Home Nursing Service

From questions asked and points raised by citi-
who attended the Town Council meeting Of Decem-
Der 27, when the budget being H scussed, there
is evidently sme confusion about the duties Of
department of public health. Nei ther this any
other public health department has been designed to
serve visiting society, but rather to do
educational work to help people to stay healthy and
to supervise such public-not private services-as
prevention of epidenics examination of school chill
dren, inspection of water and milk supply.
That several families have expressed need for
free bedside does not indicate that public
health organization need be diverted from its proper
work. Indi gent families in other towns turn to the
standard charity and relief oranizati which have
been set up to provide such services for those WtD
cannot afford to pay for 1t. Such facilities
available in Greenbelt through the Welfare Commit
tee.
If the need for bedside service is widespread
there remain two proper Of action. The
Health Association could well consider the addition
of home nursing service at a small extra charge
per month. This would take Of third Of the
to's population at present the Association
grows. Some families (about 5oo) already have home
nursing service available through insurance policies.
Another solution to the demand, If there is one,
would be the setting up of regular mmici pal
ing service which could be operated in conjunction
with the mmic cipa1 hospital. Such project, in
der to the entire town would run into consid-
cradle cost, but have it If want 1T badly
enough to pay for 1t with increased taxes.
In other communities there is enough spread in
income that the rich be taxed to provide
vices for the poor. That is just and proper, but
here in Greenbelt all in fairly narrow in
stratum. Any service set up here must be avail
able to everyone in town and must be paid for by all

The Ultimate Achievement

From his earliest beginnings man was dominated.
Dominated first by his ervirorment-by saber-tooth
tigers, and mamoths; by famine and pestilence and
finally, by the matriarciy that the first form
of society.
HIS energence from this primitive subservience
was followed by period of quasi-volmtary subnis-
sion to dominance by chieftains, heroes, or Mill
tary captains, and by priests. Never through
Longs weary ages was he the master of his soul.
Even the Towering of the Grecian cul t,re and
the proud city-otates of the Hellenic era, boasted
freedom more imaginary than real. For here, the
patrtcian, pretty little udramau played in the
goaning, sweating, to11ng bodies of helots, slaves
Of the free peoples who ruled all.
The spirit Of true democracy was not ouickened
1nt1 after the Renaissa the Reformation had
Lighted the way by showing the world that Tighten
nent and education, that the rule of the
Inherent ri ghts of ind vi duals to life and liberty
were not subject to exception. That each man was
the peer of his neiGhbor, and that circms tance
could not be brooked instrument for continued
oppression Of the wpriv11eged blythe mi gry few.
The final Towering of these ideas tn the
18th century and the rise Of those movements which
overhrew the depotic yoke for the establi sent Of
government by the people, and of the equality of
before the Law, Of the final incorporation of the
BILL Of Rights of the days of King John, valid,
inviolab1e doctrine of republican government.
The establi hment Of this equality of men, of the
rights of self-ru1e, of freedom from political,
conomdc, and religious despotim was the elimination
of years of effort to achieve form of society in
which equal ity the cornerstone Of government
where each man was held fit to be the Judge Of his
destiny.
How lightly people must hold this precious rr1u-
1ege M1mg with such effort, vi tn such blood and
toll from gradging hands, when they would gladly de-
liver it up for the chimera of "securdt" mder the
rule of despots termed "1eaders" "comrades" who
are endowed by the mystic alchemy which held
sway centuries ago, M tn the "divine rights" of alb
so1ute rule their humble and subservient ncil-
drenH.
Surrender of democracy can be no forward step,
because there is historical precedent for the rule
of benevolent despots" and they have achtev-
ed their aims and can.
On1u Ill
of ceaseless vigilance, of sustained effort, deep
and serious thought bel ieve that yielding
up the birthright of freedom for every regard
less of race, creed, color, is anything but
backward step. Especially when the "state~ or the
"pro1etariat" handful of in whom are vest

to their caprice and personal pre- judice.

Letters to &dtor
DO YOU REMEMBER?

To the Editor:
Do you remember when you moved to Greenbe1t and
for the first time caught the true spirit Of
ulnity! There the hope of better life, Of bet
ter surroundings, Of adequate SHELTER and Of oppor
tunity to be of service to your fellow There
the realization that home the keeper
of spirit among gentle spirit, yet
with the strength to grip any heart with its unself
ish ideaisn, its social consciousness, and compass
sion for the welfare of others.
Here economic philosophy that would square
wi the teachings Of Christ, the principles Of Amer
lean Democracy and the convictions and beliefs
non to all good men. Here way Of life sim
pie that need therein yet logical and
sound to defy adverse argument. Here the
spiritual satisfaction that only from col
lective achievement in a common Brotherhood. Here
the emotional security that only from
abiding faith in the ultimate destiny of the ha-
Here the religious and intellectual
freedom that only from mutual determinat ion
to advance common understanding. Here the quiet
beauty, the dignity, the practicability that
only come from design and planning. In short, you
caught spirit which, in its complete development,
is known as HCooperative Philosophy.

is further publ ictty for the acting group on their

While the Players appreciated the review,as such,
which appeared following "The Cradle Songs in Last

The service Of greatest good in connection with
the productions of the local drama group therefore
would be an out-and-out criticism following play,
of the handling Of the diaolgue, the mechanics of
the action, the preparation Of the set, and a-
pearance of the makeup.
The Greenbelt Players organization is performing
Hhat mi ght be termed civic service. It exists
two principal reasons: first, to offer to the co1-
ity an appreciation of the drama; second, provide
a communal creative activity for the leisure-time
pleasure and benefit Of the citizens participate.
For these it logical that the Players
expect the support and cooperation of the admin
tion and the population. Helpful newspaper criti-
c1sm of the grop's endeavors is certainly support
wi ch will aid in increasing the skill of the actors
and actresses of town.

Why does Consumer Services elect its directors
by the Hare Propr tiona1 Representation method?
This is a difficult question to answer briefly.
The Hare method provides that any group Of
the members shall elect that proportion of the
Board that the group bears to the entire member
ship. Under this method group of 81 per cent
majority of the Board only; they could not de-
prive the other ~ per cent of the members Of
their share Of representation on the Board. Un-
der the usual method of voting 81 per cent of
the members could elect the entire Board and de-
prdve the minority Of all voice in the Boards
deliberations. The Hare method tends to prevent
single groups from monopolzing control Of the
organization, and It serves to discourage rail-
roading tactics. According to the Encyclopedia

heavy, with a uniform dark color and
blemishes. You'll find that one weigh
ing about two pounds will be enough
to serve 5 or 6 persons. Pare off the
skin and cut the vegetable in small,

of fat in a skillet, add a chopped green

bread crumbs with a little melted fat
and sprinkle over the egg plant. Bake
in a moderate oven for 5 minutes, or
until the egg plant is tender and the
crumbs are brown.
Stuffed Cucumbers
Cucumber are featured in so many
salads that many cooks forget how
good they are when served hot. Pare
the cucumbers and cut them in half
lengthwise. Then scoop out the pulp
to make cucumber shells. Parboil
these cucumber shells, or boats, about
ten minutes. Meanwhile cook some
chopped onion and parsley in fat, add
the cucumber pulp, some chopped raw
tomatoes or canned tomatoes, bread

minutes. Stuff the cucumbers with this
hot mixture, place in a baking dish,

If your garden furnishes more rad

served with a sauce made of top milk
