CONSTITUENTS SHOULD ADVISE LAWMAKERS

CONSTITUENTS SHOULD ADVISE LAWMAKERS
To the Editor;
How stupid that some individuals in Greenbelt who
are alleged to have participated in World are
among the minority of citizens who do not want to
notify the national legislature to whether they
desire to remain out of the present European con
fHct.
1t is not conceivable that any citizen would be
opposed to making his or Id 8 comunty's wants known
to Congress that the lawmakers mi ht be properly
guided by their consti tuents.
It Is most alarming to observe that some veterans
do not oppose Americas Intervention again in some
body else's war.
We are still paying for our Last few wars in
money and In the hreparable loss Of loved ones, and
can little Afford economically socta1ly,to enter
war again. Our move is not to cross the sea and
Hght,but to arm and fortify our own territory to
point where successful interventi by other powers
would be utterly impossible.
The Chi eff Executives latest message to ex-prenl-
Ter Reynaud Of France, said that it was up to the
Congress Of the United States to state the nations
stand at this time. In representative type Of
government 1t is duty to tell Congress- how we
feel about the natter. Congressman legi slate
by mental telepathy with constituents.
Those In dreenbelt who complain that the recent
Citizens Association resolution to the President and
to Congress vas not representative have only them
selves to blame. All were invited to attend and
each had to be heard.

We glad to Prince Georges County fire de-
partments drop their fight against the state fire
works ban. It seemed paradoxica1 to that the
group which expected to be most interested In
fety to life and property should want to continue
sale Of dangerous fireworks.
year ago Town Council held certain fire.
works to be dangerous and banned their sale
in Greenbe1t. Aside from several individual pro-
tests from residents who were "sti11 just boys at
hearts the Whole natter considered closed is
sues
When the Maryland State insurance comm ssioner
followed up lead by banning the sale of danger
Gus fireworks surprised at the terrific pro-
test raised by fire companies in nearby comni ties.
It seems, however, that their main Of
has been carnivals and the sale of fireworks.
Since fireworks cause fires could some sort Of
tie between fire departments and the sale of fire
works, but had supposed that fire companies would
be for and not against such a safety ruling as the
just mades Somehow it suggested supporting To-
cal police by the sale Of guns, and churches the
sale of atheistic pamphlets. We have little sympa-
thy for such approaches to community finance prob
lens.
Greenbelt has been criticized for its high taxes,
but We are not reduced to the support of fine
fire department by the sale of fireworks. If taxing
to support community services is too old-fashioned
suggestion for mel ghboring towns, then we may
hope that the fire depar tnents find to sell
commodity less calculated to community damage.

NOT ENOUGH PUBLICITY

To the Ed tors
As an ordinary citizen of Greenbelt, wish to
correct what consider, wrong Impressions created
both by passage of the resolution to the President
and Congress by the residents of Greenbelt the
article concerning it it appeared in the coopera-
tor of June 6.
In view of the undeni and recognized fact.
sad though 1t may be, that CT tizens of Greenbelt
have not shown interest been active in the
Greenbe1t Citizens Association; (ths is ref1ec-
ton on its conscientious hard working president
intended to include its comnittees).
1t is my opinion that the whole conduct of the
meeting, eliminating in this resolution would
have been impartial if all sides in this ques-
ticn of national defense program had been pre-
ed.
Why wasn't another speaker, preferable senator
on the Military Affairs Committee, with a different
viewpoint from that of Senator Me, procured and
given equal time and recognize on the program?
Since the substance of the resolution not
known in advance why wash It time, under more
favorable condi tions provided for discussion of it?
The report of the meeting it appeared in the
Cocperator, tended to give the impression
that the resolution passed by overwhelming
majority of the 300 Greenbe1 ters present. large
number left after the resolution proposed Many
refraned from voting either way. Of the IS who did
vote, the official count 50 for and 26 against.
Under these circumstances it is my tention
that the resolution should not have been sent to
Congress, representing the people of Greenbelt.

MeditatiOns

Robert Lee Kinche1oe
Minister to the
Greenbelt Community Church

Several requests have been voiced for more of the
type of poetry presented in recent effort Of this
column. The following is by Stanton A. coblents
gave US one of the others previously quoted:
We WHO BUILD VISIONS
Stalled on the sddelines must hope and wait.
We who build visions Of world at peace.
We cannot bid the cindery storms to cease,
Nor halt the f1ame-uinds Of mems rage and hate.
Nor dream that pens Will 1egi slate
Or the heart check the sword while the swords
increase,
Nor that our sobs prayers Will release
From those b1ood-spotted hands that desecrate.
Yet this know: the world is peace at heart.
With peace the woods are greenp the stars recite
Her Wordless Htanies; and in the soul
Of the strong hills she plays timeless part.
And In mans spirit where she comes by night
And shall remain when the last gmfires roll.
If analyze what we have just read and call
ourselves builders of peace in the world, these
lines would merely have realize the futility Of
putting stop to the hate that has been engendered
down the years and turn faces to the woods and
hills where peace and quiet reign supreme. Would

stranded American citizens await
ing transportation to the United

credentials by climbing to fire look
out towers on State and national
forests.
The order was started in 1927 by
a Minnesota State forest ranger, A.
w. Stone, and has since gained
such popularity that it is spreading
to all parts of the country where
there are forests. Sponsored by the
forest service, ii makes its start this
year in Region One.
The primary object of the Squir-
rel club is to prevent man-caused
fires by enlisting the active coop
Grafton of the public. There are no
dues, and no formality in joining.
One merely climbs to the top of one
of the lookout stations and the man
on duty there does the rest This
guard will demonstrate the meth
DDS used in detecting and reporting
fires, and will ask each applicant
for membership to sign pledge
to use utmost care with fire while in
the forest. The visitor will then

With the coming of the dry
summer season. the Forest Service
is doing everything possible to
strengthen the first line of defense
against forest fire. says Axel Lindh,
chief of Fire Control at Missoula.
we must not only man our look
outs so as to detect fires when they
are small, but we must also do ev-
erything possible to prevent fires
from starting Many of our most
disastrous forest fires have been
man-caused and could have been
prevented by little care and fore
sight on the part of the persons re-
sponsible. These membership cards
are intended TO enlist such coop
Grafton by calling attention to the
necessity of observing safe habits in
the woods.
According to latest figures. there
are 776 lookouts in the Northern
Rocky Mountain Region. In gen.
eral, these are manned throughout
the summer. although sometimes
funds have not been available to
keep all of them in operation
through the dry months. Many of
these lookouts can be reached by
car over roads which are safe for
those used to mountain driving
Cards will be available at all points
where men are stationed.
