Briefly, what of the advantages of the
Health Association Cooperative?

that no one physician can hope to keep abreast
OF 1t. Our group practice method brings togeth-
er the knowledge, skill and experience of sever

ment of the Mayo Clinic, group practice ha been
recognized as the most effective way of diaenos-
ing and treating disease.
~ Accurate diagnostic equip Iment is imperative
II patients are to get adequate medical care.
This equipment is expensive, and the average
physician cannot buy all of it he needs. By CON-
b1n1ng the resources of patients and doctors and
making each piece of expensive eoui pment serve
all the doctors instead of only one, We bring
down the costs for each member. Each new member
helps In this way to spread costs. YOUR member

We Pay Taxes

Last week the State Department of Health decided
that Greenbe1t entitled to the aid from
county health officials as other Prince Georges
County towns.
We welcome and appreciate any assistance that
State and County officials may give to Greenbelt.
We would Like to point out more, however, what
many people do not to understand. Greenbelt
residents pay taxes just like anyone else. We live
In rented homes, just millions of other people
do, and part Of the rents pay used taxes
to support town, county, and state governments
True, these called payments in lieu of
taxes" but that's technical term that subtracts
nothing from their value. Heres the way it works.
The Farm Security Admin stration our landlord.
This government agency collects rents. Then out
of these rents it makes "payments In lieu of
to the Town of Greenbelt, Prince Georges County, and
the State of Maryland.
Greenbelt accordingly entitled to receive what
any other ta5paying community in Maryland receives,
not favor but something bought and paid for.
It's simple that.

For Our Safety

1shed giving to fellow f1refi ghters in Greenbelt
have value seldom appreciated. TOO often the quiet
work of tecnitions is contributed wi thout not ice
and without the applause which greets spectacu-
lar events in community life.
M. Walkers course has made Greenbelt a safer
place in mich TO live. The nine graduates in his
studies give uranee that no possible step
IN community fire prevention is being cverl ooNed.
This Is good point at which 20 urge nor e d

 High Sheriff Ernest Novey, former mayor of Torrington, took every pre- caution possible in guarding the mo- torious inmates from New York. Every window and door of the court room was guarded by state police men and court officers.

 The inmates brought from New York to testify in this case are Ralph Briggs, serving 45 to 60 years for a robbery in Philmont, N. Y., Edward Olszewski, serving 20 to 40 years for New York state robbery, and Luman Olivo, serving 10 to 20 years, for an armed robbery in New York state.

 Chief Roach said that in the fu- ture the department contemplates installing walk lights on the sig nal. When the walk light" flashed, he said, all traffic will be stopped.
 Experiments
 Experiments have been conducted of late at several important traffic points. At West Main and Willow streets thep Ian was tried out Sun day and led to a number of com plaints on the part of confused pe- destrians, who were of the opinion that they were being cheated of the necessary time in making safe crossing. Explanations followed and no serious arguments resulted.
 The plan may appear strange to many Waterburians for a few days, but it is only a question the police say of becoming accustomed" to the new arrangement. There will be no shorte ming of time for pedestrians to effect crossings at intersections.

Census work in Waterbury was back on regular schedule today, fol- lowing a special enumeration last night of hotel guests, transients and itinerants. Supervisor w.

 One of the most colorful portions of last nights work fell to Enumer- ator Francis DWyer who was as- signed the task of asking census questions of the inhabitants of Hol- lywood- by the -Naugatuck the squat ters' colony which police have or dered closed time and again. MT. DWyer had to make his way through mountains of tin cans and other de- bris, step gingerly over rats and seek almost inaccessible huts and shan ties. Two policemen accompanied him on his trip.
 Meantime other enumerators were visiting hotels, lodging houses and the police station. At hotels, forms were left to be filled out by guests At the lodging houses and the police station, residents and temporary

Supt. of Police William J. Roach announced today that, to comply with the state traffic code, there will be no amber light on the traffic lights when the signal changes from red to green. The chief said the change is now being made and will shortly be in effect at all traffic lights.
 The present system shows the amber light between the red and green lights and vice versa, but hereafter the amber light will show only when the light is changing from green to red. The chief said the state traffic authorities believe there is no necessity for the amber light when traffic is stopped al- ready.

You get another insight into what nonentity he is when you know George White or Myron SelZnick never have taken the trouble to slap him.
 Another tip-off on how socially impossible he is concerns his in- difference to his pals marriages. He never gives himself guess on how long before they break up.
 Never once has he been quoted by the first night crowds making a belittling pun on the shows title.
 He was almost ruined socially when it was revealed that his name was not included among the cus- toners in bookmaker Frank Brick sons betting ledgers.
 Last winter he became the laugh ing stock of the city when ne of fered fantastic reason for not holidaying in Florida. He said ne couldn't afford it.
 
 He tries to cover his embarTass- ment over not being recognized by head-waiters by claiming he pre- fers to be called by name by re- ceiving tellerS at the banks.
 Whenever he's caught hob-nob- ping with other obscure folks, who can do him no good, he makes the lame excuse that he likes those people.
 He is such a sucker that he oftel. helps somebody in distress and sWal- lows the unfortllnate's story that he really needs help.
 Several witnesses caught him red handed buying tickets to a show and he made some apologetic crack about the theater needing receipts in order to survive.
 He is a dope on foreign affairs. and can't give you even an inkling of what Hitlers campaign plans are.
 As matter of fact, he's none too bright on the affairs here at home and Farley and Roosevelt have lots of secret confabs which he can't report verbatim.
 He was home in bed the night Vincent Coll was machine-gunnea and for that reason is without any hair raising yarns on how close the slugs came to him.
 When you mention Mabel" and 'Liz' to him. he thinks they're a couple of your chums, not the of- ficial tags for Clifton Webb's ma and Mrs. John Hay Whitney.

DkNOADWAA ALAEkN His doom is so complete he's never been mentioned in a Cole Porter lyric, a aufmaKn & Hart comedy, or framed in Sardi's gallery.
 He's such a waShout at parties he never comes through with even one anecdote which insults the Presi- dent of the United States.
 None of the night club bands well comes him with his favorite tune. He wouldn't know it if he heard it and, in fact, he can't tell one band from another.
 When Beatrice Lillie calls up from London she never inquires about what he's said lately or how he's doing. Brenda Frazier stepped on his foot on the dance floor one night (and promptly said Farm me") but he didn't hint to the press that she was his intended.
 When he pops 8 good pun he doesn't try for a better reception by crediting it to Dorothy Parker, and he's too dumb to make T. Bankhead the spinner of the blue gags his barber tells him.
 He does not consider it blessed privilege to be insulted by Oscar Levant or A. Woollcott. In fact, he'd fight.
 He has no sense of style, and has never worn a yellow wrap-around overcoat.
 He never dimes at the proper cafes. He ducks the celebrity traps and picks his spots for such weird pref erences as food and service.
 You get an idea of how lacking he is in breezy small talk when you can mention a girl without his &C., cusing her of something.
 Nobody ever comes to him for an idea, and he'll tell you frankly he gave Disney no help in Snow White" and that Vivien Leigh got her job without any boost of his.
 Barbarian" is what he's called by. the elite because he can't choose the correct wines. He has no ex- cuses. either. for he has watched the experts pick the right ones until they fell unconscious.
 Just why Sumner We]les went off to Europe is not one of his secrets. In fact, he can't even give you the loWdoWn on OrSon.
 His "reminiscences are very tame. He never threw punch at Arnold Rothstein, Legs Diamond, Dutch Scl ultz or any of the other paddles wh. are now tco dead to contradict him.
 If he gets kodaked in a night club looking idiotic with foolish look ing femme, he doesn't count that as a rnark of prestige. To him it's the penalty you pay for frequenting such joints.
 He has no regrets for having failed to invest in Coca-Cola, NEG or life With Father" in their struggling days, for all were flour iShing before he ever heard of them.
 He can't guarantee you the win her of the Kentucky Derby, be- cause he has a silly superstition about there being no "sure thing.
 Whenever there's a murder. or some other major crime committed, he never knows who did it until af- ter the police find out.
 The 1929 market crash didn't count him as one of it's spectacular patsies, for he lost only twice as much as he said he did.
