Tax Cut

With taxes mounting everywhere the action of
the Town Council in controlling the 1910 budget to
the extent OF actually reducing the tax rate for
next year is really news. careful examination re-
veals that the cuts which have been made in way

The protest against high taxes which has been
rising at steady pace along with the increased
taxes themselves has generally shown Lack of
thought and understanding. Few people want public

So long decide that want better schools,
health programs, protection, information, and the
countless thousands of jobs which believe should

UNFAIR CRITICISM OF GREENBELT
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Most Greenbelt cit IL have from time to tine,
am sure read in the various Washington newspapers
articles that tend to satirize and ridicule our
town. There is gentle touch of sarcasm in each
and every article I have read. The gentlemen who
wri then to be Ell ter grossly misinformed
else their irony affords them the utmost delectation.
several of the articles they have tried to place
the citizens Of Washington under the great misappre
hension that struggling along outhere under
the strain of such rigid "r,1es and regu1ations'

that out for the benefit of the people
and the preservation of the most beautiful little
town in many states.
In the future the newspaper writer's might aid the

citing the very mary useless and mcalledfor "rules
and regulations" of that city.

1t is known fact that the average family with
an annual income of 600 less afford the
luxury of running to doctor with anything that to
the layman may minor. Yet how much wiser it is
to treat, fight, and survive ordinary case of
grippe, than to wait until pneumonia has developed
before it is considered serious enough to warrant
the expense of calling physician. Only the doctor
can tell whether sore throat is just that whe-
ther the dreaded streptococci present. Only
doctor can tell whether Johnry's is some
thing mother can treat whether a mastoid infec-
tion is present. Info runately, in the average city,
people m tn Low incomes at present forced to
gamble with the health Of themselves and their fam
Lies because they cannot afford to call the doctor
unless it seems absolutely necessary.
Such dition, in which veal tn seems to be the
main factor in determining health and life
span, does not have to exist. The Greenbelt Health
Association gives all of the opportunity, in
spite of low incomes, to gain back those seven
years ordinarily enjoyed by those able to afford
doctor at any time. The Association, m tn its
stress on preventive medic inc, help make
belt of the healthiest corununi ties in the
try. cold need not be allowed to develop
into grippe, and then pneumonia. Minor ailments
need not develop into major troubles. Greenbelt

Born in San Francisco, Mr..
Mullahey found his family hauling
him of to Hawaii when he was but
3 months old. When he was
7 he enrolled in the first grade
at st. Louis College, spent four
years there, then embarked for
Manila, where he spent three years
learning the Filipino language,
among other things. Then he re-
turned to st. Louis College to con-
tinue his elementary and secondary
schooling.
Now Mr.. Mullahey was spending
his summers on Molokai, shooting
goats and deer. The main portion
of Molokai, an island of about
5000 inhabitants, is taken up by the

spent some 20 years, finally to con-
tract the dread malady himself and
