To the Editor---
A Flyer in Politics
To The Editor:

10 Inc EOlCOr:
1t is indeed regrettable that
there is a certain type of unscru-
pulous politician in Greenbelt who
will stoop to almost any type of
vilifcation in an effort to wreck
a successful cooperative.
l refer to the flier l found on
my doorstep Saturday, which does
not deserve the dignity of receiv-
ing notice, except that in the dirty
game of politics no mud-slinging
can be overlooked. The signers of
the fiier are indeed endowed with
imagination if they can, first, des-
cribe the editorial they submitted
to the Cooperator as "a small
paragraph of a strictly news ma
ture" (note that they say a small
paragraph, when it was, in reality
three paragraphs; second, over
look the failure of DR.. Silagy to
accept the verdict of the arbitra-
ton committee form of control
which he himself so loudly yowled
for; and third, already refute the
report of the Fact-Finding Com
mittee, which was appointed only
a day or two before the fiier was
issued, and the personnel Of which
is not yet even complete.
1t is to be noted that OF the
signers of the fiier, not one has
ever done one lick Of work to
build up the Health Association,
and Mr.. Gawthrop only last Fri
day refused to be named to the
Fact-Finding Committee. Further,
two Board members who have con-
sistently held to the slogan: "Dr.
Silagy, may he always be right,
hut right or wrong, DR.. Silagy,"'
are conspicuously absent, one OF
them. no doubt, with an eye to
the forthcoming council elections
and the additional $3.50 salary ne
voted himself. ,,u

Ethics Lecture
To The Editor:

1t is unfortunate that the Co.
operators first faltering step into
print should have been made at
the same time that it saw fit to
publish a series of accusations a.
gainst DIR. Silagy. Since the accu-
sations will not stand the light Of
impartial inquiry, it is not the
point Of this letter to defend the
reputation of a highly qualified
physician and respected member
of this community.
Quite apart from the contents
Of the story itself is the fact that
the Cooperator, with which the
writer once had the pleasure of
being associated, should display
such a garish example Of ''brass
check" journalism. That the Co.
operator should open it's news
columns to a one sided presenta-
ton of a story of this nature, and
publish therein a statement ORR
ginally prepared as a confidential
letter to the members of the
Health Association was indeed
surprising. That, at the same
time, it should deny to the other
side (there is another side, you
know a like amount of space is
incredible. So incredible is it that
the well intentioned VOW mo let
tiers to no editors" is herewith
broken.
The writer is not unaware Of
the difficulties under which the
staff of the Cooperator functions.
The conditions. are such that
lapses of intelligence are not only
possible but frequent. That such a
period prevailed when you last
went to press is the only explaina-
ton possible other than deliber-
ate attempt to be biased and NAL
ignant. 1t is possible that even
now the editor is cognizant of the
waywardness of his press, and is
taking steps to counter same. If
such is not the case it can only be
hoped that those who hold in high
esteem both the Cooperator and
the honorable profession of jour
nalism will take steps to bring into
the paper the elements Of coopela-
ton and the basic principles of
journalistic ethics.

The Price of Milk

Secretary of Labor Perkins, Vice President Wallace and
Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard.

Greenbelters along with other citizens in this af

price rise and doubt the good faith of those who
led to believe that honest effort would be made by
the Administration to provide better nutrition for
people.

Case History
To The Editor:

To The Editor:
Last winter DIR. Silagy and
Les Atkins, secretary of the
Health Association, found them
selves in frequent disagreement
Atkins gave up his position on
the board in January. During the
spring DR.. Silagy objected to
statements made by Meyer Volk,
editor of the Health Association
Bulletin-Volk resigned at the re-
quest of the board. DR.. Silagy
could not get along with DR.. S. R.
Berenberg, our senior staff doctor
DIR. Berenberg left June 1 for
the Pribiloff Islands. DR.. Silagy
developed a dislike for Manager
Bill Stewart-Stewart turned in
his resignation about June l and
left the Association a few weeks
later. DR.. Silagy and the secretary
of the Association, Don Cooper,
found themselves in complete dis
agreement-Cooper resigned at
the end of June. DR.. Silagy did
not like President Ed Weitsman
-Weitsman resigned in July. In
the meantime committee chairman
who found themselves out of SYM
pathy with DR.. Silagy's views were
forced out.
Now it is reported that DIR.
Silagy wants the designations of
the other board members except
Chinitz and Walther, even the two
who were selected to replace
Cooper and Weitsman. 1t has also
been reported to US that DR.. Silagy
finds the Associations two new
doctors unacceptable.
Could DR.. Silagy, by any chance,
be in the wrong himself? Or
are all the others out of step?

and signed Custer, Volckhausen,
Zorach and Shorb. In this educa.

special mention with the inference
that l had abused my office as
mayor by daring to openly ques-
ton their infallible wisdom. /

Der of the Health Association.
l refuse to believe that a citizen
who serves in our town govern
ment must relinquish his right to
freedom of speech or freedom of
action as a member Of other or
CARNATIONS.
AS to the charge of ignorance,
l have read the boards minutes
from January 10, 1889 to July 20,
1941 1.-THE latter parts of which,
incidentally, were written and re-
written by these same people) and
I have not found there sufficient
reason for discharging an excel
lent physician. / have seen some
of their documentary evidence
and so far am not impressed. The
name of DR.. Clark was included
because he also favored discharg-
ing the physician, but with a dif-
ferent method.
Finally, I was asked by Mr..
Custer to serve on belated fact
finding committee which he was
appointing. Not knowing the
other personnel, I was forced to
doubt its unbiased flavor and de-
cline.
I believe even the Board will
admit that even now the member
ship is in possession of a great
deal of information they would
not otherwise have had until too
late to act.

For the Board

10 The Editor:
My hat is off to the Board Of
Directors of the Health Associa-
ton. They have taken a calm and
cool position position that
leaves no doubt in my mind that
they will stand firm against any
badgering and any unfair weight
of professional medical standings
in the present fight. l think this
is one of the most important fights
SO far 1 have seen no evidence
that would make me want to with
draw my support from the Board
of Directors which / helped to
elect. I think they are doing their
best in my interest as member
and Pm only waiting for a chance
to throw my vote in their support.

Guilty Conscience?
To The Editor:

To The Editor:
The following are the facts con-
corning meeting of Health AS
ISOLATION members which took
place in the Council Room last
Monday, and the alleged "ejec-
ton" Of the Cooperator reporter.
After the meeting was well
under way a man walked in, right
up to the committee chairman's
table and sat down. He did not
identify himself or ask anyone's
leave. He was identified as nom
member of the Health Association
and asked to leave by the writer.
The treatment accorded him was
polite.
Later, the same evening, news
release was given to the Coopera-
tor.

Get the Facts
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
You hear Health Association"
in the barber shop. You hear
Health Association" in the Food
Store and in the Drug Store. You
hear it over the back fence and
you hear it in your sleep. Rumors
and more rumors are spreading
faster than you can clean out your
ears for the next batch. To all ap-
pearances this is the biggest and
bitterest and one of the most vital
fights in Greenbelt's history.
In such a situation l would
pleade for as much GOODNESS and
sanity as possible in examining the
facts and the basic meaning OF
this fight before decisions are
made and votes cast. Personali-
ties have been introduced from ali
sides. This is one of the biggest
tests we people of Greenbelt have
ever had to face, and we must
prove that we can weed non-essen-
tials from the situation, recognize
the basic problem and cody and
honestly arrive at solution.
l am all for the Fact Finding
Committee. 1t represents all sides,
and we ought to have the facts
before us. It's too important de-
cision to make on the basis OF
emotion.

Surprise

10 The Editor:
AS former staff member of the
Cooperator I can not evince too
much surprise at your last glaring
departure from the newspaper
code which you have ever pre-
tended to hold in high esteem. !
learned some time ago that fair
ness and honesty are completely
divorced from your particular con-
ception of editorial ethics. Your
deliberately biased presentation of
the current difficulties within the
Health Association is even more
understandable after a glance at
the masthead of your paper. The
only reason for this letter is to
give veiee q sincere desire,
which | know to be shared by
others, for return of decent
journalism to Greenbeit. Never
before in all it's history has the
Greenbelt Cooperator sunk so low
in its uncooperative efforts as at
the present time. Perhaps while
you are engaged in assisting an
other organization with its house.
cleaning you might turn your
energies toward the only (regret-
tably) newsorgan of Greenbelt,
which has so clearly demonstrated
it's need for some sort of catharsis.

To the Editor:
The people Of Greenbelt should
know the question that is now up
before the Health Group. It is:
"Do you want DIR. Silagy or do
you want the Health Association"
For some time it has been seen
that if any of the Board members
could think or say anything but
eyes, yes" they were not wanted
by DR.. Silagy apd his personal
friends.

REGISTRARS WANT
 NEW CARD SYSTEM
Burgesses Board Asked for $500 Grant to Make
 Proposition Effective

Naugatuck, Nov. 5-Local regis trars of voters asked the board of warden and burgesseS at It's regu- lar meeting last night for a grant or $500 to permit them to put into effect a new card system and make other arrangements to conform with the new state laws.
 The board accepted the communi- cation from Registrars Cyril Tuohy and Henry Zwick and decided to defer action until next month. Tn the meantime the board members will be given copies of new regu- lations regarding applications from persons wishing to be made voters and will study these.
 Warden Leo J. Brophy told the board he discussed the request with the registrars Monday night. The request said that a new card sys- tenn which would be much better than the present system would be necessary, and the registrars asked quick action in view of the difn- culty in getting material.
 The registrars also said in their letter, We also have in mind a change on voting day, whereby checking at the polls can be ex. pedited. This will eliminate the waiting in line for several minutes before you can vote. The procedure on this will be worked out as some future time"
 MT. Brophy said there would be approximately 5000 names to be typed and it his conference with the registrars Monday night. they could not give an estimate of how much this would cost, nor could they give breakdown of the $500 they asked, he said.
 The warden felt 1t might be pos- sible that a woman who does typing at the town hall now might be able to assist in typing out the cards, instead of having the town go to the expense of getting an outside typist. There was not much discus sion on the matter.
 The meeting was quiet one. Only four burgesses attended. Burgess George Fellows being i'll at St. Mary's hospital, and Burgess An- drew OToole being absent, report edly because of sickness.
 Hearing Nov. 2I
 The board after some discussion voted to hold hearing on a request for sidewalks on Dunn avenue. Burgess Anthony Tangredi brought up the matter. saying he understood that the matter had been pending for a long time and that residents of that street wanted some action. A check of the records showed that a petition was submitted over a year ago and IS out of a property owners there signed the petition asking for walks and curbs.
 The hearing will be held on Erie day, Nov. 2i at 8 p. m. It was brought out in the discussion that there Is no possibility of the work being done this year because side. walk jobs are done in the spring and summer months.
 It was also pointed out by Warden Brophy that the WPA force Is much smaller now and consists for the most part of elderly men. because of this some requests for walks could not be filled this year be- cause with the limited force. about alI that could be done was to finish sidewalk work which had been started the previous year.

Naugatuck, Nov. 6--A request for a hydrant near the ofice of the Eastern Maileahle Iron company on Bridge street was approved last night by the burgeSses board. A I0-inch main was installed in that section recently and 1t is felt that 1t would be impracticable to move a hydrant on Spring street to that locality. This new hydrant will furnish better protection not only to the factory but also to business men in that vicinity. the warden pointed out. The motion for 1t was made by Burgess Joseph Dinneny.
 The street light committee was ordered to investigate a number of requests for street lights, including the following streets: Hill street, Forest street, corner of Hard and Spencer streets; Quinn street; New street extension, Hickory street, Neagle street, Woodbine street, Chestnut street and Park avenue.
 Street Signs
 A communication from Harold Keeler, president of the Chamber of Commerce, was read. It pointed out that there Is need for street signs here. It added the Chamber believes 1t to be for the best interest of the town to have as many signs as possible. The letter said the Chamber believes the signs would not be expensive and added, We understand that quite a number of signs can be erected for the amount in the budget"
 Warden Brophy pointed out that he did not concur with this belief, as there is only $50 in the budget for street signs. However, he agreed that there should be more street signs here.
 It was explained some signs were made in @ IVA project last year hut this was forced 10 suspend. These were wooden signs. Metal signs are expensive, it was StateH, There is urgent need for a street sign on Woodland street, Burg0s Tangredi said. The warden said an effort will be made to utilize what remains Of the $50 appropriation for more signs.
 Burgess Tangredi requested a dead-end sign be placed on Auburn street and the police chief will be instructed to have this done. The street superintendent will soon en-
