Hello, Greenbelt:
You really know that summer is
on the wane when you see the kids
exchange summer playsuits for
less casual clothes and start
traipsing off to school. By the
way, it seems the new sixth grade
teacher, Mrs. Michaelis, has made
quite a hit with her pupils.
Who were the two Greenbelt
ladies engaged in verbal hair-pull-
ing last Friday afternoon, in the
center, of all places?-Wouldn't
you like to be sure you use the
right makeup, clothes and hair
style? Mrs. Mary Jane Kinzer, who
is in charge of the adult education
al program, intimated that a
course in beauty and personality
might be given if enough women
apply for it. It takes Is regis
trants to start course, y'know.
If you're interested, let Mrs.
Kinzer know.
On the sick list this week il
Alfred O'Connor, Of Berwyn. a
former Greenbelter, who is in the
Greenbelt hospital with a frac-
tured leg, incurred while playing
softball. Also, Horace "Chick"
Turner, of 2-K Westway, is walk
ing around on crutches, due to a
damaged ankle.
A picnic given at the Lake Sum
day, was attended by 80 people,
including the new Health Associ-
alton Board. Invitations were is
sued by DIR. and Mrs. Silagy. Beer,
softdrinks, and sandwiches were
provided, and a good time seems
to have been had by all. Another
picnic, on slightly smaller proper
tions, was enjoyed by Mr.. and
Mrs. Jack Ratzkin, and II Of their
guests.
Barbara Ratzkin, of 23-E Ridge
Road, celebrated her first birth
day, Sunday, with cake, candles,
n everything. Mrs. Kinzer, who
also had a birthday Sunday, cele-
brated hers by taking a drive to
Annapolis. Three-year-old Herbert
Cooper, OH Ridge Road, shared

malu0 WITH n6T TWO CLlluroN, JOHu
and Jean, returned Sunday. Miss

The hedges all around the town
took terrific trimming" the past
week. The sudden industry by
many of our neighbors, particu-
larly over the past week end could
possibly have been due to a dead
line notice that was sent to all
"hedgers" that they had "hedged"
long enough in putting their
hedges in fine trim.
Patty Beebe is much better and
will probably be home this week
end. However, her doctor has told
her that she will have to do as
little as possible for a long time,
to avoid a relapse. That means
that you will have to bear with me
for a time.
Mrs. Nancy Powers, 45Ridge
Rd., whose hip was broken this
week, is recuperating nicely.
