Job al GreenbeIt
To Start Soon
$50 of 1,000-Unit
Project to Be Begun
Within 80 Days

Construction work on $50 homes
of the 1,000-unit defense housing
project on Government-owned acres
surrounding Greenbelt, Md, will be-
gin within 30 days, it was learned
today.
The first group OF $50 homes will
be erected south of Ridge road and
east and west Of South Way, which
intersects with Ridge road.
Another 200 dwellings will be
constructed on the eastern outskirts
of the community between North
and South Ways, just east of Ridge
road, which curves about the town.
The remaining $50 homes will be
built on a tract on the northern
limits of the community.
Surveyors have been at work for
the last several weeks, and their
job is almost completed. The Gov
ernment will advertise for bids
within the next 10 days or two
weeks
To Conform to Existing Designs.
The new homes are expected to
conform to the general architec-
tural design of buildings in the
community. However, it was dis
closed there will be no homes with
fiat roofs. All of the dwellings will
be two stories high, with gabled
roofs. They are to be either brick
veneer or asbestos shingle.
Farm Security Administration
spokesmen said the homes will
range in cost from s2,75O to $3.50.
the average about $4,000. These
figures, however, do not include de-
velopment costs and those for ex-
tension lines from the towns public
utility system.
Oficials are anxious to learn the
cost of the first $50 units as they
develop and point to the group as
| sort of trial balloon" Construc-
ton contracts for the other units
are expected to be allocated shortly
after the first group gets under
way.
One Of Largest Projects.
Inc new project is one OF The
largest assignments of 43 defense
housing projects throughout the
country recently announced by John
M. Carmody, Federal Works admin
istrator. Funds will be provided
under the terms of the sl50,0000 900
Lanham Act for defense housing.
The project will be tied in with
the present 885-dwelling communi-
ty and is expected to double Green
belts present population of approxi-
mately 5000.
Oficials consider the Greenbelt
| tract ideal as a site for a defense
housing project designed to allevi-
ate already overcrowded housing
conditions in Washington. In addi-
ton to being near the Capital, the
town already has utilities capabls
of serving a much larger COM
munlty.

DELAWAREANS DESIRE
LOCAL OPTION SABBATHS

Repeal of the ancient blue law and
substitution of local option Sab
bath statute were recommended by
the special Sunday Law Commission
in it's report to the Delaware General
Assembly last week.
The proposed law would prohibit
only public auctions, public dances,
theatricals, and motion pictures on
the Sabbath. These prohibitions
would apply particularly to unincor-
porated areas. Incorporated towns
would have the right to modify them
or make them more stringent, by 10
cal option.
No incorporated town, however
could in any way change the exist
ing statutes controlling the sale of
liquor and beer, hunting or fishing
the law states.
The three recommendations of the
special committees are:
Repeal the present law (Which
dates almost intact from at least
174O).
Substitute a series of laws hav-
ing special statewide prohibitions.
Give incorporated municipalities
power to prohibit activities further
on Sunday or to modify application
of any of the general prohibitions
in their particular areas.
Sunday activities in unincorporat-
ed towns and areas would be control
led only by the general state law.
Residents of such sections who wish
to liberalize that law or to provide
additional prohibitions would have to
incorporate as city or town first,
according to the Rev. Ralph L. Min
ker, chairman of the commission.
Attorneys said that articles of in
corporation are granted to town by
the legislature and that the state
constitution does not provide for any
minimum number of property owners
or inhabitants for any such town.
Mr.. Minker stressed that neither
the members of the commission nor
the other citizens of Delaware are

SUNDAY CLOSING
GETS THE EAR
OF LEGISLATORS

Every session of the Legislature
must, it seems devote much of its
time to the consideration of meas
ures backed by men of good intention
but motivated largely by wishful
thinking.
Back with us again, this year, is
the perennial Sunday closing" bill.
Though most thinking men and
women, including those who, while
not personally dry, were inclined to
give the mobile experiment" PRO
hibition) a chance to show what
would happen, we are entirely con-
WINGED by results that Prohibition is
a complete failure, still there is with
US a certain group who, for one reas-
on or another, want more of the sad
experience. Some of these are, of
course, the professional drys who
make a good living out of working
for more prohibition. Some of these
people are the sincere though small
dry element who prefer prohibition
regardless Of it's manifest wrongs;
and the most sinister of all is the
important group of bootleggers
crouching in the background, waiting
for a chance at their illicit profits.
What Sunday closing will do in
Maryland is plain for all of us. We
have but to go back and consider
what took place in Virginia a few
years ago.
On February %, 1887, the Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board of Vir-
ginia undertook an experiment with
Sunday closing. They issued reg
ulation which prohibited the sale of
all alcoholic beverages on Sunday
throughout the State of Virginia.
This regulation remained in effect
for a period of ninety days. On May
81, 1887, the Virginia A. B. C. Board
rescinded it's ruling and again per-
mitted Sunday sales.
During the ninety-day trial period
the Board compiled all available
statistics, namely, arrests for drunk
enness on Sunday and other days,
violations of the Alcoholic Beverages
Act, consumption of distilled spirits
and wines, and bootlegging.
Commenting on their experience,
the Virginia A. B. G. Board stated:
Zone definite conclusion which the
Board has been able to reach is that
the ban has encouraged that type
of antagonism on the part of a large
number of citizens which leads newt
ably to public disregard of law"
They further tated: "There was evil
dence indicating that the Sunday
bootlegging of state stores spirits in
creased approximately 80 per cent"
and that "the desired beneficial re-
suits have not accompanied the ban."
The mass of Virginians not only op-
posed Sunday closing, but fought it
just as the majority of people thru
out the United States have fought
complete prohibition. The Virginia
experiment proved once more the fall
lacy of minority attempting to
force its whims upon the vast ma
jority.
