Meditations

BY
Robert Lee Kincheloe

In a Nation where the birth
rate is on the rise, and in a Com
munity such as Greenbelt where
the birth rate exceeds that of the
Nation, the following Converse
ton About A Baby" by Maslin is
worth some attention:
1.-TWO women were talking and
one of them said she thought
she'd like to have a baby the
other disagreed violently. She
couldn't see the sense of it. She
didn't want any babies in her
house. Her childhood had been all
cluttered up with children and she
wasn't going to have her maturity
cluttered up with any. And the
conversation back and forth was
approximately this:
l. Babies yell so much.
But only when they are sick
or tired or hungry.
2. And they're so dirty.
But you can keep them clean.
3. They cost such lot of money.
So do other things that are
worth much less.
A. They cramp your style.
But they give you another
style.
5. It's so much trouble training
them to be civilized.
But they train you while you
are training them.
6. Yes, to be self-sacrifcing.
But that doesn't hurt me.
z. You'll be peevish and nervous
and quarrelsome, and Dick
won't like you any more.
If baby breaks up our mar
riage, it can't be much of
marriage.
8. It's just your vanity, your
wanting a child.
8. They grow up and leave you.
That's what they should do.
10. And that might be twins.
Which would be grand.
II. You're nothing but an old
fashioned female, after all.
AS have just discovered.
IL. It's criminal to bring a child
into such world as this.
Our children will have an ex-
citing life, with never a mo-
ment Of boredom.
IS. You're hopeless!
But ] was never more hope
full"

Budget Is 0. I"
Says Gawthorp

Mayor A. N. Gawthrop this
week took issue with the statement
in last weeks editorial "That Sal
airy Increase" that "town finances
are running behind the budget
....". The Mayor claims that the
town budget is in excellent condi-
ton except for the hospital. CT
ting the financial report he showed
that the total budget to July 81
was 500, 1876. Allotments to this
date amounted to $56,113.75;
actual expenditures were $48,311.
"a, leaving an unexpended and
unencumbered balance to date of
$3,793.38.
Eleven sections of the budget
are underexpended totalling ST.
945.79, and five sections are over
expended totalling $793.59. The
hospital budget has gone over its
expenditure allowed by $157.31 or
g of l percent. The main reason
for concern over the financial con-
dition of the hospital is that ex-

Winning Exhibit
Will Get Trophy

For the best exhibit in the
Town Fair trophy cup donated
by the Athletic Club will be
awarded tomorrow night. At the
first Fair in 1889 the Athletic
Club award went to the Boy
Scouts. The Garden Club was the
winner in 1910.
All other prizes and awards will
also be given out tomorrow night
at 9 o'clock on the handball court,
as the concluding feature of the
three day program of exhibits,
contests and entertainment.
Harry w. Rhodes, chairman of
the Fair, has already expressed
himself as highly pleased with the
results of the work done by the
many committees and organiza-
tons. Preliminary indications
point to record attendance for
this years Fair, with more visi-
tors from outside Greenbelt than
ever before.

state that they are completely and
utterly untrue. These unfounded
allegations are nothing but camou-
f1age for the real charge which is
that I have dared to oppose this
small, self-willed, irresponsible
group in their determination to
dominate the Association, and have
ventured to criticize the infalli-
bility of their decisions.

Saturday Is Last
Day TO Register

There is still time to register
for the coming town elections,
Town Clerk Winfield McCamy re-
minds Greenbelters in announcing
that her Office will be open tomor-
row for those who have not yet
signed up.
Mrs. McCamy advised that those
who have registered and voted in
the town elections of two years
ago will not have to register
again, and she emphasized again
that registering and voting in the
local town elections has no effect
on a persons civil service status
as a resident of another state, nor
does it prevent a local resident
from participating in state and
national elections elsewhere.

pected income is $2,O57.50 behind
the budget estimate to the end of
July. This is a deficit of approx
imately $4,000 over that already
provided for in this years budget.

A. No. Only poison that portion
showing 10 per cent infestation or
more. The Scott Syndicate Planta-
ton at Scott, Mississippi, has folds
that have never needed an applica-
ton of poison while there are other
fields which they poison as high as
four to six times every years.
Is. @. Does it pay to put one APP
plication on and not put on any
more?
A. 1t usually pays to put on three
applications at five day intervals.
In doing this, poison is on the cotton
continuously for Is to 20 days. This
is sufficient length of time to cover
the life cycle of weevil and will
usually bring the infestation below
10 per cent.
IA. @. When do boil weevils mi
CRATE (swarm)?
A. Around August 10. After they
swarm it is too late to poison.
Is. @. What time of the day is
best to poison cotton.
