Soopbox Derby Entront
Builds Z Trial Frumes
Before Starting Car

Sandy Ferber leaves his Soap Box
Derby racer in the back yard of
his home when not tinkering with
it, but this entry in Washington's
194t coaster classic for boys is not
unprotected. The guardians are
Smitty, a biting cat, and nestful
of bees.
Sandy was somewhat apologetic
yesterday as he pulled a heavy tar
paulin off his masterpiece. He was
afraid it would appear far from
completion. However, the Soap Box
Derby editor found the car taking
shape neatly with smooth, stream
lined appearance in prospect.
The 13-year-old Hine Junior High
School student, who lives at 1917 E
street Sc, keeps the racer near a
shed, under the caves of which
ominous sounding bees make their
home. Smitty, husky animal,
aids them in guarding the premises,
it seems. for Sandy declares the cat
makes full use of teeth as we'll as
claws when annoyed.

Chevrolet dealer nearest their home,

Booster Sign
To Sing Glories
OF Greenbelt

Not having a chamber of com.
nierce or booster clubs, local resi-
dents are turning to the Citizens
Association for publicity on
Greenbelt. At it's Monday night
meeting the Citizens Association
approved the erection of booster
sign, 8 by 6 feet, at the inter
section of Edmonston Road and
the Branchville Road, near the
high school.
On the. sign will appear an out
line map of Greenbelt showing
Astreets and main points of inter.
EST such as the Shopping Center.
Elementary School, rifle range.
Icnic areas, swimming pool, and
,hrom's airfeld. information on
pulation, elevation and other
lures of the community will
also be listed.
The structure will have a rustic
frame and probably be green and
White. An appropriation of $25
has been made by the Citizens
Association for the work.
Lyman Woodman, chairman of
public relations for the assocla-
ton, drew prolonged applause at
the Monday night meeting when
ne presented the idea together
with a sketch of the map he had
in mind.
Mr.. Woodman also told the
Cooperator that he has plans
ready on combination map and
information leaflet for distribu-
ton free to visitors at the service
station and drug store. This will
te presented to the Citizens AS
ssociation for approval in the near
future.

3 Meeting Rooms
Closed to 8 Groups

A new regulation, affecting
eight or 10 local organizations,
denies the use of the social, home
economics, and arts and crafts
rooms in the Elementary School
as meeting places.
Because of the expected influx
of school-age children in the new
homes, these rooms are being con-
verted into class rooms. Approx
mately 100 new students are ex-
pected by the first of the year,
when the first 152 homes have
been occupied. When the re-
mainder of the houses have been
accepted and occupied, it is PLAIN
ned to divide the classes into half
day shifts until the new school
is built.
Tentative plans have been
made for new administrative
building. This would leave the
present office space available for
meetings, until the new school is
completed.

Cooperator Staff
Revised at Confab

In an effort to improve the
Cooperator's contents and appear
ance still more and to more clearly
define responsibility On the staff
several shifts in appointments
were announced by Editor Francis
S. Fosnight Monday night.
Donald H. Cooper will be asso-
ciate editor, Sally Meredith is
promoted to assistant editor in
charge of news, Jack Shaeffer will
serve as assistant editor in charge
of copy. Business manager will
be William Stewart, advertising

and Orville F. Wendland has been
put in charge of circulation. Mr..
Fosnight indicated to staff men,
bers that although the changes
were slight he expected them to
produce a smoother working Or
ganization.
There was agreement by the
editors at this weeks staff meet
ing on the need for more COM
plete' coverage of local news to
replace filler material which has
been used in the paper. There
was also a decision to observe
more consistant news and edito-
rial policy.

Elementary School
Brushing Up
On Carol Singing
BY KATHRYN M. WOOD

The spirit of Christmas is how
ering closely over Greenbelt Ele-
mentary School these days, with
carol singing in the hall inviting
all the children who care to
spend 20 minutes before school
every morning singing the dearly
familiar Christmas carols. Seated
on the floor around the piano,
which is played each morning Of
the week by different teacher,
the group of those who come early
to enjoy this music is increasing
in size daily.
An operetta, "The Gift of the
Magi" is being prepared during
school hours for the Christmas
program. The scene is laid in
medieval England in a cathedral
town on Christmas eve. The
theme of the story is the mystery
of a child who had been abducted
from her family and her joyful
reunion with a long-lost brother
who had been away in the Cru
sades, and whom she believed, on
seeing him, to be one of the Magi.
1t is the familiar story of a poor
girl in her search for happiness,
against the colorful background Of
the cathedral and the atmosphere
of long-ago England, done in
Christmas music.
Group four of the Elementary
School has moved to the social
room. The change has been plan
ned to help the children to make
adjustments before the advent of
the children of new defense hous-
ing families. The home economics
room will be used by changing
classes of social science students.
1t is hoped that this change will
help to fill the need for Junior
High School facilities.
Because of lack of space, last
weeks article did not give credit
where it was so much deserved:
namely to the children and their
director, Miss Matte Mae Will
ford. for the fine dramatization
of Down, Down the Mountain"
by Ellis Creole at the PIT. A..
meeting.

Gene Hesse is New Head
OF Health Association

For the second time since the
formation of the Greenbelt Health
Association, Gene Hesse will as
sumo the craftsmanship of the
board Of directors at its next
meeting. He automatically sue
ceeds the previous chairman, Sam
Creggar, who has resigned due to
a change of residence.
1t was under Mr.. Hesse's direc-
tion that the Health Association
took it's first steps and overcame
it's early difficulties. AS men,
Der of various committees of the
Citizens Association and Green
belt Consumers Services and serv-
ing as an officer of the Parent
Teachers Association and Gun
Club, Mr.. ,Hesse has participated
in many phases of Greenbelt life.

After considerable and lively
discussion the gathering voted in
favor of a limited QUESTIONABLE to
be received from all residents and
a more comprehensive question
naire from those affected. Copy
OF QUESTIONABLE appears in this
issue of Cooperator.)
A motion was passed in favor
of the erection of a sign at
the junction of Southway and
Edmonston road which will con-
tain a map and information about
Greenbelt.
Ben Rosenzweig, chairman of
the Public Safety Committee, gave
detailed description of the du-
ties of the School Boys Patrol.
Consisting of 13 members, this
Patrol is recognized by the white
belt and silver shield that adorns
their coats. The members of the
patrol voluntarily give one-half
hour before and after school as
well as half of their lunch period,
in order to insure the safety of
children going and coming to
school. AS a gesture of recogni-
ton the association voted to
meet Mr.. Hodsdon's proposal of
placing enough funds aside to en-
able each of the Patrol members
to attend the local movie twice
each month free of charge. Mr..
Hodson, of Consumers Services,
has already given his consent to
this proposal.
The transportation committee
was asked to work more closely
with the Prince Georges County
committee on the possibility of
establishing train service from
Laurel to the 18th Street yard in
Washington; moreover, sugges-
tion was made to the Public Safe
ty Committee to see that the poles
along the roads leading to and
from Greenbelt are repainted
white before the first snow fall
as they are almost the sole IN
dicators to drivers as to the ex-
lstence of a road after a heavy
snowfall.
The drawing followed with your
reporter Offering his services and
Mr.. and Mrs. Ray S. Bochert of
6-S Hillside were the unlucky
persons to be selected from the
bowl. Unlucky, because by noe
being at the meeting at the time
the prize will be carried over to
the next meeting and double it's
cash value. So if you think you
can use $40 watch for the next
Citizens Association meeting.

1t is interesting to know that
the three newest additions to the

the following Tuesday, the reg

Mrs. Charlotte Wagner, nur-
sery school teacher, is hoping
that the two books, "The Little
Train" by Lois Lenski, and "The
Train Book" by Pryor, that were
apparently BORROWED" without
benefit of permission will be re-
turned. Unfortunately these books
were not the property of the
school, but belonged to Mrs. Wag-
