| don't know who was respon-
sible for the party on the night
of October 81, but would great
ly appreciate being advised as to
what provisions have been made
to effect the return to the right
full owners of the many and sun
dry items of personal property
loaned so injudiciously to the
yelling, hooting band of scaven-.
ger-hunters that raided our apart
ment building at 1890 P. M. that
night, waking the babies to cry
for l don't know how long, and
Just generally disturbing the quiet
peace we have been taught to
expect in Greenbelt.
1t would appear that some
where in the curriculum of our
educational institution we have
failed to provide the means Of
instilling in the minds Of our
younger generation the sense OF
responsibility, of appreciation,
and of consideration for others,
that is so necessary in the make
up of the adult citizens we hope
to see them grow up to be.

Vegetable soups are too often
quite watery. The use Of plenty
of vegetables and not too much
water avoids this fault. If the
soup in completion seems weak. it
may be improved by the addition
of a bouillon cube or two.

We CHANGED to overhear a discussion the other night
concerning Boys Clubs One of the persons insisted that
Greenbelt did not need branch of this organization
because do not have any delinquent boys We
tanly to hear this impression being spread
around town. Police Boys Clubs not for delinquent
boys do they attempt to punish provide them
State institutions perform that duty Police Boys Clubs are
formed to prevent delinquency and promote fellowship
and respect for law and order by the teaching of
and healthful sports and activities.
Greenbelt, founded community activities, is fer
tile field for such program We have the necessary
reaon equipment and personnel and the will to do but
have not the to allocate to such programs We
told that the not available We do take
with this statement but do believe that with little
cooperation from organizations time space
could be placed at the disposal of boys program Even
if this to true, would still be sadly lacking
larry facilities to provide everything that is
ke coming of the residents the stu
impossible.
p that sea is the building of
large enough to provide the space to
town. We do not know when or
Aplished but it should be an ever

nothing possesses reality nor exist

PALS SAVE NEWSBOY
FROM ICY GRAVE
CONTINUED from FIRST Paes1

"The other two boys heard me call
ing for help, but, were afraid to
come close to the hole because the
ice was so thin they might fall in,
They started running along the
bank looking for a long pole or
piece of rope when they found the
rowboat.
"They pushed the boat out over
the ice and while Leland pushed
from in back of the boat Bill broke
the ice in front with an oar.
Il was sure glad when they got
the boat to where was and pulled
me in." Ellis said.
In the meantime the rescue had
attracted the attention of a crowd,
including Mayor Edward C. Evans
and Captain of Police Wilson W.
Moore.
The latter two wrapped the boy
in a blanket and took him home,
where he was treated for exposure.
He was in the water for about 20
minutes.
Several other persons, mostly
children, fell through the thin coat
ing of ice during the same after
noon, but because of the shallow
ness of the water near the banks,
they were able to get to safety un-
assisted.
The police are planning to make
a careful daily survey of the lake
and post warning signs to mark the
danger spots.

The number of boys and girls
who broke through thin ice last
week afforded a very fine talk
ing point from the parental
point Of view and lessened the
juvenile discussion about skat-
ing. Perhaps before this
reaches the press stage the ice
win have been declared safe,
but it would be a good service
if some one could pass judgment
OF the proper time for this fine
sport. The meadows that adults
say they had during their child
hood, where there was little
depth to the water, sounds like
a Utopia. Certainly a place like
that would provide mental ease
and comfort to those whose pre-
rogative it is to sit home and
hope for the best. Children here
have too few opportunities to
indulge in skating, which
makes them all the more .anx-
ious to force the safe stage.
