Legal Tangle Responsible

FWA has remitted no funds at all
for the upkeep of the new homes,
which were built by that agency.
According to an agreement made
December 81, of last year, FWh
was to remit 479o of the town
budget, and FSA to remit 53%o.
FSA has remitted theirs, he add
ed, but delay of FWA funds has
been caused by legal technicalities.
Only 152 homes had been complet-
ed last December, but funds are
now needed for 296, and will short
ly be needed for the entire 1000.
Asked whether or not profits from
the swimming pool could be used
for town use, the answer was in
the negative. All profits gained by
the recreation department are
turned in to FSA as additional
rent, according to Mr.. Morrison.
The only course open to the local
administration, said the mayor,
has been taken. Refusal of SER
vice to those defense homes not
already occupied has been made
oy Town Manager Roy S. Bradcn.
Stamp Sale Planned
A. plan was offered to facilitate
the sale of stamps during the
month of June in order to bring
the total for the fiscal year to the
l.ecessary sum of $11 900 for home
delivery. Almost $1,000 is still
needed in order to raise the de-
sired amount. The suggestion tend
cred by Mr.. Chasanow provides
for door-to-door canvass by local
Boy Scouts. An original sum of
$25 would be set up by the G.C.A-
to buy stamps, which in turn
would be resold to Greenbelt res
idents, the receipts from such sales
to be spent for more stamps, and
the process to be repeated until
tn $1,000 goal had been reached.
1t was stressed that it is neces-
sary to buy this amount in June,
as July l, will be the last oppor-
tunity to receive home mail deliv-
cry until July /, 1943. Complaints
were made that many residents
who reach Greenbelt after 6 p.
m.-when the post office closes
are forced to buy stamps and send
money orders through Washing
ton channels.
Rysticken Clarifies Situation
Leading the discussion of the
transportation problem, and es-
pecially the hearing of May 20,
was Arthur L. Rysticken, who
represented Greenbelt before the
Public Utilities Commission. Say
ing he believed Greenbelt stood a
better chance of keeping the pre-
sent transit system now, after the
60 day adjournment. than before,
ne explained that now it is known
what the Capital Transit proproi-
tion will be and an can be made
to secure evidence proving its i'm
practicability. In answer to a
question concerning the feasibility
of an express service, Mr.. Ry-
sticken said that inasmuch as such
a system is always unsuccessful
financially, it was doubted that
Capital Transit could be reqested
to furnish Greenbelt with an ex-
press bus. However, he added, it
might be possible, if the present
system is retained, to have the
first three stops from Mt. Rainier
to Greenbelt eliminated, thus re-
ducting substantially the crowded
conditions now prevailing. After
extensive discussion on the express
possibilities, it was pointed out
that recent governmental order

EDITORIAL
On Courtesy

Do we see very much courtesy
being practiced in Libby High The
Home Economics classes have now
started a campaign for more cour-
tesv. Answers to our questions may
vary from. We have as much as
anyone wants: AS much as in other
schools: Too much is old fash
ioned.' to mo, we have very lit
tle!n All these answers have their
reasons,
For instance. there's the boy who
shoves his way through the crowd
There are girls who wear bandanas
and Stacks to school, which does
not command the courtesy OF more
appropriate dress.
Then comes the idea that cour-
tesy is old fashioned Perhaps some
odd rules would be. but. after all,
most of our customs, ideas, and IN
ventions come from our ancestors.
Are they old-fashioned2 So, rather
than marching down the isle wear
ing hat. even though 1t IS new
and very becoming, boys, lets re-
member that courtesy rules aren
too old fashioned yet
Last of all there's the answer
that compares our school with 9th.
or schools. dropping the question
further with satisfaction. II We
are inclined to do that. then let u:
compare our basketball team witt
another. We don't simply say tina
it is as good as that of most school!
