Dear Greenbelt:
All, Spring, beautiful spring!
The lovely spring flowers would
be peeping out to brighten our
lives, were it not for winters
ngover. Excited cries of
Ready" "Serve" would be heard
from down behind the school. if
some quick method of evaporating
eighteen inches of snow and dry
ing the tennis courts could be
found. Indian Springs would be
the locale of many Sunday picnics,
weiner roasts and hikes, if hip
boots were provided with the
leases. To make a long story
longer, it would be SPRING, if it
weren't for winter. By the way,
what does a spring exercise en-
thusiast use to relieve those aching
muscles when all the rubbing al
hol was used to make a pot of
coffee?
The Red Cross dance, planned
to help raise funds for the many
war measures. this national or
ganization will have to take, will
be held next Saturday, April II,
in the auditorium. In addition
to the dancing-which will be
enough to draw most of us-there
is going to be an exciting quiz
game at intermission, with a prize
for the winner. Participants will
be drawn at the same time as the
lucky door-prize winner. The
contest prize is being kept deep,
dark secret until the night of the
dance, but the door-prize will be
a delicious ham.
A little Greenbelt girl, expert
menting with a refuse can, saw
some pills that looked interesting,
so she ate them, probably think
ing they were a new form of
candy. Now, due to someone's
negligence, the child is under the
observation of doctors to see if
there are any i'll effects. This
time the result was not a sad
one, but think what it could have
been. Maybe we should be more
careful about the things we throw
away, seeing that they are so
wrapped that children won't en-
danger their lives experimenting.
A week ago last Sunday-March
22-the 'Red" Brittinghams were
hosts to the Ernest Hights for a
chicken dinner. | hear that one
OF the most tasty dishes served
was cake made by guest Ernest
Hight. l tasted it, and the chicken
would have to be going some to
be better. That's the kind of man
to marry, Josephine!
Say, Greenbelt is really giving
the army lot of good officer
material, from the evidence we
gather. The latest to be pro-
NOTED, also one of the towns
newest fathers, is Lyman Wood
man. Called not so long ago as
a Second Lieutenant, Lyman is
now First Lieutenant Woodman.
congratulations!
Mr.. Rysticken, who is as you
know the commander of local civ
llian defense activities, says that
by the time you read this a con-
tainer will be placed in the Drug
Store for collapsible tubes, razor
blades, etc.
Good news-the "High School
Chatter" column will in all prob
ability be resumed next week by
Miss Louise Burke, able editor of
the High School newspaper. Good
luck, Louise!
Lucky Mrs. NJ. Weinstein was
the recipient of two parties re-
Gently, one given by the Hebrew
Congrega ton, the other by Mrs.
Kathleen Taylor and Mrs. Dorothy
Terkeltaub, to bid the Weinstein
family farewell. Mildred, Sid, and
baby Helene all want to wish
Greenbelt bood-bye, and to ex-
press their thanks for the friendly
gestures.-Visiting Mr.. and Mrs.
N. Perlson of Greenbelt is Mrs.
Perlson's dad from Brooklyn, N.
Y, who is captain of the afraid
