GreenbeIt Children
Doing a Great Job
In Defense Effort
By KATHRYN M. WOOD

Greenbelt may well be proud of
its children's efforts in the recent
Mile of Dimes campaign against
infantile paralysis. The Elemen-
tary School collected over $25 in
drive led by the children of Mrs.
Genevieve Gerrits' room, the larg-
est contribution of any single or
ganization in Greenbelt as far as
we know.
The Victory Book Campaign was
also quite successful. This was in
charge of a group from Mrs. Sara
Walton's room. 112 books were
collected at the library according
to Mrs. Reba Harris, most of these
books having been brought in by
children of the school.
A note has been sent to each
child's home stating that the res
possibility of purchasing pupil
identification tags rests with the
family. A Washington firm has
offered to furnish tags engraved
with the child's name, address, and
phone number for twenty eight
and half cents per pupil provided
the order is placed in lots of 100
or more.
In the recent air raid tests it
has taken only five minutes from
the time the gong sounds to COM
pletely empty the school until the
time the apartment shelter doors
are closed. Notices have been sent
home stating the exact location
and supervision Of each child in
case of air raid. Parents are re-
quested to trust their children in
the hands of their teachers and
not to come to school after them
in case of actual raid.
At a party held yesterday the
patrol boys, the chair committee
and lunch committee boys were
treated to a first showing of a
movie from the Department of the
Interior entitled Tanning of the
Desert, showing the wild life
side of park development. The
rest of the school will see this
movie later. Mrs. Catherine T.
Reed, Mr.. Roy S. Braden, and the
members of the police who con-
tact the patrol boys were invited
to the party. Since the party was
planned for Abraham Lincoln's
birthday, patriotic decorations pre-
vailed with candle logs decorating
the table at which the guests were
served cookies and punch.

no reason to suppose that the or

Oh dear, Friday the 18th! See
any black cats today? land l
don't mean wolves.) Anyway re-
port cards came out last week SC
why worry about a measly black
cat?
One thing about G. II. S. is
that we have perfect girls bas-
ketball team, of which we are
very proud. Our girls licked Hy-
attsville last Friday night by
score of 1927, which is something
to be proud of.
The boys also played Hyatts-
vile, Friday, but lost by a score
of 1927, which isn't so bad.
Last Tuesday evening, Febru-
ary 3rd, the P. T. A. had "Par-
ent's Night" up at the school, in
which our parents came to school
and took over our schedule. The
classes" lasted about ten minutes
each, during which time the teach
ers explained what the students
were learning, (who could tell all
they've learned in half the time).
Each Friday from now On the
Physical Education group hopes
to have social dancing class. This
class, under the direction of Miss
Rose Nudo, gives those who want
to progress in their dancing a good
opportunity. Last Friday we had
our first dance and the pupils not
only found it enjoyable but very
refreshing for the last period on
the last day of the school week.
Four new clubs have been added
TO our list. They are boxing, hob
by, art and charm clubs. (How
bout that last one?) These new
clubs will commence Wednesday
and every pupil in the school is
now included in one or more
clubs.
Don't say I Told you, But
Ummm-what blonde sure makes
a hit at all the basketball games?
What's the score, Lorraine?-
Not only one, but three tacks were
placed on Mr.. Cooper's chair last
week in history class. That very
morning We were studying about
rapid oxidation, too.-What SEN
ior boy is "trying" to steal all
other senior boys girl right from
under his nose?-What's this we
hear about Ellen Gussio finding
q new romance in an old romance?
Sounds good, anyway.-Who
was the male genius that asked a
new sophomore if he could add
her to his list Of all the girls in
school that flirted with him? (of
all the conceited donkeys)-Inci-
dentaly, June, I'll let you bring
the --latest" to my party-what's
his name, "Snakebrains"?-What
would Bette Attick and Shirley
Manson do if Bob forgot to bring
ten packs of gum to school? what
would anybody do?)-
One of our latest additions to
the school, Lillian Lane, just
can't wait til Easter comes. Why,
Lillian?-We wonder if "A. A."
had good time down at the
Crossroads the other night with
-? By the time this paper ls
out, I know of a certain senior
who is going to be very "mad"
because his steady has temporar-
lily evacuated him.-Well, there's
no time like the present to be pre-
pared, so bye now.

Balancinghe Budget
By BERTHA MARYN
More on Soups

The secret of good soup, as has
already been said, is in the use
of a few basic ingredients gar
nished with a bit of Imagination.
A cup or two of vegetable liquor
(canned or fresh), a cup of milk,
two tablespoons of flour and
tablespoon of butter and you can
have a cream soup fit for king.
Never throw away any vege-
table liquid. 1t may be used alone,
mixed with other vegetable liqu-
ors and made into creamed soups
or it may be used to dilute a can
of condensed soup. Often a can
of soup can be swelled to serve
four or five by adding leftover
vegetable liquor. Potato water is
especially good for that.
Basic ingredients out of which
many variations of soup can be
concocted and which every kitchen
pantry should have on its shelves
are: dried split peas, yellow and
green; beans, lima, navy and
soya; rice and barley. A combina-
ton Of any or all of these, plus
carrot, an onion, meat bone Cleft
over when we used chuch) or, in
its absence a tablespoon of butter
will make soup that is tasty and
nourishing. The addition of any
left over vegetables and tomato
(fresh or canned, juice or sauce)
will greatly improve your soup.
A bit of soup left over from the
day before, or some meat stock,
barely enough to serve two, can
be stretched to serve four or five
by adding to it a mixture of
cooked dried peas, beans and rice.
The beans and peas must be cook
ed for at least two hours and the
left over soup added just before
serving.
Another soup that can be pre-.
pared quickly lin one-half hour)
is made as follows: cook two or
three tablespoonsful of rice, one
onion, one carrot, and a small on
ion in three cups Of water until
ingredients are soft, add one table
spoon of butter before serving.
And if some Blue Monday late
in the afternoon you get a call
from friend husband announcing
that he's bringing a fellow from
the Office for dinner" and you know
that the left over Sunday roast
just won't be enough and if there
are still two hours left before din
ncr. make a budget" split-peG
soup. Wash one cup Of split yellow
or green peas, cook in five cups Of
water. After soup comes to boil,
simmer on medium or low fire.
Cook for one hour, add seasoning,
one onion, one carrot, and
sprig of celery. Cook another houD
longer If possible. Add one or two
tablespoons of butter five minutes
before serving. The addition Of
the soup to the meal rounds out
and supplements what might have
been skimpy dinner.

II you buy. used car this year,
chances are that you will pay more
for less value than you would have
paid in 1941. And unless you're
careful, you may be stuck with
a car in poor condition which will
cost you plenty for repairs.
In the February issue of Gu
Reports, Consumers Union sug-
gests some general principles
winch will help you make a better
buy: 1. Stick to the simpler
models-sixes instead of eights,
for instance. 2. Buy a late model
of low-priced car rather than
an earlier model of a more ex-
pensive car which may be offered
at the same price. 3. Take your
time in buying. If possible, patron
ize a neighborhood dealer who
has some reputation to maintain.
And, if possible, take along
mechanic you can trust, to help
you make the driving and inspect
tests which indicate the cars con-
dition.
A copy of the February issue
of Gu Reports, with pictures and
explanations of 20 tests to make
when buying used car, is avail
able for 25c from Consumers
Union, II Union Square, New
York City.
Three-in-One is Not the Only
Household Oil
Household oil is an important
product in keeping your appliances
running. To many American fam
lilies, household oil means Three
In-One. Yet, in tests of % brands
Consumers Union has found
Three-In-One not only over-priced,
but way down at the bottom of
the list in quality.
Best Buys of the 22 brands
tested were: Light Oils, Gulfoil
90 cents); Sinclair 15 cents).
Heavy Oils. Gulf Electric Motor
Oil (10 cents). For families using
very large amounts of household
oil, an ever better buy would be
to use four parts of any good
quality sac low motor oil to one
part of kerosene. 1t is satisfactory
for most household purposes and
costs about one-third as much as
the cheapest household oil.
Let Them Eat Bread
With it's new column on "Food
for Your Family" Gu will help
its readers follow the Food Guide
for America worked out at the
National Nutrition Conference.
Menus and recipes based on the
Food Guide are presented in each

Don't mourn because your sugar
is cut down, counsels Frances
Wills, the columns editor. Most
of us have been eating too much
sugar anyway. The amount which
is to be rationed will be plenty for
a healthful diet. It's true that
sugar is an energy food. But we
can also get energy-plus vita
minis, minerals and other impor-
tant food elements-from milk,
eggs, and even bread. Desserts
can be made without sugar, sub
stituting the sweetness of dried
fruits, honey and molasses.
