Resident turnover
Reaches 32.5 Percent

The Family Selection Office un-
der the supervision of Mrs. Mary
Jane Kinzer, announces that there
has been 32.5 per cent turnover
of the population in cold" Green
belt during the year from Septem-
ber, 1941, to September, 1912. In
the past the turnover has been
approximately 20 per cent per
year.
Two hundred and four new fam
lilies have moved into the town
and eighty-four families transfer
red from one dwelling to another
due to a change in family status.
The turnover in apartments has
been much greater than in the
houses and the waiting list of two
member families, who are eligible
for apartments, is now compara
lively short. This is attributed to
the fact that in many of the two
member families applying for
apartments both the husband and
the wife are working, thus putting
them over the income level for en-
trance. Also, with the increase in
birth rate, there are fewer two
member families and more three
member families who require
houses rather than apartments.
The general increase in the rate
of turnover is attributed largely
to the fact that many men have
been taken into the armed service
and also as a result of the Federal
decentralization Dlan.
These figures are based on the
S85 original units in Greenbelt,
none of the defense homes being
included.

atience' Is Plea
Re-: StoUe Burners

"Patience" is the plea Of the
maintenance department in ans
wer to the query as to what should
be done about electric stove bur
ners which are rot working.
Harry Walls, head of the main
tenance department, says that
every attempt is being made to
secure new burners as soon as
possible. A priority rating has
been given for the burners but
more time will be needed before
they can be obtained.
Mr.. Walls suggests, meantime,
that when the Greenbelt house
wife experiences trouble with stove
burners she contact the mainten-
ance department. An electrician
will be sent to test the plate to
determine whether it must be re-
placed or whether repairs will put
it back into working condition. In
many instances the repair crew
can take burners from empty
houses or apartments and "keep
Cne jump ahead" of new tenants.

Varieties Will Be
Second Band Show;
October z Date Set

The Greenbelt Community Band
has scheduled the second of its
series of four uniform shows" for
October 2 at the Elementary
School auditorium. The new
show, "Varities", follows the ice
cream social and band concert held
September 6.
The varieties" is to be COM
posed of members of the band,
their parents and other young
people and adults of Greenbelt
who are interested in furthering
the cause of "THEIR" band. In
cluded in evenings program are
the Glee Club under the direction
of Mrs. Trucksess, John Walker
and his "Hill Billy Band, acor-
dian solos by Kay Thomas, a sur
prise barber shop" band, dancing
acts by local girls directed by Mrs.
Lillian Mitchell and Mrs. Doris
Anderson, and a comedy act by
DeJager and Sauls.
$50 Still Needed
Information first given to the
Cooperator indicated, as published
last week, that about $3.50 was
realized from the ice cream social.
This, however, was too good to be
true and it is now learned that
profit of $52 was made. This
leaves about $3.50 still to be raised
for the needed additional uniforms.
Tickets for the Varieties" are
to be made available at the price
of 81 cents plus cents Federal
tax and may be purchased from
any member of the band or the
parents board of the Band.
Hartford S. Downs, who an
nounced the coming show says,
Don't miss this opportunity to
help promote this already estab-
lished civic organization and at
the same time enjoy one of the
best evenings entertainments of
the season."
The band accepted an invi-
tation to play at the Bond Rally
at the Hyattsville Theater Thurs
day evening. The music makers
nave been very busy these last
weeks but, says Mr.. Downs, a
thing of this type is a must, Last
Sunday afternoon the band played
for the benefit of the patients at
Glendale Sanitorium.
