School News
And HiehIiehts
By KATHRYN M. WOOD

The enrolment of Greenbelt
Elementary School has increased
sufficiently to permit taking on a
new teacher, but there has been
no permanent appointment as
yet, according to Mrs. Mildred
Parker, acting principal.
This years curriculum has it's
basis in the social studies program.
Beginning with the primary
classes group one and group two
are studying foods, with stove
as the main project. These chill,
dren are learning by studying food
handling as they observe it in &C
tive daily use in their own homes.
In school they are discussing the
principles, of buying, selling and
preservation of food. Group
three is taking up the subject OF
housing and group four is work
ing on technology in the sense Of
acquiring new manual skills and
how it has influenced the develop
ment Of cities through new inven-
tions, manufacturing processes,
and improvement of transporta-
ton. Some very significant art
work is emerging from this study.
The next meeting of Greenbelt's
Parent Teacher Association will be
held Monday, January 26, at 8
p.m., in the auditorium. All par
ents are urged to be present, es-
pecially those newly arrived in
Greenbelt. A movie will be shown
at this meeting demonstrating the
place of visual education in the
modern school system.
The meeting will include the
timely discussion of how and
what to tell small children in re-
gard to imminent war hazards
and how parents can aid their
children by remaining calm.
Please try to attend this meet
ing.

Price Rise DEGREES
Longer Hair Styles

Action by the board of directors
of Greenbelt Consumer Services
last week authorized a 10-cent in
crease in the price of haircuts for
adults. This increase to SO cents
is to go into effect on February 1,
according to the management. The
price of children's haircuts will re-
main at 25 cents for the present,
it was reported.
The cooperative is experiencing
considerable difficulty finding bar
bers to work here. 1t was thought
that this small increase would
provide more incentive for good
BARRIERS to accent employment in
Greenbelt in spite of committing
problems.
One of the full-time BARRIERS re-
Gently accepted employment else
where and returns to Greenbelt in
the evenings to help during the
rush period. Another barber was
off for a week during the same
period, thus throwing the load al
most entirely upon one barber.
1t has been report that many
barber shops in Washington have
Increased prices. Haircuts were
raised from so to 60 cents and
shaves were advanced to 35 cents
instead of the usual quarter.

Greenbelt's potential strlnged
orchestra under the direction Of
Henri Sokolov now has approx
mately 18 members, including be-

composed solely of violins, is di-
vided into two separate classes.
Beginners meet at 1880 pm, ad-
vanced students at $3.50. An au-

Timely Facts for Consumers
Intelligent Consumption Makes for Better,
Happier Living.
Happier Living.

GASOLINE
The Consumer Division of the
Office of Price Administration
last week branded as exaggerated
and misleading the recently cir.
culated contention that reduction
of the octane rating of regular
gasoline from rs to 70 would re-
duce gasoline mileage by as much
as 10 per cent.
Engineering consultants of the
division termed particularly alb
surd the statements that such an
octane reduction would for the
country as a whole increase gaso-
line consumption by per cent.
Wasteful Practice
The estimates of the industry
that reduction of regular gaso-
line from rs to 10 would cost
$25O,000,000, should be turned
around, engineers of the Con-
sumer Division report. Motorists
are now wasting millions of dol
lars every year in burning high
er-grade gasolines than are re-
quired by their cars.
They point out that octane rat
ings for most regular gasolines
were increased from 10 to rs with
in only the last 3 years. Only a
few of the latest models require a
gasoline with an octane rating as
high as 75.
In a very few cases a simple
and inexpensive change in igni-
tion timing would be required tc
eliminate Objectionable knocking
on octane 70 fuel. If this ad-
justment is correctly made, the
resulting loss of power and econ
omy would be too small to be de-
tected by the drivers of these cars.
Most cars will operate as eff

WHY MISS ELLIOTT QUIT

Real reason for the resignation
of Miss Harriet Elliott as Consul
mer representative of the defense
administration right when consul
mers need a champion the worst
was not, as officially explained,
the desire to return to her job at
the Univ. of North Carolina, but
because her office had no legal
power to protect the consumers
and lacked funds to do the job she
was supposed to do.
Powerful business interests, of
course, have constantly sniped at
her efforts to protect the consum-
ers. AS an example, the so-called
Consumers Information Service.
sponsored by "The Good House
keeping Club Service" gave a big
play to the unfounded Dies
charges that consumer officials
were Communists and grossly IN
sinuated that the Consumer Cen
ters now being set up were to be
breeding grounds of communism.
Miss Elliott previously charged
that these consumer defense COM
mittees were being dominated by
retail merchants of the various
communities and urged actual
consumers to participate in their
formation.

rating as they do on higher fuels.
Many late model cars can oper-
ate without undesirable knocking
On gasolines with an octane rat
ing as low as 65.
Third-grade gasolines with an
octane rating as low as go are
quite satisfactory for older cars,
and for several of the latest
models.
Gasoline with an octane rating
higher than needed by the car
will not give added power or i'm
prove car performance in any re-
spect, engineers state.
Needed for Army
Our tanks and military planes
will require large quantities Of
gasoline with high octane ratings.
This means that there will be a
heavy war demand for high-grade
gasoline and the tetraethyl lead
used to increase octane, or anti
knock quality, in gasoline.
In addition two materials, chlo-
rine and lead, used in the manu-
facture of tetraethyl lead are
scarce, being in wide demand for
essential military and other de-
fense uses.
Motorists may help relieve the
pressure on tetraethyl supplies by
avoiding the use of gasoline with
octane ratings higher than neces-
sary, the Consumer Division
points out.
A slight amount of "pinging"
on rapid acceleration or under
heavy loads on hills is not harm
full to a car, division engineers
comment. In fact, auto mechan-
les often listen for a slight ping
ing to indicate that the spark is
adjusted to give maximum gas
mileage.

RULES TO MAKE
TIRES LAST
Inauguratine

Inaugurating Nationwide
rubber conservation campaign, the
Office of Production Management
called upon the country's 27 mil
lion car owners to observe 10 rules
to make tires last longer.
/. Have worn tires retreaded.
Cocst of retreading tires is usually
about half that of a new tire, and
will give you about 80 per cent
as much wear.
2. Cut out high speeds-Your
tires will last twice as long at 40
miles per hour as at 60 miles per
hour.
3. Initiate tires weekly to rec
commended levels-Never let pres
sure fall more than 3 pounds O.
low recommended minimums.
a. Don't stop short or make jack
rabbit starts-Every time you ig-
more this rule you burn up the
tread.
S. Avoid striking curbs, road
holes, rocks. etc.-This can result
in broken cords or blowouts. Drive
slowly and carefully over paved
roads.
6. Check wheel alignment twice
year - Misalignment causes
scuffng and uneven wear. A tire
a half inch out of line will be
dragged sidewise 81 feet every
mile.
7. Repair all cuts, leaks, breaks
promptly-Delay may cause dam
age that can't be repaired. Breaks
and cuts should be vulcanized
whenever possible; blowout
patches should only be temporary.
8. Change wheel positions
every 5000 miles.
9. Always get the tire made
to fit the rim of your car.
10. Don't speed around curves.

join me in wishing them the best
of luck.
Greenbelt was visited by some
very distinguished persons recent

B. MARYN

Last week this column carried
a list of low and medium cuts of
beef and their uses as outlined by
the Consumers Guide of the De-
partmemnt of Agriculture. Lamb
and veal also have low and me-
dium cost cuts which consumers
can use to advantage. AS in the
case of beef, FOOD VALUE is
not sacrificed when these cheaper
cuts are used.
VEAL
Heel-Fricassee, pot roast, ground
meat
Neck-Fricassee, stew
Breast-Fricassee, stew, stuffed
roast
Fore Shank-Soup, Fricassee,
ground meat
Medium-Cost Cuts:
Shank-Soup, fricassee, ground
meat
Rump-Pot Roast
Rack-Braised chips, roast
Chuck-Pot roast, fricassee, stew
LAMB
Low-Cost Cuts: Use
Neck-Stew, soup
Shank-Stew, ground meat
Breast-Stew, stuffed roast
Flank-Stew, ground-meat
Medium-Cost Cuts:
Leg-Roast
Square chuck-Roast, stew, chops
Other edible, low cost, nourish-
ing parts of both veal and lamb
are. Heart, kidney, liver, tongue,
brains and sweetbreads, which can
be turned into tasty, wholesome
dishes.
Another important item for
Consumer to remember in shop
ping for meat, is that there are
GRADES of meat. Beef grading
in the United States is voluntary
and is done at the packing plant
by government graders at the re-
quest and expense of the packing
house. The expense involved is
approximately 5 or 6 cents car
cass so that graded meat should
not cost more than ungraded. Meat
is graded into these classes: Prime,
choice, good, commercial and utl-
ity.
HOW is MEAT GRADED?
The type of cattle, the amount
of fat, (Which is called marbling)
that is intermingled throughout
the lean, the texture, grain and
color are some of the factors which
determine the grade of meat.
Grades of meat like cuts should
be bought according to the purse
and use. If you can splurge and it
is chops or steak-prime, choice
or good are the grades to buy. For
stews, pot roasts, boiling, ground
beef and wherever economy is
necessary buy commercial and
utility grades.
In summarizing the problem of
choosing and buying meat it is
we'll to remember the following:
1. In using low cost cuts you
don't sacrifice food value.
2. inexpensive cuts can be
made tender and tasty if you learn
the right cooking rules and then
have the culinary patience to
stick to them.
3. Cook meat according to cut.
Buy the cut you can afford and
cook it accordingly. Remember the
tenderness of the meat determines
how it should be cooked and ten
derness depends on grade and cut.
q. Roasting in too hot an oven
will cook your meat faster but the
number of servings are reduced
because of unnecessary shrinkage.
Longer cooking in a lower tenn
perature will give you better
tasting meat and more of it.
5. Use long, slow cooking with
liquid added for stews, swiss steak,
pot roast, fricassee, etc.
6. Don't waste any part of the
meat. Use bone for soups; render
the fat and use for frying, pastry,

Increase in American
Tobacco Dividends
Favored by Hill
President to Propose
81 Rote for Common
And B Shores
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 26-George W.:
Hill, president Of American Tobacco
Co, today told stockholders he would
recommend an increase in the divi-
dend on the common and common
b" stocks to 81 a share for the first
quarter of 1912 from rs cents paid
in the last quarter of 194l. A divi-
dend meeting will be held jan
uary %.
Despite a 25-cent boost in the
dividend, the rate would still be be-
low the $125 share the company
paid quarterly on the common stocks
from 1888 to 1941.
Hill said earnings for 1941 would
be slightly above an estimate con-
tanned in a letter to stockholders on
October Is. when he notified them
he would recommend to directors the
reduction in the dividend to rs cents
from SIPS.
At that time Hill calculated earn
ings at about s23 1858 900, or about
$453 a common share, against $28,-
49S051, or $3.50 a share, in 1910,
In his latest letter, Hill stated:
"Our business volume continues
strong. Costs and taxes are stead
lily rising. and both items must be
met before funds are available for
dividends.
you will. of course. understand
that the rate of common dividends
will be dependent upon earnings, and
with the uncertainties that con-
front us no prophecies can be in
dulged in"
The tobacco company announced
a boost in price on its leading ciga-
rette brand on December 26 to S7.lO
a thousand from 1858 but the in
crease later was rescinded by order
of the Office of Price Adminlstra-
ton.
