Where mice or chipmunks are
present at summer houses it is
desirable to have a tin-lined closet
in which to store bedding and
linen. All food which would at
tract mice or insects should be re-
moved or placed in tight metal or

ETY. history of sport cost the largest
amount of money?
There have been more than few
such slips, many of them normal
mishaps, that ran the bill from $780,
600 to $500,000 That's fair chunk
of loose change for one skidding act.
This argument came up in the
wake of Billy Conn's misguided left
hook which happened to land on his
pa-in-'aw's head in place of his pa
in-Iaw's chin. nose or abdomen.
Conn, one of the sharpest of the
snipers-labelled another Jim Cor
bett by Bill Brady-cost himself,
Joe Louis, Mike Jacobs and the
Army Relief fund from $500, 900 to
100000 by being off the beam many
inches. This certainly ranks around
the top of all-time financial upheav-
ais in the wake of erring judgment
or erring physical skill.

4 FetU Others

There was the time Fred Snod-
grass of the New York Giants
dropped a fly ball in Boston in the
Ped Sox-Giant World Series of 1912
with Christy Mathewson pitching.
This happened in the stretch of the
eighth game and it cost the Giants
around 500. 600 in the money split.
This mishap came from complete
overconfdence on an easy fly de-
scending into Fred's waiting hands.
There was the time when jockey
Johnny Pollard, riding Seabiscuit in
the Biscuits first Santa Anita Handi-
cap, failed to hear the $10O, 900 thun-
der of Rosemont's approaching hoof-
beats. If he had, Whirlaway wouldn't
be even close today for the Bis
cults all-time cleanup.
There was the Hugh Casey-Mickey
Owen twister in the Yankees-Dodg-
ers battle last fall that lifted over
100000 from the two ball clubs
and sent it back to the ticket hold
ers in the wiped out sixth contest.
Casey had more stuff on the ball
than Owen could handle. He had
more than 100000 worth of stuff.
So you can't blame Owen.

County Group Takes
Medical Precautions

DR.. Byers, chairman of Prince
Georges Medical Service Commit
tee, reported Monday afternoon
to the Public Health Lay Council
the plans of his committee for
taking care of the public safety
and welfare in case of enemy at
tacks. He said the committee were
taking notes of the lessons learn
ed from Pearl Harbor, among
which were the value of having
medical supplies ready in different
places, a large store of bandages
prepared, a we'll stocked blood
bank, and many civilians trained
in first aid. Every town, he said,
is helping to equip its own first
aid post. These are being located
in school buildings, halls, churches,
and fire-houses.
Ten casualty stations will offer
emergency hospital facilities in
different parts of the county. Cit
liens are listing equipment which
they will donate in emergencies,
cots, mattresses, bedding, station
wagons, cars, etc. High school
manual training classes are MAX
ing stretchers. The $4,000 given to
the committee by the County Com
misioners will be used for medical
and surgical supplies and equip
ment which will be packed in car
tons ready to load onto trucks
and rushed where needed. Blood
donors are needed, also volunteers
for making bandages and survey
ing communities for equipment.
Toxoid Treatment Compulsory
Miss Frances Buck, supervisor
of nursing for the County Health
Department, reported that regula-
tions have been passed by the
State Health Department and sign
ed by the County Commissioners
which require all children to have
the toxoid treatments before
entering school. From now on the
school children will be protected
from diphtheria as well as small
pox. A child welfare clinic, which
may be extended to include preg-
nant mothers, is being developed
in the Aquasco district. Miss
Alexander, director of the Social
Service League, is setting up a
committee in the Marlboro district
where clothing of all kinds will be
received, renovated, and passed on
to needy families. 1t is hoped that
loan closet may also be included
in this unit.

G.C.S. Board to Seek
Members Approval
OF Withdrawal Limit

The board of directors of Green
belt Consumer Services has acted
to clarity the policy of limiting
share withdrawals for which it
will seek membership approval
next month. The word account"
as used in the proposal has been
clearly defined.
In the meeting notice and in
formation recently mailed to all
members of the cooperative it was
stated that approval would tie
sought for the following general
policy: Requiring minimum
share holding of $50 per account
below which cash may not be with
drawn except in those cases where
the member moves from Green
belt"
At its meeting last week the
board considered the questions
that might arise as a result of the
word account" and approved the
following Qualification: 'For the
purposes Of this policy the holding
of husband, wife and minor chill
dren shall be considered as repre-
senting one account"
1t was stated that the reason
for adopting this policy is to sta
bilize the share capital and to pro-
vide the potential capital neces-
sary to operate the stores.
A number of share Withdrawals
have been made recently by MEM
bers who wished to use the money
to pay for such things as Ch
mas expense. This reduction of
share capital is injurious to the
cooperative, it was stated.

Gay Blades Cavort
As Lake Freezes

Cold weather does bring some
comfort, at least, to those resi-
dents and their friends who like
ice skating. Approximately 1000
people were present at the lake
last Sunday to participate in the
bone-breaking or otherwise health
full sport of skating on frozen
water, The police force had been
on duty all day long and torch
flares were lit toward evening for
the convenience of the skaters.
The ice held and there were nc
accidents worth reporting even
though some folks still cannot sit
down without groaning. Johnny
Bolton was in charge at the lake
and had everything ready: first
aid equipment, a nice blazing fire
to warm cold feet, hands, etc. All
friends and residents are well
coined to join the fun this coming
Sunday, if there is no sudden shift
from the vernon equinox into the
summer solstice.

Fate Of Hospital
To Be Decided
In QUESTIONABLE

After three hours of heated
controversy the Town Council
voted Monday night to send the
people of Greenbelt a question
naire on whether or not the Green
cit Hospital should be kept open
by direct taxation if further ne
gotiations with the Farm Security
Administration fail.
The Council explained that they
were still making attempts to ne
gotiate with the Farm Security
Administration, which also acts
as the contact agency between the
Town Council and the Federal
Works Agency even though they
had been notified that the hos
pital budget had not been ap-
proved. Editors note: The
Council had not been notified up
to meeting time as to the official
decision on the rest of the budget.)
Fund Transfer Out
It was explained that through
legal technicalities it is practically
impossible to transfer funds al
located to other departments TO
the nOSpILal.
Sherrod East, DIR. Joseph Sill
agy, Mrs. Helen Long, Ed Wal
ther, and several others asked
xhat the hospital be kept open
even il direct taxation is found to
be necessary. They pointed out
that the hospital is necessary for
the health and welfare of the peo-
pie of Greenbelt, because of the
distance to Washington hospitals
N time of an emergency, and the
fact that Washington hospitals
are already overcrowded. They
further stated that the hospital
is an integral part of the local
defense setup, and that no public
hospital of its size can be ex-
pected to be completely self-sus-
tanning.
Several opposed to the taxation
method of obtaining funds argued
that while the tax approximately
$l2 year, seems nominal on the
surface it would work a hardship
on many of the families in Green
belt especially with the rising liv-
ing costs. 1t was brought up that
the local hospital had only been
filled to 35 per cent of it's capac-
ity in 1941 and that if a 1O-bed
hospital is not expected to pay for
itself the tax would set a danger
GUS precedent.
Prior to the discussion on the
hospital problem the reports for
the month of December of the
local departments were presented
to the council.

Civil Air Patrol Asks
For Local Volunteers

Fritz Schrom, of nearby
Schrom's Airport, has been ap-
pointed squadron commander at
his field by the Civil Air Patrol,
an organization formed to relieve
military ships of duties that civil
ian fiiers might perform. Arthur
Hyde was appointed wing con-
mander, with authority covering
the entire State of Maryland.
The Civil Air Patrol, volun-
teer organization, offers the op-
portunity for patriotic service to
any one interested in aeronautics.
Help is needed in every branch OF
the patrol, including adminlstra-
tion, intelligence, personnel, clei-
ical and others, none of which re-
quire a pilots license. For linn
tied flight duty, volunteers with
student licenses are needed. Also
needed, for solo flying, are pilots
with private licenses. Seven in
structors-enough for the local
field-have already been secured
by Mr.. Schrom. Volunteers may
contact Squadron Commander
Schrom at the airport.

Taint Legal" g.
Council Replies
To Salary Protest

In response to a resolution re-
questing the advisability of an
ordinance to repeal an ordinance
in regards to an increase in salary
to councilmen as passed by the
previous council, the Town Coun-
Gil made public Monday night a
letter received from Ralph W.
Powers, the town solicitor. The
letter states that section 4 of the
charter provides:
No ordinance fixing or chang
ing the salary of councilmen shall
become effective during the current
term of Office of councilmen en-
acting such ordinance"
The letter further states, "It
is sound principle of law that
what is prohibited from being
done directly by legislation is, also,
prohibited from being done indl-
1ectly."
In other words even though
the present council passes a reso-
luton to repeal the ordinance
raising the salary of councilmen
it would not take effect during
their term nor is there any legal
way that the money can be re-
turned to the town funds.

School Lacks Space
For New EnrOllmentS

Lacking space, teachers, and
furnishings, the Elementary
School is unable at present to ac-
commodate more than small per
centage of the expected enroll
ment from the new defense homes.
Until one of the three obstacles
--furnishings-was eliminated in
part by Nicholas Orem, superin-
tendent of schools for Prince
Georges County, only 25 new chill
dren had been accepted. Mr.. Orem
has offered to furnish desks to the
Elementary School from county
stock. When furniture previously
ordered is received by the Ele--
mentary School it will be turned
over to Mr.. Orem for use in the
county.
According to Mr.. Rysticken
there will be school facilities for
the remainder of the first 152
residents who are expected next
month.

$1,000 Goal OF Defense Rally
To Be Held February IL

The groundwork for a Civilian
Defense Rally, to be held Febru-
airy IA, was laid Wednesday
evening at q meeting of the De-
fense Rally committee, whose goal
is $1,000, the amount that it has
been estimated will be needed to
defend Greenbelt in war emer-
gencies.
On the bill of entertainment will
be a concert by the Greenbelt
Community Band, under the direc-
tion of S. Hartford Downs; a dis
cussion, "The Orient" by Pro-
fessor w. A. Scharffenberg, for
merly Director of the Institute of
Oriental Studies in Shanghai,
whose volunteer services were
secured by the Women's Club; a
dance, under the auspices of the
Citizens Association; and a pop
ularity contest, the winner to be
named "Miss Civilian Defense"
Nominees for the title, to be select
ed by local organizations, will be
elected on the number of ballots
purchased in their names.
A Finance Committee, to con-
troll funds until the date of the
Rally, at which time they will be
turned over to the Defense Coun-
cil's Finance Committee, was ap-
pointed. Chairman of the Rally
Finance Committee, David r.
Stein1e, of the Credit Union, will
have as assistants Mrs. William
Rogers, of the Women's Club, and
Guy Moore.
Each family, with the purchase
of a 81 ticket, which admits a
couple, may also purchase a 10
cent ticket for each child. Children
will not be admitted unless ac-
companied by adults, or unless
they have adult tickets.
ALLEGATION of duties was deter
mined, with the Athletic Club in
charge of the Popularity Contest;
the Legion Auxiliary, the Boy and
Girl Scouts, and the Gun Club in
charge of decorations; the Coop
orator" handling publicity; Boy
and Girl Scouts (eight of each) to
act as ushers; the Mormon Church
to be asked to control the check
room; the Home Makers Club and
the Mothers Club, under the super
vision of Robert Howie, Elemen-
tary School Engineer, to take
charge of the concession, and the
Auxiliary Police to act as guards
and maintain order. The American
Legion volunteered their services
to take charge of Rally tickets.
The total needs of the Defense
Council have not as yet been fully
determined. However, DR.. Joseph
Silagy was quoted as saying that
five first-aid stations, the minimum
required for Greenbelt's safety,
approximately 5000 would be
needed to equip them with medical
supplies. 1t was also mentioned
that the afraid wardens, spoilers,
and auxiliaries are in need of pro-
lection against cold weather, as
well as arm bands or other iden-
tification. Another vital need, ac-
cording to Mrs. Rogers, is a can
teen. She pointed out that, even
if no casualties are suffered from
bombings, if Greenbelt's power
were eliminated, some source OF
heat for food would be necessary.
Her suggestion as to the location
of a canteen was the basement of
