Do You Know Your
Way Around Town?

Plateau Place? Laurel Hill
Road? Yes, and Research Road,
too, they're all in Greenbelt now
and even well-known Ridge Road
has been extended so far that the
last house is now numbered 73-T.
If you have been hearing and
reading about the new additions to
Greenbelt and haven't any idea
where these thousand new homes
are located, get out this weekend
and stretch your legs up toward
the northern end of the town and
you'll see how far the town has
expanded during the past year. A
map of Greenbelt shows the origi-
nal crescent" shape has been pro-
longed so that the northern end
of town is considerably longer than
that section which extends beyond
Westway.
From the air the town now looks
more like a weird figure "3" with
horns on it. Ridge Road extends
on north of it's original dead-end
and then curves west towards the
water tower on Hurley Hill. Hill
side Road also runs beyond North
way and then curves west. Plateau
Place extends east from Ridge
Road. Laurel Hill Road runs
north from Hillside Road, crosses
Ridge Road and continues north.
Research Road also connects Hill
side Road with Ridge Road, but
west of Laurel Hill Road.
Ridge Road is almost completely
filled as far as number SO, Plateau
Place is now being filled rapidly,
but the houses on Laurel Hill Road
and Research Road have not yet
been assigned.

Idle Coal Miners Face
Loss Of Deferred Draft
Status, Hershey Says
New Regulation Follows
Operators Complaints
Of Absences From Work ;
BY the Associated Press.

Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, Sc
lective Service director, said today
coal miners and other workers de-
ferred from military service be-
cause of their occupations, but who
take frequent days of for unex-
planned reasons will risk being
drafted in the future.
Spokesmen for the coal industry
in particular have made urgent ap-
peals to workers to stop voluntary
absenteeism which has made seri-
GUS inroads into production.
Gen. Hershey told reporters in
response to questions that new
regulation would apply to the coal
miners, though it was not prompted
solely by the recent pleas of that
industry. .-.
The regulation provides that when
deferred registrant or group of
registrants "is not supporting, or is
adversely affecting the war effort
or the national health, safety or
interest,"" the offender or offenders
may be called up for reclassif1cation
by local draft boards.
Gen. Hershey said the order re-
f1ected a fundamental principle Of
selective service that deferment is
granted because the registrant is
more vital in his occupation than in
the armed forces. When he ceases
to perform such vital work he no
longer should be deferred, the selec-
tive service chief asserted.
eff the Labor Management Com
mittee, which is going to take re-
sponsibility for production, finds a
worker contributing to absenteeism
it is justified in saying Let's wash
him out"
Copper miners recently were in
formed they lost their deferred
status when they left the copper
mines, Gen. Hershey recalled.
I'm their case they were given
coat of deferment-a copper coat,
If you will-which they laid aside
when they went elsewhere think
idleness and absenteeism could be
regarded in the same light"
