Legion Collects
600 Old Records

To carry on the collection of
phonograph records for our armed
forces, already so successfully IN
augurated, the local American Le-
gion post is making a house-to-
house canvass this week and next
for more old records to add to the
600 turned in last Sunday at the
special program held in the Ele-
mentary School These records
will be traded for new ones which
will be distributed to the fighting
men through the United Service
Organizations.
A concert by the local band fea-
tured the program Sunday. Short
speeches were made by Comdr.
Virgil Estes, DR.. James w. Nc
Carl, and Roy S. Braden, who were
introduced by Chairman Roy Bell.
The program closed with the play
ing of the National Anthem, and
the retiring Of the colors by the
Legion officers.

Theatre Opens Bond
Drive September l
With Ceremony

Inaugurating a drive to sell
more War bonds and stamps, the
Greenbelt Theater will hold a short
program before the 9 o'clock fea-
ture on Tuesday. September l.
Highlighting the affair will be
short speech by Town Manager
Roy S. Braden and colorful cere-
mony in which local members Of
the armed forces will participate.
The drive has been organized on
a national scale with $4,000 the
aters across the country serving as
collection stations. 1t is expected
that by the end of September one
billion dollars will have been con-
tributed at these theaters.
Jack Fruchtman, manager of
the Greenbelt Theater, is sure tina,
patrons will respond as enthusi-
astically as they have to past
drives. He feels that pledging 10
per cent is not enough, since we
are all still spending some money
on pleasures and can afford to par
ticipate in such a necessary cause.
Mr.. Fruchtman adds that patriotic
citizens can help further by volun-
teering to sell the bonds and
stamps in the theater lobby. He
would like to have some one on
duty whenever the theater is open.

FWA Says S587,O00
Ready for Hospital

Construction of a hospital in
Prince Georges County became a
certainty Tuesday when the coun-
ty board Of commissioners
received formal notification of
the Federal Governments willing
ness to make available the neces-
sary funds. However, there are
no indications that the hospital
may be constructed in Greenbelt.
In letter to the board, Henry
j. Sullivan, assistant regional di-
rector of the Federal Works
Agency, said that he was pre-
pared to recommend the appro-
priation of $587, 900 for the con-
struction of 100-bed hospital
and a 15-bed-nurses' home, both
to be built by the FWA and
leased to the county for operation
by the county.
Mr.. Sullivan stated that the
building was to be of brick with
concrete floors in the basement
and over the wings and with COM
position-covered wood floors over
the basement.
The commissioners have already
accepted the recommendation of
a special committee named to
select a site for the proposed hos
pital and have taken an option
of a 20-acre tract adjoining the
Prince Georges Golf and Country
Club at Landover.

yet, appointed anyone 10 HI
the vacancy of chief of the Auxil-
iary Firemen. Commander Ry-
sticken reports that he expects to
make this appointment some time
next week. Other appointments
placing responsible men and
women in charge of the Defense
Corps units here in Greenbelt are
expected in the near future.
Defense Registration
Mrs. Helen Rogers reports that
almost two-thirds of the town has
been canvassed for defense reg
istration. People who are inter
ested in signing up for local de-
fense duties are requested to hand
in their application forms as soon
as possible. Indicate on the form
the type of defense work you
would like to do in addition to
filling out the routine questions
on the form.
"But Names Will Not Hurt Them"
Other towns may call them
"block wardens" or welfare
wardens" but in Plaquemine, La,
they are plain "blockheads"! And
it is an honored title. The
Women's Division of the Defense
Council has appointed a woman
in each block to take complete
responsibility for defense activ-
tiles in her block-therefore the
"blockheads".
A token of thanks and appre-
citation must go to the residents
of the Defense homes for their
participation in Defense Corps
work here in Greenbelt. Many of
the residents are enlisted military
personnel but this fact hasn't dis
couraged them from enlisting
their aid wherever and whenever
necessary to complete important
civilian defense posts here in town.
Blood Bank
Mrs. Virginia Harris reports
that she is still taking in at least
one carload of residents each week
to the Washington Blood Bank.
People who are interested in
donating to this worthy cause are
requested to make appointments
and not to break them at the
last possible moment. This causes
embarrassment to Mrs. Harris who
has to explain to the Red Cross
and to the Hyattsville Motor Corps
that she cannot fill the expected
number of cars requested. People
who are ready to go in for their
second trip do not have to wait
until they are contacted. Call Mrs.
Harris and tell them you wish a
repeat performance-this goes as
we'll for residents who may care
to contribute to the Blood Bank
but are waiting until someone calls
for them. Do your share and make
your appointments with Mrs.
Harris
