Hello, Greenbelt:

Hello, Greenbelt:
Now that we no longer can "run
in town" for an evenings enter
tainment, it looks like the Citizens
Associations idea of more and bet
ter dances locally is bound to re-
ceive general approval. The last
G. c. A. dance certainly was sue
cessful, and the one on August l
sounds like more of the same. If
you've been wondering about de-
velopments in the Greenbelt dance
orchestra plan, from what l. hear,
plans are being postponed until
August. Reason? Leader Dick
Althaus and family are leaving
next week for their home in Mich
igan. Travelling with them will
be Fred Ryerse, assistant tenant
selection officer.
The Fourth celebration, for
many Greenbelters, extended well
into the Fifth! Up in one of the
defense homes an impromptu party
started, reports of which reached
me Tuesday. | hear that a very
good time was had by all. In my
neighborhood, a lively-and evil
IDENTIFY enjoyable-party lasted
long after our own mild celebra-
tion was forgotten. l don't think
any one objected to late party
noise. After all, we can remember
Fourths of July when frecrackers
weren't taboo, and boisterous pa
triots set them off at all hours.
They should live so long!
