By LOUISE BURKE

This is the final appearance Of
this column in the Cooperator in
connection with the recently closed
term....,..With graduation last Fri
day | am no longer eligible to
bring the high school news to you
by the way it certainly was
crowded over at graduation, wasn't
it?.......Everyone who attended said
that he enjoyed the program, es-
pecially the address by Dr. Stein
meyer on the very timely subject,
Remember Pearl Harbor." Say,
how did you like the caps and
gowns? s?......Among those in the
audience was 1t. Sliker, our
former principal, and his wife (of
just few weeks). Guess he hasn't
forgotten US.
We welcomed Janet Wilde back
into the old home town last week.
You will remember, she left US
at the beginning of this year to
attend school in Rhode Island. She
has graduated and is now back to
fill position at the Agriculture
Department while she is stopping
over at Southway.
Tonight the Greenhelt Band will
receive a group of new recruits
into their fold fror1 the Feeder
Band . Quite a few members of
the regula band have left due
to working and going to college.
Jimmy Bobbitt is ore of those. He
plans to move to Greencastle,
Indiana, where he will attend
DePauw University.
Edith Walker, VINO graduated
from Greenbelt High last Friday,
was married on Saturday She and
her husband are now residing in
Beltsville.
Well! That's about all the COW
erageable news to the present
moment, so I will say goodbye for
my part this year. "High School
Chatter" will undoubtedly appear
next year and l hope that your
new columnist will enjoy her
duties as much as / have.

Pool, Tennis Courts
damned As Old Sol
Turns On the Heat

A sweltering weekend insured
the successful opening of the
Greenbelt pool this summer for the
first time in 4 years. Many resi-
dents and their friends enjoyed
Decoration Day at the lake: fish
ing, boating, and picnicking.
Approximately 1900 people cooled
themselves at the pool and about
70 persons hired boats at the lake.
The shortage of rubber had no
lettering effect upon the many
who dared the hot sun to play ten
mis- (the tennis courts were in use
"a days in May) for many rubber
soles received good beating by
the Asa patrons who played on the
courts and the many who loosened
up their joints by playing hand
ball. According to one advocate of
handball, Town Manager, Roy
Braden has assured players that
netting will be placed over the
handball courts in the near future.
This will eliminate the unforutun-
ate procedure of waiting until
someone gets into the pool in Or
der to recover a ball hit over the
walls.

Controversy centered about tim

that the peculiar layout of Wash

pedestrian traffic here make a
longer light cycle necessary.
Regardless of what other cities
may do to decrease or increase their

. A little Competition

Mr.. Harold Ickes insists that trouble
will come out of the OPA's decision to
eliminate gasoline dealer rationing in the
new east coast system. He is afraid price
cutting will result.
The public does not share that fear
A little price competition is appreciated by
customers. But more than that, the
motoring public has the notion that avail
able gasoline should be distributed where
it can be used, and not left to lie idle in
some areas while others suffer from
drought. The new regulation is designed

. Industrial Shift

One salutary effect of the war pro-
duction drive has been a decentralization
of industry.
Studies reported by the National In
dustrial Conference board show that only
seven states-Arizona. Montana, North
Dakota, South Dakota Nebraska Okla
homa and Vermont-did not have higher
incomes last year than ever before. But
the significant point is the distribution of
increases.
New England, traditional manufacture
ing capital of the nation, had the lowest.
The Middle Atlantic and East North
Central regions also were below the ma
tional average. Mississippi. never much
industrialized, showed gain of as per
cent in year. Virginia was up 80, Louisi-
ana 81, Kansas 35 per cent. CALIFORNIA;
income almost equaled that of the entire
New England section.
