Soldier Patients
VIII Haze Gifts

Soldier patients in the hospital
at Fort Meade will not be for
gotten this Christmas if the Green
belt Women's Club has anything
to say about it. The club met in
it's regular monthly meeting last
Thursday afternoon at the Gren-
belt Athletic Association Club
House and raised SIT by individual
donations to help fill Christmas
stockings for the hospitalized men.
The action was taken as part of
the short business meeting with
Mrs. Leon Benefited, president,
presiding. Mrs. George Clark read
a memorial tribute to the late
Tyler Page, author of "The Amer
leans Creed".
The meeting was turned over to
Department Chairmen Mrs. Linden
S. Dodson, Mrs. Samuel Houlton
and Mrs. Daniel Neff, who had
arranged to observe Christmas by
holding an old-fashioned Christmas
party. The members sang Christ
mas carols, were entertained by
short program and then Santa
Claus distributed a gift to each
one.
Following this Mrs. Benefited
surprised the Club by presenting
each member with lowered pin.
Refreshments appropriate to the
Christmas season were served by
hostesses Mrs. Arthur N. Cav
throp and Mrs. Comfy B. Ritchie.

Two Stores Produce
New Sales Records

Tom Kicker, manager of Green
belt Consumer Services, declared
that the food store reached a new
high last week, selling $9,516
worth of merchandise. The variety
store also made new record dur
ing the week, doing a business of
$2,116. The food store was orr
ginally built for maximum bust
ness of $6,500 weekly, and if
business increases much more,
Mrs. Kicker is not sure that the
walls of the building will be able
to withstand the internal pressure
OF milling costumers. A meeting
will be held next week with Fede-
raj Public Housing Authority
officials to discuss possibilities of
moving the produce department
outside of the building in order
to make more room for other
items. Additional stores originally
planned for the north part of
town failed to get approval by
W. P. B.
Milasi Staying

is made to patrons of the shoe re-
pair shop that Paul Milasi, the
shoe repair man. is not leaving
after all, to 60 into the Army. He
Is doing business as usual. Phar.
macist Ellerin is also staying, but
only until the 10th of the month.
Mr.. Ellerin was refused a fifth
occupational deferment by the
local draft board, and therefore
enlisted in the Navy, as announc-
ed in the Cooperator last week.
MRS. Kicker states, however, that

Child Care Center
Again Considered

Attempts are again being made
to determine whether Greenbelt
needs a Child Care Center or Nur-
sery. A committee has been set
up with Mrs. C. Paul Barnhart as
chairman, to make a survey of the

Labor Official

WASHINGTON. Nov. 27-MiSS
Mary Anderson. who for "a years
has headed the womcn'S division Of
the department Of labor, today
took a firm stand against immedl-
ate nationwide registration Of
women. either voluntary or COM
pulSory.
Even without such registration,
Miss Anderson believed 7 b Z
women will take over more Than
half the Jobs in the United states.
"To register women before Il
becomes absolutely necessary
would he crying wolf" she SAID.
COST TIME. MONEY
II we use the present machinery

she added
premature registration would

Miss Anderson stated.
For the present. Miss Anderson
advocated voluntary registration
in certain localities where labor
shortages occur.
"We have already held two
registrations of women I'm Port
land, Ore. one In Connecticut
and another In Detroit" she
said. However, the Detroit reg
istrstion was the only success
ful one since there were still not
enough jobs ready for women In
the other areas"
ENGLAND's EXPERIENCE
She pointed out that England
conducted two voluntary reglstra
tions early in the war before any.

Later. when women workers be-.
came vitally needed. IT was nee
essary 10 impose compulsory reg

Today In England IS per cent
Of the workers are women"
Miss Anderson continued. II
doubt III we will reach such n
high percentage In the United
States, but certainly more than
so per cent Of the workers will
be women.
women can do everything
and anything except the work
requiring great strength and
such jobs are being rapidly
lightened with mechanical de-
vices"
JOBS AFTER WAR

II think there will he plenty
