Greenbelt cooperator., 1942-11-20
OUR
NEIGHBORS

Well, here We are back again,
still a little weak from the party
the staff threw Saturday night
down at Waldrops'. Want to hear
about it? To begin with, the first
and last thing everybody worried
about was "who am | supposed to
ride with?" Everybody showed
up (nearly everybody and after
a few bucolic jokes from NC Ben
Rosenzweig, we all dived in to the
eats but only when Morris Terkel-
taub yelled out: "Praise the Lord
and pass me some nutrition" A
delicious meal was enjoyed by all
fried chicken and everything.
Our old friends, Sally and Ed
Meredith and George Warner, for
mer staff members, were the guests
de Paffaire. An informal skit de-
picting the outstanding chapters
in last years history of the Co.
operator served as feature enter
tainment. Greetings from Gov
ernor O'Conor and other public
officials were read by Editor
Cooper.
And then along came Wednesday
with a staff meeting at the office.
And in came a birthday cake with
five lighted candles. Also coffee.
Well, Happy birthday to US, happy
etc."
Former Mayor George Warner
and wife, Claire, were guests Of
honor together with DR.. Sam Ber-
enberg and wife, Freddie, at a re-
union party given November 16
at the home of Abe and Helen
Chasanow. Instituted June 2, 1941,
this first reunion lacked only the
presence of Joe and Peggy Bargas
and AL Arness to be a complete
roster of the initial gathering. Be-
cause none of the "absents" could
be present on June 2, 1912, the
reunion was postponed until Mon
day night, when time was rolled
backward and the "absents" were
represented by snapshots and mes
sages sent to the group. The le-
gend "June 2. 1912" was pasted
across the face of the clock and,,
to all intents and purposes Novem-
ber 16, 1912, was still in the dim
future. A "Greenbelt Ancient His
tory Quiz" was given, with George
Warner proving that his thoughts
still lay with Greenbelt by winning
the first prize, and Kitty Wood
coming in close second. Pictures
garnered from early issues of the
COOPERATOR were passed a.
round and the remember this,
Sam?" 8 were thick in the air.
Grand food, and big white cake
with welcome Home, Sam and
Freddie and George and Claire"
helped considerably to enliven the
evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson Altizer,
34-C Crescent Road, celebrated
their sixth wedding anniversary

Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Uhrig were
the first couple to move into 16-C

Poor James Smith-he done lost
his good coat and pigskin gloves
at the Barbecue, Sunday, down at
the Lake. He thinks he left them
at the pavilion, on the rail. If
any good samaritan happens along,
please, please, please, return them
not to the scrap campaign-but
to his abode on All Southway.
The coat was purchased during the
depression (the one in 1929, and
that's the main reason he wants
it returned.
Tessim and Peggy Zorack had
as guests over the weekend Tess
inns mother and Dad. Peggy had
such a bad cold she couldn't get
out to the barbecue, Sunday, but
Tessim brought the rest of the
family out.
