Drivers Are Needed
To Lift Ride Shortage

A number of causes have COM
bined to create one of the most
serious shortages of transportation
in the history of Greenbelt. Re-
cent restrictions on automotive
equipment and supplies, job trans
fers, changes in working hours,
and an increasing reluctance on
the part of drivers to use their
cars are making it extremely diff
fcult for Sol Shub, Chairman of
G. C. AS Transportation Commit
tee, to arrange rides.
Mr.. Shub urgently requests that

unless OIHef SOuTCSS VI IeNS-
nue. become Immediately available
the local community will be with
out facilities for disqualification
after this month. Several sugges-
tions are being offered to finance
the medical center. One proposal,
offered by formor councilman Ed
ward Walther was the method of
direct taxation of local residents.
Councilman Tom Kicker, when
questioned as to the approximate
amount per family of possible
taxation, said that about $12 per
family per year would be re-
quired to continue operation of
the hospital. This amount, he add
ed, applies to the new defense"
residents as we'll as the older
Greenbelters. An alternative mea-
sure, also offered by M. Walther,
was that Farm Security Admin
istration be petitioned to allow
higher income families to remain
in Greenbelt and pay a higher
rent. This would produce increase
revenue which could be applied to
the hospital fund, he explained.
DR.. Joseph Silagy, medical
director of the Health Association,
when asked for statement, said
at is very unfortunate that
Farm Security Administration did
not see fit to permit the Town
Council to continue supporting the
hospital. Always a necessity, it
is even more so now, in view of
the number of additional residents
expected here shortly, as well as
the fact that Washington hospitals
are turning away patients. Our
hospital is the only one in Prince
Georg's County, and has been
scheduled to play large part in
civilian defense efforts as base
hospital for emergencies of a war
nature"
Mr.. Kicker said that FSA's re-
fusal to accept the $4,000 item
asked for in the buget .b,nitte1
to them was "a great surprize to
u.s." He added that the Council
had personally discussed the bad
get with FSA, and had expected
il to be accepted. The Bdnkhaad-
Black Act, according to Mr.. Rick
er, provides that FSA "may pay
sums in lieu of taxes for services
received" but does not state that
they must do so. In the past they
have acceded to requests made by
Council. FSA officials, in notifying
Council members thai the request
mad been refused, said that it was
up to Greenbelt to finance its own
hospital.
A QUESTIONABLE issued some
month ago indicated that the ma
jority of Greenbelters would pre-
fer. seeing some other part of the
budget sacrificed in fayo: of the
hospital rather than to pay a di-
rect tax. However, no part of the
budget can be sacrificed, said Mr..
Kicker, as all requests were cut
as much as possible before sub
mitting it to FSA

Patronage Slips
Due Within z Weeks

d Greenbelt Consumer Services
has announced that 1941 patron
age slips are being received at the
office of the cooperative now, and
will be accepted up to the dead
line, two weeks and day hence.
In order to participate in last
years patronage return, if one is
declared by the membership at its
annual meeting early next month,
members and applicants for men,
bership must have submitted their
slips by 6 p. m. on Saturday, jan
uary II.
The form on which to tabulate
the amounts represented by the
bundles of slips were distributed
by G. G.. S. last week. Patrons who
failed to receive copies may obtain
them at the food store.
Directions are to submit the
slips in bundles of 25, securely
fastened. Only the first of "a"
bundle may contain less than 25
slips. The identifying letter,
amount of patronage represented,
and the name of the patron should
be indicated on each bundle.
All the slips, accompanied by the
form and enclosed in strong

G.C.S. Board Asks
Return Be Limited
To Shareholders

VI N1CClpC1L SOII~
sumer Services will take action
upon several matters, including
recommended changes in the CO.
operatives bylaws and an election
of directors, at their annual meet
ing on February 4. Plans for the
meeting are in the final stage of
completion by the directors.
The board is prepared to rec
ommend to the membership that
the bylaws be amended, first, to
require that a person purchase
one share of stock before any
patronage refund will be credited
to him and, second, to reduce the
requirement for a quorum from
25 to Is per cent of the members.
A matter of policy to be acted
upon, which does not require an
amendment to the bylaws, con-
Germs a proposed limitation upon
share Withdrawals. The board feels
that, if member continues to re-
side in Greenbelt and has invested
an amount less than $50 either in
cash or through patronage refund
credits, he should not be permitted
to withdraw his shares.
Any amount above $50 would
be subject to withdrawal if the
member desires, according to ten
tative details of the proposal.
Upon leaving the community, how
ever, a member would be given the
full amount of his investment as
soon as the board has had an op-
portunity to act upon his request
for repurchase of his shares.
Increased Investment Needed
Because of wartime conditions,
board members feel that a mini
mum investment per family of
about $50 is essential in order for
G. c.. S. to operate successfully.
Their position on this matter will
be thoroughly explained to the
members, after which the board
will be guided by the memberships
action upon it.
The amount of the refund due a
patron who has not purchased a
voting share will be reflected on
the books of the cooperative and
will be available for distribution
to that patron upon the purchase
of share, according to one of
the proposed amendments to be
recommended by the board.
Proposed Reduced Quorum
1t is proposed to amend Section
2 of Article 10 to read as follows:
"a quorum competent to transact
business shall consist of fifteen
per cent of the members" The
only change suggested is to strike
out the words twenty-five" which
now appear in the bylaws and SUBJ
stitute the word "fifteen" for the
percentage required for a quorum
at membership meetings.
The terms of office of five direc-
tors expire with the February
meeting. Forms on which to sub
nit nominations of candidates for
these positions will be supplied
by the cooperative. All nomin-
ations must be in by p. m. on
Wednesday, January 28.
Notice of the meeting, the pro-
posed agendum, details of the rec
commended changes in the bylaws,
copies of the minutes of the No
vember membership meeting, and
nomination blanks will be COM
pleted and mailed to members of
the cooperative this weekend, ac-
cording to present plans.
