Jack Frazer cooked an eye at her
through the smoke rings he blew 50
cleverly. Are you, Kate?' he asked.
Kate said boldly, NO"
After all, what could Henry do?
She no longer had any dolls! She
did not give a fig for Henry.
The golden haze still persisted, as
she walked back down the dark pas
sage that divided Henry's part OF
the house from the bit he had given
away, where the kitchen was. And
in the darkness and the stiffness.
Jack Frazer put his arm round her
and his lips found hers.

Jack Frazer happily. "You don't

any man in England had ever blown
before. How he did it, Kate couldn't
say. He never appeared to bully
Henry. But he had him just there.
There was look of respect in
Henry's eyes she had never seen
before, as he looked at the large
American - the only man in all his
life who had ever crossed him.
"What are you making?" asked
Henry.
She held up the cornfowers and
the bow. She felt sorry for Henry.
He could not possibly help remem-
bering it. She looked him in the eye.
She said, "A hat - Henry. l am

GreenbeH Inside
The Cotton Belt

Cotton could be king in Green
belt, judging by indications. A
successful crop bearing 18 to 20
bolls to the stalk was raised in a
Greenbelt garden this summer by
William J. Dawson of Alabama.
Staying at present with his son
at 42-E Ridge Road, Mr.. Dawson
tried cotton growing in this eli
mate as an experiment, with a
background knowledge gained
from a lifetime of cotton farming
in his home state, both in Hunts
ford and in Selma, Alabama.
The seed Mr.. Dawson chose to
plant is the "King Improved, an
early cotton that is planted down
south around the latter part of
March or first of April, and picked
in August. Mr.. Dawson planted
his seed in Greenbelt the first of
June, and the bolls are now ready
to burst.-if the weather doesn't
suddenly get too cold!
Mr.. Dawson has noticed that
things grow more quickly here
than in the South. This he lays to
the exigencies of this climate, in
ferring that when the growing
season is shorter, the things just
naturally have to mature faster.
Besides cotton, the Dawson gar
den has yielded three crops each
of tomatoes, corn, and turnips,
and two of okra, which would be
unheard of in Alabama over a 81
milar period Of time.

Cut i'm Fuel Supply

Town Manager Roy s. Braden
states that although nothing
definite has been learned concern
ing the effect of fuel rationing on
Greenbelt, it is expected that the
town will operate on rs per cent
Of the amount of fuel used per
dwelling unit last year, just as
other consumers in the rationed
zones will be doing.
Residents will be expected to
take adequate precautions against
wasting heat by leaving radiators
on while windows are open at
night, or by leaving doors open
during the day. Window shades
lowered after dark will help re-
tain room heat, it was pointed out.

WpB Holds Up
Plans for New
Greenbelt Store

1t now appears that priority
rating for the purchase of cons
truction materials for a new gro
Gerry store will not be granted by
the War Production Board, accord
ing to Tom Kicker, manager of
Greenbelt Consumer Services. If
it is not obtained, the already
over-crowded Food Store will have
to serve all of the defense homes,
including more than 500 units
which are not yet occupied.
Original Plan Shelved
Original plans anticipated
shopping center in the northern
part Of town, with at least a new
food store, probably an additional
drug store, and possibly a bowling
alley. A second service station
was being considered for the high
school cross roads.
With the entry of this country
into the War last winter these ella
borate plans were shelved, but the
necessity for at least food store
was recognized. Plans for financ-
ing the new structure had been
completed recently, and it was
hoped that construction could be
completed shortly after the last
of the additional houses were filed
in the northern section of Green
belt.
The present WPB action would
require some residents to carry
groceries nearly a mile.
Plan improvements
Plans have been made for i'm
provements in the present store,
which will enable it to serve more
customers. A new $1,000 dairy
unit l " times the size of the pre-
sent one has been purchased. The
islands on the floor which hold
canned goods win be rebuilt to
hold larger quantities.
Mr.. Kicker asks Greenbelt re-
sidentg to remember that the war
has dilased Q shortage Of both sup
RIlandaa,d labor whiah, added 10
xlze rapidly increasing population,
presents . real problem for the
management. "The situation Of
fers Greenbelters. chance to help
in the war effort by doing all thew
can to alleviate the situation"
Manager Kicker said.
The present food store was de-
signed to serve about IS percent of
the original 500 units and it is now
accommodating 100 units, some
thing. many observers had pre-
viously said was impossible.
Sales for each of the last three
weeks have been over $500. The
record sales week ended Septem-
Der 5 with total of 1854 taken
in.

sumer Services at meeting Mon

This payment reduces indebted
ness of the local stores to $4,000
and makes $4,000 which Green
belt consumer-owners have repaid
on the $4,000 loan in three and
one-half years.

Seen as Improvement

SeeM @S Improvement
Mr.. Rysticken said that he be-
lieved the development of the
school will eliminate much wasted
time and duplication Of effort.
1t will be the responsibility of
Mrs. Downs to organize all new
classes, to obtaia instructors, and
to allocate available space for
such classes. 1t shall also be her
responsibility to maintain proper
records of the training and drill
received by each member of the
Defense Corps. The chiefs Of
staff will make known their needs
to Mrs. Downs, instead of organ
izing their own classes as in the
past. 1t is expected thhat this will
eliminate confusion, insure pro-
per publicity of all classes in
order to obtain maximum
attendance, and that it will also
insure the maintenance of proper
records.
The first step is the nutrition
class which will be sponsored in
conjunction with the Department
of Adult Education. All persons
interested in any phases of de-
Tense training should hereafter
contact Mrs. Downs.
Joint Meeting Called
The newly appointed Greenbelt
Civilian Defense Council will
hold its first meeting in conjunc-
tion with a meeting of the chiefs
Of staff of the Greenbelt Civilian
Defense Corps. Monday, Septem-
ber 20, at 8 p. m. at the Fire
house. Normally, the Defense
Council and the Defense Corps
will hold seperate meetings with
the commander being the only
member of the Defense Corps
attending the Defense Council
meetings. However, to inform the
new members Of the Defense
Council of the work which has
been and which is being planned
for the future, as well as to meet
the chiefs of the various divisions
of the Greenbelt Civilian Defense
Corps, both bodies will hold their
next meeting jointly.
Denominations Suspended
The Civilian Protection School
at the University Of Maryland has
again suspended the demonstra-
tons they have been presenting
at College Park for the past
several months. The faculty of
men of the Civilian Protection
School are now on the road tour
ing the entire country and pre-
senting their demonstration to
thousands of defense workers in
cities which have not had the op-
portunity to witness similar dem
onstrations. The College Park
demonstrations will not be re-
sumed until some time after
November 1st.
New Scrap Depot
In respect to the scrap drive
Commander Rysticken has issued
the following statement:
"All residents of Greenbelt are
urged to bring their scrap metals
and rubber to the garage behind
the filling station. The piling up
of this scrap in the mercantile
center or at the filing station
after regular collection periods
has given the Town an unsightly
appearance. Everyone is request
ed to cooperate in placing this
scrap at our new scrap depot.
If your scrap is too heavy to
bring to the garage yourself, cal1
the Administration office and it
will be picked up for you"
The gardening crew under
Angus Mae eGregor had charge of
collecting the tremendous scrap
pile from the neighboring woods.
The people of Greenbelt also have
contributed generously. There is,
however, a great deal Of scrap
metal and scrap rubber still re-
manning which should be turned
in at the earliest opportunity.

Humanity On The SkidS In
Dental Way, Expert Says

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.-UP -
Dentally speaking, humanity is on
the skids. according to DR.. P. J..
Brekhus, chairman OF University Of
Minnesota department of oral dag
nosis.
There seems to be a double.baT-
relied conspiracy against human
teeth" he says.
with each rise in civilization
there is a corresponding decline in
the Importance of teeth"
According to DR.. BreKhus, dental
evolution can be traced to a set OF
modified scales which an ancient
shark developed around its mouth.
Human teeth. he said. reached their
peak development among primitive
peoples and have since gone into a
decline.
THE Jaw muscles OF highly CIV
ilized peoples are very weak as
compared to those Of savage races"
he declares.
THE weakest jawed Eskimo
maiden has a biting strength much
greater than that OF the average
football player"
