Letter from First Mayor

On the occasion of the fifth an
niversary of the opening of
Greenbelt we have the following
message from Louis Bessemer,
early resident and first mayor of
the town:
MANY changes have made
Greenbelt over in spirit and char
acter, / suppose, since l left last
year. Yet, l hope that these early
years are enriched by fruitful
experiences, and valuable gains
for the the community welfare.
"As we approach the fifth ami
versary Of Greenbelt's birth, |
judge many who have had some
work or association with the town
are challenged in their thinking
about what lessons can be learned
from this pioneer American ad-
venture in cooperative town liv-
ing and community planning. For
one, I can truthfully say, the
whole pattern of life for me has
been better conditioned and better
revealed because of the intimate
Greenbelt relations and because
of the work involved in voluntary
group activity! 1t can be honestly
said, / am sure, that we do gain
some slight wisdom, if we appre-
ciate the intricate problems Of
human relations and human
nature. This Greenbelt teaches in
SO objective a manner as to defy
contradiction.
81 am 80 happy, in these words,
to convey to all of you the meas
ure Of happiness which carry
with me as I recall the first year
Of Greenbelt living. For me it
surely seemed as though a great
vision had nlaterialized for the
common good, for Greenbelt does
now, in q sense, best typify the
aspirations and ideals which gave
birth to a great American way of

Was scheduled to arrive on the
scene of the Kentucky Derby today,

grass country'S biggest race.
The 1871 Juvenile champion took

faVorite at Al for the $4,000 clas-
sic to be run May 2.
The list of future book prices
quoted by James j. Carroll of st.

years. They were topped by Alsab

Greentree stables Devil Diver. Cal
umet FARMS Sun Again and Re-
uuested at 6-l: and E. r. Bradley

TENNIS
RIES

The number of entries in the
singles and doubles tournament to
be held Friday afternoon and eve
ming on the Ell Centre courts in con-
junction with the I. V. Sport and
Relay carnival will be doubled
Coach George Egling said Tuesday
Originally only the top three
singles and doubles men from the
four high schools in the valley ten
mis- league and Yuma high school
were to play but the announcement
opens the way for the second sing
les man and the second doubles
team to enter.
The tournament will be run off
in single day. First rounds will
be played in the afternoon and
the final matches are scheduled for
Friday night.
Jack Hens, Ell Centre top man
was set up as a pre-tournament
favorite in the singles. Hens re-

at Yuma.

Right now the Barbara Worth
first mems team holds a one-point
lead over Yuma and the B. W.
Women's team has a comfortable
lead in their division. The second
mems division is being led by the
Del Rio team from BraWley.
The No. One mems team held
a twO-p0int lead over the Del
Flo team after the first match in
RrawieN and led Yuma by six
and a half points. The Del Rio
team slipped last week on the
Yuma course and the home club
bcrs narrowed the difference be-
tween themselves and the high
flying Barbara WOrthers.
However, that was on the Yuma
course and the Arizonans were at
home. The local golfers say that if
they are beaten on their own course
next Sunday they will just be up
against better golfers. Guess the
only thing to do is wait and see.

l. Are the Brooklyn Dodgers
more formidable than rated?
2. Can the Boston Red SoX give
the Yankees a battle.
The Dodgers are rocking along at
merrT TIA clip. True they have
been bowling over second division
opposition, Giants, Phils and
Braves, but they are putting the
pressure on the Cardinals, Reds
and other pretenders early.
YANKS FRIGHTENED
The Red SoX threw fright into
the Yanks over the weekend by
taking a series from the champions
at Yankee stadium. They had six
pitchers in a row go the route
almost unheard of for the Red Sox
but yesterday Joe Dobson, who
hurled a six-hitter in his first
start, was plastered out of the
box by the supposedly weak-hittinI
Senators.
Nevertheless the Red Sox still
lead the American League and have
shown enough all-round strength
to make Manager Joe Mccarthy
consider shaking up the Yankfhl
| lineup. First baSeman Ed Levy haS
made only one scratch hit in 10
times at bat and may be benched
any day for Buddy Hassett
Jack Wilson, an old Red Sox
hand, exacted revenge OIL his for
mer teammates yesterday when he
hurled Washington to a 10-4 tri-
umph over Boston. He gave up only
five hits while the Senators rap
ped Dobson and Ryba for Is, in
Guiding homers b. Case and Repass.
RIGNEY WINS
Rookie Harry Sketchley's first
inning double with two mates on
enabled the White SoX to defeat
the Tigers 81. DUNCAN Rigney
let the Bengals down with six hits
in out-pitching Dizzy Trout.
| Cleveland rode to q 43 victory
over the Browns on the hitting of
rookie Outfielder Oris Hockett,
who singled, doubled and tripled
Ken Keltner hit his second homer
of the season with a mate on base
to help the tribe get up to the
800 mark.
With Kirby Higbe winning his
first game, the Dodgers thumped
the Braves, 90. Higbe gave u
seven hits. The Dodgers made ~
off Earle, SPAIN and Tost. Dixie
Walker drove in two more runs,
making six in two days for him.
Scoring six runs in the eight
off Max Butcher and Hank Con
nicki, the Chicago Cubs waylaid
the Pirates, 80. Ten Cubs went
to bat in the inning with Lou
Stringer's triple doing the big
damage.
A homer by Alban Glossop, Giant
castoff, with the bases loaded en-
abled the Phils to down the Giants
6-3. Danny LitWhiler's homer with
a mate on accounted for the other
Phil run.

S&orn1iing
by RAY BARNES

Rev. Hayden Sears, the baseball
loving minister, has been doing a
line job with his flock of grade
school youngsters.
Not only does Sears show the
boys how the game should be play
ed but he also gives them a chance
to have some real hardball games.
The boys have rough and ready
games among themselves and
then they go up against Boy
Scout team now and tlen.
Sears cannot be commended too
highly for his work, as baseball
coaches in high schools that the
boys will attend in few years will
attest.
And I mean those boys really play
ball. It's not rare Lnat they smack
a good pitch way out into the out
field. In a practice game recently
two boys connected for homers and
one of them was hit so hard that
it bounced off the left field wall
over three hundred feet from home
plate.
