Full LandsCaping
OF Defense Homes
Still In Doubt

The Cooperator discovered Men
day that the landscaping contract
which was recently let for the
completed defense houses includes
only work on the top SOIL Addi-
tional contracts will have to be
granted for sodding and seeding
and the planting of hedges to COM
plete the landscaping of the new
homes. No estimate has been
given for the time which may
elapse before the entire landscap-
ing is completed.
The finishing touches have been
put on group Of 154 defense
homes and the town administration
expects that these houses will be
occupied in the very near future.
This group of houses was sche-
duled to be completed by the first
of March of this year, then re-
scheduled for June first, but a
final date has not been set. The
final test to determine the eff
cheney of the heating units in the
homes has been started. When
this test is completed the only de-
lay in the opening of the group
will be for laying the concrete
walks and roads.
There is very long waiting
list for the defense homes which
are as yet unfinished, it was dis
closed by Mrs. Mary Jane Kinzer,
tenant selection officer.
Of the 1876 defense homes now
occupied, enc group was rented in
December of last year and the
other in February of this year.
Originally, the entire group of
1000 homes was expected to be
completed a year from the time
they were first started last June.
Numerous delays have impeded
the progress of the construction.

G. c. A. To Hold
Summer Dance

After the financial success of
the spring dance held by the
Greenbelt Citizens Association
June 20, on which $25 profit was
made, midsummer dance is
planned August |. it was an
nounced at meeting of the G.
G. A. executive committee.
Jack Kings orchestra, which
supplied the music at the former
dance, has again been secured,
with its feminine vocalist, Rose
Marie Shiller, said G. C. A. Presi-
dent Stanley Ostler. Mr.. Kings
group, said Mr.. Ostler, was very
well received, drawing many ap-
proving comments from those
present.
James Smith, chairman of the
ways and means committee, ex-
pressed the opinion that local en-
tertainment will increase in favor
as tire and gas rationing force
the public to stay at home for re-
taxation. Evidence of this, he
said, was in the attendance at the
last dance-nearly 200-which
was the largest attendance at a
Greenbelt dance since the Defense
Rally.
Tickets will be on sale in ad-
vance at As cents, at the door, SO
cents, offering a saving for pur-
chasing tickets early.

Schools Here
To Be Placed
On Two Shifts

Relinquishing all hopes of addi-
tlonal school facilities for Green
belt students by the fall term,
local educational officials this
week announced tentative plans
for placing both the elementary
and high schools on twice-daily
shifts. Bids on the construction
contract have not yet been called
for, as the plans approved recently
0y the chief engineer of Farm
Security Administration must sub
sequently meet the approval of
the War Production Board, before
bids can be received.
Stressing the fact that shifting
the school hours will not affect
the standard of education. Mrs.
Catherine T. Reed, Elementary
School principal, explained We'd
nesday that, except for gym
classes and recess, the students
will spend the same amount of
time in the classrooms. Study
periods, however, will be elimin-
ated and all homework will have
to be done at home, she added.
Paul Barnhart, High School
principal, said that while the sit
uation was not as acute at the
High School as at the Elementary
School, it will be necessary to
place his pupils on double
session basis, until arrangements
have been made for additional
space. Spring census figures of
both schools showed $50 elemen-
tary students and 25O high school
students, according to Mrs. Mary
Jane Kinber, head of the Tenant
Selection Department. She added
that estimates can not at this
time be made as to the number
of additional pupils who will reg
lster next fall, as it is not known
yet at what rate the Defense
homes will be occupied.
aHaroval of WPB Required
approval of the War Pro-
Board can not be given
ey are convinced that the
,ools are heavily over
AGed, said Mrs. Kinzer. Town
Manager Roy S. Braden said at
HaaJune Town Council meeting that
numerous changes had been made
to reduce the amount of vital
materials used, until a minimum
had been reached. Included in the
4<aanges was the exclusion of
auditoriums in both the new ele-.
mentary school and the addition
to the High School. He added
that at that time (June y, even
if bids were called for imme-
diately, legal procedures and
actual construction time would be
such that the schools could not be
completed before January l,
1912. On that basis, it appears
evident now that school facilities
will remain as they are well into
the 1943 spring term, by which
time the balance of the 1000 De-
fense homes are expected to be
occupied,
