Adult Education
Glasses Still Open

The first meetings of the adult
education classes were held Mon
day evening with courses in typ
ing, woodwork, Spanish and sew
ing proving attractive to the larg-
est number of people. Shorthand,
nutrition, public speaking and
standard first aid also drew
promising groups. All classes did
not have the required Is people
present but it is expected that ad-
ditional registrations will be re-
ceived.
Miss Aileen Williams will teach
classes in shorthand and typing;
Mr.. Ben 0. Sheldon, woodwork;
Mrs. Marion Moore, standard first
aid; and Mr.. Milton Wiksell, pu-
bic speaking. Final registrations
will be received next Monday and
instructors for sewing, nutrition,
and Spanish will be assigned then
if a sufficient number of people
show interest in those classes.

More than $1,000 worth of War
bonds and stamps have been sold
at the Greenbelt Theater which is
participating in the motion pic
ture industry's drive to raise
$1,000,O00 during the month of
September.
The management expressed it
self as happy to say that this fig
ure is greater than expected, and
urges Greenbelt residents to con-
tinue their generous investment.
The theater has done it's part in
the war effort by donating $50
toward the purchase of an ambu-
lance.
The sale of bonds and stamps
during the first week of the drive
totaled $500; $500 of which was
subscribed on the first two nights.
During the period from September
8 to Is, $500 was sold. The largest
single purchase was made by
Howard Price, sailor, who
bought four $25 bonds.

Program Is Big Hit
Of Citizen Meeting

The Citizens Associations first
meeting of the season opened to
the tune of "God Bless America"
Dixie, ooh Susanna" and other
songs accompanied by Walter j.
Slocomb, jr., on the organ.
The executive committee of the
Citizens Association was asked to
investigate the use of the gymna-
SUM for the season. One citizen
expressed the hope that if the
gymnasium could only be opened
one or two nights week it would
be open to all men of Greenbelt
instead Of one particular club
which has been the practice for
the last season, according to re-
ports.
Stanley Ostler, president Of the
Citizens Association, will appoint
q transportation committee to be
patterned after the old committee
Of last year. It's duties will be to
bring riders and drivers together
and work comparatively with the
Transportation Exchange in the
CoOperator.

gram, planned by Mrs. Evelyn

lection that they did not have

quence, but audience and partici
pants alike responded, at was

Those who were not worried by
the tasks of the day and frolic of
the evening stayed for period
of folk and square dancing.
Some expressed the hope that
more such evenings as this would
take place soon. The entertain
ment committee promised more at

NUTTY COMEDY
COMES TONIGHT
AT 10Th CENTURY
Bob Hope, Dorothy Lamour
and Bing Crosby Co-stdr
in Road 10 Zanzibar

Loaded with swift-paced gags and
several brand new hit tunes, Para
mounts new comedy with music,
Road to Zanzibar" opens tonight
at the Goth Century Theatre. STAR
ring Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and
Dorothy Lamour, three of the
screens best entertainers.
Crosby and Hope have a knack
for delivering gag line that is
just perfection, and Dorothy La
mour is still fagorite eyeful with
an extremely pleasant voice and
beguiling manner.
Getting off to a lively and hill
arious start, the new film presents
Bling and Bob as pair of carni-
val men travelling around Africa
with their acts, trying to raise
enough money to get back home.
Bing thinks up the ideas for the
act, in which Bob is Fearless Fraz-
Ter. In this role, he is shot out
of a cannon, frozen alive, electro
cuted and made to perform sundry
other pleasant little, chores.
Just as they've raised enough
money fer steamer fare, they run
into Dorothy Lamour and Una
Merkel, who are trying to scrape
up enough money to get through
the jungle from Bombandu to zan-
zibar, where Dorothy plans to mar
ry a rich young man. Una tells
the boys the story of Dotty's hav-
ing been captured by slave-traders
and being put up for sale on the
auction block. Bing and Bob chiv-
alrously buy Dotty, and offer to
organize safari to take them to
Zanzibar. When the boys learn
that Dotty was getting a kickback
from the slave traders every time
she was sold, and that it was all
racket, they desert the safari.
Their adventures after they're cap
tured by cannibals and their escape
provide some of the most hilarious
situations.

I attits
Present BIitzkrieg New
Kind Of Attack from that
of First World War
BY JOHN GROVER

WASHINGTON-German U-boats
now operating within gun-echo dis
lance of the eastern u. S. coast
are using a different technique
than the submersibles that harried
the Atlantic coast in the World
War.
Long-range subs of the World
War used torpedoes rarely A ma
jority of their victims were fishing
trawlers, coasting schooners and
barges under 1000 tons. Usually,
after hating the small vessels and
permitting the crews to take to
boats, German sailors placed time
bombs aboard the ships. Some
were sunk with gunfire. the sub
marines surfacing boldly when they
we're certain the ships were UNI
armed.
Only three of the so vessels sunk
in the western Atlantic by U-boat
action during the World War were
downed by torpedces.
Coast Mined
The raiders of Is years ago also
carried mines The cruiser San
Diego was sunk by mine laid by
the U-156 off Fire Island July 10,
1918. The battleship Minnesota
was damaged by one of the u
ITS mines close to the coast Sept.
20, 1918, and the Navy cargo ship
Saetia was downed Oct. 9, 1913.
Two merchant vessels also fell vic
tim to mines off the U. S. coast.
The clipped reports so far issued
by the Navy Department indicate
the U-boats now lurking in the
sea lanes are using "take no
chances technique, firing tor
pedoes exclusively and without
warning. The tanker Norness, first
sunk by the invading undersea
craft, was the target for three tin
fish
Pack Technique Is New
The communique saying the pres
ent-day subs we're "thick as cat
fish" also indicated departure
from German World War methods.
In 1917-18, the German subs played
solo. The German admiralty timed
the forays so one submarine would
relieve another running short of
fuel.
Thus in 1918 the U-151 first ap-
peared off the Massachusetts, coast
May IS, when she sank the schoon-
er Hattie Dunn. Her last victim
that trip was the Pinar del Rio,
sunk by gunfire June 8.
The U-156 got into. the box score
on July 81, when she surfaced off
Orleans, Mass, and knocked off
flock of tugs and barges. 1t scored

Army headquarters announced to-

which shook the Honolulu district

morning probably were caused by
medium sized bombs dropped by

The bombs were dropped on the

no damage and no casualties.
The apparent bombing marked

Just before the bomb explosions
were heard an air raid alarm
sounded, but there was no general
