4 Hospital in Greenbeh

Renewed hope for hospital in Greenbelt appears now

atons with the Federal Works Agency for funds with
which put up either hospital with $50 200 beds
Why not three or four hospitals with so beds each?
If large hospital is built, it must of necessity be
centrally ocaedgeograp aphicay, and according to popu
aton and accessibility In county such Prince Georges,
the geographic center does not coincide with the center
of population, with that section that is most easily
accessible Therefore, it likely that the funds should

Flash News
The Greenbelt Health Associa-
ton has passed resolution which
will, in effect, insure all civilian
defense workers who are hurt
either during practice, drill, or
out on emergency duties. The
Health Association in cooperating
with the Defense Corps has finally
broken down an obstacle which
almost seemed to prevent the
Corps from fulfilling it's proper
duties. Almost every insurance
company in the country was con-
tacted in order to obtain insurance
for our Auxiliary Firemen but no
company would touch such a pol
icy. Credit goes to the Health
Association for providing medical
treatment and care to those in
jured during the performance of
their proper duties as members of
the Defense Corps. There are no
strings attached to this insurance
there will be no charge whatso-
ever for this service.
DR.. Joseph Silagy and his sue
cessor DR.. Eisner, have been pro-
viding physical examinations to
members of the Canteen Service
and to prospective donors to the
Blood Bank.
Corps Seeks Legal Status
by Comdr. Rysticken to the Town
Council requesting legal status
and recognition of the Defense
Corps. This is a technicallty
which has been overlooked but is
necessary for the continued work
of the defense organization. 1t
is believed that the ordinance will
provide for the establishment of a
Defense Council which will be
composed of town citizens. This
Council will handle all financial
matters relating to Defense Corps
activities, will act in an advisory
capacity in determining the Corps
policies and functions, and will be
responsible directly to the Town
Council
The Town Council will also be
requested to apoint the Civilian
Defense Corps commander who, in
turn, will appoint his chiefs of
staff. The commander alone will
be responsible to the Defense
Council for the efficiency and the
activity of the Corps, its chiefs
and units-and We will have full
control and authority over the De
fense Corps working units).
Comdr. Rysticken has announc
ed many new changes in the or
ganization of the Corps, but il
will take some time for the Corps
to begin working on a thoroughly
efficient basis. Plans for well
organized Corps are being formu
lated now as no time can b.
wasted but, at the same time, it Il
hoped that the people of Greenbel
will keep in mind the tremendous
task that is involved and not b.
too hasty to criticize or break tn
morale of the Corps while it i
being placed on a full war-tim
basis.
