REMEMBER THOSE
WE LOVED

One of the finest customs of
civilized man is to keep constantly
fresh the memory Of those of our
families who have passed on to
greener pastures. One Of the most
convenient and appropriate ways to
do this yearly is to insert a card
Of Gin Memoriam" in your news
paper.
We have a large variety Of ap-
propriate and beautiful verses for
such cards. Prices for insertion are
nominal. Call Midway s340. Miss

across the edge of legal re-
port, sat Lena Olive Smith. A SOL
id, square-faced woman, the es-
sence of good taste. A born law
yer. And with the brilliant future
as an attorney.
L. o. raised her finger from the
report and let her hand run
through a recent barbered, bobbed
head. Her voice was one of an
appreciative attitude as she said,
Hello, Mitchell, take a seat. What
do you now?"
It was about ten degrees below
outside but a glorious sun, shining
through the office window, was
bathing the room a sparkling blue.
And as Miss Smith spoke to me,
her shrewd eyes seemed to drink in
the radiance of the atmosphere.
81 don't know a thing, Miss
Smith, not one thing. I came up
here so that I might sit at the feet
of a modern Pallas and soothe my
soul in her reflected glory"
"You fatter me, my good friend,
but I would advise you to save
that flowery flow of words for
some of your newspaper articles"
when she reads this article, she
will find that no truer words could
have been spoken.)
I grinned. Miss Smith offered
me a cigarette and lit one for her
self.
"Just for conversation, Miss
Smith, do you think men make bet
ter lawyers than women?"
"Well, I don't know" said the
twentieth century Portia. ga young
man who recently graduated from
law school went into the local law
library and asked for a book called
Man, the Master of Women He

ment."

Greenbelt cooperator., 1942-11-06
By ANNE HULL.

One Greenbelter of fairly re-
cent vintage said he didn't know
our town had mayor. And the
mayor was complaining not long
ago of the scant citizen attendance
at meetings of the Town Council.
These straws in the wind helped
point the way to last Mondays
meeting of the Citizens Associa-
ton, where Assistant Town Man
ager Arthur Rysticken explained
to large and interested audience
both our municipal set-up and the
relation of the Federal Govern
ment to Greenbelt. Stan Ostler, as
sociation president, had on ex-
hibit two huge wall charts show
ing how the town is both (a)
group of people renting from
Uncle Sam, and (b) a democratic,
self-governing community.
No. Mr.. Recent Citizen, the Fed
eral Government in Greenbelt is
not your boss; it is your landlord.
AS such, it keeps on the premises
people to collect its rents and
maintain its grounds and dwelling
places. You, Recent Citizen, nomi-
nate and elect the men who frame
the laws and ordinances by which
we all live together. These five
persons, the town councilmen,
meet twice monthly, and you are
welcome to attend their sessions,
which are announced ahead of
time in the Cooperator. Our
mayor is chosen from and BY the
group of five councilmen. Step
up and say "hello" to Allen D.
Morrison, for he is our present
mayor. The remaining members
of the present council are George
Bauer, Frank Lastner, Curt Baker,
and Tom Kicker.
These gentlemen supervise for
your benefit, department of pub
lie safety, public health, public
works, adult education and recre-
alton; they run a library and a
kindergarten. They choose a
town manager to carry out their
policies and to hire and fire town
personnel.
Now the confusing part comes
ln-various Federal officials here
also perform town functions. For
the Federal Government Roy S.
Graden is community manager. He
was also chosen town manager by
the council, who realized its good
fortune to have on the premises

Place of Landlord Uncle Sam
In Town Government EXPLAINED

man trained in the field, who, be-
cause of his Federal job, would
not be unduly hampered by the
small salary the town offers.
Other "dual personalities" are
the town treasurer, who doubles
as Uncle Sans collection agent,
the town councillor illegal advisory
whose Federal position is assistant
to the community manager, and
the town clerk, who is Manager
Braden's secretary, federally
speaking.
Citizens Association meetings
provide an opportunity for large
groups of citizens to get together
for discussion and action. Reso-
lutions passed by large meetings
necessarily carry weight with the
Town Council.
This is the type of government
we say we are fighting to pre-
serve. If more of us took an ac-
tive interest in it, our sincerity
would be more apparent.

Wholesale Manager Urges
Extension of Rationing

Problems of cooperative grocery
wholesaling were discussed Mon
day by Leslie Woodcock, manager
Of Eastern Cooperative Wholesale
and seven representatives from
Greenbelt Consumer Services
Dayton Hull, Tessim Zorach,
Comfy Richey, B. Hawkins, Donald
Herwick, James Mathers and Wal
do Mott.
AS a part of what he termed
"circuit riding" Mr.. Woodcock
was visiting managers and direct
ors of consumer cooperative stores
in the Washington area. After
pieturing the effect of new gov
ernment regulations on the whole
sale activities of cooperative enter
prises he pleaded for support in
asking more complete rationing
for goods now difficult to obtain.
In this respect he pointed out
prospective shortages. Other mat
ters given attention included the
new E. C. w. warehouses in
Philadelphia, transportation prob
lens, and the financial situation
for co-ops in this area.
