ouEEREsr SUMMER OF ALL
Good Evening.

We've had summers
 That you may recall, Heat. seven year locusts, drouth.
 But this is the queerest or all We've had summers
 When the whole tobacco crop From storm after storm
 Was just one flop. We've had summers
 Such as back in sixty-tlve, But we only know about them
 For most of us weren't alive. We know about summers
 Tn other lands the worst ever seen' Such as those just pack bit
 in nineteen fourteen. We've had summers
 Worse than any others by Tar, But we can't recall one
 When you couldn't drive car We've had summers
 Most peculiar you can bet, But the summer right now
 Is the very queerest yet

 AN ARMY OVERSEAS DIS- CHARGE AND REPLACEMENT DEPOT, July 2-The troops here know that they will sail overseas momentarily. When they will leave or where they are going, they dc not know. There was high excite ment when they arrived here few days ago, but now that has given way to boredom and the tiring nerv- ous tension of enforced waiting be- fore trip they wish were quickly over.
 This depot, or staging area" as it is called, is many miles behind the port of embarkation from which these units will sail. It is army procedure to move troops into these staging areas before the sailing date for last-minute showdown inspections.
 MEN RECEIVE A
 FINAL EXAMINATION
 Here all equipment is checked, shortages made up. Here, too, the men are given final physical in- spection. One or two out of every hundred men will not be in condi- tion to leave with their units. Their places will be filled from the "cas- uals''-men who, like them, came to the staging area with other units and who at the last minute could not sail with them.
 Tonight these men will board ship, though not even their com- manding officers know 1t yet. They have been packed and ready to sail at an instant's notice ever since they arrived here.
 Each man will take with him one blue barracks bag and his pack. All other equipment has already gone over to tht port, where the troopships are even now being loaded with their last pieces of cargo.
 The soldiers here are in various stages of drill, checkup and re- taxation. A staff sergeant attached to the permanent personnel of the staging area is getting five innocu- lations at once in the infirmary He has just been notified that he'll sail with these units, replacing a staff sergeant taken sick this morning.
 Out in the yard one unit is get ting last instructions from its "topkick."
 SOLDIERS JOKE
 AWAITING START
 "All right, men. That's all. Re- member, we're soldiers now. Fall out. And stay within calling dis tance of the barracks"
 Inside one of the barracks a unit is loaf1ng around waiting for the g-expected word to leave. Most of the men are anxious to get go- ing. "1'm going to get Jap for each day of my furlough that was cancelled last December" says a bronzed corporl from the mid west.
 Want to go? Hell, that's what joined for. I've got 8 brother in Australia. I want to beat him into action," says tall, lanky former truck driver.
 Guesses as to their destination vary widely. Anywhere beginning with an "A and ending with an A." cracked buck sergeant. The equipment is no particular tipoff since it includes both warm and cold weather clothing. The con- pany commanders don't know their destination. Not even the ships masters know, though they will be told before sailing
 Over at the port of embarkation three or four officers from each unit have arrived to make final checks on last-minute problems

This is your high school CORES
pondent tuning in on station G. o.
o. P. Hope that little cold spell
wasn't to much for you after that
nice warm weather we were hav-
ing for a while. All the girls went
back into their winter coats after
they had been sporting their new
suits. (By the way, | suppose you
have noticed all these good-looking
suits quite a few of the girls had
for Easter. Before l go farther
there is correction l must make
in something l SAID last week.
Janet Neff, Mary Lowe, and Helen
Zoellner are not junior typists, as
l stated, but Senior typists. These
girls just about moved me under
when they saw me at the U. S. ..
dance, last Saturday. l am truly
sorry about this and l trust they
won't hold it against me.-Okay-
girls?-. Speaking Of the U. S. O.
dance, all the girls who went wish
to thank the Women's Club for the
wonderful time everyone had. 1t
would have been quite difficult to
find a girl around Greenbelt that
mite, III bet!-But zip" Mamma
says he had a party at his house.
I wonder if any girls were there.
Were there any. "zip?"
Miss Nudo was up in Philadel-
phia over last weekend. She went
for the funeral of her uncle and
the marriage of her cousin. Sever
al of the boys in school remarked
that she was present at two fun
erals. Could be, maybe, l wouldn't
know.
Miss Council had quite full
weekend, too. First thing Sat.
morning she took her Library Club
into Washington for sightseeing
tour. Too, she was entertaining a
college friend Of hers for a few
days.
We have two new girls around
now. One, Dorothy Burton, comes
to us from Eastern High, in the
Districe, and she seems to have
started out on the right foot by
getting with the crowd of girls
who went to the U. S. o. dance
The other; Betty Dickson, is from
Central and is a Sophomore.

Women S Club Hears
Home Expert

The Woman's Club of Greenbelt
met April 16 at the home of Mrs.
Miles A. Bonnar, 35-G Ridge Road
with Mrs. Elmer Nagle as CO.
hostess. Miss Florence Mason,
home furnishing specialist, and
Mrs. Octave A. Bigoness, garden
chairman for the County Fedora
ton, were guest speakers. Mrs.
Linden Dodson who presided at
the meeting expressed the clubs
thanks to all those who contrib
uted to the Cancer Fund.
Miss Mason, whose subject was
Making the Home Comfortable
and Attractive" said that it is of
the utmost Importance now that
the home be kept as attractive as
possible, not only because of the
morale-building effect but also be-
cause it will be increasingly diff
cult to buy new furnishings and
housewives must preserve those
they have. She urged that house.
keeping be simplified to save time
for wa rwork and said this may
best be done by keeping the home
uncluttered.
Miss Mason declared that it is
far more important to know your
self and your reactions than to
know different periods of furni-
ture, for satisfying personal de-
velopment.
Mrs. Bigoness outlined the his
tory Of flowers and the part they
play in the different stages of life.
In spanking of the culture of par
ticular flowers, she said of roses
that they do best when based on
a two-foot excavation lined with
coal cinders. rocks, or gravel for
drainage. Crosses don't like wet
feet-they like plenty of water
but they don't like to stand in it.

Saving for Defense
Portrayed by P-TA
In Local Pageant
By KATHRYN M. WOOD

A round-table discussion by pri-
mary children will feature Mon
day nights Parent-Teacher Asso-
citation meeting at 8 p. m. in the
Auditorium. The teachers will ex-
plain the educational value of ex-
cursions as used by the school to
supplement individual experience.
Mrs. Betty Straining Rathell will
conduct this part of the program.
Mrs. Catherine Reed will explain
the change made in the method Of
reporting to the parent on the
child's progress. Mrs. Margaret
Miller is to speak on the Blood
Bank and its Importance in the
present emergency.
A total of $262.45 in nine days
of work on the Defense Stamp
booth was reported by Mrs. Gen
evieve Gerrit's group. On Friday
a play was put on dramatizing
this work. Leonard Deibert i'm
personated President Roosevelt
and George Bauer took the part
of Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau. Teddy Fox in speak
ing Of the Federal debt explained
the debt problem and that portion
of it spent for national defense.
In the play Mr.. President asked
Mr.. Secretary to suggest some
means of getting revenue, to which.
Mr.. Secretary suggested selling
Defense stamps and bonds to en-
courage people to save while Civ
ing the government needed rev.
enue. Mr.. President wondered il
the children of Greenbelt would
help, to which Mary Bradford
replied that since the children of
Grenebelt have had so much Civ
en- them by Uncle Sam, this is the
way in which they feel they can
best express their gratitude. Mary
10 Holland and Edwin Lewis then
proudly presented their graph
showing Defense stamp sales of
$262.45, which pleased Mr.. Presi-
dent nightly.
Thus do the children of Green
belt combine creative dramatics,
school work, and their contribu-
ton to financial security.

Planning and Buying by the Week

With the war affecting all of
US in one way or another, we must
learn to plan ahead and do our
best to economic. One way of
helping ourselves, as we'll as our
Coop Stores, is to plan menues
carefully and at the same time
plan a weekly market order which
will cover our needs for that per-
iod. We cannot expect the stores
to deliver to our homes once day
or oftener, as some of US have
demanded, when there is a def
mite shortage of rubber for tires.
Nor is there a need for such a
service.
Too, we all could use a little
extra time for those activities we
want to take part in now; such as
Red Cross classes or Civilian De-
fense work. With careful planning
for each week in advance we can
avail ourselves of these oppor-
tunities.
U. S. Dept of Agriculture,
Farmers Bulletin o. 1857 gives
a market order for a week for
minimum-cost adequate diet,
which should prove most helpful:
FAMILY OF FOUR
e moderately active adults, a boy
10 and q girl 81
WHAT TO INCLUDE
Canned tomatoes only, except
Milk:
Fluid milk or corresponding
quantities of canned or dried
milk.-17h quarts.
Vegetables and fruits:
Potatoes and sweet potatoes
II lbs.
Tomatoes and citrus fruits (can-
ned tomatoes only, except when
fresh tomatoes or oragnes are
at the height of their season
and cheap).-4 lbs.
Leafy, green and yellow vege-
tables lbs.
Dried beans and peas, peanut
butter and nuts-2 lbs.
Dried fruits-11a lbs.
Other vegetables and fruits
lbs.
Eggs-1 h doz.
Lean meat, poultry and fsh-4A
lbs.
Flour and cereals:
Flour, corn meal, rice, macaroni,
spaghetti, and assorted breakfast
cereals, as we'll as corresponding
quantities of white and whole
grain breads, other bakery
goods, and crackers.-15 lbs.
Fats:
Butter, margarines, lard, oil,
vegetable shortening, salt pork,
and bacon.-3A lbs.
Sugars:
Sugar, jellies, jams, honey,
Greenbelt cooperator., 1942-04-24

syrups, and molasses.-3A lbs.
Accessories:
Coffee, tea, cocoa, baking pow
der, soda, vinegar, salt, spices,
etc.-45 cents.
This plan for a minimum-cost
adequate diet gives the cheapest
combination of foods that is de-
sirable to use for an indefiite per-
iod. In order to meet all nutri-
tional needs as cheaply as pos
sible, this diet has large quantity
of cereal products and milk as its
basis. Just enough of vegetables,
fruits, eggs, and lean meats are
used to supply the vitamins, min
erals, and proteins not adequately
furnished by bread and milk, and
enough of fats and sweets are in
cluded to round out the calories.
An average days menu would
be something like this, if planned
from the weekly market order.
Breakfast
Sliced oranges (adults)
Orange or Tomato juice
(young children)
Hot whole-wheat cereal
Toast
Milk (children)
Coffee (adults)
Lunch or Supper
Savory beans
Poached eggs (young children)
Bread and butter
Stewed prunes
Milk (children)
Coffee (adults)
Dinner
Meat and cereal loaf
Escalloped potatoes
Buttered beets with beet
tops
Bread and butter
Hot Gingerbread
Milk (children)

OUR

By SALLY MEREDITH

Hello, Greenbelt:
I've broken one of my New
Years resolutions, to wit: 81 will
not write anything before I'm sure
of all the facts" Or words to that
effect. Well, I've done it before,
/ can do it again. Last week, for

ing 500 net taken in by the Red
Cross dance by two and erron-
eously informed you that they had
reached 5000. Sorry.
Salvage Dodgers
A most surprising bit of infor-
nation has come my way, first
from one source, then another. 1t
seems that there are Greenbelt
residents who not only refuse to
support the Civilian Defense effort
actively, but who are actually
helping to impede its progress.
mean those people who, as soon
as it was announced that there
was an urgent need for paper by
the government, began saving
papers to sell at prevailing peak
prices, not to buy Defense
Stamps; not to help the nation in
its crisis; but because a few pen
nies mean so much to them that
they will do anything to obtain
them. Our Salvage Committee
another understaffed volunteer or
ganization-is trying to sell the
government enough scrap paper
and metal to purchase vitality
needed materials for our protec-
tion. Regardless of whether you
believe Greenbelt will ever be
bombed, you are being foolish as
well as unpatriotic not to help
prepare for that eventuality.
