Surprise Blackout Success;
CHA Ensures ARP Workers

minutes after the alarm was given
and Comdr. Rysticken expressed
the hope that all lights should ard
could be turned off in the future
almost as soon as the alarm
sounds. Street lights went off and
all traffic was stopped immedi-
ately.
Warning: One air-raid warder
reported lights on in one home
whose occupants had obviously left
and had not returned during the
course of the surprise "raid."
Comdr. Rysticken stated that war
rants will be served in the future
upon such negligent people and
convictions will be demanded in
order to enforce the provisions of
the blackout ordinance.
Warning: Motorists are warned
not to speed up their car move
ment at the raid alarm in order
to get where they are going before
being stopped. AS street lights 90
out wardens and other defense
workers are hurrying to their
posts, people on the streets rush
home and the chances of being hit
by some over anxious motorist are
increased. To prevent accidents,
stop your car at the alarm and
pull over to the curb, put out your
lights and step into a nearby home
until the "all-clear" is given.
Defense Units at the Fire House
had the opportunity to observe
light beams picking up and hold
ing a flying plane. 1t was a SIM
pie practice maneuver but quite
interesting to watch. All call
clear" was sounded at 11:45 pm,
and many more people were awake
at that time than at 1920. The
commander, all chiefs and men,
bers of various units expressed the
same opinion that everything went
off rapidly and smoothly in full
filling the necessary duties of civil
ian protection during the surprise
blackout.
Control Center
Comdr. Rysticken reports that
officials of Hyattsville and Branch
Vile IN cndrSe Oh MdryldHu ClNll-
ian Defense activities have agreed
to place all calls for men and
equipment during an actual or
practice raid through the control
center at the Fire House. Until
now each chief was contacted sep
arately and no one ever knew ex-
actly how many men or how much
equipment was at any one place
at one time. Hereafter when any
alert signals are given the control
center will call the chiefs who, in
turn, will call various individuals
who will contact other workers IN

Our weekly bouquet goes TO
Commander Rysticken who had
nerve enough July ID to keep
speeple sitting in stuffy and hot
auditorium to listen to what he
had to say about civilian pro-
tection-and make them like
it too. The Defense Corps will be
reorganized and really placed on
a full wartime basis in the i'm
mediate future. AS they are work
ed out details will be presented
to the public via the Cooperator.
Any suggestions can De sent to the
writer or mailed in care of the
Cooperator.

asked him whether he was annoy
ed at the heat while he sat in the
auditorium 10 days ago and re-
ceived the reply, -"Heat-oh, the
heat. No. I guess l was too inter-
ested in what Rysticken had to
say" Three hundred and fifty
people turned out to attend this
meeting and it really seems that
there are many people in this
town of ours who are interested
in doing whatever they can to
help our armed forces win this
war by doing their bit at home.
Surprise Air Raid
All was quiet and peaceful at
the Civilian Defense Corps meet
ing Monday night at the Fire
House when suddenly Brrrrrinngg
went the phone! l rushed to the
phones on the desk and picked one
up; the direct line from Branch
vile.
"Greenbelt Fire House Control
Center"-"Hello, Greenbelt? The
alert has just been flashed. Yell
low signal at 10:57 pm"
"Thank, you. Message received"
Then things started moving, but
fast. Many of the chiefs were
away from the Corps meeting but
with a few phone calls every one
reported to the Fire House within
five minutes after the alert had
been given. The chiefs, in turn,
called their assistants and soon the
place was well-flled with defense
personnel. DR.. William Eisner
had his unit report to the Casualty
Station elementary SchooD.
At the Blue signal, calls were
made to commercial establishments
to prepare for blackout if they
intended to remain open. The drug
store closed, the Cooperator office
closed, and the theater was mott
fed not to permit patrons to leave
after the alarm had sounded.
Memers of the regular and auxi'l-
ary police and firemen came run
.1ing when the alarm went of DIT
11:15 pm. Many had just gone
to bed or had been asleep.
Lights in the neighborhood were
fully extinguished about three

Minute Men Served
Eats by Canteen

At the last drill of the Minute
Men, the Canteen Unit of the
Greenbelt Civilian Defense Corps
served a surprise snack to the hot
and tired militiamen after a stiff
drill under the command of Capt.
Harry A. Bates. The hot coffee
and sandwiches were grabbed up
appreciatively, but with a re-
straint which elected words of
praise from Sergt. O'Leary of the
Maryland State Guard, who was
present.
The companay was reviewed by
Sam Marvey, aide to 1t. Col.
Caesar Aiello for the Southern
Maryland area, and Capt. Leland
Worthington, who is assisting in
recruiting the Minute Men and
has formed a company in Ber-
wyn. Capt. Worthington will also.
muster the headquarters company.
Mr.. Harvey addressed the COM
pany of the state of the Minute
Men, stating that 80 companies
had been formed in this area, with
prospects for further increase. 1t
was indicated that progress was
being made toward securing State
or county funds to secure uniforms
and equipment to outfit the COM
panies. The drill was terminated
with a 15-minute talk on the care
and cleaning of the service rife.
Capt. Bates, when interviewed
relative to the recent statement by
Civilian Defense Corps Comdr.
Arthur Rysticken on the lack of
military defense for Greenbelt
stated:
~ agree heartily with all Mr..
Rysticken said with one exception.
We do have military defense or
ganization in Greenbelt, which cer-
tainly will require all the assist
ance the C. d. C. can give in an
emergency to an armed defense
force. The Minute Men are being
expressly trained to serve that
purpose here as the reserve mi
litia. AS such a group We are
still preparing to serve the COM
munity, and as matter of fact,
we are open for an additional 40
enlistments to bring our company
up to maximum strength"

Beetle Campaign
Bringing Results

japanese beetles destroyed III
Greenbelt to date total 1,783,5 500,
of which 10000 are from the
traps and 990,500 have been COL
lected by children. Approximately
$40 of the $100 fund voted by the
Town Council has been paid out
to collectors of 283 quarts of
beetles at the rate of 25 cents
per quart. Angus MacGregor,
head gardner, expressed the belief
that the determination campaign
is bringing results and the num-
ber of beetles in town is on the
decline.
The beetles, which first appeared
in this country in New Jersey in
1916, have spread through the
New England States, south along
the Atlantic seaboard as far as
Georgia, and west to Michigan and
Illinois. These insects begin to
emerge in the second week of
June, are at their peak in July
and August and decrease until Oc-
tober when they disappear alto
gether.
Each female will lay 40 to so
eggs in a season, depositing them
in the soil where the eggs will
hatch in about two weeks and the
hatched larvae will lay in the soil
throughout the summer, feeding
on roots of grass and other plants.
In winter the larvae go deeper into
the soil, then return to surface
in the spring completing their
growth and Transforming into the
pupae and later the adult.
In addition to trapping, spray
ing and lawn treatments, certain
biological controls have been dis
covered which aid in destroying
the grubs. Two different species
of wasps, resembling winged ants,
are known to burrow into the soil
and lay their eggs on the beetle
larvae. Upon Matching, the para
site larvae feed on and destroys
the beetle grub before it develops
further. Also, virulent bacterial
disease has been developed to the
point that it is used as a stand
ardized inoculating material.

DOds0n Elected
To CHA Board

Sherrod East, chairman of the
board of directors of the Green
belt Health Association, an
nounced to the membership at it's
quarterly meeting, July %, that
the board had accepted the petit
tion which had been circulated for
the immediate return of DIR.
Samuel R. Berenberg, and that a
special meeting of the board would
be called within the week for the
purpose of taking action on the
petition.
DIR. Linden Dodson was elected
to the board to fill the vacancy
created by the resignation of
Stewart Dowrick.
Among changes in the bylaws
recommended by the board was
one relating to balloting by mail
in electing directors. The mem
bership voted to recommit the
proposed amendment to the legis-
lative committee for examination
of plans used by the town of
Greenbelt and other plans in use
in similar cases, and that the
amendment be rephrased to cover
the method and procedure to be
followed, SO that such method of
voting by mail be incorporated in
the bylaws. Also embodied in the
motion was the authorization to
refer the revised amendment back
to the membership at its next
quarterly meeting.
The membership defeated the
recommendation of the board
that the quarterly meeting be
eliminated and that an annual
meeting be substituted therefor.
The board recommended a fur
ther change in bylaws, substi-
tuting the straight majority vote
for the system now in effect in
the election of directors. After
much discussion, the membership
voted to maintain the system now
in use, and further that the word

G. c. a. Sets Dance
Schedule; Seeks
Hospital Here

At it's regular meeting Thurs
day, July 16, the executive council
of the Greenbelt Citizens Associa-
tion set up a tentative dance cal
endar for the year, and voted TO
send letters urging that the pro-
posed Prince Georges County Hos
pital be placed in Greenbelt.
Ways and Means Committee
Chairman James Smith reported
plans were completed for the MID
summer Dance to be held Satur-
day. August l, from 10 to l o'clock.
Jack King and his 5-piece orches-
ira and Rose Marie Schiller,
Washington night club entertainer,
will be featured in return per-
formances. Mr.. Smith was espe-
cially eager that persons in the
new defense homes would attend
in order that older residents could
become better acquainted with
them.
Publicity Suggested
Suggestions were made that
match folders be printed for dis
tribution containing the dance cal
endar for the year and other items
of interest. President Stanley
Ostler presented the possibility OF
having the program for the regu..
lar monthly meetings consist OF
one hour of business and a half
hour of lecture or entertainment.
Greenbelt Site Urged
Money has been appropriated
for the construction of 1OO-bed
hospital in Prince Georges County.
which is to aid in solution OF the
shortage of hospital facilities IN
the metropolitan area. Letters are
to be sent to the following mem
bers of the County Hospital Com
mittee: DR.. James Sasscer, DIR.
Martin Keane, William A. Carson,
w. F. Mulligan, and Frank Fler-
stien. =,
President Ostler Of the Citizens
Association stated that Greenbelt
should definitely be considered. as
possible location for the project
since it is one of the largest towns
in the county and within the pop
ulation center of the county.

School Buildi1lg II
Contract Wins b. -
WPB APPROVAL ~

Convinced that the GreenbeltS
schools would be crowded to twice
capacity upon complete occupancy
of the defense homes, the War
Production Board at last has ap-
proved the contract submitted by
Federal Public Housing Authority,
it was announced Monday by
Town Manager Roy Braden. Bids
should be asked for this week, he
added.
Final step in the effort to show
cause why Greenbelt should have
additional educational facilities,
was a letter to w. P. B. by Mr..
Braden, in which it was pointed
out that the Elementary School,
which is actually community
building, was originally intended
to accommodate 470 students, and
that at least 1000 are expected
when the new homes are filled. In
addition. it was pointed out, the
school building, operated financial
Iy by the town, is the only public
building for a town of potentially
7,O0O-larger than any other town
in Prince Georges County.
Not Before February
AS it takes several weeks after
bids are called for to begin con-
struction. and as the contract
specifies five months as actual con-
struction time, said Mr.. Braden, it
is highly improbable that the ad-
ditional facilities will be ready be-
fore February, 1943. Therefore,
he said, the school officials have
begun planning measures of run
ming the schools during the fall
term. Included are double shifts
for both schools, partitioning the
social room of the Elementary
School into class rooms for the
kindergarten, and the possible par
titioning of part of the auditorium,
leaving the balance, tree for public
naTHe - 'ThSs - - - !
Kathern Reed, principal, has
given assurance that all school
children will be under the SUPER
vision of teachers from 9 am. to
3 PM, regardless of the crowded
conditions of the school.

24O Defense Homes
May Open August Is

Forty-six buildings-or approx
mately 240 dwellings of the re-
naming 704 defense homes still
to be fnished-should be occupied
by August Is, Town Manager Roy
Braden said Monday. Qualifying
his statement, Mr.. Braden added
that the date of occupancy depends
upon completion of the roads.
The five-month delay for the
completion of this group, which
was originally supposed to have
been ready by March, has been,
according to Mr.. Braden, due to
the difficulties encountered in get
ting materials.
