"WelI, the conductor came
around tO take up the tickets
and this friend Of mine gave him
a token he had besides his last
quarter. So when the conductor
asked the old lady for her ticket,
She said she didn't have one.
Well. Harvey didn't want 10 see
a scene made, 40 he paid her
fare. Well. instead OF thanking
him. the old lady wanted the 90
cents change he got back. Kept
after him for IL until he gave

The new cook stopped for a min.
ute and looked intently at the
stoves. We wondered if his story
had finished. Finally he resumed il
well. when this friend of
mine got up TO get off the bus
at his stop, he saw that the old
lady had left fancy-wrapped
package like gift or something
behind her when she had got up.
He took the package.

Point Rationing To Start

Items which come under the
new point rationing program
canned and processed fruits, vege-
tables, and juices cannot be sold
during the week of February %
when registration for Ration Book
No. 2 will take place. Housewives
should buy their requirements of
these items in advance. The Food
Stores are well stocked at present.
Thomas B. Kicker, general mana
ger of Greenbetl Consumer Seryi-
ces, assures US.
The dual job of checking and
collecting coupons as well as
money will complicate life at the
food stores. eve may need a
traffic cop," said Tom Kicker with
a worried smile. A good deal will
depend upon customers and
clerks knowledge of what's going
on. Details of the plan aren't yet
clear but will be carried in full by
daily newspapers as soon as they
are announced. Prince Georges
County Rationing Board has
promised to train a group of vol
unteers to explain things in the
store during the first week or so.
The shopper should count points

Town Fair Gets
Consideration

Early consideration of the pos
sibility of holding a town fair this
fall was decided upon by the
Greenbelt Town Council at its
meeting last Monday night. May
or Allen d. Morrison sponsored
the resolution which requires that
the Mayor write to local civic or
ganlzatlons to determine whether
they want to revive the annual
event and whether they are will
ing to do the work necessary to
make the project successful.
Although the town fair would
not be held until late in August
the council agreed that organiza-
tIons willing to participate should
make their feelings known at the
April IL meeting of the council.
In previous years one of
Greenbelt's most successful events,
the town fair was not held last
year for reasons variously as
cribed to lack of volunteer work.
ers, inadequate planning and ex-
cessive war time working hours.
Appropriation Vote
After some discussion, an Or
dinance introduced by Town Man
ager Roy S. Braden appropriating
$4570.00 from the available sur
plus remaining from last year
was passed with one dissenting
vote. Items appropriated by the
ordinance included $1,000 for en-
ergency civilian defense, $500 for
police radio, and salary increas-
es for several town employees.
Council George F. Bauer, who
cast the negative vote, objected to
passing legislation of this sort on
the same night it was introduced.
Additional data necessary in
the efforts to obtain a town hospi-
tai were submitted to the U. S.
Public Health Service, it was re-
ported at the council meeting.
Assistant Town Manager Ar
thur L. Rysticken reported that
the last of the scrap metal collec-
ted several months ago had been
sold to a dealer who plans to COL
lect it within a few days. The
scrap metal brought total of
$72.00 which will be used for civ
ilian defense purposes.

Town Orchestra
Makes Debut

Greenbelt is now the possessor
of a concert orchestra, chiefly
through the efforts of Borah
Deutschman and Walter Slocomb.
Although there are only 19 men,
bers in the orchestra, including
Mr.. Deutschman, the conductor,
many more musicians are expected
to enroll as soon as the orchestra
comes into its own.
Last Sunday at the first re-
hearsal meeting of the players the
conductor voiced the feeling of all
present by remarking, "Since /
have been in Greenbelt, l have
never enjoyed myself more than /
am enjoying myself at this mo-
ment." He also stated that he
felt the orchestra played extreme
ly well considering that most of
the members have not recently
practiced on their instruments;
some for as long as two or three
years. Most of the players have
never played professionally but
are interested in music for the
sake of pursuing some interesting
and enjoyable hobby.
Varied Music
At the present time, the orch
estra has enough music available
to present an interesting and var
led program. When other men,
bers are added to the organiza-
tion, many selections will be add
ed to the repertoire.
Among those present at the
first rehearsal were Borah Deut-
schman, conductor; Samuel Got
tesman, William E. Ransom, T.
Osman, and Mike S. Owen vio-
Inns; Clarke George, flute; James
P. Brittle. flute and piccolo; Rich
ard F. Stuart, Emmet r. Griggs,
and Louis Sherer, saxophones; w.
Roy Nicodemus, piano (cello later
on); Seymour Levine and Carl T.
Meuse. trumpet; Eugene Gishwill-
er, trombone; c. R. Dupree, Frank
c. Maisack, Jr., and Donald E.
Nocodemus, clarinets; R. A. Sni-
der, bass violin. Walter Slocomb,
not present at the rehearsal, plays
the piano or drums.
More Needed
Though the turnout was large
enough for a successful rehearsal,
the orchestra still has openings
for many more players. String
instruments are especially need
ed. All players. men or women,
who can play an instrument fair
ly well are urged to join the
group if they are interested in
helping this town produce a con-
cert orchestra of which they can
feel proud. The players voted to
meet on Sundays at 800 o'clock
promptly in the social room of the
Elementary School.

New Book on
Children

"The Attractive Child" by
Constance L. Foster, recently
published by the Garden City
Publishing Co, has a delightful
foreword by that eminent author
ity on children, Angelo Patri.
Mr.. Patri firmly believes that
beauty and attractiveness are
far more to be desired for a
youngster than riches or power,
for. as he puts it, beauty wins
her way and maintains it, while
riches fail to do either"
Here, then, if you are a far
seeing mother, is a guide to
achieving this valuable possess
sion for your child Mrs. Foster
has consulted the leading author

dermatology, posture and body

niques for preserving and de-
veloping your child's attractive
ness are provided in this book,
and presented in such clear
and simple manner that the
suggestions are easy to follow.
No longer do mothers have to
accept with a sigh of resigna-
ton the homely child, the child
with an unfortunate personality,
or even the child with physical
defOrmities. Modern science and
research have made it possible
to wave a magic wand over
nearly every ugly duckling, and
turn it into a swan. B. G.,

Erik's Collection
Shown Locally

"Substitutions in millinery are
not yet necessary" said Erik, but
the creative mind must prepare
for them nonetheless." This is
one of the important themes
around which the well-knoWn hat
designer has built his new collec-
tion-a collection to be shown in
Washington through tomorrow
afternoon.
Recognizing that the rich fab
RIGS and materials for which he is
famous may become limited, Erik
has experimental with stand
ms and with great success. In
cluded in the spring array is a
tiny, forward-tilted Easter bon
net edged with a paper dolly that
has been lacquered to make it
Water-reSiStant. Also interesting
is hat and bag set of bright
green raffia-that's the stuff they
use for artificial grass. There
are sailors trimmed with uphol-
stery cord and one made entirely
of cane seating!
However, Erik's interesting
presentation is not only composed
Of substitutes. There are new
satins, felts and straWs, flower
trimmed or sWathed in yelling.
Through the collection runs a
definite Greek influence seen in
colorS such as Aegean blue,
Olympian red and Athenian vio-
let, and in silhouettes such as a
tassel-trimmed beret like that
worn by the Royal Guard. Even
the fluffy malines hats suggest
the ballet skirts worn by Greek
soldiers. H. V.

having made their sons and daugh-
ters respect their judgment and
trust their Kindness and good will
so much that they are willing to
be guided by them.
Then I hope 1t will make many
middle-aged man and woman re-
member again their own youth and
all the foolish little things that
made them so happy and the
equally silly things that broke their
hearts. I hope they will remember
how their feet ached to dance and
how excited they were over their
first bicycle and how they felt they
might just as well lie down and die
and be done with it in a world so
full of disappointments if it rained
on the day they were going to a
picnic and how crushingly humili-
ated they were if mother or father
insisted on taking them to the
party, instead Of letting them 60
alone as if they were groWnups.
There is no other safeguard you
can throw around children that Is
so potent as the memory of a happy
home and cooperative parents. II
boys and girls know that their
fathers and mothers are anxious for
them to have every pleasure, they
listen when father and mother
say no"
And I hope it will make many
parents realize the folly of trying
to protect their children against
temptation. 1t can't be done. At
every turn of the road temptation
is waiting for the youngsters and
the thing to do is to teach them to
recognize it and to resist it. Ig-
norance isn't innocence. 1t merely
digs the pit into which innocence
stumbles.
Mothers and fathers can't go
through life holding their children
by the hand. They have got to be
on their own, sooner or later, and
then they will fall or stand, accord
ing to what they have been taught,
not from what they have been kept
from knowing about. When Sally
goes TO WOlk, HOtlleI can 1OllOW
her into q business Office, but she
can wise her up to married bosses
who are flirtatious. Mother can't
stop petting parties, but she can
teach Jane to have some respect for
her own lips. Father can't suppress
the liquor traffic, or eliminate bad
women, but he can put his son on
his guard against them. And
parents can do a lot to dispel the
allure of forbidden fruit by not
forbidding it, but by letting the chill
dren see that it isn't SO sweet after
all and that it leaves an awful bad
taste in the mouths of those who
| eat it.
And, finally, I hope this girls
story will make parents see that
they can't make children good by
force They have got to rule by love
and not by fear and hate. If they
want their children to stay in the
home, they have got to make home
attractive instead of a dungeon.
| Otherwise when they lock the door,
the youngsters climb out of the VIM
dow and the big, bad wolves devour
| them,

| Why
|Old?
By Josephine LosCman

When you have been absent from
loved ones for a long time you see
them more clearly, with more OBJ
jective view. This does not mean
that you love them less. In fact,
they probably look dearer to you,
but they look more like individuals
they did when you were so close to
hem day after day.
Women who have men in the
Army should remember this. They
should realize that their men have
been trained to stand strain with
out showing it, to make sacrifices
without tears, that they have learned
to restrain their emotions more
than they did when you were so
close to them day after day.
Therefore, although your heart IS
heavy with goodbys and separation,
make his visit stand out with sheer
loneliness and charm, happy inter-
lude in a grim existence. Don't neg
lect yourself during his absence.
The tissues about the eyes show
strain first. This is because the
skin is not SO well padded with fatty
deposits and muscles as the rest of
face and is, therefore, more likely
to draw and line. Every woman
who is past very early youth should
use special eye cream on these
tissues.
This cream should be applied at
night and left on. 1t can also be
used on the lids in the daytime with
a soft deWy effect. When you apply
eve cream, never rub it in. Use a
gentle patting motion all around
the eyes, under them end over the
lid. This is beneficial because OF
Its softening effect and also be-
cause the patting brings an extra
measure Of blood to this area.

Heavy Parent Is OutmOded Today
Thinning Adosen Respect and Trust Their Control

The other day there was q tragic
and pitiful story in the papers OF a
young girl who had run away from
home to escape from q stern father,
| gotten in with a gang of thieves and
murderers and who was arrested for
at least having guilty knowledge of
their crimes.
The girl came from a decent and
respectable family. The father was
a good man and a good father, &C
cording to his lights. Probably he
thought he was keeping his children
unspotted from the world by making
them prisoners in home that was
nothing but Jail and denying them
all the pleasures Of youth. They
were never allowed to go to any
place of amusement, not even a
movie. They dared not stop on
the way home from school to buy
a glass of soda They could neither
visit nor be visited by any of their
friends. And they had to be in
bed and the lights out by 9 o'clock
every night.

home when he was II and went to

little heroine of this story followed

of her the best he could, but she
was starved for pleasure, for excite

the first freedom she had ever
known and there was no holding
her. She went the limit. She
plunged into dissipation that made
her old in sin before she was old
in years. And before she was 20
she had wrecked herself in soul and
