These veterans, continued Mr.
Scroggs. are completely interview
ed and their registrations are sent
to their home town or where they
wish to seek employment. This re-
gistratlon is taken prior to the
soldiers discharge in order that
the registration may be at the SOL

Upon the. receipt of this card
the local office writes him at his

has been very gratifying to the
Wilmington office as of the 344O
placements made in the Whining

Grams of World War l or 2.
About Is of the above number
were World War 2 veterans. The
remainder were World War l vet

these veterans.
The local employment office as

the load of World War 2 men to

Present Sponsors At
Half Time 49,.

The wildcats worked out under
the lights at Legion Stadium We'd
nesday evening for the first time
since the dim-out regulations were
invoked here more than year ago.
Coach Bryan, little dubious as
tc how the lights would effect his
team. was well satisfied with the
outcome of the practice session.
The Cats offensive tactics were
clicking smoothly. augmented by
the return of Dyches to the plung-
ing back spot. However, Bill
Auld who has been on the side
lines most of the current season
with injuries. will not dress for
Fridays contest and the appear
ance of Bill McIlwain. veteran

limited to attempted conversions.
One of the highlights of Friday 5
game will be the performance OF
the high school R. O. T. c. unit.
Each of the four companies will
present a sponsor and the entire
unit will parade before the crowd

Minute Men Resume
Regular Drilling Night

After a two-week recess for the
holidays Company 924, Maryland
Minute Men, resume their Tuesday
night drills next week on Janu-
ary 5, Captain Harry Bates
announces.
During recent periods of ex-
treme weather the Greenbelt
company has been supplementing
it's regular drill, field maneuvers,
and rife practice with motion pic
lures of various subjects in the
military training program.
Captain Bates revealed that due
to enlistments in the regular
armed forces and other transfers
out of Greenbelt there are vacan-
cies in the local "home guard"
company. Volunteers should re-
port Tuesday night at 8 o'clock at
the company headquarters next to
the boiler room of the Elementary
School.
Itwas stressed by Captain Bates
that the Minute Men will be called
to duty only in case of extreme
emergency such as an invasion or
sabotage threat, and that service
would be in the home community.
The program was organized at the
direction of Governor Herbert
O'Conor last spring as third line
of American defense made up of
volunteers who would serve while
carrying on their regular jobs and
other community activities.

Head-on Collision

Bud Zoellner and Vance Harri-

Hospital at Bethesda from injur-
les sustained early Christmas
morning when the car in which
they were riding coIlided with a
trailer-truck on the Baltimore Pike
near College Park.
Mr.. Zoellner, who was driving,
received a broken leg, and Mr.,
Harrison sustained shattered
knee. fractured jaw, and cuts.
The accident occurred between 2
and 2:30 am. as the two men were
returning to Greenbelt after at
tending midnight Christmas Mass
in Hyattsville.
The car and truck collided al
most head-on in a strip of fog
which had settled over the highway.
The left front ends of both We
hicles were badly smashed by the
impact. The accident was termed
unavoidable" by Hyattsville police
who made the investigation.
"Both men are out of danger and
are getting along fine, though they
will be in the hospital for some
time yet," Mrs. Oscar Zoellner
stated this week.

Demands May Force Federal
Approval for Nelo Store Here

G. C. S. finally obtained the
necessary funds and submitted
much-curtailed plans for the new
store last summer WPB turned
down the project.
Since then numerous steps
have been taken to enlarge facili-
ties of the existing stores, and va
rious proposals have been consid-
cred for better shopping service
for the new Greenbelters. One
suggestion made by several resi-
dents who find themselves nearly
a mile from the present shopping
center is to have one of the ex-
isting houses remodeled for the
handling of limited stock of sta
Piles. This would require only a
minimum amount of money and
construction material and could
be done quickly. Meats and per-
ishables could not be handled for
lack of refrigeration, but canned
and packaged foods as well as
Variety Store and Drug Store
items could be provided for local
shopping service.
For Board Consideration
1t is learned that such a pro-
posal has been brought to the at
tention of the directors of G. C.
S. and that if the plan proves at
all feasible, it may be put into eff
feet at an early date. Several
new residents have indicated their
intention of bringing the matter
to the floor of the Citizens Asso-
citation meeting Monday night in
hopes of securing wider support
for presenting the plan to Federal
authorities who will have to ap-
prove such move.
Frank Lastner, G. G. S. presi-
dent, gave the Cooperator assur-
ances that wlile the management
and the board of directors seem
to have exhausted all possibilities
to date nevertheless they stood
ready ID put into operation any
arrang aent (which wo4ld pAovide

will be devoted to large number
OF community problems, Presi-
dent Walter Slocomb announces,
The meeting will start at 8 pm.
in the Auditorium of the Ele-
mentary School for all residents,
Mrs. Mary Jane Kinzer, direct
or of education for the town, will
be present to explain the program
planned for the next semester of
night classes. Facilities for reg
lstering for these classes will be
available at the meeting. Mr.. Slo-
comb pointed out that this would
be an epportune time for Green
belters to indicate what classes
were desired in addition to those
already listed by Mrs. Kinzer.
Bus Service
Transportation to Washington
is expected to get some kind of
action by the association. 1t is
understood that several residents
have informed the president they
intend to ask support for a shell
ter at the Branchville transfer
point and for another attempt to
get a loop bus service within
Greenbelt. New residents in the
northern area of town will be
particularly interested in this
proposition.
One part of the evenings
agenda will be given over to a
brief analysis of the associations
committee system in an effort to
make it more effective. Several
vacancies are to be filled next
week, President Slocomb indi-
Gated.
Following the business meeting
Greenbelters will join in old-fash-
ioned square dancing with How
ard Custer as the caller. Mem
bers of former folk dance group

ent, and men and women who are
new to the entertainment will be

The appointment of Thomas B.
Jeffries as assistant to the gen.
eral manager of Greenbelt Con-

Mr.. Jeffries and Mr.. Mathers,

ager and assistant manager of the

duties last Monday.

of general store operations, and
win continue to remain close to the
Food Store in a supervisory cap
acity. Mr.. Mathers will take over
the usual management functions
of the Food Store.

By DONALD H. COOPER

Increasing demands for shop
ping center or at least a store in
the new defense homes area at
the north end of town were seen
this week as strong enough to
force the hand of Greenbelt Con-
sumer Services and the Town Ad-
ministration. Over the barriers
erected by refusal of the War
Production Board to approve the
original store plans for the north
ern area some makeshift may be
provided as result of pressure
from new residents.
No Funds
No structure was provided for
commercial services when the new
homes were built even though the
present store facilities were de-
signed to take care of a popula-
tion of about 1000. The Lanham
Act which provided funds for the
new houses carried only limited
financial aid for community serv-
ices, and Greenbelt Consumer
Services, the consumer coopera-
tive which manages all of the
local stores, lacked the capital to
erect the buildings needed. In
addition G. C. S. was confronted
with restrictions and red tape in
meeting the requirements of
Farm Security Administration and
the Works Project Administratio
for construction. When these
hurdles had been overcome and

Toboggan Slide Will Be
Ready for Next Snowfall

Assurances were given this week
that the toboggan slide would be
checked for safety before the
next snowfall. The wooden bridge
at the bottom of the slide had
rotted into disrepair during the
last summer and autumn months.
Town Officials said directions
for repair of the little bridge had
been given some time ago but that
shortage of labor had delayed
work on it.
The slide parallels a pole line
and drops sharply in a 250-yard
run from the tip Of A block in
the west end of town to the
east inlet of the lake. New resi-
dents can find the slide behind
the houses of 8 Crescent Road, or
by going out Crescent Road and
turning left at the tip Of the lake.
