Players Offer Army
Special Performance

A special performance of the
high school production "Skidding"
which played to an enthusiastic
S. R. O. audience at it's opening
last night-will be presented in a
special performance for about 125
soldiers from Beltsville Satusdaa
night at the Elementary
auditorium. A second publI
formance is scheduled for to- -
Special rights were received by
wire late this week from the New
York owners of the production
rights, permitting the third per-
formance, for soldiers only.
Following the play, the Recrea-
tion Department, under the di-
rection of Ben Goldfaden, and
with the aid of two other civic
organizations, will sponsor a
dance for the visitors.
Cooperating with the Depart
ment will be the Women's Club
which will again provide refresh
ments for the occasion, and the
Citizens Association which will
provide the band.
Mr., Goldfaden announced that
all girls who were invited as host
esses for the last soldiers dance
are again welcome to attend this
dance. A list of these girls will
be at the door so that they will not
need to present their invitations.
A group of girls from Washing
ton are also being invited to at
tend as hostesses. Other local
girls who would like to attend
may contact the Department of

Final Call for Feeder
Band Registration

Final registrations for member
ship in the Feeder Band will be
accepted in room 224 Of the Ele-
mentary School from 7 to 9:30 o.
clock this evening, according TO
S. Hartford Downs, president Of
the Parents Board of the Green
belt Community Band.
Mr.. Downs stressed the point
that some parents do not realize
that the town has a number of in
struments which will be loaned to
children who are interested in
learning to play them. The only
obligation on the part of parents
is to see that the children take
good care of the instruments.
The purpose of the Feeder Band
is to train children to play musi-
cal instruments so they can be
graduated" into the Greenbelt
Community Band when they have
shown sufficient progress to keep
up with other members of the
band.

Application Office
On Southway Closed

The office at IA Southway
which was set-up to handle appli
cations for the defense homes will
be moved to the administration
office in the center of town on
Monday, according to Mary Jane
Kinzer, supervisor of family sell
ection.
Due to the large number of
registrations which we're being re-
ceived for the defense homes it
was necessary to provide more
space than was available in the
administration building so the
Defense Office" was established
to relieve the load of the regular
family selection office.
The staff of the temporary Of
fee is a part of the regular sell
ection office and includes Fred
Ryerse and Miss Ann Comproni.

Food Rationing Hits
Tin Can Collection

A thousand pounds of tin were
collected last week by local main
tenance men, according to Arthur
L. Rysticken, assistant community
manager. With more people using
fresh vegetables and buying less
canned goods, Mr.. Rysticken
pointed out this week the added
Importance of "every person saw
ing every can" for the salvage
drive.
He also stated that persons who
do not have boxes or cans in
which to place their tin cans may
put them in a paper bag and leave
them along the roadway Friday
mornings. The maintenance men
will have box in which to put
the paper bags so that they are
not included with the cans when
they are sent to the "de-tinning"
factory.

Keep Monday Open
For Coop Party

The Coop Party is coming off
from eight to ten thirty in the
auditorium of Greenbelt Element
ary School. A movie, an original
skit, games, singing and refresh
ments are on the program. All
Greenbelt is invited to get better
acquainted with itself and each
other.
Games will start the evening
rolling at eight. They'll be varied,
old and new ones, the sitting down
variety and the running around
sort. After a good warm-up the
festive crowd will gather round
and see and hear the two-reel
sound movie of the Coop Con-
gress in Minneapolis last year.
Singing will cover up the ron-
fusion of getting set for the skit.
The skit itself is entitled "Thun-
deration", which means anything
or everything. After the. skit
there'll be just enough games to
get appetites in proper condition
for the refreshments which1l be
served at ten.

New Raid Signals
Cause Confusion:
WardellS Needed

The practice air raid held last
Tuesday afternoon, as far as
Greenbelt was concerned, was not
so good. To begin with, there
We're not sufficient wardens on
daytime duty to cover entirely
the areas of town. Many wardens
are needed for this daytime duty
and men and women who are at
home during daylight hours are
requested to sign up with Chief
George Panagoulis.
lt seems that there still remains
a great deal of uncertainty as to
what to do-and on what signal to
do it. For those folks who are
certain of the instructions they
are repeated here: Blue Signal
is long single blast denoting that
planes are approaching the area.
Residents are permitted to walk
the streets, automobiles can pro-
ceed~ twenty miles an hour
and during the evening, all homes
must be blacked out completely.
Red Signal--a series of short
repeated blasts lasting two minutes
denotes that planes are either over
ne ad or rapidly approaching
striking distance of the town. All
residents must seek shelter, get
off the streets, all automobiles
must pull over to the curb and
drivers seek shelter.
Blue SigaaIa long single blast
will again be sounded and resi-
dents will again be permitted to
walk the strets but home lights
must still remain blackened out.
Au-Ctear Signal - no audible
signal for the all-clear has, as vet,
been announced. However, during
the evening the all-clear will be
given over the radio and the
street lights will go on. During
the daytime, residents will be
notified Of the all-clear over the
fadio. ''
Mistakes Observed
Due to the lack of wardens to
patrol all areas several violations
of the air-raid law were observed.
The local bus. remained stationary
during the blue signal-when it
could have proceeded at the estab-
ilshed rate of 20 miles per hour
and started out of the station when
the red signal blew-when all veh-
icles must stop wherever they are
and pull over to the curb.
The Elementary School children
were led from the school to the
apartment house shelter on the
blue signal. However, when the
red signal denoting planes over
head was sounded, the children
were led back to the school-when
they should have remained at the
shelter.

Point-Rationinq
Gets OF To a
Cautious Start

Though the flrSt three days of
this week may not be typical, the
staff of the food store now knows
about what to expect of point ra-
tioning. Decreased grocery sales
with compensating increases in
the produce department, and nee
essarily slowed up service at the
checking counter indicate the ad-
justments which will have to be
made.
Payday Complications
Monday started off slowly, even
for a Monday. There was angat-
naosphere of "ration-consciouss
ness" which prevailed throughout
the morning. Quite a few shop
pers were there admittedly "to
look things over today and cpme

Late Monday = afternoon the.
lines were stretching , all the way
back to the dairy sease, but 1pon4
analysis it developedsSthat much,
perhaps most, of the delay at this
time was due to payday check
cashing rather than rationing.
. Tuesday was hot and heavy
throughout. in typical day-after-
payday fashion. Checkers scarce
ly dared look up at the lines bear
ing down upon them.
Sales in the grocery department
were down, while sales in the pro-
duce department made very sub
stantial increase. Grocery sales
for the first two days of March
were $1,849.88 as compared with
$2,103.80 for the first two days in
February. Produce sales for
these days were $4,000 for the
first two March days as compared
with $382.18 for the correspond
ing days in February.
Few Hitches
Consumers seemed to be grasp
giug the program quickly with
/ few hitcfes, volunteers at tie

ported. Questions were asked,
but not enough to keep them busy.
All are dreading the extended
lines which are to be expected
this weekend. Customers are
urged to save their own and other
peoples time by having every
thing ready by the time they get
to the checking counter. Specific
suggestions are listed on the back
page of this weeks Cooperator.

Victory Gardens
To Be Popular
This Season

The rate at which applications
for garden plots were being re-
ceived at the administration office
this week indicates that more
Greenbelt people than ever before
are planning to raise some of
their own vegetables, according to
Arthur Rysticken, assistant COM
munity manager. Application
blanks were mailed out late last
week.
Town officials feel this is ma
S tural reflection of the victory
garden campaign and the more
recently announced point-ration
sing system.
C Those persons who have been
''assi gned permanent garden plots
S~ihV previous years must register
them this year by March 18th, it
Viz understood. If not registered
.by that date the area will be as
signed to some other applicant.
Nominal Fees
For all garden areas allotted
there will be a $1.00 charge. In
addition, an agreement must be
signed permitting the Administra-
tion Office to add a $500 charge
to the holders rent bill if he does
not clear off his garden within one
month after the growing season
has ended. No registration charge
will be made to those holders of
permanent gardens who have con-
scientiously cultivated their areas.
Plots 80 by so feet may be as
signed to Say person living within
the corpF .oe limits of Greenbelt,
and if there is an excess of plots,
a second area will be assigned to
those applicants who can prove
their ability to cultivate it prop
erly.
Applicants may indicate their
choice of location of their plots
from among the following areas:
Rapport property tfoot of North
way); Crabbe property (east of
Block D.; old garden site (oppo-
site Block C); Smith property
NEW site opposite airport and
Boyle property lat American Le-
gion Home) Mr.. Rysticken states
that in cases where it is possible
the applicants choice of location
will be granted.
Call at Office
Any person who did not receive
an application form may obtain
one by calling at the administra-
tion office.
Mr.. Rysticken states that the
garden plots will be assigned next
week.
The gardens have not yet been
plowed, due to the soft ground,
but blowing will be done at the
earliest possible date.
"Anyone caught tampering with
another's garden plot will be pro-
secuted to the fullest extent. I'm
der the present food shortage,
petty garden thievery has become
a serious offense, similar to tire
theft" the assistant community
manager claims.
