Tin Can Collection !.
Drops to 1920 lbs.

Tin can salvage dropped to
1920 pounds last Friday, but it
was expected by town officials
that the total would swing back
up to nearly 1000 pounds for the
weekly average as soon as resi-
dents acquired the habit of clean
ing and flattening their cans.
The District of Columbia Sal
wage Committee sent a letter of
compliments to Greenbelt on the
condition of it's cans which have
been hauled to the salvage pro-
cessing center in Washington each
Friday after the collection is COM
pleted here.
Town employees who made the
Friday morning can collection re-
ported that many containers of
cans were not placed at the edge
of the street until late Friday, af-
ter the pickup had been made.
eve can't go back a second time,"
they explained. Cans must be
placed at the edge of the street
by $3.50 a. m. There were also
reports that about half of Green
belts precious cans are still going
into the garbage cans or in boxes
in the trash closets. Salvage op-
erations are impossible unless the
tin-plate containers are rinsed,
stripped of the label, cut open at
both ends, and flattened.

New Course i'm Nutrition
Begins Here February a

The Department of Adult Edu-
cation has announced that the new
class in nutrition will have it's
first meeting Thursday, February
in the home economics room of
the Elementary School at 8 p. m.
This is a new course in nutrition
and not continuation of the one
started in the fall.
Those persons who have earned
nutrition certificates in previous
courses are permitted, under the
Red Cross regulations, to take the
canteen course which will begin
Monday, February l.
The general objectives of the
courses are to train lay volunteers
to assist in the National Nutrition
Program, to assist in family and
group feeding under emergency
conditions as well as to prevent an
overall understanding of nutri-
ton.
Mrs. Josephine F. Mcclure, who
conducts both the nutrition and
canteen courses suggests that
there is a distinct need for canteen
workers and that those persons
who are interested in doing this
type Of work enroll in the nutri-
ton course, or, if they already
have completed the elementary nu-
triton course, that they enroll
for the canteen class.

Bus to BeltSville
will Not Be Tried

Little possibility of a means of
public transportation to Beltsville
was held out at last Mondays
meeting of the Town Council des-
pite Paul Hennesey's plea that the
school bus could be used to carry
Greenbelters to and from the ex-
perimental farm. Pointing out
that several war agencies now
have offices in Beltsville and that
dwindling private cars are the
only means of transportation, Mr..
Hennesey proposed that the school
bus make one trip in the morning
and one after work.
Assistant Town Manager Ar
thnur L. Rysticken explained that
the basic town charter would have
to be revised to permit the Town
to start such an enterprise. In
addition, Town Manager Roy S.
Braden pointed out that the
school bus is not licensed to drive
on state roads and that it is in
very bad mechanical condition at
the present time.
Other councilmanic discussion
centered on the deterioration of
the bus service to Washington,
Mayor Allen d. Morrison telling
of many instances of people being
left at the Mt. Rainier terminal.
One councilman suggested that
having the busses run only to
Branchville. but on a more fire.
quent schedule, might alleviate the
situation.
Plans for the Towns participa-
tiol in the Mile of Dimes collec-
ton were laid out in broad out
lines. Collection in the local thea
ter is planned and containers will
be placed in the stores.

NewFrosted Foods
'aaaervice To Start
#
/ q I Both Stores

Frosted foods will be available
at Greenbelt's Food Stores start
ing next week, Thomas B. Kicker,
general manager, has announced.
Frosted food refrigerating cases
have been purchased second hand,
are being adapted for self-service
and will be installed probably
Monday or Tuesday Just how the
33-inch case will be squeezed
through the 311a inch doors or
windows in the Laurel Hill Store
remains a mystery as the Coop
orator goes to press. but, says
Tom Kicker, we'll get it I'M"
This will be the first time the
Coop has carried frosted foods.
Several years ago the addition of
frosted foods was considered, and
after careful study it was decided
not to carry them. Tests COM
pairing price, taste. and time of
preparation of fresh, canned, and
frosted foods indicated that the
fresh quality and convenience of
the frosted foods aid not compen-
safe for the price Of the differen-
tial. No such exhaustive study
has been made recently, but the
present decision was felt to be
warranted by the change in price
relationships, the increased value
of time, and the uncertainty OF
canned food supplies.
