Tin Can Collection
Needs Shot in Arm

Greenbelt's response to the tin
can collection made every Friday
morning has been disappointing,
according to Arthur Rysticken,
assistant community manager. In
addition the truck generally used
to collect the tin cans was divert
to snow removal last Friday, no
tin collection being made. This
held the total for two weeks COL
lection down to only 1900 pounds.
Residents of Greenbelt are
negligent about the tin can drive.
To emphasize this fact, Mr.. Ry-
sticken reported that from two to
three tons of tin are removed from
the incinerator every week. There
is no wav this much-needed tin
can be separated from the gar
bage when garbage collections are
made-and the tin is worthless
once it has gone through the in
cinerator.
All one has to do is: Open
both ends of the can, wash clean,
then step on it to flatten-and
place in box or paper bag. On
Thursday night or Friday morning
about $3.50 place the collection of
tin out on the roadway where it
will be picked up each Friday
morning around o'clock. Tin
can salvage is very important be-
cause it has a 100 per cent sal
wage value.

Fuel Oil Shortage
Requires Careful
Use Of Hot Water

In view of the continued short
age of fuel, Town Manager Roy
S. Braden has again suggested
that local residents continue to
lend their cooperation in conserv-
ing heat and hot water.
Mr.. Braden has announced that
by January 31st the town had
used its entire quota of fuel oil for
that period and about half of the
February allotment. In order that
some fuel be left for the purpose
of heating water during the sum-
mer months the temperature and
the period Of time when the furn-
aces are in operation have been
reduced. At present, heat is being
turned off in the apartments and
homes at 8 p. m. and in the mer-
camille buildings and the school at
6. Heat in the dwellings is start
ed again at a. m. and the other
buildings are heated two hours la
ter.
"We will not have as much hot
water as might be desired but we
will appreciate your cooperation
in doing everything possible to
help conserve heat in order that
we may be comfortable during the
remaining months" Mr.. Braden
also stated that further reduc-
tions may have to be taken at any
time to assure US of getting across
the cold weather line with ade-
quate heat.

For Town Gardens

Local gardeners are asked to be
patient with the seed catalogue
and the hoe as Assistant Town
Administrator Arthur L. Rystick-
en- has announced that all garden

ETC., and burn them or pile them

son who planted it last year will
be billed for the necessary work
expended in having it done.
Flowing Soon

titled to a garden area on the out
skirts of the town, but no inqui-
ries or reservations will be taken
in the local office until the letters
and applications have been mailed.
Before it is ready for assign
ment, the land must be plowed and
fertilized. Mr.. Rysticken states
this will be done as soon as wea-
ther permits.
All owners of permanent gar
dens will be required to register
them this year. No additional fee
will be charged for these gardens
but it is the only means of deter
mining which polts are being
worked and which may be as
signed.

Town Service
Flag Planned

A service flag for Greenbelt is
being planned by the Town Coun-
ell with the help and cooperation
of the Greenbelt American Legion
post, Town Manager Roy S. Bra
den announces.
Early last month authorization
was given by the Council for the
project. The cost of the flag and
a plaque listing the names of all
Greenbelters who are in the arm
ed services will be borne by the
town. Members of the Legion
post will canvass the town within
a few weeks in order to list and
count the men. Mr.. Braden esti-
mates that the total will run well
over 600, since large number of
the families in the newer defense
