Hospital Data Gees
10 Federal Agency

Further progress was made this
week toward the goal of obtaining
hospital facilities for Greenbelt.
In response to a request from the
U. S. Public Health Service, Town
Manager Roy Braden submitted a
detailed summary to assist the
Federal agency in determining the
hospital needs of the community.
Mr.. Braden's report, addressed
to DR.. H. R. Sandstead, summar-
lied Greenbelt's previous ex-
perience in the operation of it's
own hospital, and pointed out
that much of the equipment is
already on hand for use in the
new hospital. Due to the present
increased size of Greenbelt and
inadequate ambulance facilities it
was recommended that considera-
tion should be given at least to a
20-bed hospital.
"We believe that it is very es-
sential that the hospital be re-
opened because our population has
more than doubled because of the
1000 additional homes and be-
cause the hospital situation in
the Metropolitan area has been
proven to be inadequate td take
care of the needs of the Time,
Mr.. Braden's report concluded.
"Our rooms are attractive; our
equipment is practically new and
the building is conveniently loca-
ted and the Town Of Greenbelt
respectfully asks your help in any
way possible in bringing about a
reopening of the Greenbelt Hospi-
tal."

Airplane spoilers will not be so
cold these evenings as they carry
on at the observation post over
the drug store, as a result of ac-
tion taken at the regular semi
monthly meeting of the Defense
Council Monday night. The

of a new heater and directed that
repairs be made on the door of
the lookout post.
With the promise of more COM
Portable "spotting" conditions Cy-
ril Turner, chief observer, was
hoping that more Greenbelt wom-
en- would respond to an appeal for
them to volunteer as observers.
"There is an urgent need for
women to assist in this vital part
of the home defense in coopera-
ting with the Aircraft Warning
Service. Two hours per week are
asked Of those who are willing to
participate. "In addition to the
heater, the post is equipped with
raincoats and boots for the spot
ters' comfort" Mr.. Turner stated.
Greenbelt women who can par
ticipate in this work are requested
to contact Mrs. Cutsail, 2-E Gar
denway, or Mrs. j. W. Schultheis,

Fuel Case Stated
By Town Manager

With the immediate prospect
of a second 10 percent reduction
in the fuel oil quota for Green
belt, Town Manager Roy Bra
den addressed an appeal this week
for further cooperation from all
persons occupying oil-heated
homes. Manager Braden's state
ment follows:
Fellow Citizens of Greenbelt:
Sometime ago We sent all per-
sons living in those homes in
Greenbelt which are heated with
oil request setting forth certain
conditions regarding heating the
homes.
"It gives US a great deal of
satisfaction to note the coopera-
tion We have received from most
of our people in the request we
sent out; however, we have not
received 100 percent cooperation
from everyone and, partly as a
result of that and also because of
the amount of cold weather we
have had, We have over-used our
quota of oil for the first two
periods ending January 4th. In
addition to this fact we have now
been notified that there will be a
still further 10 percent reduction
in the amount of fuel oil we will
receive in the future and this
means that greater sacrifices will
have to be made.
"In addition u our original re-
quest, we are now asking your
cooperation in still further heat
ing conservation. 1t will help a
great deal if shades and draperies
are drawn when darkness falls.
When windows are closed, please
have the locks fastened as this
serves to make them fit tighter
and keeps out the cold.
at may be necessary to have
the heat cut off during part of
the day and we do not wish to
have this condition develop if it
can be averted because it will be
most uncomfortable for all of us.
1t means that those who have
been complying with our request
would have to suffer on the same
basis as those who have ignored
with regulations.
eve would like to add also that

Weekly Collections

Collections thereafter will be
made weekly on Friday mornings
by town employees with town
trucks. Cans will have to be
placed in containers at locations
facing the streets to be picked
up. All cans must be clean and
flattened.
Mr.. Braden expressed regret at
the delay which had followed the
Town Councils directive to start
tin can salvage operations. In a
statement for publication he said,
"Due to the shortage of man
power which has caused a delay
in the regular schedule of trash
and garbage collections, we ask
your cooperation in this new pro-
gram by observing the following
regulations:
81. Effective as of Friday,
January Is, 1943, tin can collec-
tions will be made once each week
on Friday mornings.
"2. All cans must be washed,
labels removed, the ends cut out
and placed inside, and the cans
flattened by being stepped upon.
$50. Place cans in a box, large
can, or some other container that
will not blow away and put it,
before $3.50 o'clock each Friday
morning, at the side of the road.
This does not mean at the courts
but at the side of the main street
or road as we do not have man
power, as stated above, to go into
the courts to make these collec-
tions.
"a. Please collect the con-
tainers during the day on Friday
and place them in your home as
the collectors will not have time
to do this. Do not place these
cans in paper bags.
"5. Do not mix any paper, ref
use or garbage with these cans as
they must be kept separate.
&c. Please observe the above
regulations and by so doing, CO.
operate with our government in
its demand for additional tin. Our
little effort will play a big part
in the war program in which we
are now engaged"

n Hour Seruice
Is a Possibihty

When asked about the DOS
sibility of having an operator at
the switchboard in the Greenbelt
administrative office "a hours per
day, Town Manager Ray Braden
indicated that written request has
been made to the Washington of
flee of Federal Public Housing
Authority concerning the matter.
Although agreeing with the need
for 24-hour service, Mr.. Braden
stated that he was doubtful, in
view of the Presidents appeal
that the agencies cut down on
their staffs as much as possible,
that his request will be granted.

Unanimous Action

UNANIMOUS ACtlOn
Most important action of the
evening was a resolution recon-
mending to Greenbelt Consumer
Services that a store be opened in
the northern area of town as soon
as possible. Acceptance of the
motion was unanimous, follow
ing a discussion highlighted with
personal experiences in walking
more than mile with bags of
groceries.
A committee consisting of
President Walter Slocomb and
two residents in the new area
presented the resolution and of
fered assistance to the board of
directors of the consumer CO.
operative stores last night at
regular G.C.S. board meeting.
The most practical suggestion was
thought to be the opening of an
emergency store in one of the
houses north of Northway. It
was learned last might that a
house can be made available for
this purpose.
Problems Listed
In an hour of discussion at
Monday nights meeting nearly
every citizen present Joined in
listing the towns many current
problems A loop bus service
within Greenbelt was requested,
garbage collection was condemned
as inadequate, home-heating was
termed undependable enough to
constitute a public hazard, and
better exterminator control of in
sect pests was asked. The absence
OF street lighting during the
morning and evening hours was
mentioned by several as a traf-
fic hazard. Several others in
quIred whether steps could be
taken to have the Town Ad-
m1nistration remain open even
ings for the collection of rents.

business inasmuch as some resi-
dents are now forced to obtain
leave from work in order to at
tend to such tasks.

Operation of Greenbelt's night
classes for adults was outlined bv

ult education, and several of the

dents, and registration is 81.

Elementary School
Starts Two Grades
On Double Shift

Mrs. Catherine Reed, principal
of the Greenbelt Elementary
School, announced this week that
two grades of the school had
started on a double shift pro-
gram to help alleviate the crowd
ed conditions which have resulted
from the influx of families to
Greenbelt with no increase in
school facilities. The program.
inaugurated Tuesday, affects 73
children in the 4th and 5th grades
with more to come under the plan
as soon as another teacher can be
had.
Under the double shift plan the
first group begins the school day
at $3.50 a. m. and continues in the
class rooms until IL noon and the
second shift begins at 1890 and
ends at 400 p. m. These hours
cut the school day from and
half hours to 8 and half leaving
more free time. Part of this
extra time will, however be taken
up IN increased activity in music
and physical education.
S11 Pupils Now
In connection with the an
nouncement Mrs. Reed said that
the action was Compulsory be-
cause Of the present school hous-
ing condition.. There are 811
children enrolled at the present
time as compared with the 450

Plan Tennis Benefit Over The Week-End

George Wragg, head of Mitchell Woods and promoter of the Me morial Day American Red Cross tennis benefit at Mitchell's courts, was so satisfied with the results of the tournament that he plans to have a curtain call for this weekend. The benefits will again be turned over to the Red Cross.
 The Memorial Day tournament produced an impressive crop of young players of high school age who tipped over such luminaries as John Gagnon, John Angeles. Chick Chihowski, and Barny Dobrans. Conspicious in the younger group was the son of our very popular personal manager, Arthur Barnes, and the Smith brothers. Curtis and Donald, of Old Lyme.
 Having seen that the first tour nament was a success, many net minded EBers will be in the events over the weekend With the an- nouncement by John Angeles that the annual Electric Boat tennis championships will be month be- fore the matches of last year, there appears much work for the inter ested and not much time to do it in. It Is also the hope of the ex- ponent of the fore hand art that enough women will join in to make a good team of mixed doubles.

This will be the second game OfS a scheduled three game series and the Diesel management points out that even though they have had mediocre luck to date, they can ease by the Dolphins again as they did in their first meeting, 5-1.
 In the first engagement, the Boat were slightly more than just hot and they beat a tough Coast Guard crowd In order to get by the likes of Babe Young, Hank Majeski and Pat Fiske, the Diesels had to be good and that was just what Chet Pavlok was. This game was one, of the few games that the FEB hit in the clutch in the early season games and seems to have tendencies of carrying over into the simmery summer hush.
 The very fact that our Diesels haven't been able to hit in the clutch, is reason enough for the present unextolling of the Boat One glaring example is the Ellis Island game, when they left eight ducks on the pond. It isn't in the books to win games that way and that is the reason why they haven't won more.
 The 1943 Diesel team is the best balanced club that the Electric Boat has ever had and yet, the win column has looked better in other years. This is very hard to understand, especially when the man on the street points out that the Boat has added Ray Smith and Jimmy McKenna, two assets for any club. Then of course, there is pitcher by the name of Chet Pavlok, who is only the greatest twirler the boat ever had. Yet, the Diesels have started off bet ter with less.
 In getting by the Dolphins this week, will be a harder test for the boat than their first meeting. Any team that has Babe Young or Hank Majeski on it, will be tough to handle. This bunch are definitely money players and play better when the chips are down and the grapevine is heavy with newsy notes of the Dolphins seeking, re- venge. If Pat Fiske, who is pitch ing the best ball of his career to date. is hot, the series is liable to be tied up. This Dolphin crowd is a real team this year and the Die
