an alarm system to cost approx
mately $4,000.

department this year under the tax
system. At the conclusion of the
discussion it was decided to hold a

Candidates

GreenbeIt Vote
Each Gives Co-Ops
Qualified Support
In Final Rally

Primed by last nights political"
rally in which all 10 candidates an
nounced their platforms, Greenbelt
voters today were at the polls in
record numbers to elect members Of
the f1ve-man Town Council.
Registration figures stood at more
than 1900, with the total expected
to swell to nearly 1,700, since voters
not yet registered may sign up today
by paying special polling fee at
the voting center in the Town Fire
house.
Nearly 1000 residents packed the
Center School auditorium to hear
candidates views in the customary
election year rally sponsored by the
Greenbelt Citizens Association.
Warns Against Heckling
At the start, association President
Robert Davenport warned against
audience heckling of the 10 hope
fu,s. His comment at the close was,
You have been sensible and in
telligent gathering"
Few heated occasions arose as the
candidates outlined individual
stands. which were remarkably
similar on the four major issues.
George Bauer. present Mayor,
drew large round of applause when,
in answer to query, he declared
he wanted cancellation of the town
co-operatives' present lease with
Public Housing Administration.
The present lease is monopolistic."
Mr.. Bauer asserted. pounding the
rostrum with his fists. The entrance
of private enterprise would cause
good competition here.
Wants Good Coop"
II do not oppose co-operatives as
he added, but I want a good coop.
A good one can out-compete any
private business. This town is en-
titled to the consumers services that
people enjoy all over the United
States outside of Greenbelt."
Candidate Thomas j. Canning,
whose name appears on an 'in-
dependent slate backed by 1873
independent" citizens, repudiated
amy commitment to any group
Il do not urge support of any
fellow candidates on that so-cafed
slate, and I'm tired and sick OF
insinuations that l am committed to
any side My stand is independent,
he shouted.
Albert J. Schaffer charged the

coop. has "unjustly criticized me as
a BIASED and disgruntled ex-employe

Three Raise Gobbel Issue.
II believe in protecting co-opera-
tives," Mr.. Schaffer asserted, and
when laughter arose he angrily
retorted "GCS is just not truly rep
resentative of the peoples wishes"
All candidates announced they
generally favor co-operatives but
said they want private enterprise
introduced as well. Each agreed
that residents should get first con-
sideration in any sale of the town
by the Government.
Only three candidates took a stand
on the hidden issue of the re-
appointment of James T. Gobbel
as town manager. Mr.. Gobbel, who
was the target last spring of Mayor
Bauer and Councilman John A.
Cain, received support last night
from Candidates David Granahan.

of overcrowding in the Graduate

1907

About this time every year, the wanderlust strikes
us, or perhaps it's a summer fever peculiar to tins re-
gion. Anyhow, we begin to have an almost uncontrol-
able urge to make tracks for Yellowstone National
park-or Just The Park as those who manage to
spend two or three wcek-ends there each summer like
to call it.
Then, if we can't go, we relive some of our former
visits, and we usually wind up by tearing out a few
handfuls of hair and muttering to ourselves. That be-
cause we eventually remember how one of our favorlte
formations was ruined by a scragely set of initials, or
how one of the most beautiful pools revealed in its clear
depths somebody's old tire. or how one of the rangers
told us that a pet spring Of ours isn't active any more
because someone filled it with trash.
Each time we marvel at the peculiar mental make
up of the vandals who spoil the interesting and beauti-
full features of the park for those who come to look and
be awed by natures truly remarkable handiwork.
Only in New Zealand is there another thermal
area which can come anywhere near equalling that in
Yellowstone and the parks magnificent scenery is
awe-inspiring.
Why do the thoughtless few spoil the pleasure OF
the countless hundreds who are considerate and APP
preciative?
