GreenbeIt 10 Cut
Services ifPHA
Fails toPayUp
City Council Pledges
Only Police and Fire
Aid After Feb. IS

Public service in Greenbelt will
be curtailed drastieally unless the
Federal Government provides op-
Grating funds by February is.
The City Council voted last
night that it would assure moth
ing but fire and police protection
if the Public Housing Admins
tration refuses to make payments
which the city maintains are due.
This means the city will discon-
tinue sewage disposal, trash and
garbage collection, a school kin
dergarten, public health and Ii
brary facilities.
Sees Insistent Refusal.
The council said it acted be-
cause of PHA's "insistent refusal
to acknowledge its obligations, and
its disregard of repeated in
quiries from Greenbelt.
The Federally owned commu-
nifty in Prince Georges County
is operated strictly on a rental
basis by PHA. 1t has no resident
tax. From rentals the tenants
pay, the PHA turns over funds to
the city for public services.
Two weeks ago Greenbelt' had
to borrow $4,000 to pay city
workers salaries. At least a month
before that, City Manager Charles
T. Mcdonald said he sent PHA
a written reminder that pay
ments in lieu OF taxes" were due.
But they haven't even shown
us the ordinary courtesy that de-
mands a reply to our inquiries" !"
Mr.. Mcdonald said last night. He
added that he has called PHA
-four or five" times in the last five
weeks.
Never Got Through.
"But I have never yet got
through to any officials" he de-
clared.
One councilman declared he
feels that once there is a stoppage
Of services a "rent-strike" may
follow.
Thomas J. Canning, councilman
and former Mayor, declared there
was mo call for PHA to ignore
our requests"
"It is disturbing thing to keep
not only the community in the
dark but the Governments own
agent as WELL" he said. Mr.. Cam
ming referred to Walter Sirnons,
who as community manager rep
resents PHA in Greenbelt.
According to Mr.. Mcdonald,
the agent could give the city no
information on the subject.
Mayor Elizabeth Harrington,
who raised the question last
night, agreed with the council
that no apparent reason for the
Governments attitude could be
found.
The issue arises as the sale of
the property by PHA into private
or community ownership appears
imminent.

LOCAL AMERICAN LEGION POST
STARTS MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

At it's regular monthly meeting
last Wednesday night, the local
American Legion post put appli-
cation blanks in the hands of
Legionnaires for the solicitation
of new and old members whose
dues should be paid. The meet
ing was not attended by many
persons whose names are on the
roster and it was decided to
hold subsequent meetings on
some night other than Wednes-
day in an effort to encourage
better attendance.
The group discussed the forth
coming Carolinas Yam Festival
and appointed a committee to
procure adequate prizes which
will be given away at the Bingo
stand during the festival. The
American Legion has been grant
ed the Bingo concession and will
opearte the stand. All members
Of the local legion are expected
to participate in the operation.
1t was voted to increase rates
on the use of the hut to $3.50
per night in the future except
to outside dance groups which
are charging admission and to
this type entertainment a fee of
$1,000 per night would be charg-
ed. However, each specific dance
rental will have to be sanction
ed by the Legion. 1t was also
voted to rent the hut to a chill
dren's dancing class in the after
noon one day a week for $3.50.
A discussion was carried on
relative to the poor condition of
the building. 1t was pointed out
that parts of the floor have rot
ted out and that much of the
structures underpinning has
been severely damaged by ter
mites. The Legion took no action
on a proposal to ask all civic
groups to combine efforts tc
push erection of a new commun.
ity building on the present hut's
site.

Walt Disney Brings in Treasure Island
Actionful Saga of Fabulous Pirate Gold

Walt Disney has brough to

and old.

FARM BUREAU MEMBERSHIP
IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE

The current statewide drive
by the North Carolina Farm Bur-
eau is important to all OF us, L..
C. Bonkemeyer of Chadbourn'
Columbus County FB president,
declared this week because
sound organization is the farm
ers only means of overcoming the
inequality between his produc-
ton efforts and his return on
that production"
American farmers represent
10 per cent of the nations popu-
lation," he pointed out, yet
even though we are producing
more food and fiber than ever
before our share of the national
income last year was only eight
per cent. Our job of feeding and
clothing the entire population OF
the nation and much of the world
is important, and it should re-
turn us a fair share of the ma
tons income"
Farmers need someone tc
speak for them, he added, that's
where Farm Buerau fits IN.
Flake Shaw has told U.S." the
local president said, that when
he appears at Congressional
hearings some newly-arrived
Congressmen delight in asking
how many farmers he represents
and who speaks for the other
farmers. Mr.. Shaw has been for
tunate this past year in being
able to say he speaks for more
than $4,000 Tar Heel farm fami-
lies who are members of Farm
Bureau. But he has also had to
say that no one speaks for the
other farmers unless they speak
for themselves.
1T means a lot to have our
Farm Bureau leaders supported
by so many farm families, but
there is no reason why they
should not include among their
supporters many more members
in this state. We have a chance
this year to push our member
ship beyond $4,000, our minimum
quota. and I see no reason why
we should not do just that"
Farm Bureau works for all
farmers, the county leader said.
It does not matter whether you
are a landowner, tenant or share
cropper, he added, if you are a
member of Farm Bureau you are
represented equally on the ma
tional and state level by our
Farm Bureau leaders.
Lets not sit back and rest
on the gains we have made as
farmers" he concluded, rather
let's get out and do a real jot
of getting members during this
drive to nail down those gains
and to show everyone we NEAR
business and intend to obtair
the place in our economy that we
have earned by hard worl
through the years"
