TWO BIOGRAPHIES
CONCLUDE SERIES

(Note - The two following biog-
raphies are the last in a series pre-
sented as a public service by The
Cooperator to acquaint its read-
ers with the candidates in the
City Counci! election, September
15.)

Robert Hurst

A local resident of. five’ years,
Robert Hurst, 5-H Eastway, hopes
to start his political career in
Greenbelt in the coming city coun-
cil election. “I’ve been preparing
for a political career for a long
time and I am ready to start
here,” he declared.

Hurst is a graduate of the Uni-
versity of Maryland, College of
Business and Public Administra-
tion. He is an Air Force veteran
with 40 missions over Germany as
a fighter pilot. From Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, Hurst admits to
coming from a family of politi-
cians active in the Pittsburgh
area. “It is a family tradition,”
he disclosed, He is now employed
by GCS in Takoma Park.

The high tax rate is a municipal
problem Hurst thinks is utmost in
everyone’s mind, and he hopes that
intense study of the budget and
services will disclose a way of re-
ducing the taxes., He is sure that
new development in the city will
spread the tax burden and allevi-
ate the situation.

Hurst has no ‘axe to grind’, he
_ stated. .He would like to see a
“hieger civilian defense program if
Greenbelt, since the city is on the
fringe area of a major target. He
hopes that adequate preparedness
will do much to prevent disaster.
The library should be expanded,
he asserted. “It is a good library,
one to be proud of, and I hope it
ean be enlarged for greater use,”
Hurst admitted, “without raising

SIGNS NOT MEANT
TO STOP FISHERMEN

The “No Trespassing” signs
placed on lakeside property by
Greenbelt Veteran Housing Cor-
poration for a twenty-four hour
period early this week were not
designed to discourage fishermen
according to Paul Campbell,
GVHC general manager.

The signs were posted to meet
a legal requirement, and Campbell
expressed regret at any misunder-
standing cause by the signs.

opportunity -to express his views
on the city election and to an-
swer questions from the audience.

World Series Time
At McDonald Park

By Bill Moore

Greenbelt Little League Base-
ball “World Series” time is here.
For some fifteen weeks now one
hundred and twenty uniformed
young athletes have skirmished at
rock-bound McDonald Park for
fun and glory. The chips are down
now. Two teams have survived
this summer’s competition. George
Preston’s Athletics won the Na-
tional League titie handily and
Bernie Emmert’s Co-Op Emerald
Sox won the vizorcus Afnerican
League race. These two valiant
squads will battle for the Cham-
pionship of Greenbelt in a best
two out of three game series.

Little League Baseball has
grown in Greenbelt. In 1951
George Preston’s Izaak Waltons
were champs in a four team lea-
gue. In 1952 Mel Taylor’s College
Park Legion led a six team pack
to the wire and survived the rug-
ged “Shaughnessy Play-offs” for
the title. This year, fielding still
two more teams, the directors de-
cided to divide into two 4 team
leagues, American and National,
with the champions meeting in a
Greenbelt “World Series”. That’s
where we are now.

On Saturday, August 29 at 2
o'clock Co-Op will tackle the
White Elephants. The second
game will be played the next day,
Sunday at 1:30 in the afternoon.
I'he third game, if necessary,, will
be played at 2 o’clock Saturday,
September 5. All games are play-
ed at McDonald Park in rear of
No. 7 court Southway.

This “Worid Series” pits ‘father
against son and brother against
brother. Bernie Emmert, Jr. is
the stellar second baseman, catch-
er on Preston’s. A’s against his
dad’s Co-Op nine while Co-Op
Bobby Huff rivals his little bro-
ther, the A’s Danny Huff!

Rosters of the Seriees contend-
ers are:

Athletics - Roy McCauley, Har-
vey Sherer, Tommy Iveson, young
EXmmert, Bobby Oring, Billy Steele,
Eddie Moody, Dick Wade, Ken
Powell, Marty Walden, Dan Huff,
John Wayne Tucker, Dave Arens-
dorf, Duncan Monroe and Bunky
LaF lamme. Manager George
Preston.

Co-Op - Harrison “Brother” Gil-
lette. Pat Keily, Mike Pinkos,
Jackie O’Neil, Chuck Clark, Bob

Taxes As An Issue

One thing remains quite clear in the political haze now sur-
rounding the community: taxes should be lowered. How this is
to be achieved is still lost somewhere in the haze, but we know
that each of the eight candidates promise to endeavor to find
some magic formula. Most of them hope to be guided by citizen
wishes, since there is a secondary, but vital consideration: Do we
want to reduce the fine services we have in order to lower taxes
or are we satisfied to pay for them and have them?

No. 3

No one has come forth with an “austerity” program. Evi-
dently we want the services but hope they won’t cost us too much.
Straight cuts in the budget along the line are often ill-considered.
Elimination of certain services is hazardous; it often brings a
rain of protest from those wanting those services.

In the end, we feel, the responsibility will fall where it usually
does - on the city managers shoulders. He will be required to op-
erate the municipality with frugality and diplomacy. His budget
will undergo keen scrutiny, with a scissors and blue pencil nearby.
What is left, he will have to nurse along for the coming year. Any-
way, he will be doing with the city budget what most of us have
been doing with our personal budgets for a long time.

The promise of new development in the city to help relieve
the tax burden is a rea} promise, coming truer with each passing
day. We hope that new business and industry will find a home in
Greenbelt; we hope that non-Grenebelters will be made to pay
their way to enjoy our advantages; we hope that Greenbelt will
prosper and grow into a major community in Maryland. Lower-
ing taxes alone cannot achieve this. Without the services that
taxes bring us, how attractive will Greenbelt remain for new de-
velopment and enterprise?

The new city ‘council will have its work cut out for them.
They should be dedicated men, devoted to the spirit of Greenbelt
and willing to work hard and spend time on municipal problems.
There are important problems to consider and hectic days ahead
now ¢that Greenbelt is ending its first year of independence. We
hope that each succeeding year will be one of progress and growth.

. eee a Hh ett aries ‘
in while in college, is one which ealistic appraisal of our

Greenbelt can well take advantage
of, Hurst said. “Our public rela-
tions in the county and Washing-
ton area are at a low ebb,’ Hurst
declared, “and can be much im-
proved.” As the city grows and
progresses, Greenbelt should main-
tain high standards and values
which will continue to make the
surrounding communities regard
us with respect and admiration,
he added.
Harry Zubkoff

Harry Zubkoff, 17-H Ridge, was
born and raised in Buffalo, New
York. He moved to Greenbelt in
March, 1950. . Married, with two
children, Zubkoff works for the
Defense Department as a writer.
He is currently on the board of
directors of Greenbelt Consumer
Services, and boasts of a singular
achievement: he was the first can-
didate to be elected to that board
as a “write-in” candidate. For
two years, he served as editor of
The Cooperator.

Zubkoff holds a commercial
pilot’s license, has instructed fly-
ing and related ground subjects.
During the war he served in the
Counter-Intelligence Corps as a
special agent in France and Ger-
many. He received a special com-
mendation for uncovering a Com-
munist spy ring in Germany, and
participated in many _ investiga-
tions involving eases of loyalty,
espionage and sabotage.

The city council’s job is a lot
more complicated. Zubkoff as-
gerts, now that Greenbelt is free
of federal ownership. The city

services aS opposed to other mu-
nicipalities’ services in the county
should be undertaken,” Zubkoff
stated. He cited the library as one
service which might better be sup-
ported by the county, as an ex-
ample. Analysis and re-appraisa!
of the police force to determine
“how much we really need” com-
pared to what we have, is in order,
he stated. Another major budget
item, recreation, should be scru-
tinized; “we spend almost as much
for recreation in Greenbelt as the
whole county,” he declared.

Zubkoff welcomed
commercial, and
tures in Greenbelt. “GCS has re-
linquished their ‘option’ on the
variety store and drug store in
their negotiations to purchase the
land under the food store.” This
means that the right to operate
any business within half a mile
from the Center has been sur-
rendered in this same deeal, Zub-
koff disclosed, “The city is now
in a good position to support any
new expansion inside the munici-
pality that will meet the needs of
the community.”

The master plan of GVHC de-
velopment within Greenbelt en-
visages three new shopping cen-

additional
industrial ven-

ters, he declared, and there is
plenty of room for new _ enter-
prises. “The council cannot re-

main aloof or isolated, but should
bring an awareness of community
responsibility to the city, in active
liaison with other organizations
for the good of the residents and
the citizenry,” he concluded.

Bobby Wallace of 52-C Ridge

fine, we are glad to learn.

Sol and Doris Mednick, 8-M Pla-

Sol has finished the work for his
PhD, and has accepted a position
with the U. S. Industrial Chemical
Co. in Baltimore. The Mednicks
will be happy to have their friends
visit them in their new home at
303 N Street, Glen Burnie.

quite by chance, Sophie and Jack
Corwin, former Greenbelters

URGED ON BY BILLY JOHN-
SON OF TV, the children want to
enter the National Symphony Mys-
tery Voice contest. (Box 447,
Weshington, D.C.) A dollar goes
with the letter saying, in twenty-
five words or less, why you like
music. The kids entry will read
“T like music because it sounds
pretty.” It’s a cinch for first
prize. Bring on the Cadillac.

IT’S BEEN OBVIOUS ALL
ALONG WHO THE MYSTERY
VOICE is, anyway, but I don't
mind going along with the gag.
It’s a good way to solicit funds
for an excellent cause, the up-
keep of the National Symphony
Orchestra. We can help the or-
chestra, and hope to win a prize.
FOR THE PAST TWO SEASONS
the National Symphony presented
the Suburban Concert Series prac-

tically on our doorstep, in the
Ritchie Coliseum of Maryland
University. These were attended

and enjoyed by many Greenbelt-

ers. It’s fascinating to see Con-

ductor Howard Mitchell, the mu-

sicians and guests stars in action.

Friends and I sat way up front

once alongside the percussion sec-

tion, and got a big “bang” out of it.

Let’s hope the Suburban Series be-

comes an institution in this area.

Drop inn Data
By Carole Martin

Due to the much appreciated do-
nations of time and manpower by
our members, the Drop Inn re-
pairs, as far as we are concerned,
are way ahead of schedule. The
remainder of the repairs have to
be finished by carpenters. Besides
several minor repairs, the Drop
Inn floor is going to be jacked up.
Continuous dancing has weakened
the beams, and more efficient sup-
port is needed.

Our original color scheme of
green and white still predominates.
The walls are a cool green with
darker borders and _ trimmings.
The ceiling, once white, is a dark
green. The arrangement is not
only very pretty, but quite durable.

Working around the Drop Inn I
have heard many rumors concern-
ing the date that the Drop Inn will
open. I think it will be fair to
say that if work continues as well
in the future, the members can
expect it to be reopened by the
eend of the second week in Sep-
tember. This has not been an-
nounced officially yet, as there are
several factors pending. Remem-
ber patience is a virtue.

Ask a reporter and he’ll tell you how
the telephone saves him time and steps...
helps him get the story fast. He uses it
to check names and addresses... to follow
up leads... to verify his facts... to call
in his story right from the scene of action.
Today’s news depends on the telephone!

When you have to be in six places at once
and things must be done in a hurry, tele-

BILL MOORE HURLS
NO-HITTER, BOWS 2-0

Big Joe Fitzpatrick, coach of the
Greenbelt Boys Club Seniors and
former University of Maryland
and minor league pitching star,
liked what he saw last Tuesday
evening at Braden Field. His team
didn’t win but the pitching he
saw couldn’t help but tickle the
big man,

Greenbelt’s pitcher, Lefty Bill
Moore, lost a hurling duel with
Mt. Rainier’s Bobky “Arp” Hos-
pan by 2 to 0. Both Mounty runs
were strictly unearned as the vis-
itors failed to get a single hit off
Moore. The future St. Louis
Brownie farmhand handcuffed Mt.
Rainier for the full seven innings,
whiffing eleven and walking but
two.

CONTROL ANTS
WITH CHLORDANE

If you are annoyed by ants in
the house, you'll welcome these
suggestions for their control. _

They come from entomolgist T.
L. Bissell, University of Maryland
Extension Service. He says the
first step is to find the ants’ nest, if
possible. Then treat it with an
insecticide.

Chlordane is the most effective
insecticide to use against ants,
says Mr. Bissell. If they are nest-
ing in the structure of the house,
it may not be possible to reach the
nest. Your next best step is to
watch the ants to learn the route
or trail they follow.

Ants are apt to stay around if
there’s food for them to feed on,
so clean up any food source. It’s
important too, to keep food in
tight containers so it won’t attract

ants.
