Improved Hot Water Service Near
For Over 300 Frame Home Units

By Russell Greenbaum

Work on improving the hot water return system of the defense
homes is progressing much faster than anticipated, Paul Campbell,
manager of the Greenbelt Veteran Housing Corporation, told the
GVHC board of directors Monday night, December 21.

The hot water return lines orig-
inally installed during the war
consisted of galvanized pipe since
copper tubing was critical at that
time. The. galvanized lines have
built up a deposit to the extent
that for many periods of the day
a number of the defense home are
unable to obtain hot water due to
lack of complete circulation.

The work of replacing the -clog-
ged galvanized pipe with copper
tubing began early this month
after an appropriation of $15,000
by GVHC for this purpose, It is
expected that the return lines from
two boiler house units will be com-
pletely cleared very shortly. That
will give between 300 and 400
families in the frame dwellings
greatly improved hot water ‘serv-
ice.

The remainder of the work will
be contracted for as soon as bids
have been received from various
engineering companies for the job.

Closing Open Garages

The matter of a policy on the
closing of open garages was also
brought before the board, which
stated no doors could be placed on
open garages without specific per-
mission from GVHC. Futher-
more, such doors must be con-
_ strueted according to GVHC spe-
cifications, and it is to be under-
stood that the garage must be used
for the storage of an automobile.

A garage attached to one of the
GVHC apartment units on Park-
way has already been enclosed ac-
cording
The board considers it an excellent
job and feels that it should serve
as model for those planning to
construct such enclosures. All
work must be done at the expense
of the member, but there will be
no increase in the rent on the
garage.

Injunction Against Bryan

Further progress on GVHC's
case against Allan A. Bryan of 2-E£
Northway, who conducts a mov-
ing business from his place of
residence, was announced by
GVHC's generai counsel, Abra-
ham Chasanow. The court issued
an injunction against Bryan on
Monday, December 21 on the basis
that his business is conducted so
as to constitute a public nuisance

Two contracts were renewed by
the board. GVHC’s insurance cov-
crage with the Farm Bureau In-
surance Co. was renewed for an-
other year. The corporation is in-
sured for more tran six million
dollars.

The services of Chasanow as
general counsel for GVHC was
also continued for another year.
The agreement includes a clause
whereby either party can termi-
nate the contract upon 60 days
notice. ?

It was decided that a_ special
membership meeting will be called
for Wednesday night, January 27,
at the Center school to discuss
GVHC’s budget for the coming
year.

Laurie Maffay Chosen
For Honor Society

Laurie Maffay, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John C. Maffay, is Green-
belt’s cnly Senior Class candidate
this year for membership in the
Northwestern High School Chap-
ter of the National Honor Society.
Ten percent of the senior class is
elected each year and Laurie is
one of the group chosen for this
signal honor. Another ex-Green-
belter, Fatricia Giersch, was also
elected to membership.

Membership in the National
Honor Society is a goal which all
high school seniors and jjuniors
should strive to reach, since elec-
tion into this society means that
the student has not only attained
a high degree of scholastic
achievement, but has also shown
outstanding qualities of leadership
and good citizenship which should
stand him well later in life. To

ea Studer Pmust average
“RB” or better in studies, and must
participate in school activities.
Personality and character are also
prime considerations. Juniors as
well as Seniors are eligible for
membership. A group from the
Junior class is elected for mem-
high school seniors and juniors
will form the nucleus of the chap-
ter when the present Senior class
group is graduated in June.

The National Honor Society was
founded back in the twenties by
the Association of Secondary
School Principals, a subsidiary of
the American Education Associa-
tion. Northwestern’s chapter be-
gan operating the first year of the
school’s existence in 1951.

Wed

Various projects are carried out
by school chapters. Scholarship
funds have been established by
some of the older chapters and it
is Northwestern’s hope that in the
near future it may be able to es-
tablish such a fund. One of the
projects now being undertaken by
the school chapter is selling sta-
tionery printed with the Univer-
sity of Maryland insignia. Money
earned by the project will finance
a tea usually given in May for the
parents of chapter members. An-
other project conducted by chap-
bership in February and this group
ter members is handling a _ lost-
and-found. service at the school.

"54 City Budget Cut To $303,764;
Real Property Tax Set At $2.14

By I. J. Parker
The 1954 budget, calling for expenditures of $303,764.50, was
given final approval by the city council last Monday night. A new
tax rate on real property of $2.143 per $100 assessed valuation was
established and the personal property tax on business was. raised

to $2.

The proposed budget figure presented by city manager

Charles McDonald of $329,866 was cut $26,102.

It is expected that $146,359.50
will be received from real property
taxes, with the remaining $157,405
coming from other sources. The
new personal property tax is ex-
pected to bring an additional
$4,500.

New Assessment Disclosed

The new assessment by the
county on Greenbelt property was
announced; new total assessed
valuation . of taxable Greenbelt
property is $6,828, 267. Property of
yreenbelt Veteran Housing Cor-
poration (improved property) is
assessed at $5,445,820, and the un-
developed land is assessed at $103,-
670. The remaining property as-
sessemnt figures were classified
confidential by McDonald and not
disclosed.

Band Cut; Raised

A last-minute consideration of
the budget resulted in a cut of
$3700. A $300 saving was accom-
plished by cutting the Ban appro-
priation from the budget by using
$625 from “part-time help” funds
in the recreation department for
payment cf half the band-lader’s
salary. After a written appeal by
Vincent Caruso for municipal as~
sistance to the band, the council
decided to use recreation money
to help the Band. (It was dis-
closed that the -band-leader gets
$15 for two hours; part-time rec
dep help gets $1.25 an hour.) The
move was approved with Council-
man James Wolfe and Mayor
Frank Lastner dissenting. As a
result of the appropriation, the
city will not participate in repair

Baptists Plan First

Baptismal Service

The Greenbelt Baptist Chapel
plans its first Baptismal Service
next Sunday afternoon, December
27 at 4 pm. at the sponsoring
church, First Baptist Church of
Hyattsville, 42nd and Longfellow
Street. Mrs. Wm. J. Crowder, the
chapel pianist, will be at the or-
gan, and Albert Niemeyer will lead
the music. Dr. William J. Crowd-
er, the Pastor, will baptize several
candidates.

Judges Announced For
Home Lighting Contest

Judges for the Lions Club Home
Lighting contest will be Gwynne
Gerhoff, George King, Eddie
Moody, Joe De Prato, and Barbara
Schenck, according to an an-
nouncement by Allan Chotiner,
principal of the Greenbelt Junior
High School.

The judges will tour the entire
city of Greenbelt+ on Saturday
night following Christmas day to
determine which home is most at-
tractively decorated.

The winner will receive a $25
war bond to be awarded by the
Greenbelt Lions Club. Lions Club
President “Spud” Clay thas stated
that he hopes many residents will
take part in this effort to make
our town attractive. Entry blanks
do not need to be filled out for this
event, he added.

eens
of the band instruments, which
the city owns.

Anotiier $2500 reduction ‘was
mae by cutting the street sani-
tation appropriation. The council
fel tthat the “transition” of mov-
ing residents is about over and the
special problems due to large trash
piies have heen diminished consid-
erably.

Library Cut

The library appropriation was
cut $622, from new book purchas-
es; only dissenter, Wolfe. The
shelf space for new books was con-
sidered by the council as inade-
quate to hold the amount of new
pooks anticipated by the proposed
figure. A move to cut $150 from
“conferences” for the _ librarian
was defeated, 3-2.

“Conferences” for the mayor
and council was cut in half and
$250 was lopped from the budget.
The remaining amount was con-
sidered adequate for council at-
tendance at necessary meetings of
civic associations.

Development Theme

The meeting was marked by 2
determined effort to lower the tax
rate to a figure which would en-
hance the future development of
Greenbelt, particularly the new
housing projects underway at pres-
ent. In veting dgainst the raise
in personal property taxes, Last-
ner declared - “I am voting no, as
I have felt now and previously
that.an increase is detrimental to
new industry and businessse com-
ing into Greenbelt. My interest
has been in a reduction of tax

' rates, notan increase.’

Off the cuff - The council was
entertained by the Greenbelt Band
playing Christmas carols during
the early part of the meeting while
the Band appropriation was being
discussed. One councilman stated
- “maybe we should have given
them more money” . another
official declared - “It sounds like
we've given them too darn mucn
already!” . . A Christmas card
was received by the council from
Mrs. Gladys Long, ex-Greenbelter
and frequent visitor to council
meetings before she moved.

City clerk Winfield MeCamy was
a few minutes late and city man-
ager Charles McDonald filled in
aking notes. Mayor Lastner, in a
jovial mood, referred to McDon-
ald as Madame Clerk ... the coun-
cil and press were invited to an
installation of officers of the Izaak
Walton League in the Athletic
Club, Saturday night, January 16.
Edgar Swisher extended the in-
vite. . Personal property tax
may bring iess money if stoves
and refrigerators are passed by
GVIIC to individual ownership, as
anticipated by January 1. But
additional equipment and im-
provements by PEPCO may bring
the sum back up... . It’s always
a happy sight to see McDonald
get out his slide rule and figure the
tax rate; a sort of annual ritual.
Guesses on the result of dividing
$146,359.50 by $6,828,267 were all
close, but no one got the cigar! (If
the decimal points confuse you,

.Gdon’t forget the rate is per $100. . .)

GVHC will pay about $28,000 less
to the city next year in taxes, a
nice Christmas present. But, it
will pay more to the county be-
cause of the new assessment... .

The Christmas Spirit

You can see it in the eyes of the children and read it in the
faces of the people on the street corners. You can hear it in the
pealing of the church bells and in carols of the season when men’s
minds and hearts are filled with the message that has echoed down
through the dark centuries to offer comfort and hope to men of
all times,

This is the wonder and the miracle of Christmas. Evil mén
have tried to destroy its meaning, thoughtless men have tried to
obscure the message or use it for their own ends, but somehow it
persists and the promise it offers today is as bright as when it was
first made. It shines in every deed of sacrifice and love, it is still
a beacon to men who seek only peace and who will follow its light
through their lives on the long journey forward to their final rest.

Decision for Darkness

Most men are able to make the vital decisions in their lives
without fanfare or publicity. The twenty-two young Americans
who have elected to remain in Korea with their Communist captors
have had the eyes of the world focused upon them while they were
making up their minds: They had a chance to stand up and testify
to freedom; instead they renounced their country.

It is hard to understand the thinking of these deluded Ameri-
cans. They must have witnessed the treatment given their fellow
prisoners who refused to fali for the Communist line. They must

_-The time may come when they will regret their decision. It
is likely that when that time comes, however, it will be too late
for them to salvage the liberty they have forfeited with apparent
indifference,

Americans can sympathize with the parents and the loved ones
of these men whose minds have been poisoned by the Communists.
It is always tragic to look upon men who have turned their eyes
away from the light and entered into the kind of darkness which
can consume them.

Newspapers

“How far that little candle throws its beam’, says an old poem.
It could be paraphrased, if unpoetically, to read, “How far the con-
sequences of a strike extend”’.

The New York newspaper strike, which deprived the world’s
second largest city of its principal media of information and adver-
tising for 11 days, is a perfect example. Moreover, it illustrated
how unique a place the newspapers hold in a community.

The strike was brought by a photoengravers’ union which has
400-odd members employed on the major New York papers. Ac-
tually, only 207 votes were cast in favor of the strike, but it was a
majority. The papers, of course, could have appeared without
pictures but other unions honored the engravers’ picket lines and
made publication impossible. ;

As a result, some 20,000 people were temporarily forced out of
work, and a very large payroll was temporarily suspended. And
a huge amount of holiday advertising business was lost. ,

This was only the beginning. To most stores, the newspaper
is the dominant factor in advertising. It is the top medium for
visually offering goods to vast numbers of potential buyers. No
one will ever know how much retail business was lost because of
the strike but many store executives are sure it was substantial.
Time was bought on radio and TV stations. But these media are

‘of only limited value to retailers for the most part and, on top of

that, relatively little desirable time was available.

New York City has 10,000 newsstands and.about 2,500 of them
shut down entirely. All of the rest, naturally, suffered from the
lack of papers to sell, which are the backbone of the business.
Movie theatres and sports arenas had no effective means of pub-
licizing their attractions.

Finally, of course, the public, which buys 5,000,000 copies a
day of the New York papers, was discomfited. The newsmagazines
diverted extra copies into the city, but there were not enough of
them to meet the demand and they did not carry news with the
local slant. ;

Whether or not the photoengravers’ wage and other demands
were justified is a matter of argument. But there can be no argu-
ment about the fact that the action of a very small number of peo-
ple in a case like this can directly affect the lives of many millions.
New Yorkers, today, really appreciate their newspapers.

her grandparents, who too, were
affected badly by the war. Many
times she went without food and
her clothing was ‘always inade-
quate. But although orphaned and
Geprived of mecessities Jutta had
spirit. She worked hard in school
and did very weil. She took her
theres with a light heart and was
a great help to her rapidly aging
grandmother. Then, a short while
after Jutta’s eighth birthday, she
was told that she had been adopt-
ed. Jutta was very happy and has
written many times to thank us.

Service Comniittee. Besides Patti
and Tomi, who were born here, the
Mesners now have two other chil-
dren, Larry and Susan, I'm hap-
py to send along the thoughtful
words that close their letter. “Ours
is a great country, not only ma-
terlally, but there is ae real
strength in the educational and
religious sphere of the lives of
people about us. If only the rest
of the peoples of the world could
share the health, educational and
economic advantages that make

O

oer)

life something more than sheer

drudgery or even worse, starva-
tion.

“Along with thinking people ev-
erywhere we have been greatly dis-
turbed at the assault in this coun-
try upon individuals’ freedom to
think, speak and write as each
sees fit. Those who would force
all political. economic and social
(not religious, as yet) thinking
into one narrow channel strike at
the roots of our democratic and
spiritual heritage.

“The greatest problem facing
humanity today is how to bridge
the surging tide of nationalism, to
solve our international problems
without war and achieve the great-
est blessing that could come to this
world - - Peace on Earth — Good-
will among Men.”

The essence of the Christmas
spirit are in those closing words,
“Teace on Earth — Goodwill
among Men,” a spirit that belongs
to no single season or place, but
lives wherever there is the joy of
giving, in such a simple thing as
helping a weary old man trudging
home with his groceries. It lives
wherever there is love and com-
passion for others; wherever there
is tolerance and freedom from
prejudice against those, who, for
one reason or another are different
from us. For, as an English poet
wrote, more than a hundred years
ago, “The dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.”

Happy Holiday to Everyone!
