GH! Board Breaks Through Barricade

By Robert Philleo
At last Thursday’s regular meeting, the GHI Board instructed
the manager to take appropriate corrective action against an
arbitrarily erected chain link fence in the 26 court of Ridge.
Three families in the court had previously complained that the
ungated (mesh) fence blocked the rear yard walkway, the court’s

only formal access.

A separate motion (by Bill Helm) requested

the affected member, who was present, to take down the barrier
by August 11, with the board placing the present policy, on main-
taining unobstructed rear yard walkways, before the entire mem-
bership at the next opportunity. This was agreed to by the mem-
ber, and the motion passed by 5 to 3.

The member accused GHI of in-
equitable treatment, alleging that
many violations of present policy
on rear yard walkways are unde-
tected or tolerated. GHI manager,
Paul Campbell, acknowledged the
previously unknown violations,
which were discovered as a result of
a recent joint GHI-city study on
walkway jurisdictions. The study in-
volved on-site inspections of GHTI
walkways to determine those prin-
‘etpally used by the public, and
therefore city responsibility. The
formal results of the study are pos-
ted on two maps in the GHI mana-
ger’s office. One of the maps indi-
cates brick home yard lines, here-
tofore unspecified.

The manager’s recommendation
for a tie-in walkway between pre-
sent public walkways near 26
Ridge and 4 Gardenway was ap-
proved pending petition to the city
to share costs on a 50-50 basis. The
manager was also directed to ex-
plore with court members the es-
tablishment of an aisle and walk-
way between the two courts. A mem-
ber with an unauthorized obstruc-
tion of the walkway at 3 Garden-
way was instructed to secure con-
sent of other court members. To
round out the discussion of walk-
way obstructions, the board una-
nimously reaffirmed the present pol-
icy prohibiting obstructions and di-
recting such obstructions shall be
so removed.

25th Anniversary
Plans Revealed

A brief outline of activities sche-
duled during the month of October
in observance of Greenbelt’s 25th
birthday was discussed at a meet-
ing of the Silver Anniversary Com-
mittee last Wednesday. Highlights
include a concert by the Second
Army Band a tour of the Goddard
Space Flight Center, and a Grand
Ball at the Armory. Foremost event
of the month, of course, will be
the appearance of Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt the evening of October
23:

Harry Zubkoff, Chairman of the
Silver Anniversary Committee, sum-
marized the activities already sche-
duled. On Sunday, October 7, the
Second Army Band will give a con-
cert from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Ar-
mory. Before and after the concert
a display of space satellites and re-
lated objects will be exhibited by
the Goddard Space Flight Center
in the Armory. On Sunday, October
14, the Space Flight Center will
have open house for Greenbelters
from noon to 5 p.m., during which
time guided tours of the Center's
facilities will be conducted. On
Tuesday, October 23, Mrs. Roosevelt
will speak in Greenbelt, an event
which will receive national and in-
ternational coverage. Climax of the
month-long celebration will be a
Grand Anniversary Ball, to be held
at the Armory on Saturday, Octo-
ber 27,

Other events and exhibits will al-
so take place during the month.

Lt, William

First Lt. William N. Gray, 29,
of 10-B Southway, was killed on
Friday, August 11, when his diving
F-100 Sabre jet crashed during the
war games in South Carolina. Gray,
a National Guard pilot, leaves his
wife, Clara. and his father, Albion
R. Gray of Washington.

Land Use Problem

A request to purchase or lease
GHI land on Northway for a de-
tached home _ precipitated the
Board’s interest in re-examining
the GHI land use plans. The ab-
sence of criteria to evaluate the
single request before the board un-
derlined the need. for careful ex-
amination of all facets of land use.

A citation and an engraved ga-
vel and sounding block were pre-
sented to Edward Burgoon for his
service to GHI as president from
1955 to 1962. Board members paid
additional tribute to his outstand-
ing and exemplary public service.

The board officially accepted GHI
manager Paul Campbell’s resigna-
tion with regret. The News Re-
view’s editorial commemorating
Campbell was read into the min-
utes. The open house to recognize
Campbell will be held August 17,
from 8:30 to 10 p.m. at the GHI
offices.

Our Neighbors

by Elaine Skolnik - GRanite 4-6060

Ben and Ethel Rosenzweig, 4-E
Crescent, are delighted that their
son, Martin, and his wife, Susan,
will be visiting them next week.
The young couple have just re-
turned from Bologna, Italy, where
Susan received her certificate for
completing studies at the Bologna
Center of the Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity School of Advanced Inter-
national Studies. During their stay
abroad they visited Berlin, Paris,
Vienna, London and other Euro-
pean centers of interest. From
Greenbelt, Martin and Susan will
head for Iowa State University,
where Martin was awarded a gra-
duate assistantship.

A very happy birthday to Natalee
Fisher, 2-H Gardenway, who will
be 14 years old on August 19.

Michael Garin, 10-A Hillside, sold
his outgrown toys and sent the pro-
ceeds to Bill Gold. The $4.44 will
benefit Children’s Hospital.

Sorry to have omitted Mike Con-
ley’s name last week in the list of
youngsters participating in the
Backyard Carnival, which netted
$31.70 for Muscular Dystrophy.

Happy-happy birthday to Charles
and Kathleen Snyder, 12-H Plateau.
Charles was six on August 3 and
Kathleen was four on August 6. A
double birthday celebration was
held in Edmonston, Maryland, with
Greenbelt cousins, Donald and Bren-
da Shumate, 10-F Southway, in at-
tendance,

SP/5 Daniel Boone of the United
States Army is home for good after
serving in the Motor Pool of the Sig-
nal Battalion in Germany. Dan and
his wife, Judy, will reside at 10-B
Plateau.

The Markley family, 14-D Ridge,
have just returned from a trip to
California. Gary and Stevie, their
noses pressed against the jet’s win-
dow were fascinated by the view as
they flew cross country. Their par-
ents’ comment, “We have a beau-
tiful country”, reflected the same
sentiment. In California, they visi-
ted Norma Kerns Varoshi of Liver-
more, Maryland. Norma, a former
resident of our city, was probably
the first “Miss Greenbelt.” The
Markleys also spent a joyous whirl-
wind day at Disneyland.

It’s a boy for John and Lanette

Cain, P. O. Box 133, Greenbelt.
July 28 was the important date.

A last-minute adjustment in the
scoring gave Rick and Margie
Thompson first place in last Fri-
day’s duplicate bridge game. Their
36 points just nosed out the Al SKol-
nik-Howard Savage combine with
35% points. Third place was a tie
between the teams of Dale Frese-
George Kaufman and Lou and Lu-
cille Lushine. Next game: Friday,
August 24.

Mr. and Mrs. Jack Lowder, 6-A
Crescent, are the proud parents of
a son. Clay Spencer was born Au-
gust 4, weighing 6 lbs. 14 oz. He
joins a brother, Todd.

Our condolences to Mrs. Clara
Gray, 10-B Southway, on the death
of her husband, William.

Joseph D. Ausilio, 36-R Ridge,
celebrated his 5th birthday on Au-
gust 11.

Congratulations to City Manager
Charles McDonald on a new grand-
son, Thomas Joseph, Jr. He is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mc-
Donald of Chillum.

Jack Dillinger, 20-N Hillside, ex-
hibited some of his paintings al-
ong the sidewalk outside the Uni-
corn Cafe, 1710 17th St., N. W., at

Council Considers Bresler’s
Proposal for Joint Planning

by Sid Kastner : i

City council began its regular Monday night meeting at a lei--

surely pace, with the dry topic of insurance bids, and ended up with

a spirited discussion of whether a community should allow a de-
veloper to share in its planning responsibilities.

The exchange was prompted by
the subbmission of the Advisory
Planning Board's report on a pro-
posal, by the developer, Charles
Bresler, for the joint development
of a master plan. The proposal es-
sentially would provide for the pre-
paration of an over-all land use
plan and detailed parcel plans, at
an estimated cost of $8000, with
the city and developer sharing this
cost equally.

Reasons given by the board for
rejection of the proposal were that
some of the contemplated work has
already been carried out or is in
progress (by the board and the
Maryland National Capital Park and
Planning Commission) and that
joint financing of a master plan
could lead to conflict of. interest
on the part of the developer.

Police Rews Review

On Tuesday of last week, a resi-
dent called and complained of van-
dalism to his car, stating that tail
lights and antenna were missing
this time but that on previous o¢-
casions, other things have also been
taken from his car. This happens
in the area of 16 Ridge.

A resident of Southway called
police to investigate a possible case
of breaking and entering. Investi-
gation failed to show signs of ille-
gal entry into the house but tools
were found scattered inside and
the television set showed signs of
being tampered with.

A North End resident notified
police that her little girl had been
struck by a bicycle. Her head had
been cut, and she \was taken to
a doctor for treatment. The parents
of the child riding the bike were
contacted and they agreed to pay
the medical bill.

A case of littering at the end of
Ridge Road near the water tower
was reported last Wednesday. In-
vestigation of the debris turned
up an envelope with a resident’s
name on it. The person was con-
tacted and made to clean the area.

An off-duty Greenbelt policeman
spotted a car on the Parkway with
furniture being carried on top of it.
The furniture was burning. The
policeman went on to report the
fire but when the equipment arrived
on the scene, the car was gone. On
the side of the road rested the
burning chair.

A call came in to the police office
asking for assistance because a
dog had gotten, his hind paw caught
near the bottom of one of the kit-
chen cabinets. Buddy Attick, head
of the Public Works Department,
went to the house and freed the
animal.

On Thursday, a resident spotted
a speeding car near the Center and
reported it to police. The suspected
Speeder was apprehended through
identification of the reported li-
cense number, but the complaining
party did not wish to make any
charges and therefore the man was
released.

A fourteen vear old girl was
questioned by police on charges by
a resident that the girl broke the
windshield of a car. The girl’s par-
ents agreed to pay the repair bill
so no further action was taken.

On Saturday, the owner of the
laundromat complained to police
that one of their machines had
been broken into and an undeter-
mined amount of money. stolen.

Birner Heads School

Rev. Edward H. Birner has ag-
ain been invited to be dean of the
Advanced Lutheran Service Volun-
teer School, this time at Huron
College in London, Ontario, Can-
ada, from August 19 through the
24th. He previously served in the
same capacity at Wilbraham Aca-
demy, Wilbraham, Massachusetts
in July.

This training school for youth
group leaders, aged 15 - 18, is pre-
sented under the joint sponsorship
of the Walther League, which is
the official youth organization for
the Lutheran Church - Missouri
Synod, and the Board for Young
People’s Work.

Councilman Dave Champion
though he moved to accept the
board report, voiced strongly his.
opinion that the city might be over-
looking an excellent opportunity to
achieve effective planning by work-~
ing with the developer. He quoted
from the general plan of the MNC-
PPC to support his contention that
the report was vague in certain
respects and probably would not
be carried out for several years,

Clifford Simonson, speaking for
the board, expressed the view gi-
ven in the report that developer
participation would represent a con-
flict of interest, and also noted that
the developer-would not actually be
bound by the joint plan. Cham-
pion and Mayor Francis White re-
plied that they felt the developer’s
own interests would ensure compli-.
ance with sound planning.

Councilman Thomas Canning mo--
ved that the developer’s proposal be:
rejected, giving as his main reason
reluctance to commit taxpayers to
paying for any part of a private
development. However, Ben Gold-.
faden spoke against the motion,
saying that he was undecided and
felt it was better to wait and dis-
cuss the matter with the developer,
Canning thereupon moved to table
his motion, and the participants
agreed to continue the discussion
Tuesday night.

(Bditor’s note: After further dis-
cussion at the Tuesday meeting,
council again tabled the motion —
to the next regularly scheduled

_ meeting.)

Insurance Bids

Insurance bids’ on such city
items as workmen’s compensa-
tion and comprehensive liability
were awarded to Nationwide In-
surance Co., which submitted low
bids in five out of seven items. A.
H. Smith Co. had the low bid for
smooth seal road treatment, al-
though council members were kept:
busy with calculations before this;
fact was established.

Other forthcoming city expenses:
were detailed by city manager
Charles McDonald, who gave en-
gineering cost estimates for the
following capital improvement.
items: Greenhill Road completion -—
$700, Northway sidewalks — $150,
Northway widening - $150, Wood-
land Way paving and gutters - $475.

A request was made by W. Ste-
venson, on behalf of Lakeside resi-
dents, for $335 for garden mater-
ials to plant in Lakeview circle.
Council members felt, however, that
the Center mall had a higher prior-
ity at the present time, and on a
motion by Goldfaden authorized less
expensive seeding or sodding of
the circle instead.

Police Chief

A major item for discussion at
the Tuesday night meeting of coun-
cil was a job description for the
post of police chief. On a 3-2 vote,
council agreed on a set of qualifi-
cations which are detailed on a
classified advertisement on the next
page.

After tabling the motion on the
Bresler proposal and authorizing 15
days’ advanced sick leave for Ruth
Fredericks, night switchboard op-
erator, who is currently in the hos-
pital, council adjourned till next
Monday night. At that time, they
will continue with discussion of this
week’s agenda (probably about 9
p.m.) following an executive session.

Berwyn Barbers Winners

The Berwyn Barbers of the Green-
belt Slow-Pitch League have just
completed one of their most suc-
cessful seasons by knocking off the
Collegians in two games out of
three for the League championship.

Led by manager Nellie Goodall
and backed by such Players as Tex
Sparks, Bob Murray, John Lewis,
Neal Vaughan, Bill Moore, Bud
Bauer and Al Dean, to name a few,
they compiled an imposing 10 ana
2 record in regular League play
and then came on to win the first
game by a score of 11 to 2 and the
second game 11 to 3 to walk off
with the championship.
