F. LI'ITLE GETS $250 FINE
IN MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE
A $250 fine was the penalty Frank s. Little paid
for conviction last week in the hit.-run killing of
little Allen Underwood on the night of August 25.
Mr. Little pleaded guilty to the charge of mazr.
slaughter 'When the case was heard at Upper Marlboro
am no trial wao held.
The trial bad originally been scheduled for October 25 1 am Chief Wallace F. Mabee, With Yale Hu£1'mm,Albert Attick, Charles Walker, Yarshall Montie,
and F.B.I. agent Magee went down on that date to
testit,y and offer evidence which had been collected
after the accident. After waiting at Upper Marlboro all day they were told the case would be postponed. When the case came up October .30 no one in
Greenbelt was notified and the evidence collP.cted
was not called for.
Mr. Little surrendered himself to C!rl.e£ Mabee
and Louis Makall, county police officer, Septenber
101 near~ three weeks after the accident occurred.
At the time of his arrest he was unable to give a
coherent account of his whereaLouts follO!!ine the
crash on Ridge Road.
Evidence collected by Greenbelt police included
a hub cap from the death car near the scene or the
accident and paint from the boy's bicycle on the

Greenbelt Stores Ear·n
$1613 in Third Quarter
A net profit of $1 1 613 forthe SU1D11er quarter ending October 1 was shown in the recently completed
audit of Greenbelt Consumer Services, Inc. '!he period was the third successive profitable quarter for
the s'b:>res, bringing the total profit since January
.1, 1939 to $41 ?71. '!he $1,613 profit was a decline
from the previqus quarter• s earnings of $2,145.
Commentll'lg on the results, Sulo Laakso, gmeral
manager, said1 mwe are pleased with the result as a
'llhole, as the summer is the most di!'ficult quarter
ll1 the year 'b:> pull t..'lu'ough, due to decline in business because of vacatinns and warm weather."
The outstandll'lg improvement sho"'''l'l in the audit has
the Theater• s $29C) profit, as coriipared with a $261
loss for the previous quarter. Part of the inprovement can t:e attributed to a seasonal rise .in busiress,
but steady lmprovement is noted in a 10 per cent mcreas~ in operating expense ratio.

and Drug stores
and the Service Station did not have sufficient margin to carry their share of the administration and
promotional overhead. 'nle net loss of the combined
Variety and Drug Store was $709, although the total
sales increased slightly over $1 1 000. The loss was
due chiefly to a drop in lWlch department am Sundry
margins. According to Mr. lAakso, he has already
instituted a weekly inventory in the lunch department and will continue this Wltil the condition ie
rectifil3d.
A sim1J..ar but less serious situ&tion exists in
the Service Station, where the margin on accessories
decreased. An inventory taken in the Service St,a..
tion on October 31 revealed an excessive~ high
mark up over the 1~ figure for the October 1 inventory which leads to the conclusion that an error
was made in the original inventory. The Service
Station showed a net loss of $38 this quart3r 1 as
compared with a profit of $593 for the previous
quarter. However, there is an expected rebate of
approximately $100 from Southern States Cooperative
Wholesale, which supplies gasoline. This cannot be
credited to the depar'bnent until it has been received in the office. In the previoua quarter the
Service Station rec:ehed over $400 in a rebate for
the previous year's business 1 which produced Ill abno~ high net profit.
The Food Store showed a net profit of $1,871, ae
canpared wlth $1,834 for the previous quarter. Sales
were seasonally off about $9001 ~t gross ~:~trgin was
up slightly, am expenses down .1 per cent. '!he

the summer, which is a seasonal decline that will
have to be faced every summer.

for the Beauty Shop, which was only open dur~
the month of September, the ret earnings were $20.
'l!le educatior.al expense, covering the expenses
of the Cooperative Organizing Committee and of the
educational director, was .8 per cent, the same 88
last quarter. Administrative expense, covering
bookkeeping, stenography1 and general manager saJ.IU"ies, also was the same as last quarter, 3.6 per
cent.

I m high~ pleased with the "Madonna and Child" 1
carved from stone 'b7 Lenore 'lbomas, now gracing our .
UercantUe Center. I think it well conceived am
well created.
In other words I like the idea itself'. A mother
giving a clrink to her child stt~ to me a fitting
expression of' the basic idea of' Greenbelt. This
whole conununity is centered around the ideal that
the chUd should drink freely, at the hands of' his
parents, fran the flow of' spiritual as well as ~
terial nourishment whid'l is naturally his heritage,
but which is so often poisoned by contact with
modern communities.
And I like the form Miss Thomas has given the
idea. It seems to me particular~ fitting to Greenbelt--simple lines; sturdy, strong, rugged. 1'bere
is nothing delicate, nothing pretentious, nothing
elegant aboot it. But there is in it an idea. significant to human welfare, and an honest effort to
make that idea real. All this may be said of Greenbelt itself'.
I hope those who scoff at 11hat is known e.s mG<lern
art won't pass .final judgment on W.ss Thomas' work
until they haTe gj,ven a chance to beca:l8 integrated
with its background. I hope when it ceases to be
a novelty, something strange, it will be recognized
as a .!'itting part of the scene that is unique~
Greenbelt.

Although the only fonnal business transacted by
the Cooperative Organizing ColliL"Iittee at its regular
meeting last 'lbursday was to instruct the chaiman
to appoint an auditing colllllittee to go over the
treasurer's books, the cCIIIIllittee gave considerable
intonnal attention to the auditor• s report on the
local stores for the third quarter of this year, an
anllysis of which appears elsewhere in this issue of
the Cooperator. It also cmsidered with General
Manager Sulo Laakso problems presented 'b)r1he report.
A letter from the Department of' Agriculture Solicitor expressing general appl"CJV'al of the colllllittee• s
proposed by-laws and financial agreement 1 while making several suggestions .t'or :!mJl'fOvements, was also
read.
No new action was taken .on organization of

As I turn again to a collection of leaflets fran
the cathedral Church ot st. Paul chss in personal
religion, I tind a signiticant statement ot a man 'b7
the Dlll:le ot c. F. Andrews, whose testimoey merits
your attentim arxi coosideration.
"Very grad'lial.ly' the practice o.r the presence of
God, with its deep arxi silent COJIIIranion, became an
abiding joy to me as rq· heart was ·1110re at leisure
1'ran itselt. Instead of the former restlessness 1 a
new peace came fiowing in. Far beyond all human
words to elpress it, rq one supreme joy was this,
that the consciousness ot Christ's own living presence was brought intimateq near to me with a tullnsss of love that I had never known before ••• Jat u
! had felt a elcsa cc::r~"'.ionsh!;l idth Christ in the
midst of human needs among the poor and the need;y,
by the bed.Die ot the sick and sut'fering 1 in the
loneliness of the stranger, among the outcast and
de~iled-ao now I felt Bie preeence in a ·new and
11ving way through this deep peace which had fiooded
~ "iJJOle being. llhat had been almost fugitive betcre
became now 1110re constant, and I longed to enter into
its glorious completeness. thflre were the sacrement
of loving service in the outer world and tm sacr...
ment of silent cOCllllWlion in the inner chamber of the
heart."
He vividly describ~s an experience with Asiatic
cholera as an illU8tration of the neameas ot "b
Presence" in the valley of the ehadO'w of death.
"P':lr many dqs the awareneaa of an;r OC&tward thial
was only fitful, while I hovered betnen life and
death. Yet the tm.r peace r...med. 'the hUIIIID
love of Rabindranath Tagore himself, who was w1 th
me, and tile deep affection of a village student and
a ~hanr.ledan khtp!!!!!!!h who sernd me in my pain,
broueht very near indeed to me the lo-ve o! Cbriat
Himself. For He was ever b7 1111 side confronting and
supporting me. The veil of outward things had become so thin that I could aliiiOst aee R1m face to
face ••• o-u.t of that intermediate state of death in
life and life in death, through which I had pa s~ecl
for many days, I awoke at last 1Dto a new world.
Old things had pasaed away and ll'llCib o! 1111 fo1'1181"
restlessness had gone. For when mortal weakness had
reached its utmost limit, God's illllortal etrqth
had been revealed."
Prayera "Almighty God, llho art the ultimate
source of health and healing, the spirit of calm and
the central peace of the univarse; grant ~.., us, ~
children, such, a consciousness of they inlwell.ing
presence as may give us utter confidence in 'lbee."

impressed.

A Baby Grows Up
llaly a new-bom child has to pass through difficult times before getting off to a good start. Experimentation with formula after fonrul.a is often
necessary before the correct one is hit upon that
llill insure tor ~e baby a normal and heal tey growth.
Such has been the r..ase Yith one of our om new
born. the Greenbelt Health As!Wciation. When thie
orgaldzation was formed in April 1938, 110metlling was
apparently lacking in the formula. one of the m&in
difficulties wns the inability to obtain a capable
doctor who believed in cooperative medicin!'t, with
the result that the Greenbelt Health Association
to\md itself 1n a precarious position in JanW11"1,
1939. It had accumulated a financial deficit of
nearly $700; it W&8 left without a doctor; and its
membership had become discouraged and increasingly
skeptical.
But with the advent of a new Jitysieian in February 10, the correct formula was discovered. 'lbe
sick infant took on new life and started to grow.
A second physician was added to fortify t.'le diet of
this rejuvenated child; membership increased rapid-~ 1 with the result that a third physician was recently appointed. steady growth of the Health Aesociation has today reached a stronG membership of
:no familiesj c.ompa-l"ed nth 100 nt the begiw.ing of
the year. The detailed financial reports given at
the last quarterly meeting show that the deficit of
$700 has been completely wiped out, arr:i a reserve
i'lmd is rapidly being built. The Association now
offers the services of three higtlly sldlleJ. doctors
a 1'ull time nl.n"se and a business manager who believe
in cooperative medicine and llho are w:llllng to make
sacrifices to insure its growth.
The membe:'s of the Greenbelt Health Association
and particular~ the board of directors who have
contributed so much o! their time am effort toward
its succe,s, are to be congratulated. ~iven the
supJX)rt ot the ccmmunity, the Association can go
a long way towards reonoving the haunting fear of
sickness and its attendant bills.

SWA'l' THAT PEST
To the F.ditort
We would like to ask · the cooperation of all
Greenbelt residents relative to reporting door-todoor solicit~ in the community. A community referendum taken about a year ago required all door-todoor solicitors to obtain written pennission from
the office before canvassi~ the town. This pel'mission was not required in the case of laundries,
dairies, and Vtlldors of food stuffs. However, since
that time only one written permission was given am
thn.t was in the case of the m.adensburg Rescue Squad
who used the proceeds of their wol1< for the support
of their service.
There have been several cases recently of solicitors coming in without permission and canvassing for
several dqs before they were reported or apprehended. In several of these instclces, alsoj residmts
reported a loss of money due to poorcpality of goods
received or failure to deliver goods ordered.
For the protection of the comnnmity as well as to
el:lminate the nuisance of repeated do,r-to-doar canvassing, we would like to have the cooperation of
the Greenbelt residents in reporting solicitors who
do not have written permisston. A teleJilone call
tv the o.tf.ice is all that is required to start investigation of unofficlal solicl ting.
This letter was written at the request of the
Better B'~r' s Club.

pletely allayed ~ fears by explaining that the
sche;ne would not work out the way I had figured at
all. Fach famil.;y would be taxed about $4, the main
object being to get a certain sum which 110uld cover
the budget. Well, when I received rcy bill the other
day, I found that my worst fears were only too well
foumed. Instead of paying $4, I am supposed to p83l'
almost no, 'While rrty next door neighbor pays nothing
at all. This is exactly what I told Mr. East would
happen. The whole tax burden of the town of Greenbelt is carried by a few already overtaxed auto
owners, while the majority is paying a small trine,
or no thin!; at all.
An autolllObile is not a luxury in Greenbelt. It
is a dire necessity. 'Ibis I realize more and more
every tine I pick up some stranded passengers down
in Berwyn. Why thm should the car owners be penalbed2
I have already received a statement for taxes on

I'll have to pe,y another $8 in addition to this, and
to top it off I am now the proud possessor of this

YOUR COOPERATIVE'S lOYAL OPRJSmoN
· 'l'o the F.dito:r t
As chairman of the Coop~ative Organizing C.olll!ttlttee, Walter Volckhausen1 last week subr.litted to
readers of the Cooperator "A Point of Information"
regarding the new polic.y of organization which recen~ came into favor with a majority of the c.o.c.
'l!le policy outlined is a departure from. past thinking. From the beginning it was 1-lanned t.o take over
the local business enterprises when fully paid subscriptions were received from 443 dwelUng units in
Greenbelt. It is now proposed to proceed with alx>ut
235 dwelling units represented by pa:I.d-up subscri~
tions. All subscribers should be aware of the shift
in attitude and objective because the f1nal determination of the matter rests with them.
'Jlle minority view of Mr. Custer and Dzy"Self is
based on l"ather fundamental considerations. We are
not impatient to assume the risks of' business enterprise; rather we believe the busine:1s-like character of the undertaking should be euphasized by
facing Greenbelt subscribers with th'e fact that
share pledges should be met in full. Disappoint.ment
new because i:moediate fonnation of the cooperative
1s JX>stponed is regarded as a lesser evil than the
realization at a later date that Orcenhelt. peoplu
have not been brought to understand tile absolute
necessity of giving their cooperative the financial
support vi tal to a heal t.r'zy Lusin,;g:s. '\ie iU'e not
merely lfishf1li; 456 dwellings are represented by
sub·u~ribers and the fact that 221 of that number
are not fully paid creates a condition, not to be
shirked by the c.o.c., but solved by that body. We
are not obstructiord.sts; the cooperative can be
ton-ed and can be succesaf'ully operated with ft!ffer
than 443 dwellings tmits represented in the memhP_r.
ship1 but it smacks of defeatism to accept now a
goal !'lMY't of t.hP orig:Lnal plM1.
When formed, the local cooperative will be in
debt to c.n.c. to the extent of approximately
$30 1 000. Every dollar of Greenbelt money subscribed
serves to reduce that debt, in consequence of ~;ich
y;e shall be paying interest to our OliTl membership
rather than to an outside corporation. Retirement
of that sizeable debt will be a "live issue" witb
t.'lle local cooperative for some years to cor.1e 1 re.•
gardless of when or how it is formed. We shall be
off on the right foot if Greenbelt people see the
picture whole; if they realize that share obligations r.n~t be met; if i.h81J appreciate that "ownership" of the cooperative depends on retiring a substantial debt. How mucll internal energy the local
cooperative develops depends necessarily on haw much
the people contribute to it (in cash and spirit).
To "carey along" subscribers not fully paid can only
serve to dilute the internal energy of the organization.
What to do with a membership divided within itself as to those fully J,:8id and 1t:ose paid tt1l.y in
part is e. lesser, if thon-~ 1 factor in the attitude
taken by Mr. Custer and myself.

To the Editors
The C011111uni1if Chest campaign which opened on
November S will run until the 22Dd. This year again
the Greenbelt Welfare Committee is handling the
drift as part of the suburban unit. It has been
Ca.mitr Cheat JDOD81 which has lubricated the ~
chiner;r or the Greenbelt Welfare COIIIIIittee since
last )(arch, and we feel that f!ff8f'1 Greenbelt citizen baa a real interest in the Cheat and should consider it the beat outlet tor his or her charitable
interests.
llost large American cities have by now adopted
the Coamunity Chest method u the best one tor
raising, administering, and supervising charitable
funds, thua doing away with the overlap.!Jing of organization work and ensuring a democratic distribution ot tunda to all types of needy 1 while relieving the public and the teclmieal statts ot the
member orllanizations ot the pressiM task of carrying on tnnumerable drives. oVer ~~ 1~8t 10 y~ars
sinee the setting up ot the Chest in Wuhington the
overhead cost o! tbese organizations has been cat
down to 7•1' per cent fran 25 ~r oent. Reeen~
1111D1 «Sbltt cities haft, like W&L--1J:Igton, enlarpd
their organizations to include outl.ying dilt.rlcte
in a "Greater Metropoll tan" area. This was a forward step, since as in Gre«1belt, most or the residents make their li'V'elihood in the city a1d JanatA!l
their money at their place ot business while
the
needy in their own cOIIIDUni ties were uncared tor.

"I Want the Real Facts
on Diaper Service''
Wary Buyers Fall Easy Prey
To Modern Methods
"Shoulder lamb chops at 17 cents per poundl"
What·thrifty housewife could resist that challenge
to her frugality?
A half-dozen Better Buyers went the rounds among
the different retail outlets of one chain last week
and bought lamb chops in each place---supposedly at
the price advertised.
\'lhen they go home, they weighed their purchases,
canputed the cost per pound-and this· is what tht:V
f<Uld: (Three chops were bought in each store)

Since the meat carried no grade the purchaser
found it dif'ficult to determine the quality of lar.lb
she was getting. What she paid per pound could be
determined only by careful weighing and co.mputing.
And were their faces red when they completed
their computations? '!he pt>or lambs ha4 been led to
the slaughter.

Your baby is entitled to the same diaper

Weigh these facts. The diapers you get
trom us are not ordinary diapers. Every
single one of them is washed with spe..
cial soaps. Sterilized! Then fluffed!
Dried! And especially protected for
maximum purity and softness!
These are important to your baby
just as they are important to the most

·vou've -seen the- Planes
Have You Seen The Field?
by
Harjorie Jane Ketcham
'!his is the first of a new series of articles
places to go am thinea to do 1n and aroUDd
Greenbel. t. It is s:l.nc~rely hoped that they will
open ;your eyes to things you have not seen before, or things you have seen but have not had
ambition to do.
Schrom Airport is re~ a "Believe it or Not",
as it is located on a hilU Yet with this handicap, Fred Schro1.t has suc~eeded in creating an up•todate fi;r.Lnc, field of it 1n the past ten to twelve
years. Because of the- greater interest t.hat is
being shaw in flying year a.fter year, he has
been able to build a n~ !.!ld larger !>.sr.;e.r, make
room for more planes, and accoiiiiiOdate lll8lV more student.' and paasengers with the help of his f'1ying
instructor1 Kimball Scribner.
Probably vwry fn residents in Greenbelt have
seen the beautitul town they live in from the air.
'lftlen we look at a model of Greenbelt such as the one
in the Administration Office, it is hard to believe
that "OUr Town" can really look like a 111118ll group
of doll houces or match boxes, with a mirror for a
lake, sawdust for grass, and sponges !or trees. 'l'lben
I had the chance to go up several weeks a{;o, I was
truth!'ul.ly half afraid to do it,but after taking off
I was thrilled beyond words to describe what I eaw.
011
To me it was like a huge moving picture in which
--mere hwnan beings harl but the SIDSllest part. The
lead was taken by Earth, who at this t:Une oi the
year is dressed up, it seemed, just for such· occasions. It is a memory that w:l.l.l live long after
others have faded. You will not be satisfied untlJ.
you ha~ gone up again and again. See it what I
have said is not true ••• ,,, •• ,.
Y.cy1ng at one time or another has been an ambiti~ that has lived in the heart of every fellow,and
even a llUIIIber of the fairer sex. we dream of scme
day ~g one of the models we have made and stored
in the attic or cellar; or of owning a ship of our
01m which we can fl:y to our heart• s content. Up to
the pre3ent time these have been dre81:ls of ;youth.
Now, through the aid of Uncle Sam liho has appropriAterl. money to help these dreams come true, we can
learn to fiy at a very moderate cost. As a result
of a new Federal project, the mll.versity of Maryland
and George Washington University are training a
certain number of students to fl.y each year for a
5-,-ear period of time. This number will include 10
percent of non-college students. Uost of the training cost will be carried by the Faderal. Government.
'l'he only costs to the student will be insuranc~,
tuition, am class fees. The total eost to the student woo.ld run less than $40. It was pointed out to
me by Ur. Scribner that this course would take a
student through his private license, which would
per::Ut hun to carey passengers. Alt.lwu,;h it wruld
not constitute a career in nyir-t;, it 11K>uld certatnly afford him with a ver-1 wort.ltwhile pastL'l8 and
hobb:\·.
