Cooperator l-lospital Campaign Boosted by Washington Papers
A boost for Gn~enbclt a~ a <'OUnty hospital site came fnHll the Washington Post Monday motning, and by other \Vashin~ton dailies in the ~>fter.noon, as a W!sult of the Coopt•t·ator editorial of July 24.
Meanwhile the Coopt•rator has been give•J assurances from offieial sources tt.at an attractive 10-al're site on the water-tower hill not·th of town will be available fre12· tn case the eounty decides on Greenbelt as the location for a hospitaJo: This site would have the advantages of a high a titude for th1s vicinity-250 feet dbove sea level, a so~thern exposure on the hillside, quiet wooded surroundings, close approximity to the highway and to all necessary public uti:ity connections.
Centrally Located Town officials, in backing the
Cooperator's campaign for "Build a hospital here," pointed out that approval for the project would have to be fortheoming from housing officials in \Va~hington, but mdicated that they could SCl' no obstacles to availability of the Gl·ct!nbelt site.

North End Of Town Will Have. Food Market in a Short Time; G. C. S. To Enlarge Drug Store
A new food store will be built in Greenbelt as a result of a "land-lease" agreement with Farni Security Admini~tration whieh was approved by the board' of G.reenbelt. Consumer Services, Inc., at its last meeting, July 29. The decision was announced to the membership of the cooperatiYe at the quarterly meeting Wednesday evening.··
The store will be located in the newest ·sec:ion of Greenbelt between La4rel Hill· Road arid Research Road, pa:-;t Northway.
Women Bo1rlers Form Tourname11tt Teams
\\'omen bowler'' in Greenbelt will form teams for the fall schedule of the oman's Bowling League durof the Woman's Bowling Lea~e during the next two weeks Mrs.
:'It r~. BJ"ittingham is pt esidcnt of the league Mrs. Ronnie 'Vright i" treasurer, and Mrs. Lois Bowlllan is scorekeep•~r. A meeting of !£.ague playe1·s is expected to be calll·d within two weeks.
Bowling fo1· the tournameut will extend over several months and will be held at the College Park Bowling Alleys. New bowll' rs arnong the Greenbelt women have been extendeci a particular : r, ~; &.ut..iun -..u tJaa·l.icipate and may 1 t•J.!:isteJ· by phoning )Irs. Brittingham at Gr~enbclt 5486.
Administrati<m Office Takes $21,000 In Bonds
The Gn·enbclt administrative ofri,.,. staff has suh~cdbed to $2l,OJO in \Vur Bonds, it was announced '.].,nda~·. \\'ith a quota of 96 per u·nt of Fl·denll employees to reach, th,· "tatf went over that mark with !•ri..l Jll'l" ct•nt on :.Ionday, with the •·x pt·cta t ion that it would reach !flO Jll'l' e•m t by th.~ end of this '.n·,·k. It wa,; e>xplained that thl' remaining 5.6 pu· cent had not l•t•t•n n•aehed, yet since some t>m'""Yf'l'S are on v~:.cation.
Larger -Than Preaent Store The material to be used in conj
struction is not known at present and will be decided hY the War Production Board when .the necessary priority rating is granted. However, the type i>f constr'tlction will be smilar to the defense homes, the building will cover an area 48 feet by 9& feet, which is slightly larger than that of the present food store. Specifications are being drawn now, and t'he building- contract \\'ill be let as soon as the priority ratinQ; is obtained.
Tom Ricker, G. C. S. manager, is hopeful that the new store will be completed in 95 days. ·
$10,000 For Equipment The terms of the ground lease
include a rental rate of $360 plus taxes, payable annually for a period of 40 years. The equipment cost of $10,000 will be paid from present capital of Greenbelt Consumer Services. About $12,000 worth of inventory will be purchased with the aid of the Con• sumer Distribution Corporation of New York, which has helped to' start many cooperatives throughout the country, including the original Greenbelt stores.·
Store To Cott $30,000 Most of the building cost::; will
be financed by · Southern States Cooperative, Inc. whose head<JUarters are in Richmond, Virginia. They will lend $20,000 on a five-year mortgage. The Prince Georges Bank and Trust Company has agreed to lend an additional $10,000 for a two-yPar period.
Milestone in G. C. S. Career Mr. Ricker feels that the ne,-
food store will probably be the most important milestone in the history of Greenbelt cooperatives since it is expected to bring the total business of the stores to the million dollar mark. This will be an even g-reater jump than the increase in average weekly sales for all the stores from $5500, which was the volume in Greenbelt's earlier days to the present figure of $15,000. .
The present food store will continue to operate, and its policies will be maintained in the new grocery ~tore, although the two will be under s-eparate management.
Other Stores to Be Enlarged G. C. S. is also planning the en
largement of the pres~nt Drug Store, Beauty Shop, and Food Store, to enable them to provide more eflicient service for the constantly-increasing population of Greenbelt. New soda fountain equipment will be installed in the corner now occupied by the candy and ci~ar counter of the Drug

A New Store Long-delayed action on additional shopping facilities
for Greenbelt residents will meet with immediate response here as a solution to our crowded food store and drug store.
Location of the new construction in the new section north of the original town will arouse some criticism from those who want everything possible done to keep alJ of Greenbelt tightly knit into a single community. Erection t)f a second school and a second food stor~ in the new area fozo new residents may well create a feeling of separatism which would be unhealthy for the civic spirit which ha.s meant so much to the town. The practical advantages of cutting down distanc~, however, easily outweigh our sociological fears. In these months when transportation is diffi. cult our cooperatively owned and operated shops must bt~ fully aware of a responsibility to all Greenbelt residents whether or not they are members. The new location will be more convenient for occupants of the new houses, and will relieve the pressure now occasioned by crowding.
Operating on slim capital margins the board of directors elected by customer-owners of our stores have an important job ahead of them in this next year. Despite priorities and shortages stores must be built or enlarged. Despite ri:>ing costs and increasing labor scarcity retail prices must always match those of neighboring stores, and our clerks and managers must be courteous and efficient. Quite an assign. ment, and one demanding the cooperation of all Greenbelt.
Precinct No.3 Establishrr,ent of Greenbelt as a new voting precinct
separate from Branchville is a victory for all of us and a climl!x to the three-year fight of one of our neighbors-Judge Thomas Freeman. In September, for the first time, Greenbelters will go to the polls for state elections within their own town limits.
Not that we objected to Branchville as a voting place-· for Branchville residents. Somehow we just could not se~ much reason in having some 400 voters leaving the compact little town that is Greenbelt and go prowling down the old dirt road for a six-mile round trip to cast votes. With the ne wroad aQout to be completed some day the trip would be pleasanter but more difficult now that a gas and tire shortage plagues us.
Having our own polling place should stimulate more . residents to declare for Maryland citizenship and registral
tion. The reorganization of the precincts within the 2 b1t District has made Greenbelt a part of the Maryland community politically.
One note of caution: Let budding political enthusiast:-> on the local scene not go rushing into the fight for office with unseeming haste. There are other people in this new precinct besides Greenbelters, and we are still regarded a1:->
newcomers by the old residents of some neighboring communities.
Shuttle Bus Again Only a few days remain for Greenbelt transportation
questionnaires to be filled out and turned in to the administration office. The original deadline ha:-> already passt'd. So few have been submitted that the data will not be used at the public service hearings in Baltimore unless a special effort at this last moment brings in additional dozen:-> of th·~ completed questionnaires.
Perhaps Greenbelters are tired and disgusted with the public transportation and jeJieve that after these long years of wrangling· with Capital Transit Company little i,to be gained by further efforts. \Vithout the effoz·t which we have expended, however, we might ha,·e c\'tm won.:v facilities than are now available. At least we can not ri:•k worse bus schedules at this time. Copies of the que:-;tionnaires arc available at the admiistration office. Fillin)l oltt on(> tommTow may gi\·e you better ~ransportation to your work next month.

----------------One Thing Well
BJ' D. W. GREENBELT It'll great to see a chap .
Who works along at tasks, While others sit and loaf and nap
Or in the sunlight bask.
He may not be a shining li«bt Who dazzles with his akifi.
But working far into"the night He does it with a will.
I like to see a fellow dig For things he wants to know
And build his house so grand and big, 1
A house of mind and eou . Some day his praises we vrill ~in~
And stories we will tell . About the chap who does one thma
And learned to do it well.

Belp Clear The Lines For War Calls
Such great quantities of critical materials are needed for ships and weapons with which to fiqht and win the war that we can no lonqer continue to expand telephone facilities as we have in the past.,
As Local and Lonq Distance calls continue to grow it becomes imperative to n1ake more careful and efficient use of the present telephone facilities we have.
~'lU~'t 'fD" pJet:ue . .. * Make fewer and briefer Lonq Distance calls. * Try to call in the less busy hours-noon to·2 p.m.-5 to 7 p.m.-after 10 p.m. * Cut down the number and ' length of Local calls as wellespecially on party llnes.
Thank you. We knew you'd be glad to cooperate in saving calls-so Uncle Sam can make 'em.

Coo;perator Campaign (Continued from Page 1)
:-l'Vet·al hospital sites for the county commissioners. The Coopernto1· Nlitorial. tog-eth·~r with other in· formation on the Greenbelt bid, has been sent t<:• those responsible for the hospital's location.
Stanley Ostler·, president of the Citizens' Association, announces that t.hat organ:zation is backing the campaign to the limit and has alr·eac y sent letters to the committet:· in charge of naming the hospital site.
It is expected that the Green· belt Town Council v.ill take formal action to supplement efforts ~h1ch were made last .ranuary when the local hospital closed its doors for lack of funds. That experiment, too small to be economically oper· ated, and located in an inadequate structure, left the county without •' hospital when it closed.
