Xmas Packages For Servicemen

ArP you 1><-ginning to wond~r R·

bout filling that Christmas package to a servicMJlan stationed Ovene&ll

'and when to mall It!

R'ome-baked cookies, snapshots of family and friends and taped voices are among the gtfts he'll most enjoy ~g !D his ~1 post stocking.

American Red Cross !~taft W<lrk­ing with U.S. forces in Vietnam and other overseas military Installa­tions report these are the most meaningful gifts which usually bi'ing baek warm memories of fun and family holidays.

Other Items suggested by Red Cross as preferred by service per­sonnel included: paperback books, current Issues of sports and au­tomobile magazines; waSh clothes; 1108.p bars on ·ropes; wailh and dry towelettes; pocket calendars; a:nd plastic picture a.nQ identification holders.

There Is also a .real necessity for ballpoint pens with caps, sta­tionery and self-sealing envelopes.

Almost as important as its con­tents, are the way gifts are pack­aged and when they are mailed Two excellent a.nQ practical pack­ing methods utfiize hometown newspapers to reinforce boxes. thus providing local reading matter for the serviceman, and mounds of un­buttered- popcorn, w'hich keep the ISDlall items intaet. Another idea, is to slip in a pocket-sized Christ­mas tree or unbreakable orna­ments with whatever is sent to bring additional Yuletlme cheer.

P'rui tcakes, cookies and brown­ies are favorite choices but these Perishable items must be wrapped individually and packaged In metal airtight oontainers. However, be­cause of mall delivery it is recom­mended that periShable Items be kept to a minimum.

Hard candles, nuts a.nQ chocolate in vaculllll, packed containers are allowable. However, candy (Indi­vidually wrapped or not> tends to get gooey. Small items such e.s chewing gum help fill up corners created when packing cans and other Items of irregular shape, and are a pleasant surprise to the re­ceiver.

Snack Items such as party crack­ers, smoked oysters and canned tUilQ or Chlken a.re high on the list of favorites. AD ltema aboold be In Una and don't forget a small can opener.

Gifts of clothing should be selec­ted carefully, and usually on ape­cttlc request, with the mllltaey lo­cation and climate in mind In !IOIDe areas, heavy work socks can be used, and sweaters and sport shirts are appreciated for off duty leave when civilian olothes a.re allowed to be worn.

Suggested mailing deadlines for !urlace and air travel reiOBBed by the U. S. Post Office include:

PAL (Parcel Alrlift)-PAL mall­lng costs the regule.r post rate from your city to the overseas base. Packages are accepted up to 30 pounds In weight and eo inches In oomhined length and gll'th. Mailing Ill from Oct. 28 - Nov. 30.

PRAB Urgesc~i;/i~~~i:~ut,,~ Of Lutheran Church Property

Jcquisition of the 3.1 acre Lutheran Church site at 22 Ridge Rd. for city use, or failing that, fQr possible development as ~ Sen~or Citizen housing project, or for Greenbelt Homes, Inc., res1denbal housing was_ urged by the city's Park and Recreation Advisory Board .(PRAB) in a report ( #8-~ri) submitted to city council last week.

In light of the presently overburdened Youth Center, PRAB -saw immediate advantages to the city if the church building were used for recreation purpo~s. The report said that the pressure on the money market is such that there is no guarantee. that. the bonds / for' construction of an addition to the Youth Center will be sold within the next few months. The construction phase will then take 18 to 24 months. PRAB predicted that even t!'Je. proposed addition will not accommodate present needs, let alone future needs ..

Little League Banquet Little Leaguers at their October

11 Banquet were advised by guest speaker Joe Branzell to "Be ~rue to yourself and do the very best you can . . . " The Scout for the Washington Senators noted that Greenbelt's young people should be thankful -that they live In a city which has fine community agen­cies. In some areas, be said, young­sters have to walk miles to reaeh a ballfield and then have to play with taped bats and balls.

The banquet, held at the Fire­house, was attended by Little Lea- -guers, their parents, coaches, spon­sors and honored guests. Master of ceremonies was Jim Fountain, president of the Greenbelt Little League. Winning trophies were gi­ven to the boys on the National League Tigers, who were the World Series winners, and to the American League champs, the Cardinals. "Larnie" Palmfll' is manager of the Tigers and AI Rhodes and AI D'­Annunzlo, co!lches. The Cardinals manager Is Ray Lelx:r and Dave Lawson served as coach.

Recipient of the coveted city "Man of the Year" e.ward was Nor­ris Jenkins, coach of the Cubs, who was cited for ''meritorious service to the Youth of G.reenbell" His n.ame wiU be engraved on a plaque In the Youth Center. Mayor Fran­cdl White made tbe presentation.

Fonner Little League Colnmt. lioner and ooach, Walter "Bud" Dean, IIPOIIIOr of the Most Valua­ble Pllayer Awards presented tro-­phles to American Leaguer Bill Herllck (Cardinals) and National Lee.guer Greg Scheibel (Tigers).

Thomas McAndrew, of McAn­prew's Insurance Agency, sponsor of the Rookie of the Year Awards, presented trophies to Mike May­ham of the National ~e Ath­letics and Dennis Small of tile American League Lions.

Recipient of the Sportsmanship Trophy Award sponsored by Nor­man Ressequle of the American Trophy Oomrpany was the Cardin­als.

Our club 'has grown ooMiderably, We are starting otr the new year with 14 members,

PRAB suggested that the pro· ·perty be purchased throug\1 &­

lease-purchase agreement. The city could tbus use the property on an interim basis for reci"E8tion use be­fore deciding whether: (1) to build upon the existing structure) (2) to take advantage of increased land values and sell to Gill or other comparable buyers; or (3) to use It as a "trade' for other lands that development of the ctty might later reveal to be more crucial to c:itywlde needs. The church hal' indicated tbat a lease-purchase agreement would be acceptable to it, acoordlng to PRAB.

PRAB also saw the property UlleCl by the city for adm.lnlstre.tlve of­fice expansion. It said that there Is a serious lack of adequate land and facilities for community and municipal use. The Lutheran buU­dlng; the report said, Is in a rela­tively convenient location with meeting rooms and sanitary facill­tles and can be readUy adapted with minimal cost to meet many rprogram needs, dll!IPite Hmlted parking facilities.

PRAB said that Its recommen­dation a1rords the city unusual ftexib1Uty, while at the same time precluding undeslra~le use of the property.

Last winter the city council ob­jected to the sale of the church property for use by a commercial nUI'IIiDg home. The churCh has In­dicated t1mt If unable to dl8poee of the property in an equitable ~r with either the clt¥ ar GBI. 1.t Would 'be lntentted ID llelllnr to a pi'OIIpeCtlve client at the bi8heR price a11'8ilable. PRAB estimated that to build a faciUty of equal size would oost app.-oxlmatel7 $72,000.

Oouncll has referred PRAB's re­port to the Ad Hoc Committee ap­pointed by council to consider the matter.

Last October Officers Vogel and Hall Wl·re investigating a car with missing wheels at the Springhill Lak<' complex. In the process, they noted a suspicious vehicle stopped .1t a traffic sign.

' What has happ<>ned is th·•t the <'itizPns of Glenn O.ile-St•abrook­L.<tnh.~m living in Pbtnning Area 70 haw qu~stioned the Grt'"enbelt City Council as to what its position will be on a request for a Special Exception for an Automobilt' Park­ing Compound on Good Luck Road n~xt to a wry 'mall piece of pro­)wrty just north of Princess Gar· den Parkway. which in 1947 wa" 7.oned C-1.

commercial and the land for which the special exception has bel'n ro>­quested l, and Safe\\-ay's option . is probably based on the County Com­missioners' approval ·of the special exception request.

Automotive Services More importantly, there are

some six or seven other requests for zoning changes all in the vicin­ity of this request for a special exception. These zoning requests are for C-1, C-2, R-18, R-30 and Townhouse zoning. The Master Plan calls for R-55 and R-80 zoning .for all these parcels,

The question here is. if the spec­ial exception or tho> automobile parking compound is granted, just W'hat will happen to the rest of these requests Which lie between Good Luck Road and Greenbelt Road back of the old Schrom Air­port site and Brae Brooke Villagt>?
