Carr, 21 years old, member of the ftrst class to com­pJete four years at the Greenbelt Hum School has joined the WAVES. She left Saturday night frqm the Union Station in Washi~n, in compa!!y with 58 other garls t'rom the Washington area, for ftve weeks training at the WAVES headquarters at Cedar Falls, Iowa, to ftt her for a berth• as PharmaCist's mate.

The first ceremony of its kind was he!d at the Union Station. Families of the instructees were invited, there was a band. on hand and just before train time the girla eang the WAVES song and marched in formation out to board their train.

Stopping oft' in Chicago to ~e trains for Cedar Falls, the «iris were tak€ln to a USO center tor a "breather'' and while there, Delores was lucky enough to win IL free Dhone cal home. Her motheri Mrs. H. A. Carrf said; "I eel'laln y did get a thri 1 out of the ceremony at the station, but

A new cash registl.lr, new cbeck­inJ~: counter, and six new aectioas of shelving have been added t.t» tbe Food Store this week to relieve the pressure of increasing sales. Thom­as Jeffries, manager of the foC)d store, most of the grocery depat·t­ment staff. and Hun Ha'tvkins worked all night MonCiay and into the wee hours of Tuesday mor·'li:ng installing the new fixtures ana re­arranging the merchandise .

Another repeter Tlie fourth cash register, aoeord­

ing to Thomas Ricker, will be ue.ed primarily as a "high speed regis­ter" for small orders during ru.sh .hours. People purchasing only four or fewer items •ill be ch~m­neled ihrough this register, and need not wait in line behind large "two basket" orders.

The new islands add 54 feet of two-sided shelving. Thl"''O long, continuous islands now run t.he length of the store, giving a low, streamlined effect which )o(lks brifhter and makes y,rocerit..>s easaer to find. Now one ·i!an look from one end of the store and ::.ee things at the other end, bP.cause boxes will no longer have to be piled high above the eye level.

Hot beverages. nu+.s, canned milk, and housebald supplies oc­cupy the fi"t island. Bread, baked goods, all the ftours, and staple cooking essentials are to be found on the second. The thil·d holds pickles and olives, dressings ~.nd catsup, macaroni, spaghetti, dried peas and beans, and all the cer­eals. The soaps have moved to the shelves at the rear of the stl)re and take all the space from the dairy case to the corner.

Santa Will Vi$it Greenbelt Saturday·

Santa Claus bu been a"::beduled for a pre-view in Greenbelt five days before he's due to come em his regular Christmas Eve round. His good . friend Tom Ricker expects him to be in the Theatre Satnrclay afternon at 4 o'clock betweeJlt f~­tures of the matinee, to talk to all the children there. Then h,~·n be at the Variety Store till sup­per time. We understand he has a baJI: full of presents .for good little boya and girls under 1? at the Theatre or who come to see him with a more grown-up.

Plans for Sauta's community Christmas tree, however,. seemed somewhat confused as of this morning. The big evergreert was Shopping Center and d1!cora1:ed today - without the usua.J lights. But no one seems to kn1>w any­thing about the program which customarily accompamied the tree dedication.

Survey to Check Need For Child Care Center

During the past week a· Child Care and ProteCtive Service Q,m­mittee under the auapices of ~he local Parent-Teacher Association and in cooperation with the GreE"n­belt Defense Council hns b?<·n making a house to house sur·rt•y to determine whether the uwn needs a Child Care CentA!r.

The question has been raised u~ to the supervision and opet~ation of such a Center if it is organil:ed. Mrs. l'rlarv Jane Kinzer, dir<•;:tor of adult education, assu»es thoge parenta who would 1M,! placing their children in such a school ~hat the persons in charge would be tr·ai ned in the work and that the ve1·y highest of health standa1·ds wc·uld be enforced.

The survey of the town is the first step in securing funds to set up a day care center for children whose both parents are work,..rg. If 1he survey indicates a d~fi:raite need for such a center, a reque!!t will be made for federal fundu to establish it.

Old Musi'c Box Is Greenbelt Oddity ·

By ANN:E HULL A music box that plays records

is probably one of the most un­usual family posst!ssions that came into town with our defense work­ers. James Beck, of 8-M South­way and Bolling Field,. its owner, says the music box came to him through his stepntother's mother, who lived in Camp Hill, Pa. A small plate affixed to the machine announces that it was made by the Regins Music Bmr Co., with a list of patent dates gc:•ing back to 1889.

The machine is housed in a box of solid mahoguny, elaborately carved,. which re~ts on top of a matching case that holds the rec4

ords the whole sta.nding about four al'd a half feet taU. It has a turn4 stile like an ordinary phonograph except that at onEl side there is an arrangement of slender tongue­shaped keys, a couple of unfa­miliar handles. a:11d a hinged bar that holds the record in place on the spindle. The records are flex­ible metal discs about 18 inches wide, perforated at irregular in­tervals. The rottgh sides of the perforations on ttle lower side of the records pluck at the keys and so produce the music, as the disc revolves on the turnstile.

The only machi:11e similar to this one that the Becks have seen is in the Hershey collec::tion. This playa discs about three times the size of the "Regina's" and shades of the future !-has an a.utomatic chang­ing device.

The Becks hav.e a collection of 63 records that run the gamut from opera to riLgtime, from the "Miserere" to "T:lle Banks of the Wabash." Then~ are waltzes, JDSLrcbes, and hyl'llns, all played in the good old tin]ding music box. style, replete witill flowery grace notes. Popular tunes of the day are represented by "Henrietta (Have you met her?)" "Swim out o~Grady," and ''Little Alabama Coon." And what gay nineties t'ollection would he complete with• out "The Maider.';s Dream?"

A perfectly d£,vastating "man­dolin effect" can be produced by turning a key at the side of the turnstile. This cuts down the reso­nance somewhat~ turning ·the "pings" to "plunks."

Mr. Beek's mu:5ic box made its first public appearance at the fel­lowship supper :;erved by the Men's Bible classE~ of the Commu­nity Church last week. ___ _:__

1943 Budget The town manager's proposed budget for Greenbelt's

next year was offered to the Town Council Monday night and is printed on page 3 of this paper for public inspectiion.

Somehow Mr. Braden has accomplished the miracle of providing a schedule which reduces the per capita cost of runinng the tow11 in times when wages . and prices are straining upwards. To do this many community functions have been marked for comp_arative restriction in view of the additionaJ population, but on the whole essentials seem to be provided for.

What further additions or eliminations may be made to Greenbelt's 1943 financial program will be decided :next Monday night, with all residents given the opportunity of commenting at the public hearing. If there are weaknetsses hidden in· the budget, this public inspection should br.ing them to light.

Paper Bags Much has been said and written about the salvage of

paper and paper bags. It seems wasteful that the bay., in which we carry home our groceries ·should be allowed to accumulate in the kitchen cabinet a'nd to eventually find their way into the trash barrel.

Paper bags are getting scarce and expensive. It is estimated that the cost of packing the average purchase in our Food Store is two cents. When this is multiplied by the number of orders put up in a year's time, a pretty larg~e .sum is expended just to wrap purchases. This,. of cours•e, is added to the cost of the merchandise and detracts f'rom the sum returned to us at the end of the year.

A paper bag has not outlived its usefulne.ss in one using. Practically every one of them can be refolded and uaed again and again. If these bags could be returned. to the store for reuse we could effect a substantial saving and at the same time aid in taking care of our paper shortage.

The whole thing was called to our attention by the residents in 14 Crescent Road who have started to sort their bags into sizes and bundle them. We are in favor of tnak­lng this a town affair. If it should become necessary, we would like to see Greenbelt Consumer Services spouor a drive and have these bundles picked up.

Put Away the Hatchet The Town Administration warns householders to buy

th~ir trees for the holiday season instead of cutting them in the woods around Greenbelt. Cutting a Christmas tree on Federal property seems to be a punishable offenser even though the pine trees here do need thinning, and even though there is a manpower and shipping shortage which makes commercial Christmas trees scarce and high-priced this year.

Director Ben Goldfaden has taken some definite action on the plan to have a basketball league foT.' the men of the town sponsored by the Recreation Department.

From the group of men, who have shown interest in the idea, he has selected team captaina, or better at this time, team organ· izers. The scheme is to have teams named after and composed of men who work at the various govern" ment agencies, schools, service branches and otherwise.

At this writing there are eight groups with a leader and a nucleus, at least, for the formation of the squads. It is not meant to imply that there cannnt be more groups formed and any player, not yet established in a group, may get his contact hy coming down to the gym on class nights, Thursdays.

The league will not start unt.il after the Christmas holidays and there will be a couple of nights in which to get acquainted with the bunch.
