Pepco PoiE~s Pose Pressing Problem

Several complainU:! have bee'n received by GVHC about Potomac Electric Power Co. putting up light , poles in Greenbelt. Com­plaining membe'rs appeared before the board last Thursday to regis­ter their objections. In the dis­cussion which followed it was brought out that PEPCO was re­placing the· internal court and; walkway lights thr-oughout the community. Howeve·r, instead of using the low-level metal fixtures previously installed by the gov­ernment, the electric company is putting in high wood poles for overhead lighting. Furthermore, i~:stead of using the underground wiring which is already in place, PEPCO is installing ne'W over­head wiring.

<Queried as to wh:r the govern­ment fixtures w-ere not being utiliz­ed, rather than put.ting up new light poles, City Mane.ge'r Charles McDonald informed The Coopera­tor that it was his u'nderstanding that PEPCO had never establish­ed rates in Maryland for under­ground wiring systems. PEPCO claims, he said, that the use' of an underground system involves serious maintena.rice probrems, which ·they are reluctant to un­dertake.)

Among the complaints voiced was that some of the lights will be located so as to shine in bedroom windows at night, and the fact that PEPCO was placing some poles on members' property rath­er than directly along walkways. According to McDonald, however, only 26 Hght. poles are being in­stalled by· PEPCO, and a few may be placed in hedgelines which are only two feet from the walkways, the' rest being placed oirectly along the walkways.

After considering the com­plaints, the GVHC board lted, with Percy Andros opposing, to have general counsel Abe Chasa­now register a prote'st with both the city council and PEPCO. On t.he basis of the information avail­able, it appearec., said Chasanow, that PEPCO might be charged with trespassing.

Andros, explaining his opposi­tion to the board's action in an exclusive statement to The Co~ operator, said: "I am in favor of

Mrs. Adelbert C. Long, welfare chairman for the Woman's Club, announ\!es that the club is join­ing with othe'r organizations in Prince Georges county to assist with the Telethon planned by the United Cerebral Palsy Association for June 20 and 21.

Celebrities from the entertain­ment world will offer their taleuts which will be televised from the Lisner Auditorium in W a.shington from 10:30 p.m. Saturday to 1 p.m. Sunday. Pledges will be handled b:• the Hecht Co. switchboard.

Among the first to volunteer their services were Mrs. Daniel Branch, Mrs. Charle's &laugh, Mrs. Lloyd Nelson and Mrs. Richard White. Mrs. Long says that funds raised during the telethon will be used for the care and training of cerebral palsied children and adults in the metropolitan area.

Girl Scout:s Losing LeaseOnCampSile

The county Girl Scouts organi­zation has been permitted to re'­new its lease on the camp site, lo­cated in the woods near Good Luck and Edmonston roads, for only one additional year. De'part­ment of the Interior officials have reportedly stated that the area will be needed for a tourists' ~amping and trailer site in con­nection with the new Washing­ton-Baltimore Parkway.

The Girl Scout officials have been offere·d two other sites, one near Laurel anc'l. the other else­where in the county.

GVHC Sets Up Fund r=or Repainting

GVHC has $25.00(. available for painting. it was disclosed a: the GVHC board meeting last Th u rs­day. In reporting a re'comm(·nda­tion by the fiscal manag(·ment ccmmittee. treasurer Bernard Bor­denct indicated that tl:.ere was easily that much money set asidC'. The recommendation, which the board unanimously approved. was that this money be expended for reputtying. caulking and trim painting, the work to be distrib­uted equitably among brick nnd frame houses. ~lanager Paul Campbell was instructed to draw up criteria for priority of paint­ing, to be base:i upon such fac­tors as date of last painting, pres­ent condition, geographiool loca­tion, etc.

1\feanwhile. Bruce Bowman. speaking for the framehouse sub­committee, recommended a plan which would enable frame house dwellers to trim their own homes with paint and other mat·erials furnished by GV'"-IC. Both plans are to procero concurrently. Al­though the corporation will be limited to trimming only 300 to 400 homes this year, there' is nd' limi­tation on the number of members whc. wish to trim their own homes. Fer details on borrowing equip­ment, members should call th(" GVHC maintenance office.

The corporation paint plan said Bowman, is geared to cover all the homes in about five years. The' voluntary plan, on the othf'r hand, will enable any mem~r who so wishes to trim his heme at hi:; con­,·cniPnCP. \vithout ...,, .. alting fo!"' t.~l

The Orgy Is Over For several weeks, this newspaper has printed lettE"rs to the

editor pertaining to squabbles among the members of the GVHC Board of Directors. ¥:re have printed every letter received. and. we have shortened none of them. Week by week, these letters haYe become more vicious, more venomous, more personal.

Freedom of the press is one thing, but common sense and common courtesy are others. We have attempted to let both side,_ have their complete "day i11 court" in the columns of this paper. all the while crossing our fingers and hoping that the disputants would remain within decent bounds.

We now feel that we are accomplishing nothing in dlowing the GVHC board to turn The Cooperator into its own privatE: battle­ground. Instead, the incensed letter·,WJ~iters are doing themselves and their organization a grave injustice, if they can but realize it, by washing their dhi:y linen in public.

Therefore, beginning with next week's issue. the Cooperator will not print any more letters to the editor that cast reflections on an indi-.•idual's character or in any way question h!.s integrity.

We approve the public discussion of differences of opinion when based on principle, but not on personal animosity.

PCF Praised A report by George De.vidsen

prai.sing the usefulness oJ~ the Po­tomac Cooperative FedeJration as an e'ducational and coordinating medium was unanimously ac­cepted and commended. Walter Vokkhausen, executive secretary of the Fed~ration, was present. "GCS has not hesitated to take ad­vantage of the contact.!• of the Federation with the Farrn Bureau insurance companies" and other important groups, Davidsen said. "It should not be necesse.:ry to jus­tify PCF's service to ea<:h society on a dollar basis. However, no one· who has studied the record can believe that GCS has not re­ceived far more than it has con­tributed to PCF."

E~oard me:mber Keith Gamble, wh[) had questioneld the value of the Federation's service~l to GCS, said that it was important :1'or GCS to make full use of ·the services available and paid for. · Sam SchwimC'r and Harry Zubkoff suggested that specific projects be devised for PCF to execute. Fol­lowing Gamble's statement, it was ag::eed that as chairm~.n of the education committee' he should work closely with PCJi' on the broader, as opposed to t:Qe local, aspects of promotional work.

Employees' PiCJhic Thi:! board also adopted an

agenda for the quarterly ·member­sh.lp meeting to be hel'd July 1, and made prelirn.inary plans for th·~ employees' picnic, 1m annual summer eve'nt at which the di­rcdors are traditionally the hosts.

The board named two of its own members (Lewis and Rosenzweig) and also Mrs. Norman Granims, M:"s. Haward Hunt, Mr:!l. Gail 11<!. Harper, and David Re;mi:koff as delegates to the Co-op Institute. The management will name four ot:1crs from among the employees.

To The Editor Long Retorts

Before enswerin@: the eight ques­tions asked by five of the nine Board members of GVHC, I would like to .state briefly the policy I try to follow as a director:- name­ly, GVHC must be operated as equitably, efficiently, eoonomics.lly, and safely u possible, so that aU, the members will etnjoy the use of their homes without heavy month­ly costs or fear of losing their equity.

Here, then, arl! my BpecUic an­swers to the eight question&:

Answer to Question No. 1: I e.m not a fanatic "cooperator" who be­lieves th!!.t all the world's political and economic ills can be solved by the destruction of private enter­prise and its repla.ceme!nt by bu­reaucratic cooperatives; but when it became evident that as e. result of ~E!'rtain connivings, PHA would sen only to GVHC, I fo11ght to try to lmake it the best {Ossible deal fo~j the members. Sir;cere nego­tial]ions with PHA could have re­sul~ed in a lower price and better terms, - I a.m told that an official of .,HA has made the remark that we could have bought the town for onE!' million dollars less, if we had really bargained. The fact that the apaii..ments sold for 25% lCBS serves to bear this out. They were offered to us for $1,279,675. I op­posed their purchase, and .they were finally sold for approximate­ly $915,000.00.

Answer to Question No.2: I have never stopped fighting for con­structive plans to strengthen GVHC and reduce costs to the members, including such propos­als as: a. Bargaining for a better price; t. Striving for 90% sales befor.;- signing the final oontra.ct; c. A better cost-control system on maintenance costs, leading to a fee-for-service basis of mainte­nance; d. More maintenance by members, to reduce monthly pay­ments; c. A strict review of all fees for legal serviees, advertise­ments, a.;d similar , matters, and many other matters too nume'rouR tQ mention in this letter.

Answer to Question No. 3: I was euchred off the Board last year. At the suggE!'Stion of friends, I ran this time, long before I knew that Board members wou!d receive any pay. Nobody in his right mond would run for election to thE!' Board on the assumption that it is a soft job. I will forfeit my pay when the other members do like­wise. IConfidentially, don't you think this a stinker type ques­t.ion ?)

Ans·.,·er to Question No. 4: I am not th(" treasurer, but I have found Mr. Bordonet alway:; sincerely in­tP.rested in thE!' financial welfare of the corporation .:~.nd its mem­bers.

Answer to Question No. 5: See Xo. 4.

Answer to Question No. 6: I knew nothing abou~ this flier, -didn't even see it before the meet­ing, and haven't seen a copy as yet.

Answer to Quest.on No. 7: I have answer<>d this in past letters to the Cooperator, a.:J.d I answered

it at the last membership meeting.

I will keep on a:tswering it as long as I disapprove of the various pe-

I

1--

culiar plans to exploit the unde­veloped land. That's why some of the Board are so mad.

Answer to Question No. 8: An­other stinke'r type question. I am uot now, and never have bee>l af­filiated in any way with any real estate broker OJ' dE!'Veloper. But I believe that is more than some of the other Bonrd membeors can say.

A. C. LONG.

Evading Responsibility At least a partial answer to the

puzzling actions of the self-styled "minority" Directors of GVHC <Long and Bordenet), may be found in their attE!'mpt to evade responsibility.

Both :have stated during meet­ings of the Board, that they can­not be held responsi:ble for an act of the Corporation, if the tr.cord shows that they cast their respec­tive votes against such act.

With this 8ttitude, can these men properly discharge their re­sponsibilities to the membership? I think not. In fact, the member­ship might properly question the payment of thE!'ir sal.a:ries, since payment oontemplates assumption of responsibility.

This of course does not mean the.t they should be "for" every­thing proposed. Far from it. However, it does mean that they should change from the completely negative approach which they ap­pear to have assumed for self­protection.

RALPH!<'. WEBSTER.

Mutual Trust Mutual trust is the very back­

bone of the Greenbelt VE!'teran Housing matter, ge.nized members.

Corporation, or for that of any cooperative or­for the beneftt of its

In the many yea.rs preceding the purchase of Greenbelt by its resi­dents, those Greenbelters who were opposed to the pUI-.chase spread all sorts of rumors about officers and board members who were> reputedly making a "killing" or rapidly acqufi-ing a fortune. Thi..!! meant .to explain the time and effort put in by these people for doing what they thought was in the best intE!'rests of the com­munity. But none of these peo­ple have received, either prior to or since thE!' purchase, any com­pensation for the hard work they did.

Prior to the purchase we had many divergent opinions on the board of directors, but we had a unity of purpose. The purchase of Greenbelt hy the members of Greenbelt Veteran Housing Cor­poration was a demonstration of whar united teamwork could do. The same kind of tee.m work can easily result in better service and at tremendous savings.

I am sure that every board member wants to see GVHC ~ success, but distrust, expressed differently to be sure but nonethe­less based on individua~ actions prior to our purchase. has pei·­mcated our board of directors. Everyone knows that Greenbelt was sold by PHA to GVHC, and it's high time that board members als,1

realize it and .stop thetr i:H••rnal feuding and get down tc') th-• ro:>al pro>blems confronting thL; organi­zation in trying to make• G\'HC ::u efficient as it can in ord-·r to S<:rv.c Jr.d satisfy its m··mc,.·rs .l: the· lowest possible cos:

Although some of our June days have not been so pel'fect, Mrs. Thompson's Center Scl1ool 4th and 5th gradC'rs enjoy1!<1 splendid '.1reather for their picnic Monday on the spacious grounds of the Thompson home in Berwyn Heights.

Band, Majoret:~es To PerForm July 4

The' Greenbelt Band and Ma­jorettes will pa~ticipate in the Fourth of July exercLcs.

They w.Il parade in the morn­ing, arid will also give an hour's concert down by the Lake bE!'tween 6 and 7 p.m. The Majorettes have a new routine to present, and hope it meets w!th public approval. The' Band wm be dire-cted by Mike Ronca.

Several instrun1ents were issued to children during last Monday evening's rehearsal, and it is hop­ed that parents will encourage' their children to ap~!y for mem-

. bership in the Greenbelt Band. The initiation fee is one' dollar.

The Greenbelt Band will con­tinue rehee.rsals during the sum­mer months and membership is open tc everyone. No fees will be charged during the month of June, but rehearsal fees of thirty­five cents will be charged during r:he months vf July and August. The G;e€'nbelt Band will be one of the few organizations keeping active during the summer months.

There­fore I can see no point in mere!y rcplachg those formerly USPd. I do favor, and thing action should have- been taken sooner, on the trespassing problem.

Seven Pound Bass Taken From Lake

Fish arc being caught ir. the lake, but not as many they should be yE::t. Apparently it is due to a surplus of food from hea\·y rains in the pa;;t few weeks. Also it has kept the water somf·what murky for bass and bluE'g;J1 to strike \veiL The bluegill are ;,pawning at the !)resent tim~: and not too many of them will bE:" taken until the finish. Hov·ever. there should be some exc~llent fishing in the near future an·i full creels are sure to be taken.

From the opening of~ bass sea­son. June 1 to date, the~.~ h<>.•;.: been 36 legal hass caught and rv­ported. We have no knowledge of those taken and not rep•>rted. One of these bass take:1 last Thursday evening on a liv~ frog went 24 inches and weighed 7 lbs. There has been two of 16 i :J.Che'S

and a couple 14 inches. Thes~ will run about 2 lbs. or bette:-. Others caught run from about 10~~ to 12 inches. Not many large blue'gills have heen caught yet, due to spawning activity, except about ten, around 8 inches each.

Joe Hig·ham of Maryle.n~ Uni­versity, appointed by the State fish commission, will be stationed at the lake f!Very day of the week except Friday from early rnorn­ing to late at night to record fisil caught and their markings, if any. Anyone catching any fish s:tould report the'm to him before le:a.ving the lake. He will be stationl!d on the grandstand side near the first covered table by the willow trees. He has all the fish recording ma­terial, scale, rule, etc.

It is expected that in the near future a fish recording box will be placed in a convenient location for the re'Cording of fish taken. This is very necessary infor1natio r1 for the State to have in order to keep th fishing good in the' lake. All fishermen are urged to coot:erate by reporting all fish taken.

Fishin~~ School Wednesday evening at 7:30 p.m.

is registration date foor the fish­ing school sponsored by the ::zaak Walton League. Those interested in attending the'foe classes should be at the lake at '1:30 p.m. Instruc­Uons will be giv~n in all types of fishing equipment. It is plann<>d to have Edw. l\1:. Berry, chi·~f of the inland stat<' game and fish con1m'ission, present to net a few fish and e"l1lain what the lake contains and how to identify them. In order to atte:1d the classes and receive instructions, you must reg­iste-r.

Behre, WCFM l~ead, Asks GCS Support

C. Edward Behre, pre:Jident. of the Cooperative BroadCa..!;ting A.s­sociation, appeared Friday eve­ning ~t the directors' m-eeting of Greenbelt Consumer Services, Inc. to explain the hisrory and pros­pects of ste.tion WCFM <99.5 on the FM dial) and t,o Mk for finan­cial assistance both from GCS and from individuals.

The cooperative station, licensed in 1947, has been in operation for over four years. It b:~oadcasts

programs of a -libere.l tenor "to counteract the one-part~· press," Behre said, and .speciulizes in good music, .. though not too high­brow", with advertising "in good taste". Broadcasting hours are from 5 to 11 p.m. daily.

Common Stock of $li.,l500 Ownership of the statio11 is vest­

ed in severe.! cooperative societies (including GCS) which hold the common stock, amountin1r to only $1,500. In addition, there are sev­eral thousand preferred stock­holders, who also elect some of the directors. Many of t,;:~.e listen­ers are holders of prefer::-ed stock or contributors to the su.st.aining fund. The sale of advel'tising to cooperatives and oth.ers, and of recordings to other stations and to the public, have alrnost met expenses with the heip of finan­cial contributions. Behre himself has been a heavy financial con­tributor to \VCFM. eral thousand preferred stock amounting to only $1,500. In ad­dition, there are several thousand preferred stockholde:'rS, who also elect some of the directoJ'S. Many of thE" listeners are holde:~s of pre­f€:'1-red stock or contril: utors to the sustaining fund. The sale of advertising to cooperat:ves and others, e.nd of recordings to other stations and to the public, have almost met "'xpense'S with the help of finane:ial contribution:;. Behre himself has been a heavy financial contributor to WCF:M.

Sunday Con<!erb; WCI-~M broadcasts the concerts

from the National Galle1y of Art on Sunday evenings, nnd this sum­mer will present a "sumrr. er school of the air" sponsored b:;r several universities.

Behre askE'd GCS to in ~rease its investment in the common stock of the broadcasting association, enlarge its advertising program, and permit the use of ib mailing list for individual appeals. The GCS board placed the n1atter on the agenda for its next meeting.

Girl Scout: Leaders Hold Final Me·eting

Girl Scout leaders of Greenbelt held their final meeting ol' the year JunE' 9, under the chai rraanship of Adelaide Weidberg.

The \Vind-up activity for the year was a square dance exclu­sivr>ly for nothers and daughters on June 4, in the' Cent ~r School <;Uditorium. Because all ·:he troops participe.ted in this social affair, fly-up ceremonies and courts of awards were planned at the dis­cretion of leadt:"'''s for their indi­vidual troops.

B~·-Law Changed One of t.'le major char.ges made

in the revision of the District by­laws is that of election of officers. Henc=forth, January will be elec­tion month. the District Chair­man's election taking place at thP. annual meeting of th:! County Council, and the remaini:lg officers will be elected at the January Dis­trict meeting.
