A number of GHI residents are retirees or have no full-tim!' em ployed person as head of their housl'hold. TwPnty-st'VPn percent of 726 rl'spondents ran into this catPgory.

Among other positive features of the one-member, orw?-vote concept would he the reduction of the check-in time for Twin Pirw?S membership meetings. It would only be necessary for a member to have his or her ruune checked o(J a list, instead of having each account verified.

The Board of Directors of Twin Pines has set the date of Dec. 14 for a special meeting of Twin Pines members. The purpose (or the meeting is to consider and vote upon several amendments to the Bylaws of Twin Pines.

For several y@ft~ Board Mf'mbrrs and M.-mber Relations Commlttl'f' members have been testifying at Stat.- Legislative Oommittel' hear­Ings In support of bills submitted by the Prince Georlft· Oounty del­egation. This year the project we.s succeSBful and thf' One Memb<·r· One Vote mt'asure passed In both Housf'8 and was signed Into law. Th.- one remaining step nect'ssary beforf' we can implement this Roch­dale Priftelpie Ia that we must a­mend our BJlaWs so that tht>y can specify the One Member-One Vote option.

The Spl'clal Mf't>tlng was called for this purposf'. The Bylaw draft committe!' that wa.s mandated at the last Mt>mbershlp Meeting has drafted revised Bylaws to lnclud.­One Memb.-r-One Vote, and also to add to the accessibility of the franchise in th.- form of a mailt>d ballot, ""tending some of the sche­duled df'&dlines for petition and mt'f'ting notices (see accompanying story!, and spelling out the respon­sibllitil's of the Nominations and Elections Committee. Another point i" the addition of a clause to permit day-of deposit Certificates of Dl'­posit.

Prf'\'inusly it was felt by some that the present Bylaws did not permit the Nominations and Elec­tions Commlttef' to exercise any selectivity regarding nominees for office. Thl' curernt proposals clear­ly dellne that the committee may <>xercise such selt'Ctivity. An addi­tional requirement Is that any per­son •uggl'llted to the Committee as a potential nominee must be in­formed ot the declalon of the Com­mittee regarding his or hPr candi­dacy approximately one week prior to the deadline for subml•lon of petitions lsee seetion on deadline changPsl. Thus, a person not nom'­lnated by committee would still have alx days in which to circulate a petition and get the 25 signatures required for petition candidacy.

Another change In thP propo•ed amendmenta to th.. Bylaws con­cerns tbe 111ze ot the Nominations and Elections Committi'C, The two alt.-rnate- POI!ltlons, if this proposn!

Why is the Board of Dlrt>Ctors of Twin Plnrs Savings and Loan As­sociation considering th.- form of a proposed bylaw amendm<'nt to restrict the voting control at mem­bl'rshlp ml'f!tings to a one man-one votr bBBis? Th<' r!'asonlng ruts deeply into the cooperativl' nature of your association and Into on.­of the bulc tenets of th<' coopera­Uva movl'ml'nt. The modern coop-erative movement traces Its roots back to tht> Rochdale Co-op Society formed In England in 1844. One of the cooperative principles put forth by the Rochdale Ploni'Crs was th<> concept of democratic control In th,. form of only on!' vote for each mrmber of thr Society.

In the 19608, th<> Int<>rnatlonal Cooperative Alllanc.- undertook a rr-examlnatlon of cooprrativf' prin­ciples and prac,tlc.-s. Thl' ICA re­stntem.-nt of these tenets included thr on.- vot<> p<>r member concept for primary cooperatives.

Sa\•lngs and loan associations In thr Unit<>d States w.-rr formed on thr basis of a cooperative mutual concrpt. which ovl'r the years has df'vcloprd Into a mutual concept no longer true to the pure coopera­tive concept. An rxamplc of this dcwiopment is the handling of voting rights. IJntll this year Maryland State law granted voting rights to mrmbers of state charter­ed savlng.s and loan associations on thr basis of each loan and share account. Under this provision a member with multiple accounts could cut a riumber of votes at any mrmbl'rship meeting, diluting the democratic control. During the 1977 session of the Maryland Gen­Pral Assembly, Senator Conroy, Delegat.-s Gr.-en, Dl'vlin, and Ross sponsored legislation which became law to permit any Maryland state chartered savl.ngs and loan assocl­atloQ to adopt a bylaw provision to rPstrlct voting control to members on a one vot.- per prrson basis. By adopting such a provision ns this an association returns .to a pure cooperative democratic control practice recognized by cooperatives

Thus, according to the existing By-laws, a period of three days occurs between the final News Review deadline and the petition and report deadline. This caused a problem in 1975, when a supplemental notice was put into a metropolitan news­paper containing some petition information that was not included in 'the original notice. Although it is questionable as to how many people read it, it met the legal requirement. .

Also, these By-laws leave no time for a person who IS not nominated bv the Nominations and Elections Committee to file petition afte~ learning of that fact.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS:

Last Day for Nominations and Elections Com­mittee to initiate Nominations and Election process. Requirements for this process have been spelled out in more detail.

Nominations and Elections Committee must inform all persons who were suggested to them whether or not they have been nomin­ated.

Complete report of Nominations and Elections Committee must be turned in to the Secretary_ of the Association.

All petitions must be turned in to the Secre­tary of Twin Pines.

News Review deadline to meet !ega! publica­tion requirement.

Legal requirment that meeting notice be pub­lished on or before this day.

Date at which accounts are verified for voting purposes.

All proxy forms must be turned in to Twin Pines office.

The preceedng dates close the gap between the petition deadlines and the News Review deadline. In addition, a person who anticipates nomination by the Nominations and Elections Committee, and does not get it, has six days to circulate and hand in a petition for candidacy. The Bylaw proposals require that such persons be informed of their right to petition for candidacy.

The ~erification date was changed, because, with the imple­mentation of "One member-One vote," less time will be needed to verify account status.

The proxy deadline was the deadline which previously had been used according to election rules, but had previously not been written in to the Bylaws.

News Review Marks 40th Anniversary Renzenzbering Al Skolni~·-­His Contributions To Greenbelt

b)· Sandra Barnes

Rare!~- does a person come along who, w1thout bemg an elect­ed official or an employee of a governmental body, wfluences nearly every Important activity in a community. Alfred M. Skol­nik, pre,idf'nt of the Greenbelt Nf'ws Review for 18 vear!', was such a person. AI died sudden!_;· of a heart ;Jttack in March of thi,; year.

"If ever anyone tit the title 'pillar of the commumtv', it wa, AI," former New~ Review ed1tor and clo,;e personal frie~d. Harrv ZubkoiT n·lated. ''In both hiS rwrsonal llfe and h1s public life. h;,­conduct, bcha\'ior and moral prtnciple,; were 1mpeccabll'. Hi> whole lifl' was a contribution," ZubkofT atlirrnC'd.

Most peopl<• will. become assocwted wit!\ one• ISSUL' or another. And, llltli'l' oftpn than nol, thl•Jr own personality 1\'lll dominate that i~aue. Not so with AI. For more than two dc·cadt•s. ht• was 01 mRjnr figurf' •n Gn·enbelt Homes, Jr;tc. board and city councll meetmgs; but Ill'. himself, stayed 111 tPle background, askmg ques­tions, probin.~. writing position papers and Issue-orientl'd storie,;.

My Side .• ~ Of the Budget Story

by Helen GeBer · My de&r friend Elaine Skolnik

did a number on me. "I have so much trouble under­

standing budceta'' she aald. "ud I can't find anyone else to do it. How about helping- me· write the story of the reere'atlon budget bear~ ing~"

Can you llllllglne anyone falJing for a line like that!

On the appointe-d evening WP

showed up at Council chambers where I promptly endeared myaelf to Councilman Richard Castaldi by stopping him In mid-air u he ltar­t<>d to light up a cigarette. !rm a!lt'rgic to smoke, I sweetly explain­cd.l

We on the News R~>view staff cannot celPbrate thl· 401h anni­ver,;ary of this lll'll'spaper without paymg tribute to till' person whll held this paper together for much of that timl', who structured its editorial polieies, who put it on a sound financial footing aCter many years of teetPring on the brink of disastl't'. In many ways, thili paper has been able to continue following his death without any perceptible change bc•causc• the patt<'rns Ill' established are so eecurely rootPd. ·Together with his w1f<·. Elaine, lw lovingly brought forlh P;wh issuP of tht' Nt'\\'S Rt•view with a consummatP dedicetion to the smallest dc•tail.

Analytinl St)·le

Thts is how thl' first page of the first issue ,of the Gr~nbelt Cooperator looked. The flrst issue appeared on November 24, 1937 and consisted of 16 letter-sized mimeographed pages of local news and L•ditorial content.

Things went downhill from then on. As everyone batte-d ftgurea baek and forth. I idly wondered when Rank Irving would find balt a rec­reation asslatant. (It turned out half-time at Pach cent.-r.l li'IIM­ing an overwhelming dMlre to nsrl up undrr the tabl~>. • I perked up a bit during a 11\'f•ly dl•cuSIIon on the mf'rlts of lockt•rs vs. baskt't& I I foggily wond .. red If I would makr It to th~> end,- and wa• save-d by of all tlllngs- mv no"'' \\'hlch was fran­tically s)jrnalling that it was allergit to something in the room and It I didn't get out in a hurry I >~·ould

ha\'P a two day headacht•. As a reporter, I had co\'t'rf'd r.lySt•lf with glory.

Ali a reporter. AI exl11hited Ius own personal characll'ristll':<: an analytical st_I'IP which strippl'd away at the extraneous to get to the basic Issues ZubkolT belil'\'f's "He brought to his reports a mea10ure of objL•rti1·ity. prPcision and roherenc<' which added a dimen~ion to the publie undL•rslanding of public issues ." Citi­zeno could rely on Al's reports as being a fair reflection of what &ccun·ed. His friends sometimes criticized him for "bending over bacltwards" to present opposing viewpoints.

But AI was not only a reporter. When he covered a cit.v council meeting, he often injected his own comments on affairs of the city. His was a strong voice in urging acquisition of park­land and major capital improvPments, eommunity planning and controlled growth. And council members listened to his views -not just because they found their way into the editorials of the News Review -- but becausl' of, as city manager James Giese C'X­

prC!i.Sed it. "his good judgment." One frequently saw AI stand up at a council meeting, his high­

pitched voice bursting with impatience when members strayed from the basic issu<'s as he saw them, "You shouldn't worry about that," he would lecture; ''let the city manager take carl' of it.·• In this way, also, he expressed his strong support for the council­managPr form of government.

Al's influence on the city was more low-keyed than his in­fluence on GHI policy matters. As a long-time member of GHI. pemaps he fl'lt more of a need to participate. One never found AI attending pre-election GHI strategy meeting~ or actively cam­paigning to gel out the vote, but he was always invol\'ed. Al's intetUts ran more to issues than to candidacies. Beginning in the late 1950's, in one way or another. he participated in all im­portant GHI policy decisions.

The tersely-worded editorials printed in the News Re1·iew for 20 years exemplified both Al's writing style and his character. In one or two short paragraphs, he id('ntified thl' issues ;md presented the paper's viewpoint.

Sacrifire

One cannot begin to relate what the four-year (1966-1970) two million dollar libel suit against the News Review and the Skol­niks meant to their personal life. (The 35th anniversary issue of the News Review dealt primarily with the "Anatomy of a Libel Suit"). The entire community rallied around the Skolniks, and in many ways the suit had a unifying effect on the city. But, in "reaftlrn:iing the freedom of the press," Al's long-time friend. Charlie Schwan recalled, "the Skolnik family had to sacrifice for the rest of us . . . The libel suit dragged on for so long, that I almost forgot that AI smiled," Schwan reflected.

Besides the city council and GHI affairs, Al was devoted to the bi-monthly duplicate bridge games, now at the Youth Center. For many years, he directed these Friday night games. But, often, he himself did not play; he held himself in reservP to play only if someone else showed up without a partner.

(\_ NewsRevl~

Without question, the News Review was Al's passion. "He was the single thread of continuity which kept the paper not merely alive. but thriving for two decades," Zubkoff stated. He

NE\rS REVIEW COMPLETES 40 YRS. OF CONTINUOUS PUBLICATION

If you look at the masthead of today's Greenbelt News Re­view. you will ub~erve the notation ''Volume 41, Number I" Simply speaking, this means that with this issue the News Review has completed 40 years of continuous publication. The first issue, then titled the Greenbelt Cooperator, appeared 40 years ago to the day on November 24, 1937 and consisted of 16 letter-size mimeo­graphed pages. The first families had organized themselves to Issue the paper within six weeks of unpacking their household belongings.

At first th<' paper wus prepart•d at thf' hom<'s of various staff mf'm bers. [n January 1938 the Ft•dt•rai Government (which owned Gret•n­beit at that time) made space a­vailable at thr <'t•ntpr, free or cost, Rnd also loan<'d much-needed fur­niture, type~ritrrs, and office f>fjuip ment. From its original second­floor quarters In the commercial center, the paper moved its offic­es four times befort' finally coming to r~~t in the present bast"mt•nt office at 15 Parkway.

With the withdrawal of thr FPd­eral Government from town, Green­belt Homes, Inc. through its whol ly-ownt•d ~ubsidiary, Gret•nbelt De­velopment ())rporation. continued tht' Federal policy of providing fret' office sparr, wllh the paper rPim­burslng th~ corporation for out-of pockPt p:o<pcnses.

Al SKOLNIK from page one

de\·oted nearly every evening ~nd many week-ends to the myriad tasks necessary to the publication of the ne.wspaper. AI covered a city council or GHI meeting almost every week. Neither severe weather conditions nor illness would prevent his coming to tht Sews Review office on Tuesday night. When he occasionally went out of town. he would return by 6 p.m. on Tuesday. Wedne£day is make-up night. and AI was always there to give his final okay. Thursday morning, rf no onP el~e c-ould go to the print shop to proofread the paper for the last tmw. he would go.

When the News Review couldn't find anyone to handle the business desk. he became the business manager. Most of the ad­ministrative work was done bv him. He kept an ·'inch book" which detailed the amount of advertising in each issue of the News Review. He maintained a crude index on every major subject the Sews Review reported 011. However. he did not always have to refer to back 1ssues as his mind was a storehouse of information from which he could easily retrieve even remote facts.

He was a fiscal conse1vative who would not print more than a four-page paper unless there was enough advertising to support it. In spite of the baleful exp~ession of the editor, whose desk was laden with copy, he stubbdrnly maintained his position.

· When he arrived home ~ach evening, fie ·greeted his wife and children with the perennial question. "What happened 111 Green­belt today?" and he'd eagerly <\i~:est each detail.

Outstan~ing Citizen AI and Elaine Skolnik wen; selected "Outstanding Citizens"

in 1874 by the Greenbelt Labor Day Festival Committee. And AI. though he surely would not hav'' sought the title. ''enjoyed the

recognition," said Charlie Schwan. · Zubkoft' quotes Thomas Jeffl!rvon who wrote, ''This is man's

hijghest calling. for the existence ol\ democracy depends on an in­fijtmed citizenry,'' and AI devoted a. good part of h1s life to that c:tiJ,&e. Though he is gone, the Ne\W Review and the city have bMn forever shaped ,and colored by his presence ..

Greenbelters Enjoy Snowy Weather b}· l'llary Lou Wlllitumwn

Out came all the skat"" from l'lu sets and attlcH; out ~amt• tht• sleds from b85ements and guragPs. The l'oldest and snowlest January in u decade haH hit Greenbelt. Tht• green flag was hoisted announl'ing skat ing at tht• lake on News Yt•ar'• I'Ve;

it stayed up ten days! County so hoolo.. closed a day . and a half, some govf"rnmPnt workl'rs found lhPir agt•ncies closed one day and polit'l' spt'nt much of their tim<' trying to track down juvPnllt•s ""'n throwing snowballs at movlng rttrs. January is not half over.

The cold and snow huvt' thus fRr facilitated a lot of fun, som<' inconvenience, but, ~urprlsingly, no real trouble. The pollee report no unu•ual rise in the traffic aecldent rat.. and Greenbelt Homes Inc. maintenance reports no unusual rold weather related problems.

Skat InK Pmbably the greatest show of <'II·

thusiasm fur the cold has been demonstratcoi by the skaters who tloclu·d to the lakt• on New Year'u wl•t'kt•nd. "It looked lik<• the Fourth of July" suid RPcr<'ntion director Hank Irving. Ht• estimated that 2.000 p!'oplc of nil agps dld just about Pverything they could thinl< of on the icc skating, sledding, some played frisbee, others let•

hockey. One man, wearlng skis and a body-kite, whizzed across the lake, blown by the blustery

wind. Th!' l't•d "No Skating"' sig11s wt•nt

soml' of the best sledding ever ex perlenced here. The sllghtt>st hill provides a ride and the steep hills lt•ading down to the underpasses are for the skllled only. The long hill from the playground at North­way and Ridge to the underpass is one of the longest non stop rides. Children ln the neighborhood are out sledding before breakfast, the older ones arc still sledding aft..r dark.

I think the citizens of Greenbelt should commend the fire depart­ments of Greenbelt, Berwyn Heights, and Branchville. Whether it is a real alann or a false alann. these men <most of whom arP volunteers) respond as if their own homes W!'r<' affected . . .

by Sandra Barnes Some ten years ago a woman wanderec down a short flight

of stairs to the basement headquarters of the Greenbelt News Review. Timidly she approached the editor. She didn't like to write and she couldn't type - but she could spell. Did the Nnn Review have any need of such a person?

As often happens, the editor and his assistant.> were b• handling one cnsis involving city council and another involvil!l GHI and another involving controversial letters-to-the-editor. It was a typical Tuesday night and no one talked much to the new person or showed her an}ihing to do so she wandered out again.

It was six months before she returned. A call had gope out urging anyone with an interest in community service to come t• the News Review and the woman was spurred to come back. 'Dte people were again frenzied and desperate for help - anoth« typical Tuesday night. This time, however, the editor taught her how to count letters for headlines and Mary Granofsky (formerly Smith) carved her niche in the News Review. For the next nille years she taught everyone who came down to work on the pap« how to count letters for headlines.

· A little over a year later Mary became assistant editor. "Ev­eryone else was having babies," ~e said. By this time also lllle was doing the me.ke-up on Wednesday nights and often weat down to the print shop on Thursday mornings to read the page

proofs. . In l967 Mary became editor. It was a position she did not

welcome but one she held for 5 ~ years, until the fall of lilT! when she again assumed the smaller responsibilities of the assistat editor. Mary had not enjoyed the hassles of editorship, the resJIC*­sibility of handling people whose letters-to-the-editor contained outrageoti; but cherished beliefs or libelous material. But she wu a master ·organizer and a crackerjack at dealing with what she describes as the "housekeeping chores", seeing that the printer had all the necessary instructions for the next issue and that all the heads were in order. Few spelling errors or mistakes in sentence structure got by Mary's eagle l'ye and red pencil.

Just in passing I would llke to -ment on some of the improve· aents ~:-ning on. Tht• new elly lll&p on Southway with its stont• wan pres .. nts a pleasing entranct• te Grt'<'nb..tt. The sandblasting of die paint off the bricks on the Oenter shops and surrounding llomes looks nit'<'. Tht> natural bricks add a ttt\Jeh of Wllrtnth to an al rt~~~dy warm eommunity. 1t will also saVf' on Yt•arly upkel'p for palnt.

Generallu. the rit11 and the ritu council of Greenbelt are there­cipients of compliment.~ hu the citizen.~. Rut, some issue.~ spark com­plaints.

A visit to thP Lakt• Park last SundRy . . . reveal!'d again thtL! our lake is a very popular site fOI' th!' rommunity. Clty c·otmril ... has c·rPat<'d u further burden to cit IZPilS Sf'Pking USf' of thf' Juke for lr·isurely rt•<"rf'tLtion by giving n few Grf'Pnbt'lt••rs 1 I guess I~ to 201 f'X· elusive US<' of an area of the Lake­Park south of the llfunit-ipal Build ing for gard••n slt!'s, WhilP gard· Piling ls un ••xeelient rPrrPationul adivity which is r!'warded by wholesonw food, I seriously question the prud!'nl't' In council's action. Th" tUt'a in question has bC'en pro posed by PRrk and Recreational Ad· visory Board ( PRABI as a desig· nated ball playing area in the Lake Pari< Ma.•t!'r Plrm which is now b!'fOr<' council. Pr!'sently there is no designated b111l playing nrea ln

by some unknown, unconslrained park visitors who preceded us ...

And Mary points with pride to some minor but momentCNs events which occurred during her stewardship. "The last tDe the News Review office was cleaned was when I became editor," she boasted. "Also it wa~ the second to last time that the ice box was cleaned and the furniture was moved around." Nothing

has been changed since. Another memorable moment in Mary's editorship was ''The

Night of the Open House (in 1971) when the lights went out." However, Mary describes one of the biggest events in her life

as the News Review lawsuit. The News Review fought a 4-year and $2,000,000 lawsuit tiled against it by real estate defeloper Charles Bresler. The cas!' went from the lowt•r courts. which held for Bresler, to the Court of Appeals, which sustained the circuit court decision. But the paper was finally vindicated in the U. S. Supreme Court. The litigation took many staff hours and Marr Granofskv ~o:a\'e much of her time during those four ~·ear~ to proof­reading tbP hrids filed in the courts. "I ronsider that 1\·e done two rcallr ~o:ood things in my life," Mary explained, "and they were raising good children and working on the News Review suit."

Tht• n••w "solar coll••ctors" on Seuthw11y also show that Grt•Pn· IM4tNs 11 rt• way ahPRd of others, •d know how to use resources lriaely.

My wife and I visit the laki park nmrly every day. Whenever we tour the park on foot, we ha­bitually pick up beer cans, candy wrappers, and other litter. These tokens of our "throw11way" rivili· zation catch our attention just as reflexlvt>ly as they were discarded

GREENBELT NEWS REVIEW 40 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY

1937 • 1977

Greenbelt Federal Credit Union

Celebrates its 40th anniversary in December 1977

Marv's love and dedication to the News Re\·iew were clearly evident 'over the decade of service. Of recent years, however. ~he had become discouraged by the criticism aimed at the paper, "We always bent over backwards to be fair," she proclaimd. "but we were always being accused of being a monopoly or of not pnntllll,! letters or of not printing what everyone said at a meeting."

With her move to New Carrollton in recent weeks, Mary has resigned from the News Review. She knows she will miss the paper just as she already misses Greenbelt. In her new surround­ings shP cannot find a vinegar cruet at Ben Franklin. a. crossword puzzle at the tobacco shop, go to the post office, the food store, and the bank all in one stop - always while meeting people she

knows. ''Greenbelt was the best place to raise children ... and the

News Review is the best thing for the town." Mary observed. "I got to know how the town worked . I li\'!'d in Greenbelt for 16 ~·ears . it was tough to leave."

It is tough for the News Review to say goodby to Mary. We will miss her good work and her London accent. We will miss her.

A Weekend Filled With J/ariety .. Again the ~ea-sons roll 'round - the autumn opening and

the summer ending as they do l•ach year in Greenbelt with the conununity festival. It would be hard t~ imagine one more pl'I'­fert. The pleasant notes struck earlier m the summer chimed agam - the good fellowship rJf our Bicentennial remembrances of the nauon's past. the non-rancorous conventions. (We were thmkmg of wme of the parade ttoats, with their patriotic tht>mes, and the ubiquitous and genial politician:; who camt> to eall.) The JOY> of th~ Ol:vmpks were su~jlested also in the paradt• visit of Sug3r Ray Lt'Onard.

The divisive issue of an t>arlier umc - busing and desegre­gation - had disappeared. and the idea suggested in the selec­tion of the lovely and first black Miss Greenbt>lt that we can live together. The women's issues seemed to have moved into the furefront .(.Pianm>d Parenthood near Right-to-Life, NOW near the Lcu~ut• of Wonwn Voters in the festtval booths). But if they led to at'l'imun~· and disharmony, we missed it.

OUR VIEW

Greenbelt CARES A Common Good

One of the most 1mportant functions that ran be carri~ on tn a community is thP helping and roun.•eling of fellow hUJnan beings. Greenbelt CARES is doing this, and we are very forttlllate to have such a group in our city undertaking this difficult job. .

These individuals have worked hard to initiate a program m whrch both parents and their youngsters participate in the coun· selling process. This type of program has received high r~o~­mendations from staff members of the Department of Juventle Services and other agencies who work with the problems of y~ung people.

Tradtttonallv, Greenbelt has been a town l!l which people have enjoyed w~rking together for the common good. Greenbelt CARES is another organization which encompasses the work of \'olunteers in the l'Ommunity who serve on the board of CABiS. a highly qualified technical director, an intensely dedicated ad­m.inistrative director and a professional staff or counsellors ~~ulse l'ommon efforts huve already achieved successes. These lndivid­uab have an't'pted comparatively low salaries to work witn the nearh· 100 client-families most ot whom are from Greenbelt.

The stresses or our' competitive societ~· - which make it difficult for you•g adults and older people to find useful Toles for themselves - can be seen all around us. The whole commun­ity will benefit from the efforts of Gt't't>nbell CARES. This is an activity which the city council should support.

ll<'>Ua~· s specral membershrp meeting of Greenbelt Homes. Inc. ~ ht•se facts wtll still remain the same: '

Fact I . GHI needs money now to rontinue its fuel-savings progr11•. B1ds have <Already been received on $173,000 worth or 1enovat1on work designed to up-grade the heating plants of the frame and bnck homes. Engineering studies are on the way to pnce out the cost of insulating the crawl spaces ot the frame homes 01•d installing vapor barriers.

Fact 2. The GHI reserves are not sufficient to finance the ea­tire ce&t of thtse htating improvements. Government National Mortgage Association, the holder of the GHI mortl{age, has ac­knowledged that full use of reserves is already being made .

Fact 3. This leaves borrowing as the only viable soun-e ef e(uncls for GHI. Such borrowing can take the form of a con­,·cnlional loan from a commerrral institution at 9~ c·; interest rate or temporary deferment of GNMA mortgage prmcipal pay­ments at an interest cost of 4 percent.

Fact 4. In order to qualify for the advantaceous (INMA in­tere!lt rate, GNMA bas spet'ified that GHI must raise its monthl~· t·baraes te cner the mouotin~t t-osts rreated hy the enerr:v crisis. •r course. there is one other course of action. Forget about the fuel-conservation program and hope for the best, such as lower fuel oil pdces and no further dPterioration m tht> ht>"tine plants. But persons advocating this course of action should at least IJe pre)tared for the mot·e likely development that the heating costs uf thf' corporlltlon will continue to skyrocket at an astounding !Jill'l.' t• the absence of a long-term fuel-conset·vation program. And if ene was shocked by the huge increase in monthly charges last •ecembE>r. just imagine what the increases will be like in tuture .vears without the benefits ~ a long-range fuel-savings prograM.

Council Praised ~4tta.in DOGS AND POLLUTION MISS GREENBELT

For the second tn'Qe \\'&thin t wn month>. the nl\· counctl's Audacity, perserverance. and \'etTe ·have pazd otT. Through its ,er.;onal mtervention, cnunctl has been successful in persuading itate officials to reverse earlirr d<>ci,;ions adverse to Greenbelt.

The first occasion \\'!!,; an appe&l in April to the Governor's Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Jus­tice for full Federal funding of tlw Greenbelt CARES program. The citv's arguments wen' sufficient!)· rom·tnrmg to "C<'ure an­.ther 513.140 in grant money (l'Qlll\'alent to ~ · cents on the tax 111te).

La>t \\'<'t'k I notilil'd. the city council that the presence of dog !eel's in the vicinity of my home was becoming a public nuisance affecting the health of my toddler who rcc~ntly stumbled into a pill' and the rleanllncss of my shag rug onto which he tracked it. I requested that council recognize the problt•m and take action with it.

I wa.'. i ndccd sorry to see that the unfortunate .Miss Greenbelt contest has now been extended to include even youngl'r girls. How trivial in­deed are the imaginations of the sponsors, who will take that mar­velous being, a human, and assume that with all those glorious potenti­alities for creati\·ity, for generosity, for abstract thinking and insist that thl' most important qualities to be found in young woml'n are big bos­oms, sha!M'ly legs, tla!hing smiles, "pei'IIOn&lity", and ~~peeious talents.

Next, with a certitude just abort o! inspirational, :'\{iss X ... makes the assumption that if the contel!· tan ts' time were not occupied ift such "trivial" pursuits as beauty pageants, thcy would be elsewhere making conquests in science uri the arts. Well, maybe. But thP laws of probability suggest othl'r wise. In a given random group. only half the constituents are llkr· ly to be possessed of above-aYN­age intelligence. 0! that 1<'88 gl!ll­e.rously invested, is it not more reasonable to assume that their spare time, by virtue of their ill· terests and aptitudes, would mOI!t · likely find them at GrPt•nbelt Ce"­ter discussing thr 111erits of· Ja­maican boo rathf'l' than at thri r desks devising a formula for dr­pollutlng thr atmosphere? I think !0.

The second O<'Caswn W!lb !a,t wt•ek's tnp to Baltimore to per­•uade the State Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to lfllProve a sewer connection for the proposed Spnnghill Lake Rec­reation Center. Again the cit,· wa.< ,;uccessful when they pomted .ut how the need for the fartl!t~· nwrited an l'Xception to the ..ewer moratonum.

Council acknowll'dgcd the ser­iousnroo of the problam and noted that there were ordinances requir­ing owners to clean up after their pets. Council also observed that these ordinances are uncnforceabl~. The polic<' wiU not ordinarily take action unless a specific complaint is filed. Peopl<' are reluctant, how­!'Ver to file complaints against thPir neighbors !or relatively minor of­fensPs.

We hear too much about chauv­inist male pigs. as i! they were thl' great enemy. It is tht> woman who untltinkingly accepts hel'l!df as n lesser creature whose greatest role is to be a sex p&rtne'!' and mother-· both of which achievemrnts •he shares with other animals who is the grl'ater problem . . . .

On other occasions the councrl ha,; not hl•,;~tated to make it> pll)·sical presence !elt. Included, for <1xample. ha\'e been trips to .-\nnapolis. ·Baltimore, l'pper :\1arlboro, and Hyattsville on the *ifting of the METRO station. on municipal tax differential leg­itlation. and on the Greenbnar sewage treatment plant.

Looked at as a whole it is not a minor prob!<'m. Communities the size of GrN'nbelt typically haw morP than fnur thousand dogs ex­creting mort• than a half ton of feel's and nrnrly se\'en hundrt'<l gallons of urine each day on the strel'ts and public areas. Whill' be­ing csthrtirally undesirable, it is also a lwalth hazard to ml:<c human beings with dogs and their <'Xt'rP­ment. :\lor!' than forty dlst>ases in the (Jnited States can be transmit­ted !rom dogs to humans. The bet ter known arc ringworm, round­worms. hook\\'orms, tapeworms, !leas and rabies.

.. The prize for the "talent"

While not always successful, the eounctl is fast buildmg up • reputation as a political bod~· that carnes a lot of clout. When Greenbelt talks. peopll' listen. And a great part of this ~~ attrib­anable to the willingness of counrtl members along with the city 11ianager and his staff to tra\'el that extra milt', to makl' that extra personal contact, and to de!i\'er that extra statement.

·The two questions are interrelated.

Just as seriOus!~·. an~· attempts to convert the school into a career technology center at this time is bound tu cause dis­ruption, delay, confusioo and the need for additional funding.

Sights Too Low The city council on Monday, August 5, will hold a public

laearing to get citizen views on the city acquisition of parkland ia parcel 1. Parcel 1 consists of about 100 acres located north of Northway extended between the Greenbelt Homes, Inc. property ud the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.

About two years ago the city received 14 acres of surplus A(ricultural Research Center land just east of Parcel I. Under Mle terms of the donation by the Federal Government, the city a'lllit aul(lllent the surplus land with the acquisition of 15 additional aC!nll in parcel I and develop a park plan {or the two tracts.

The council now has before it plans to purchase about 28 acres of the I 00-acre tract. We do not feel that the council has Nt Ita sights bigb enough.

Parcel I is one of the last major pieces of undeveloped land Ja tile Greenbelt core. We know only too well from our exper­t~ with other tracts - Smith-Ewing being the latest - that ~ onJ¥ way for Greenbelt to make certain that it will control lie destiny o! vacant land within its boundaries is to acquire own­-- of major portions thereof.

We are we!I aware that a land acquisition program of this aature will be costly and require 11 bond issue. But the con­leqUIIlces of not acting are worse. It will do the cititens of Green­)Ntt litUe good five or ten years from now, when faced with traffic lad environmental problems caused by high density development ot •dlocked parcel 1, to know that their council of 1974 "saved'' .._. several hundred thousands of dollars by not pursuing an ag­..-ive land acquisition program.

What must be remembered is that the city will have only •e thance o! acquiring the land. Once the land is committed 101' development, it will be rear guard action from then on to pro­tect the "planned community" concept in Greenbelt.

Let the council be bold and foresighted and ask for voter ~ tor a bOnd issue to secure the necessary funds for land -~tbl.
