Friday, February 5, 1943 OUR NEIGHBORS Mrs. Harold Schare and her son Donald Joseph, 6, of Richmond Hill, Long Island, are visiting her sister, Mrs. Abe Glauberman, of 13-E Laurel Hill Road, this week. Mrs. Schare teaches in the New York City elementary schools, which are closed this week to con serve fuel. Mrs. Albin Carlson of Seattle, Washington is visiting with her daughter, Mrs. Glen Wilbur of 40-B Crescent Road. Bill Flynn’s mother is visiting with him at 3-D Parkway Road this week. Former resident Ed Meredith is joining the Air Cadets Corps. Ed and his wife, Sally, moved from Greenbelt last fall—much to the regret of their many local friends. Reverend John W. O’Neill of New Haven, Connecticut and Mrs. William F. O’Neill of East Hart ford, Connecticut are visiting with the O’Neills at 24-C Ridge Road. * * * Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Tager of 3-F Parkway are the proud par ents of a baby girl born a week or two ago in New York City. A son, John William, was born to Mr. and Mrs. James K. O’Neill, 24-C Ridge Road at 3:15 a. m., January 1. This was the first baby born at Garfield Hospital in 1943. CO-OP MEMBERS (Continued from page 1) the Board expedite repayment of the endebtedness t 0 Consumer Dis tribution Corporation. G. C. S. has been paying SI,OOO per quart er, has reduced the debt of SIB,OOO or almost half of the original loan which established G. C. S. as a Co-op. Sense of the meeting seemed to be that speedier pay ment, with the saving of interest on unpaid balance, should be made, but not at the risk of im pairing operating capital. Action taken by the Board will probably depend- upon the amount of pa tronage returns accepted i n stock and upon new investment in the Co-op. It was voted to obtain a Service Flag to honor employees of G. C. S. who have left for military serv ice. A motion to increase the re muneration of the Board of Di rectors was tabled. mr •LIFE -FIRE -AUTOMOBILE - BURGLARY •LIABILITY with Local Agent Service Call ANTHONY N.

Last Thursday evening found the Co-Opers their opponents in the opening game of the program, and as before, they beat back the latest threat to their top rung position by a 23 to 13 score. Paul Barnhart’s 5 points were the best accumulation for the losers. Great 9th Inning Club The Greenbelt Athletic Club pulled a stunning upset when they w-hipped Mayland by a close 32 to 29 score. It was their first victory, and it robbed Maryland of an undisputed runner-up spot. The triumph came on the strength of a 17-point last period spree. A1 Schaeffer with 11 and Frank Rabinhorst with 8 points shoul dered the winning burden, Bob Marrack supported with 7 points. Bill Blanchard, Donnie .Whitte more, and Eddie Kaighn evenly divided 2l points for the Mary landers. The High School Grads shoved Navy back into a cellar tie with the A.

Laden and Ray added 10 and 7 points respectively. Up To the Navy Richardson, usual score leader of the Navy, was again top man by being the only player on his team to tally more than one bas ket. He flipped three through the cords and a free toss for 7 points. As we go to press it will be the Navy Department endeavoring to snap O. E. M.’s winning ways in the middle game of the evening schedule. These games will be the end of the first round. Two new teams will make |their debut next week.

Ante Tags Defense workers who own auto mobiles and have moved to Green belt from out-of-state for the dur ation, will be required to purchase new Maryland licenses by April 1, George F. Panagoulis, director of public safety, announced this week. Exemption only will be allowed to “duration” residents who are members of the armed forces and war workers who maintain family residences in other States. How ever, both these groups must dis play tags of their respective States, h said. Looks as though the bowling league is finally establishing some J definite settlement of contenders, or something. There were three pretty determined teams out last 1 week, as Corner-Del, the Dodgers and American Legion will attest. 1 —oOo— , Lloyd Mac Ewen is certainly setting a brisk pace on the alley- ' ways. “Mac” displaced Harold Estes as leading high average 'man and holds high game and , high set records. —oOo—■ The Grizzliette coach. Miss Rose Nudo has alternated captaincy among her girls in every game this season. We’ve watched little Ora Don oghne play basketball for several seasons and the young lady has finally grown tall enough to score points where, in the past, it was the usual thing to see the ball batted down on har head when ever she let go of it toward the cords. —oOo—• Flexible Flyer weather on A block hill last week was the real McCoy. For two nights young sters and young oldsters belly whopped for all they were worth. —oOo— Little Petey Boggs, recently seriously cut above one of his knees, was out enjoying the sled ding, leg splint and all. —oOo—, That stuff about the Shamrocks getting a few licks mt the Wash ington Senators this spring is more than just idle talk. Sleep on the idea you new fellows. When practice is called there’ll be nine positions wide open for you to fill. ■—oOo—• Andy Farkas, the Washington Redskin, football ace and current ly mentor of St. John’s basket ball squad, expressed great sur prise and pleasure at the set up of our town when he visited with his boys several days ago. —oOo— We saw Tommy McNamara for the first time in several months. The sailor boy is plenty husky. Good luck to you Tom. —oOo— The Harrisburg Senators of the Eastern League would like to have Julie Andrus back with them next spring; could use Ernie Boggs’ flinging too, according to Ben Goldfaden, who knows the gentleman in charge of the team up there. Citizens Meeting Hears About Co-ops Monday evening’s Citizens As sociation meeting was highlighted by statements by the presidents of the local cooperatives, concerning their respective organizations, for the benefit of new residents. Francis Lastner spoke for Green belt Consumer Services; Fordyce Merriam for the Greenbelt Feder al Credit Union; and Sherrod East for the Greenbelt Health Associa tion. Members of the Board of Directors and candidates for po sitions on the boards of the Con sumer Services and the Health As sociation who were present were introduced. Mr. Thomas Ricker, General Manager, also spoke about the local stores. Questions from the floor were answered. A report was read for P.T.A. by Paul Barnhart in regard to the advisability of purchasing a new piano for the Elementary School. The committee felt that the possi bility of buying a second hand piano should be considered. D. C. Symposium Meets Several Greenbelters are ex pected to attend and may parti cipate in a symposium scheduled by the District of Columbia Co operative League next week on the subject “Protecting the Con sumers.” Among the speakers will be Donald A. Montgomery, former Consumers Counsel of the U. S. Department of Agri culture. A “Managers’ Panel” with participants from several! of the Co-ops in this vicinity is also planned. The meeting will take place next Friday night, February 12, at 8 p. m. in the downstairs room of the Friends Meeting House, 2111 Florida Ave., N. W., just off Con necticut Ave. It is open to the public and all who are interested are invited. PAGE THREE Eagles Claw Way To Top Perch In Bowling League A new sun has risen in the sky of the Greenbelt Athletic Club’s Bowling League. The Eagles have flown to the lofty perch their name would indicate they owned. The Eagles are now in first place, for the first time in 20 weeks of blast ing the maples. They got that way specifically by walloping the Dodgers in three straight games at Charlie Gen tile’s bowling palace in College Park Tuesday night a week ago. All while the Eagles were doing those great deeds the Commandos were blithely keeping in step, knocking dow n the American Le gion in a like manner. And in so doing, they hopped right over the two previous leaders, Corner Del and Vitamen, taking over second place behind the Eagles. Unexpected Upset The fall of Corner Delicatessen was the biggest upset of the eve ning. coming unexpectedly at the hands of the outlaws. The Jesse James lads, captained by Ben Goldfaden, listing such as Lloyd Mac Ewen, Phil Taylor, A1 Schaef fer, George Bauer and Curt Ba ker, socked Corner Del very rude ly in three straight games. Scratching a little into the rec ords we find that the lacing suf fered by Cor-Del shouldn’t have been too unexpected. The boys lebeyon ehtah lawvd Goldr ..1 beyond the law have won 8 of their last 9 gome and are as hot as any club in the league. There must be, and are, rea sons for the surge of the lawless ones. Phil Taylor has rolled right around 106 for weeks, Lloyd Mac- Ewen has been 2 or 3 points bet ter, while the rest of the team was well back of the century mark in averages. Have Gone Loco Now all of a sudden, while the others held up their end, Lloyd, Ben and A1 have gone loco. Mac’s star has scored clear to the hea ven of the league averages, above that of the chesty, little Hal Estes for the first time in a dozen or so weeks. Captain Ben has upped his mark to about 97, which is considerable upping from a sub-90 mark of several bowling nights ago. A1 Schaeffer has rolled with the team for about five nights and his mark has steadily climbed to its present 98. It might be said, in behalf of Lester Sanders’ Corner Delicates sen, that they were handicapped by the loss of their grand little bowler. A1 Bowman, who was home sick. Further too, is the fact that their reliable Lou Johnson bowled with bothersome blisters on his pitching fingers. Another New High Mac Ewen set a new high set record at 386 two weeks ago and came back this night with a new high game record of 163, topping by one pin the mark held by Bill Schulz.

Gasoline Supply Arrives For Greenbelt Motorists Along with the reports at the Co-op meeting came some good news for Greenbelt motorists. Thomas B. Ricker, general man ager of G. C. S., after negotiating with the Office of Petroleum Con servation and the Prince Georges County Rationing Board, has been assured that the Greenbelt Serv ice Station will receive a greater quantity of gasoline this month than last. Four thousand gallons of gasoline were received this week.
