Have You Given Yet?
Of all the communities around Washington, the outstanding
model of cooperation is Greenbelt. So this seems peculiarly ap
propriate. It’s about the Community Chest —a cooperative job
if ever there was one.
Between October 1 and November 4, the beginning and end
of the county Chest drive, there will be plenty of stuff about the
campaign.
Don’t leave yet, though.
The Prince Georges Chest is not a far-away charity thing af
fecting only some unfortunate. It can help you. Fact is, it did
help a Greenbelt family recently.
This family had a whopping hospital bill. The family man
aged, and is still managing, to pay part of it. But it was a bill of
about $7,000.
The father in this family makes good money. Not enough to
face up to that rap, however.
So the Community Chest of Prince Georges County took over.
The father paid what he could and the county Chest took care
of the rest.
The remainder amounted to sl4 a day —a day, remember
for more than a year. Multiply sl4 times 365. It’s a lot.
Winding this up quickly, the statistics are:
The county goal is $65,000 and whatever else can be col
lected.
The campaign begins October 1, ends November 4.
If you have already donated in the District, slam the door on
the neighbor who will come around to collect at your home.
Uh if you DO slam the door, please look at your kids first.
But maybe you’re all set up to handle a $5, 000-plus hospital
bill, without help from the other people hereabouts. And maybe
all of them are equipped to meet a crisis like that without YOUR
help. ’ '
Whats Going On In Greenbelt?
PUH-LEHTV!
In Fact, More Than Is
Published Each Week In The
'Jtetvt Review-
This is a frank confession that not all the
news in Greenbelt gets into the paper. The
reason is simple it often happens that we
have no one available to get the details and
to write the story. To solve this problem, we
need reporters and writers on our volunteer
staff to handle regular assignments as well as
to train‘for editorial staff positions.
Requirements: 1( Curiosity about what’s
happening in Greenbelt, 2) a passion for get
ting tfie facts, and 3) a desire to write.
Compensation: The satisfaction of doing
your community a service, and also finding out
what’s going on behind the scenes in this
lively town.
Bonus: Learning the news first.
For further details contact the editorial
staff or visit the News Review office in the
basement of 9 Parkway any Tuesday night.

Thanks must go to the Tuesday
night Mah Jong group composed
of Mrs. Evelyn Barnett, Mrs. Jane
Green, Mrs. Rose Haber, Mrs.
Pearl Levine, Mrs. Sylvia Hoffman,
and Mrs. Ida Ryss for the contri
bution of $25 they made to the
Jewish Community Center building
fund. JCC President Ben Rosen
zweig has come out in favor of
bigger, better, and more Mah Jong
groups.
Brownie Troop 109 had a won
derful time Saturday at Andrews
Air Force Base. Janet Parker, the
leader, reports that without the
fine support of -all the parents, the
excursion would not have been the
success it was. The Dohertys, the
Lazaroffs, the Chasnoffs, the Bar
netts, and the Gambles not only
provided the necessary transpor
tation, but kept the Brownies from
straying and braved the mobs to
keep the troop well supplied with
the hot dogs, soft drinks and ice
cream that were provided at this
Open House in honor of Kids Day.
A daughter has been added to
the household of Mr. and Mrs. Paul
Strickler of 18-Z-l Ridge, well
known residents of Greenbelt. The
girl, weighing seven pounds, five
ounces, was born at Prince
Georges County Hospital on Tues
day, September 21 and has been
named Dawn Colleen. The two
Strickler boys, Mark, 7, and Scott,
4, .are now getting acquainted with
her.
