The real property tax rate wa.s established at S3.6.S per $100 assessed valuation and the tax "ate or. pP.~onal J•n•ru·rty remains $1 per $100 valuation.

Housing Group Plans To Increase Members

.-\ preliminary organizational m•.:eting of a new Gr..:enbelt Vet­t·r·an.s Housing Corporation c.>m­tnittee to incre~ membership «nd obtain deposits on the pur­e hase price was held Tuesday :•!ght. Anticipating the early an­nouncement ot the sales price of Greenbdt by Public Housing Ad­ministration, work will now begin to prepare GVHC membel'Ship for the "'tim<!-table" established for the nlgotiated .sale .

Mik(: Salzman, president of GVHC, disclosed that the pric~ 1,hould be forthcoming t:his week. If not announced by tonight, of­hcers of GVHC plan to visit P.HA for consultation.

.Members of the c<m1mittee are Robert Davenport, cha!r:man, and four vice-presid~nbs: Helen Cowell, Carolyn Miller, Lloyd Moore and Earl Thomas. The city has been £Lvided into four sections which E.'ach vice-president wili o!"ganize into district.l! for "blo.:k captains."

According to the negotiation ;,o::hedule, GVHC must have a min· tmum of 800 members, and deposit ··earnest money". Ten percent of ~ut::h money will bi! a "good faith" df'posit. This must be done three months from the date ot the an­nounced price. 1n the next thr~ months, the 10% down payme:nt must be made, plus pre-paid, taxes, insurance, and money for an op­<·rating fund. <Thls may amount <o 12-13'"L> At the end of .six months. ':.itle ca:1 be transferred if all the conditions arc n1et.

CO-OP NURSERY The Greenbelt Cooperative Nurs­

t ry School !las a few vacancies in it,; morning class for three year o!ds, and in it:; afternoon class for four year olds. A week's free trial is being offen-d to prospective MPmb('rs. For further informatj.on about the school call Mrs. Robert Anders. Gr-2926.

.-\ bake sale for the benefit of the S('hool wiil be held ()n Friday, De­(';·mb<'r 21, in front of the Green· belt Theater.

The budget was unaltered af+..er last Thursday's public h~aring on the budget. About twelve citizens attendoo the hearing and several minor ·suggestions were made. It \\as determined tha.t the sutrgE>S· tions .:ould be undert.l.ken later within the present budget.

Mayor Frank La.stnttr was .lU­

thorized by the counc!l to sign R.

l:udget agreement with PtH:A for the budget amount requested. The budget is now at PHA's o111ce· awaiting t!1eir approval.

There were no indications from council as to the reception the budget would receive by PliA Close scrutiny is anticipated since there will be no surplus declared from this year"s budget and the 1952 budget exceeds last year's b~ almost $28,000. Most of this aJnOunt re,;mlts, however, from "COIQ of liv­.ng" pay increases to cUy em­ployeea; these followed simllar federal government pay increases.

Phone Issue The most "controv~raial" issue tO

confront the council during the budget deliberation was a plea by councilman Ben G<lldfaden to re· place the private phone .service for Public Health Nurse Frances· Stauffer. He reported that many t:itizens had called him recently ex· pressing dissatisfaction with the present arrangemi'nt. <P..esidents must now use t'he city switchboard, b:; oalling 2011, to contact the pub­lic health ofllce. Previ09Bly, re.si­dmlts could eall her directly.> Mrs. Stauffer stat<?d that many resi­t'!ents told her the.y wet,:, reluctant to call her on health matters be­cause they considered the;r privacy was jeqpardized by the present :~ystem. She suggest<:!d that citi­zens were not using this public i

service !lt a result. City manager Charles McDon­

ald explained that the eonsolida­tion was effected for purpoBes of efficiency and economy. A!l call.s are now recorded and .n~g<J:s are relayed to the pub!ic health nurse if she is ·not available at the time of the call. He stated that there is more "privacy" at present than before; all the calls are taken, with no ri::~k that the nurse. may miss them.

The council felt that the present system is the Ler:.t. Uoldfad<>n stated that he would .lppreciat1;

the presen~e a.t council m~tings o! those residents dis!::atisfied with the prrsent phone- arrangement.

Subversive Issue McDonald is Sull investigating

the publications being sent. . to the public library by t.he Soviet Em· hassy to deter-mine whether they are subversive. He has .been m contact with superintendent of schools William Schmidt; there is n board whic.'I surveys such mat­ter in the school system. He has been informed that the pubHcation is available at the Congressional Library. Meanwhile, the material has been witlldrawn from the li­brary shelves.

But when she got h•'r fust job in a theat<·r, she· changPd h('r mind and ··- apparently -­t·hanged it for good. Unlike most attractive young girb exposed to any phase of movie lifE~. Shirley never wanted to be an actress. When she has the time, she like• to read. "! read everything," she> told us, but she likes best the se­riomJ fic~ion turned out by Lloyd C. Douglas, Gr~ham Greene and the like. "Since I've been in Greenbelt,'' she said, "I've found the people are wonderful. They've treated me so very well."

Summers Shirley en}oy.,; all tho:? sport'!!. In !act her first cor.tact with Greenbelt, before moving here, was via the :!Wimmin'g pool.

The staff l><.!hind her, whom Fruchtman especially commend­ed, are: Mary Ellen Smith, cash­ier; Joan Harnmersla, concession; Ruth Rhodes, ooncession; Page Chandler, ush•!r fAnd at present m.c. for the Saturday :matinee); William Colliver, Ullh.er; Done.ld Brown, usher; John Sauls, usher: E::t.rnest Roberts and Clarence Ro­dey, proj~ction room.

In all of thesP young peopl<", Fruchtman and aa; feel the confi­dence to pr-edict that if anything is needed to put the Greenbelt 'Theater on its feet: this staff will d·J it, and provide "quiet ar.d en­joyable theater" at the Fame time.
