·My children would be delighted to have a pet. · In deciding the question, that will ·prob;lbly come before the town soon, each resident will have to consider the fact that his dog may annoy or. distress fifty of his neighbors.

Even the most friendly dog is a· potential harbore~: or carrier of germ~; parasites, and pqisons tha~ endanger us-.speeial!y in times :of tic:ks,

, ~-Filth" or "littering the prem­ises" is not half of the story con­nected witil canine waste.' Con­trary to the belief of the public, seve1 al varieties of worms that com­monly infest dogs produce seed or eggs which easily find their way from the contaminated ground to inflict persons (especially children) with the ailment or disease. Check this statement with the Public Health Service bulletin.

In the country, where there is free range for animals, such alarm is not necessary. But in Greenbelt, with many children but with limit­ed space. dogs would certainly be a great hazard. ·

In considering the question let's bear in mind the safety of our' chil-' dren as well as their pleasure.

Navy Wtves Bake Sale The Truman Riddle Navy Wives'

Club of Greenbelt will lnld a hake sale Friday, May 6, in the lobby of the Greenbelt theater starting at 10 a.m. They plan to offer a varied selection of cakes, pies, cookies and candies.

ALL INTERESTED: We have been told that several residents have criticized our publication of the Police Blotter. It is alleged that people are n:luciant to make plaint be omitted from the l3lotter, plain be omitted from the Blotter, when calling the police.

This paper has never in'tended to embarrass people through publica­tion of their names, or to discoul:'­age residents fro:m securing right­ful protectioT'. and services from tl.e Polir.e D!!par·:ment. The Blot­ter is intended to inform Greenbelt citizens of the activities of the Pohce Department; and we believe it is one of the most popular fea­tures in the paper.

We are sure 1chat it came as a surprise to many restdentr, that our police were busy with such prob­lems as juvenile delinquency, stuck bathroom doors, stray animals, and providing ambulance service!. The lead story in this week's Blotter demonstrates dramatically the com­petence of our Police Force; yet is just one action of a single com­plaint. It may be that Greenbelt residents are convinced that the Police Department is functioning properly and are accustomed to the num~er and variety of complaints.

We would appreciate our read~ ers' opinion of th~: Police Blot­ter.-I.J.
