Boxing Show Saturday light At Cent~n School

By E. Don Bullian This Saturday's B0ys' Club Box­

ing S'how at the Center School promises tc, he an evening of thrills find cxcitemen~, if previous per­fornJances arc any criterion. Coach­es Pat Page and Lt. Smith have done a bang up job of getting thei::­ho~·s in top cor.dition in addition to soh·ing- a very difficult proble:n 0!' ma~ching the boxers. There ·were ~everal reasons why th P.

match-making became a probletr.. The chid cause was the fact t:lat 1110st of the Boys' Club in Prince Georges County had not begun their boxing programs. A!l'other ve1 y important factor was the cali .. her of Greenbelt's boxers. They had won the County Tournament and had been ins-trumental in win .. ning the point trophy for P.G.C. B.C. in the Jr. Golden Gloves Tour­nament in \Vashington. Several of Greenbelt's outstanding boxers will not J)articipate in this show because of the lat~k oi suitahle opponents. The show will ha"~e at least t•;,·o \Va!'.hingtcn Jr. Glove Champions and two runners-up in addition to four County Champions and one county runner-up. All of these boys will naturally c0mpete in the open or experienced class. Thi:-: <loes not meat. 11owever that th<':sc bouts will be mo1e ex~iting or in-· tere.-;ting ·~han the novice group, a,;

most of the newcomer~ have bee11 chosen for their aggressiveness and l)oxing ability. In fact. it i5 the writer's opinion that at lea~t three of t'he novice contc:;ts will have more dash. cc:lor ar:d flying g]n, es •han l"C'·l~t..._; 'tYhlch C·~.nt2in Cilc,.~-H­pions.

Two Aultt Accidents Mar Local lew Years Celebration;· Five Hurt

New Year's Eve in Greenbelt was marred by two near-tragic auto accidents that sent five persons to the hospital with injuries.

The first ace ident occurred on Crescent road between the laka and the Beltsville road when a car driven by John Paul Jones, 18, Berwyn, overtun1ed after he lost control of the vehicle while trav­eling over 75 miles an hour. Jones and his two passengers, Bruce Taylor, 18, 1-A :~orthway, and De>nald Patterson, 14, of Berwyn, were thrown clear of the car which was demolished.

The word "dom·~stics", says the article. means anr person who works in or around the house, in­cluding practical nurses, furnace­men. gardeners and baby-sitters. To be affected by rhe law, the do­mestic must work 24 days in a three-month period, starting Jan­'lary 1, 19;1, and :1e must be paid at h:ast $50 in ca5h wages during titi~ period.

Vol. 15 Thursday, January 4, 1951 No. 20

Travesty The refusal of the Public Housing Administration to allow

funds to be· allocated for the proposed welfare department and the failing rescue squad is short-sighted, abusive and ridiculous. Never before has PHA made quite so ciear its powerful strangle­hold on the life of our community and jts residents. Without re­gard for the elected representatives of Greenbelt's residents, PHA has declared in effect, that it alone will determine what are the community's needs and services.

This violation of the city council's rights, by usurping the C'ounci!s authority to provide services, is hardly understandable. The council and the city manager have performed superbly i.n the past in the administration of the city. The surplus of $12,000 for last year is testimony to their efficiency, frugality and intelligence. Only after careful investigation and deliberation did the council decide that the need for a welfare department is mandatory. There was no question of providing "financial assistance" to the needy; the part.-thne social worker would be asked to provide guidance and counsel to those citizens in distraught circumstances. It ·would relieve the city-manager, members of the council, the elerg,y and even the staff of PHA of the burden of providing this g:1idance.

The need for a reseue squad became alarmingly clear on New Year's Eve, when the local rescue squad carried three youths from an overturned ca~· to a hospital. A short time later, another rescue squad was called to provide the same assistance in another Greenbelt accid.ent. Without our local rescue squad service, our dependence on neighboring facilities would present tragic hazards. And there is no need to stress the importance of our rescue squad in the civil defense program. When the council included these two items in the budget for next year it was fulfilling; its function with honor and wisdom.

The total amount budgeted for the two items is $3700, less than a third of last year's surplus. This does not imply that the city ought to be rewarded with some frivolous benefit for its ec­onomical management. The services asked for are vitally nec­esE:ary. Also, we do not imply that the incentive for continued efficiency in the city government will die if we cannot enjoy a sur­plus for a selfish advantage. The city-manager and the council have proven their integrity by their record.

The indisputable fact remains that the city needE a welfare department and its rescue squad. The council is willing to provide them. It is part of its duty to provide them. By denying these services, PHA' has acted with flagrant disregard for the proper function of the council, and the community's welfare, and perpetra­ted a travesty on the American principle of representative se:f­go ;•ernmnt.

Former GHS Teacher On Overseas Duty

Ralph G. Beveridge, 8812 Ed­monston Road, Berwyn Heights·, whv formerly worked art the Green­belt Hig'h School, is being sen·t to the Far Ea~tern Theater as an as­sistant field director for the Ameri­t:an Kational Red Cross. This is ~·fr. Beveridge's firsrt overseas as­'ilignment with the Hed Cross. He is t'he son of Mr. and Mrs. William Scott Beveridge, Sr. of California, Pennsylvania. He received his Ma'Ster's degree in Education froM tl1e University of Maryland.

Down with Dishpan Hands Good-looking havds, like grace­

ful figures, do not need a great deal of expem;ive care. T·hey do, how­e,'er, require plenty of self-disd­pline-a requirement that can't be bonght at any beauty s-alon.

"It's so easy", says the beauty editor of Good Housekeeping mag­azine, ''to damage hands faster than can! will repair them". And here are S'Omt> basic rules "(hich s'he lists in the January issue: w~ar protective gloves for heavy

cleaning, gardell'ing, or tasks ·that stain the skin. Always wear gloves on cold days-even if you step out for only a few minutes. Scrat(Jh a wet cake of soap wi·th all ten nails to prevent dirt from s·etting deep ml!derneath them. Avoid plunging handts in very hot water. Always rin·se off soap completely, and clry trand•s t-horoughly.

Give yourself a perfect manicure once a wl'ek. Remem:ber that sev­eral thin coa·ts of lacquer protect nails better t•han one coat. Check nails nightly for rough edges, and ~motth them ,vith fine file or emery hoard.

Use a hand-softener-cream or lotion-first thing in ~he morning, hdore and after grimy or 'Net job:-:., and always after was1Jing hands. At bedtime, be ~ure to g·iye tiiem an ext1·a treatment.
