Food Drive Brings Reporters Here

Greenbelt has alwa.ys made good copy for magazines and news­papers, and the current food con­servation drive here is no excep­tion.

The fron~-page Washington Post story of last month was picked up by the New York Herald Tribune on April 28. Reports of the Green­belt dri\'e have been sent out by the Department of Agriculture to field offices, ant] last week a re­porter for "Consutner's Guide" spent the morning in Greenbelt gathering material for a story.

Last Tuesday, one of the editors of "Magazine Digest" came from Montreal to gather material for an article whkh they e"pect to run in August.

The edito:r, Sidney M. Katz, as­sured the Cooperator's editor that he would not refer to Greenbelt as a "test-tube town."

The belt of green girdling our community h:. wearing thin as a resu}t of the ":tittle horse-trading" betwen FPHP, PRA and Fritz Schrom which makes it possible for Mr. Schrom to build a large ai;r-freight depot on land belonging to the original Greenbelt tract.

The ::1ew airport will now be nearer Greenbelt than the present one and it wil1 extend to the new highway. From the cloverleaf of the highway to the depot wiH pour trucks carrying freight for· transport on huge planes. These planes will make much more noise than the cubs that now fly over Greenbelt and th~~Y will fly just as low. The enlarged air­port may mean p1·osperity and prestige for Greenbelt; it stands for progress in some people's minds.

We like to think of the plan under whkh Greenbelt was originally built and wish FPHA would think of it too some­times. A super-highway only 100 to 200 feet from Green­belt's back door a.nd a large air-freight depot just beyond were not part of the philosophy of the origin a.! plan. That the General Field Office of FPHA has littl~ appreciati\-e interest in G1·eenbelt, its residents or its local o.ffice here can be illustrated again by the fact that Greenbelt had no ink­ling of the airport deal until all arrangements had been completed.

The present FPHA set-up holds out little sa1:isfaction for the future of Greenbelt, so bring on your local ownership plans. '
