Fast Mail Train Gone.
Mail Train Now Due Here AT
1929 A. NJ. Week DAYS.

Last Saturday morning the Fast Mail
train on the Western Maryland railroad
made its last run. and since that time
the people of western Maryland have
been getting their usual morning mall
along about dinner time. The first train
west at this place is scheduled to leave
at 10. 29 a. m. If it runs on time 1t IS
not so bad, but bad enough and no doubt
will many times be late and make mat
ters worse.
Perhaps we on this end of the line are
a little bit spoiled, for no doubt hundreds
of other towns know not whatit Is to get
early morning mail.
The new schedule of trains now is as
follows: Going west, 1929 a. m. and
Gal p. m. On Sunday this latter train
leaves here at DIT as has been the Gus
tom for some time past. Trains east
leave at 8 .29 a. m. and 5.43 p. m. daily.
The change on the w. M. has caused
some change on the H. & F. railway al
so. The schedule just issued gives the
time of cars leaving Thurmont as fol-
lows: g. .O3, s.O5, 1000, l0.45 A. M. and
los, 255, 5.15, 7.O5 P. M, all daily ex-
cent the 1000 car. Sunday evening the
car leaves at 9.24.
Strange to say that no car leaves this
place for Frederick Immediately after
the leaving of the 8 29 a. m. Western
Maryland train in the morning.
The rural mail carrier service from
the Thurmont Office remains as hereto
fore. To hold the carriers here for the
10. 20 train would mean that they would
not get away much before noon, and at
this time of year, bad roads considered,
could not get back until six o'clock, and
too late to get their mail on the train 60
ing east. Rural patrons will have to
read this morning papers tomorrow, or
subscribe for an evening paper and read
it next morning.

A Musical Treat Coming.

On Friday evening, January 1lth, the
second of the series of three entertain
ments presented by the w. l.. Radcliffe
Management under auspices of the Thur
mont Graded and High School, will be
given in the High School Auditorium.
The three artists who are to present
this program are well worth hearing.
Miss Elena De Marco, the producer and
m anager of the De arco-Aistrup Trio is
young Italian woman. She has studied
in New York, Chicago aed Italy; has
played in several good sy mphony orches-
tras, and is a skilled pianist. She not
only plays well; she is a delightful read
er. Several readings and pianologues
by Miss De Marco are promised as fea-
ture of the evening. She Is full of per-
sonalty and "pep.'
Miss Graves, the second member of
the trio, is charming singer and violin
cellist.
Probably some of our audience will
take most pleasure in Mr.. Lowell Ais
trup's part in the program. He is the
violinist, and you may know he can play
when you learn that he was offered the
position as head of the violin department
at the University of North Dakota.
The whole program will abound in mel
ody and humor. Music of piano, violin,
cello and voice--with readings and pi-
anologues thrown in-sounds good, does
it not? If you expect to be disappointed,
we are pretty sure you are going to be
very agreeably disappointed and surpris-
ed, yes,-pleased.
Admission, single, adults 35 cents;
children, IL or under 70 cents.

USin9 The War AS An Excuse.

There is one thing about existing
conditions that is daily becoming
more apparent. That is that a good
many people are using war conditions
as an excuse for their failure to exer-
else an unusual and inconvenient a
mount of energy.
Public officials, railroad men, pri-
vate individuals-pretty nearly every
body-seem to be forming the habit
when confronted with obstacles which
could be removed if faced squarely
and fought determinedly, of taking
the view that nothing can be done
about it because of the upset condi-
tions due to the war"
The fact is that if the men at the
top chose to exert themselves to the
limit, and make real personal sac
rifice to meet the situation, the same
spirit and the same energy and will
ingness to sacrifice will animate the
men further down the line clear to
the bottom of the organization and
the obstacles will be overcome. 1t,
however, the men at the top fail to
throw themselves whOleheartedly: into
the fight and say nothing can be
done about it" that spirit is going
down the line, too, and nothing will
be done about it.
Without desiring to reflect upon
the splendid patriotism and fine spir-
it that have animated some of the
railroad heads of the country, the
conviction cannot be escaped that if
all of them had buckled down to
remedy the bad railroad situation it
would have been remedied-and it
can be remedied now. if the deter
mination is manifested at the top to
do it.
Most of the difficulties that con,
front us today can be overcome quick
ly If the men at the top will go into
the fight without thought of them
selves and with the single minded
purpose of winning. And, at this
time, there is no excuse for the men
men at the top not doing exactly
that. Sun.

Leave Texas.

A telegram received Monday evening
by Mr.. D. R. Rouzer from his son Rob-
ert at Kelly Field No. l, San Antonio,
Texas, read: Kleason Stull, Geo. Root
and myself leave Texas today. Don't
write" Until word from one of them
is received here later, there whereabouts
will be unknown. A number of letters
arrived in Thurmont on Monday from
these boys, but nothing was mentioned
about moving. 1t is reported now that
the men at Kelly Field must be moved
in order to make room for the next lot
of drafted men.

WOMAN s CLUB TO
RESUME SCHEDULE
Relief in Coal Situation Makes
Possible Return to SChed-
uIe in Meetings.

Owing TO the coal situation and
the fact that il was not at that time
known exactly when the library
building would be opened for use,
the Woman's club decided two weeks
ago TO alter the program for the
year as given by the year books.
Since relief came in the way Of mild
weather and sufficient coal, how
ever, the schedule has been resumed
and the conflicting orders have re-
suited in some confusion.
The meeting Of the department
of art, 10 have been held Monday,
was postponed, due TO the fact that
part of the program was given at the
previous meeting in order that none
of il would be left out. The next
meeting will be held according 10
the book schedule, March 4, at
which time the omitted program
will be given and the regular order
Of meetings resumed.
The department OF music made
no alteration in its plans. except
that two Of the meetings were held
at the homes of members to con-
serve coal. Regular sessions at the
club rooms in the lecture room at
the library will be continued with
the next calendar meeting of the
department.
The general meetings will be con-
tinued without interruption of any
sort. The literature department has
also been irregular in its meetings,
but will resume its schedule at the
next meeting TO be held Monday,
Jan. %, at which time Miss Anna
Dobbins will speak.
The department Of Home Econ
omics, TO have met Monday evening,
was forced TO omit the program as
arranged entirely, but will resume
normally at the next meeting. March
4. AT this time election of officers
will take place.
During the business meeting last
Saturday the club voted TO invest its
funds in War Savings stamps, the
project being to possession 90 of the
certificates. The members of the
club have manifested their pa
triotism in various ways, and were
among the first of similar organiza-
tions to possess a Liberty bond.
