ODD JOB WORKERS
BEING SUPPLIED
Unemployment Service Receiv-
ing Calls From Residents
For Help

The Hagerstown office of the
Maryland State Employment Serv-
ice reports many calls being re-
ceived for "odd-jobs workmen.
and judging from this, Hagers-
towns residential sections are
being dressed up" Painters,
carpenters and those familiar
with the planting of flowers,
shrubbery, etc., head the list. In
several instances workmen skill
ed in grading lawns have been
supplied to property owners. Do
mestics are also receiving calls
from housewives, through the
service.
Placements made by the local
office have shown a steady in
crease during the past three or
four months, and from all indica-
lions the number of men and
women placed in private industry
during April will show a further
increase. This is due to the fact
that home owners who have put
off making repairs, ETC., to their
property are now in a position
to make these improvements at
a nominal cost. The service rem
dered by the local office is with
out charge to both the employer
and the employee.
Several of the largest manufac-
turing plants in Hagerstown and
vicinity are using the service of
the Employment office exclusive
ly.

DICK" A CROW, IS
VERY UNUSUAL PET
Trained Bird at Williamsport
Accompanies Youth to
School Daily

One of the strangest pets in
Washington County, is a nine-year
old crow, owned by Joe Brandt,
II, of Williamsport. The crow.
named Dick" by its owner, not
only talks palmer than a parrot,
but is also a real pal to his mas
ter.
The trained bird accompanies
Joe to school each day, and waits
patiently on the window sill of his
masters class room until school
adjourns. Then he accompanies
him home again.
From time to time, little Joe,
like other boys of his age, gets
into trouble with his pIaymates-
and a fight follows. A yell from
Joe brings Dick" to the rescue
and the wonder bird Immediately
goes into action by pecking away
at his opponent. The boys faith
er, Ed Brandt, former deputy
sheriff, will verify the fact that it
is bad business to make an enemy
Of Dick, by showing scars on his
neck hands and ankles, placed
there by the pet The former
sheriff says that few years ago
he made the mistake of hitting
the bird with a stick, and like an
elephant, Dick never forgot this
punishment.
Dick, without hesitation, will
tell his enemies, and those he
doesn't like, to ''go to h. His
favorite sport is flying down town
looking for dogs. When he spots
one or more stray mongrel he
alights on nearby tree or roof
top and calls frantically. Within
a few minutes dogs are running
and barking, after which Dick
laughs heartily and flies away.
Bird fanciers are of the opinion
that the crows tongue was split
when quite young, but those who
have examined Dick recently, say
this is not the case.
Joe answers all technical ques-
lions about his pet by saying that
hes just a smart bird"

HANGOVERS
gy LITTLE HEIsKELL

This oubernatorial race in
MARYLAND is taking on the ap-
pearance of a Washington coun-
" race for sheriff. Almost daily
some quy announces himself as
candidate. don't like to be
catty about the matter but it
looks to me like this thing Of en-
tering your name on the ballot
for Governor is being reIegated
to the field of advertising. AS
the situation has developed, the
only guy to profit is the man
who prints the ballot.
From time to time, we have
heard of Governor Nice's enc
mics within his own party, who
have sworn to "uet him." In
several instances Republican
clubs have passed resolutions re-
uuestina him not to seek re-norn-
nation; others have openly an
nounced themselves as being
against him. But, strange as it
seems, the c. o. P. "antis" are
still under cover, probably driv-
en- there by the GuV himself.
While it is true that Guv Harry
went on record as definitely
scorning any possibility of his
again seeking the Annapolis job
he could, if he changed his mind
90 before the people and explain
away his former thoughts on the
matter by saying that he was
only cIownin'. Remember how
he ioked about So automobile

1t seems ages since we heard
of gold strikes in this neck OF
the woods.
They can quote figures about
the female of the species being
superior to the male behind the
steering wheel of an automobile,
and won't debate the subject
of whether or not a woman has
more nerve than a man, but the
fact remains that the fair sex
becomes frantic at the slightest
provocation. For instance, in
local theatre several nights ago
the lights went out during
storm and within a few seconds
you would have thought you
were at a bargain counter. A
2Oo-pounder next to me crawled
over my frame in nothing flat,
and rushed out into the storm.
! still say the majority of 'em
are down right dizzy in a pinch.

as in the good old days, kids
now ask Pop or Nom for a dime
