catastrophies which are wide

frequently creating a problem in
identifying victims.
A member of the local commit
tee stressed. at an organization
meeting. the following: Let us
not overlook the fact that the
tragedy and grief which result
from inability to positively identi-
fly persons is likely to occur here
in Hagerstown, to us and our loved
ones, as it does in hundreds of
places in our country every day"
Any organization or individual
desiring complete information on
the many advantages Of voluntary

The subcommittee of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce general
committee, under the direction of
Roy Dancer. Jr. has developed
plans to soon provide facilities
Or recording the fingerprints of
the endorsing organizations. Nd
tional Youth Administration Off
Gals have already approved 8
project to provide personnel for
recording the prints. AS soon as
the operators are selected, public
booths will be established in con-
venient locations in Hagerstown
to make it convenient for all citi-
zens to voluntarily submit their
prints.
Harold n. Helm, director of the
educational subcommittee said re-
Gently in a public address that
fingerprinting offers the only posi-
tive means of identification as
now known to mankind; that the
names, handwriting and other ply
steal characteristics can be and
have been changed, but that fin
gerprints remain unalterable from
three to four months prior to birth
until decomposition sets in after
death and also that it is claimed
the chances of two fingerprints
being identical are only one in
$40, 100000.
A few of the reasons being ad
vanced for voluntary civilian fin
gerprinting are: The fact that
over $4,000 unidentified bodies
are buried annually in the United
States; many wives and children
could collect the insurance or
lives of many of those buried un
identified; assist in location and

! Rumor hath it that people in cer-
tain towns of eastern North Carolina
have been approached regading the
formation Of German-American
Bund. Those approached in Roanoke
Rapids (also according to rumor)
turned the matter down cold.
What are we going to do about it?
We believe in freedom Of speech,
so we do not believe in suppression
of that right.
There are things that can be done,
nevertheless: we can put more pep
into democracy. "Waving the flag
has gone out Of style, except with
| few out-of-date politicians. We
ought to have more Of it. Instead OF
suppressing the natural desire to
march by military music, we should
capitalize on it. The high school
bands have been a step in the right
direction. The teen-age group is go
ing to get excited about something;
we must see that it gets excited
about the right things. We must do
more talking about the value Of our
form of government and less about
our imperfect government officials.
Our aim should be to develop, not
deride our democracy.
DR.. English Bagby, of Chapel Hill,
performed a fisherman's miracle at
Atlantic Beach last week. He was
casting and caught a stone crab. To
do that, his hook had to fall by ac-
cident on the invisible lair of the
crab; had to go all the way down
the hole until it reached the crab;
and then had to hook the crab by the
"elbow", as stone crabs don't take
hooks.
His claws made mighty good eat
