HANGOVERS
BY LITTLE HEISKELL

uerstoWn Globe addressed TO ne
Haqerstown Junior Chamber Of
Commerce, in reference to the
need of World War Memorial
and the possibility of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce sponsor
ing this need.
We are presuming that your
letter was in good faith and not
political gesture, and accord
ingly have endeavored to secure
all the information possible in
connection with work that has
already been done towards the
erecting of World War Memoir
ial.
We believe that you and the
public of HagerstoWn will be in
terested in knowing all the facts
that surround the City's afforts
to obtain World War Memorial.
These facts are as follows:
During the period elapsing
since the World War, numerous
meetings have been called from
time to timee which we're at
tended by leading citizens and
representatives of civic and SER
vice organizations. AS a result
of these various meetings moth
ing was accomplished, due to
two reasons: First, lack Of
funds, and second, the inability
of those present to agree on
suitable type of memorial.
On April 4, 1885, the Mayor
and Council took cognizance of
the need of a World War Me-
mortal and the failure of the
various citizens committees to
accomplish this purpose, and
accordingly the following motion
is recorded in the City's rec
ords:
Ion motion of Councilman
Elein, seconded by Councilman
Lushbaugh, the City Attorney
was instructed to prepare an
ordinance naming Memorial
Boulevard from the power
plant to Virginia avenue"
The Boulevard referred to was
at that time under construction
and was known as "The Park
way having been planned and
started by the Sewerage Com
mission.
1t is our understanding that
by this action the Mayor and
Council wished to designate the
World War Memorial to the City
of Hagerstown. This ordinance
was drawn up and passed by the
Mayor and Council on May IS,
1885, thereby NAMING AND
ESTABLISHING. THE HAGERS-
TOWN WORLD WAR MEMOIR
IAL.
AS you know the present
Mayor and Council have decided
to delay work on this project.
The HagerstoWn Junior Cham
Der of Commerce is in entire
agreement with both the Ameri-
can Legion Post and Little Heis-
keII that a World War Memorial
should have been erected before
this time, but we cannot fail to
see where any organization can
undertake to sponsor a project
that has already been approved
and started by the Mayor and
Council.
We wish to 90 on record at
( this time as recognizing that the

immediate completion Of the
Memorial Boulevard.

generally presumed that only
work and worry would be the lot
of the chairman of the Diamond
Jubilee invitations committee. But
here comes Bill with extremely
interesting replies to his invita-
tions!
c. G.. Johnson of st. Paul writes
in part: Il was not present when
the town was founded, but along
in 1892 1 wandered down that
way and helped build your court
house and addition to the then
Schoolhouse, superintended the
building of your Jail and stayed
to build the j. P. Cooper and w.
F. Dunnington (Carl Melges) re-
sidences."
"We feel we are almost pion-
eers," remarked Mrs. Owen. G..
Tradewell of Rantoul, Illinois.
"OWen'S father T. j. Tradewell
came to Redwood in 1878 to work
for Birum in the old saw mill. 1t
was soon after converted into "a
flour mill. Father Tradewell is
making his home with us.
"My father, w. B. King came
to Redwood in 1880 and with his
father A. E. King operated the
King Brothers mercantile store.
II burned at the time of the big
fire on Second street in the early
'80's and they built a brick store
building on Washington street. 1
remember that fire"
J. r. McPhee has a dairy, kept

Bureau Officers
Petition FIR On
REA Appointment

Protesting methods of the Rural
Electric administration in dealing
with local rural electric organiza-
tions, Farm Bureau officers of IL
midwest states have petitioned
President Roosevelt to appoint an
administrator "in sympathy with
the objectives of the local farm
power groups"
'The position of administrator
became vacant a few weeks ago
when John .Carmody resigned to
taceept appointment as head of all
relief agencies at Washington.
Officers of the Minnesota Rural
Electric association and other
local REA groups objected to
Carmody's alleged interference in
the affairs of local organizations
and to his insistence on the spend
ing of funds for things they con-
sidered unnecessary.
