HANGOVERS
BY LITTLE HEISKELL

Probably never before in the
history of Washington County
have we experienced a Senator
iaI campaign with such little
fight and fanfare. 1t all seems
like a pleasant dream. One OF
these days We'll wake Up, reach
for the morning paper and there
in read brief item to the effect
that a campaign is actually I'm
der way and one Howard Bruce
is in the field against a fellow
named Radcliffe.
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1940-03-22

The thought has occurred to
me quite frequently in this cam
paign that perhaps both Messrs.
Radcliffe and Bruce are working
on an old map. You will remer1-
Der that originally, back in the
ox-cart days. Washington county
was part of Frederick county.
Now could it be possible that the
boys haven't heard of his new"
county up here in Western
Maryland? An, the irony of it
all! Maybe we won't even get
an opportunity TO vote!
The only information we get
about this coming election is
from the stage coach driver. He
says there's a rumor around Bal
timore that the campaign is on
and we have every reason to be-
lieve that he amt spoofing US.
Of course. it's a lot to ask but
we hope the candidates will ride
Up this way sometime during
the year-preferably after the
danger of spring thaws has
passed. The indians amt been
SO active around Braddock late
ly and maybe it will be safe for
'em to travel to this far-fiung
outpost, properly guarded, of
course.
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1940-03-22

Why, even the Hon. Mayor
Howard w. Jackson from down
Baltimore way seems to have
forgotten the whole thing. If
memory serves me correctly,
Howard, before showing off for
Florida, the Land of Blankets
and Chils, announced that he
would have something to say
about the matter when ne re-
turned to the Free State. Now
Howard has been back at the
fire-side for weeks and he hasn't
even said GOOD Morning" to
the postman, as far as | am able
to ascertain. An, we'll, maybe
his memory is slipping.
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1940-03-22

Of course, | amt the travelling
here in the mountains and don't
get to the big city often. You
see, Nom has her washin' and
ironin' to do and she amt cot
much time TO take her boy
around, but they do tell me that
Mr.. Bruce is really doing some
high-powered advertising in the
newspapers and on the bill
boards, down around the Monu-
mental City, and that Mr.. Rad
cliffe is making speeches here
and there in order to remind the
voters that there actually is
campaign on.

We have arrived at another fork
in Helena's church road. In which
direction shall we turn? Have we
advanced in the direction of prog
ress, aside from calendar for
ward movement of days and
months? A wise merchant, at the
end of each year, goes over his
stock to find out the condition Of
his bushes. Does his balance-sheet
indicate profit or loss; is it in the
black or is a crimson hue staring
him in the face with the certain
information of failure to accom-
plish his objective? Some people
are so temperamentally constit-
uted, as to construct their judge
ment in most attitudes toward
serious matters pertaining to life
into helpless, incapable and i'm
possible something, wistful, yet
wishful that something may turn
up to make their dreams mater
ialize. st. James has a small in
come from rentals, which at the
end of the present lease of the
church could be slightly increased,
enabling the trustees to paint both
buildings and make other repairs
necessary for their maintenance
and proper upkeep. Certain nee
essary repairs MUST be taken
care of if it is hoped ever to ward
off complete destruction of the
property. Certain facts, glaringly
evident and not sentiment should
govern the situation which Hell
ena now finds itself. If the old
ship of state goes into dry dock
and a stated amount set aside
for repairs, from the income,
there'll come a day, possibly, for
rehabilitation and maybe resum-
ption once more of the functions
so faithfully performed in the days
of long ago. Can progress be made
at present? Let the past and fu-

The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-01-16

The most sensational exploit of the
British battleship Royal Oak by German
U-boat, feat which was thought impos-
sible of accomplishment until it was
actually performed.
Riding at anchor in Scapa Flow with
a large number of other British vessels, the
20, 150-ton Royal Oak, with a belt of pro-
tective armor Is inches thick, was struck
by one or more submarine torpedoes and
sank so quickly that about two-thirds of
her crew of 1900 were lost.
Experts are specializing about what
kind of new torpedo has been devised by
the Germans to sink such a heavily
armored ship. And this also brings up
the old question of the vulnerability of bat
tleships to submarine or airplane attack,
which has never been satisfactorily an
swered. -.
For long time many have contended
that modern battleships of $4,000 tons and
over, such as are now being built by vari-
Gus nations, including the United States
are of questionable value, considering
their great cost.
These ships each represent an ex-
penditure of 60 million dollars or more
when fully manned require crews of 1900
them than is now available can be devised,
they seem to be naval liability rather
than an asset.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-01-16

DR.. j. B. Parramore, director of Monroe
County Health Clinic, has issued state
ment in which he expresses the opinion
that unless the city and county combine to
appropriate $1,000 by July towards the
maintenance of the unit, largely supported
by state funds, it will be moved to some
other "more appreciative" county.
The good doctor points out that since
July 1, 1886, wheH the clinic was first or
ganized, neither the city nor the county
has contributed to its support He says
that the 81 900 so urgently needed now will
insure an appropriation by the State Board
of Health of $4,000 for operation of the
clinic for the fiscal year beginning
July 1.
Monroe County Health Clinic is busy
and important spot in this community's
life. In fact, it deals with life and death
it protects the healthy members of the
community from those diseased persons
who, without the means Of providing
medical care and attention, might spread
disease. It protects the public that uses
restaurants, cafes, bars, soda fountains by
issuing health certificates to those work
ers who deserve them after examination
It deals with the mosquito, carriers of
disease, first aid, visiting nurses and many
other matters of vital public Importance.
There seems to be no reason why
Monroe County Health Clinic should not
receive the financial support of Key West
and Monroe County. Funds for road build
ing, policemen, firemen and other public
services and officials are provided an
nually. Why isn't there fund for public
health work such as that carried or bv the
clinic?
Certainly public health is as i'm
portant as fire and police protection, as
tree planting and mosquito control and for
other services. What does it matter if a
mans house burns down if he dies from a
burning contagious disease? What does it
matter if mans automobile is stolen if his
children are crippled for life by disease
spread by neglected playmate?
The Citizen believes that of all the
important functions the public health
ranks high on the list. Therefore, it is up
to our city councilmen and our county COM
missioners to do something to keep the
clinic in operation in Monroe County.
