DELPHIAN SOCIETY
OPENS FALL SEASON
Interesting Discussion by
Conococheague Chapter
OF "WOrdSwOrth"

The first fall meeting of the
COnocOcheague IChapter of the
Delphian Society was held at the
Women's Club, following a one
O'Clock luncheon.
The Chapter will study "Crea-
tive Thinkers" this year. William
Wordsworth was under discussion
at the first meeting at which Miss
Eleanor Hoover, Waynesboro, Pa,
was the leader.
The high light of the meeting
was a comprehensive review by
Miss Innes Boyer of the important
literary figures from the very be-
ginning of English literature up to
the turn of the present century.
This was a very fitting climax to
the opening meeting of the sOcie-
ty.
In the absence of the president,
Mrs. Robert H. McCauley, who is
i'll, Mrs. G.. H. Mowrer presided
and introduced the speaker.
The next meeting will be held
on Tuesday, September II, at 10
A. NJ, at which time Carlyle will
be the author under discussion.

FINDING MEN FOR JOBS!!

Less than l. months ago, the biggest problem
confronting the Hagerstown Office of the Mary
land State Employment Service was finding jobs
for men. Today the problem is reversed-finding
men for jobs.
AS in all emergencies the skilled mechanics
get first call-ind the local office is getting more
than its share of these requests. Sheet metal work
erS. precision machnSts, WelderS, WOOdWOrkers,
cabinet makers, and scores of other men with trades
are being sought but the demand is greater than
the supply. The personnel has tremendous head
ache, and the only cure apparently is larger num-
Der of registrations.
Reason for all this is the Governments speed
in arming America for any emergency. From all
parts of the East, the Hagerstown office is being
bombarded with requests for mechanics But local
industry, also yelpng to the high heavens for the
type of mechanics are getting first call. In
dustry here is putting speed, and with greater
production, comes greater demands on the Employ
ment Service.
Sensing the evergrowing demand for me-
sttuted training classes at the HagerstOwn High
School A large group OF young men were selected
to take a six weeks in welding, sheet metal
work wood work and machine shop practice. The
youths made good and Immediately upon compile
ton of their course, they assigned to local IN
dustrial plants engaged in National Defense work.
Only few failed in their efforts to get employment
immediately but this was not due to their inability
to handle the job-severa of the plants are crowd
ed to capacity and short space. New add
lions to plants will soon solve this problem and in

Cowboy Best Dressed Man,

When New York City was still un-

Of rude huts. the great ranches Of the
Spanish grandees stretched from Mex
leo City to Texas. It was on these
great estates that Americas first cow
boys rode the range. There the Next
cans developed the cowboy costume
which later became a uniform for all
cattlemen in western America from
Mexico TO Canada. During the same
period a great cattle industry devel-
oped in South America and the cow
boys Of the Pampas wore a costume
which best suited their work. The garb
of the South American gaucho was In
many ways similar TO that worn by
American cowboys.
Figure Of Romance
There can be no doubt that the
cowboy Is not only the most colorful
but also the most romantic figure
America has produced. He has been
the inspiration for literally billions OF
words Of fiction and hundreds Of songs
OF daring and adventure. The best
American folklore is that woven about

Feeding. breeding and management

began work In the state. In the ex-
tensive amount Of field work which he
has done in carrying on his program,
Lewis has won the respect and coop
Grafton Of stockmen IN all parts OF the
state, Taylor said. Lewis originated the
idea OF a state show herd that would
call the public'S attention TO the fact
that Montana produces livestock whose
quality is without peer anywhere in
the country.
Besides his work with stockmen, he
stimulated the activities Of All live
stock clubs with the result that there
mas been marked increase IN feeding
operations on the part of these junior
stock growers. Through the assistance
OF the state All club office and Vel
lOWstone county livestock enthusiasts,
Lewis was instrumental In starting e

There is no getting around the fact,

The broad hat and other accoutre-

called "rancheros" or 'vaqueros."

Explaining that this year some

points out that the national defense
program with speed as its keynote,
has spotlighted the need for new
housing, has shifted and concen-
trated it and, above all, has made it
imperative that much of it be sup.
piled Immediately. Regardless OF
its attitude toward meeting normal
