James Johnson, just another one of
the club walters that haven't for
got the time when he was poor. He

working to at least get coffee and
rolls. Well that amt bad these

The Little Diner Cafe seems to be
just that. Jimmie Lunceford and
his boys stayed in the city three
days and did they go for Mrs. Hay
es hot biscuits and corn bread. All
of the band boys while in the city
eat at Mrs. Hayes Cafe for that
home-cooked and delicious meals
served by Miss Cola Pierce. It
seems as though Mr.. Colby, Mrs.
Hayes brother knows just about
all the boys when they come here.
He is just one Of the cats. He's
looking forward to meeting the
cats in Andy Kinks band. bet he
knows at least 3 of them-as you
know Cooley use to hang around

FORMAL PARTY or DANCE

FORMAL PARTY or DANCE
The Danes gave their annual for
NAL on the Goth of January at the
Dreamland. The party was the
talk of the town. Everybody who
was there heaped high praise upon
the II girls for their careful plan
ned and well carried out program.
Old man Webster of the Dictionary
defines a party as thus: quote: -
A party, a company of persons for
social engagement-that's what
Webster says and the Danes lived
right up to the letter of old man
Webster. There was nothing to be
sold and there was no charge of any
kind. So therefore you we're real
ly invited guest. Here's hoping
the DANES Club stick together
and prosper in the future as they
have in the past. There is only n
way to give a dance or a party and
that is the right way and the Dam
es really we're right.

was reliably reported that mem

No one apparently knows Just
when the change is to take place,
but this fact has not deferred the
aspirants from continuing their

If the best in the State. Two men
who have definitely announced
themselves as candidates - both

local support and among those
working in his behalf is former

Many months ago a decision was
handed down by the Attorney Gen

was not under the Merit System.
Since that time scores of appli-

Would Eliminate Curves

40 By This Method

The employment of prison labor
on State Roads in Washington
County, as is now being done on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland. is
being advocated by Former Mayor
w. Lee Elgin, now Commissioner
Of Motor Vehicles.
The Commissioner cites specifi-
cally the need of eliminating the
many humps" on Route 40, be-
tween Hagerstown and Baltimore,
and is of the opinion that the high
way could be greatly improved
with but comparatively little ex-
pense on the part of the State.
With the completion of the new
highway, traffic over Route 40 will
be little affected" the Commission
er said. This is particularly true

FRIDINGER PLANS
ONE MORE BATTLE

The Mayor and Council will
hear another plea from Council
man Harry T. Fridinger at the
next meeting of the City Fathers,
when he will continue his fight to
raise the wage rate of laborers
employed in the Street Depart,
ment
Some months ago, Councilman
Fridinger asked that the rate of
35 cents per hour. now paid the
labOrers, be increased, but he was
voted down. The Councilman
pointed out that unlike other en-
plOyees Of the city, the laborers
are not paid when inclement wea-
Their shuts down the various jobs.
and as result there are many
weeks during the year when week
ly pay checks are much less than
$14 Mr. Fridinger states further
that during the past two weeks.
many of the labOrers were forced
to exist on Sc or 81.
If salary increases are the or
der of the day in City Hall for
white collar workers, there is no
reason why the pay of the laborer
shouldn't be increased" Fridinger
said. Il can't understand why the
Mayor or any other member of
the Council should be opposed to
this increase. Many of these la
borers have large families and it
is beyond me to understand how
they can support them on the
wages paid them by the City of
HagerstOwn. Others receive sal
airy increases without apparent eff
fort, but when | suggest an in
crease for the unskilled, | hear
stories of city poverty"
Councilman Fridinger says ne is
convinced that the people of Ha-
gerstOwn favor his course and that
he will continue the fight regard
less of opposition within the City
Hall.

Comm issioner w. Lee ElgIn,
who recently returned from a
trip through southern states, in
Guiding Tennessee, is coming up
with new idea. Down in that
part of the country, no speed
limits exist. The sky's the limit
and drivers are permitted to
breeze along the highways ar
sixty or even seventy miles per.
The Commissioner likes the idea
and is wondering if it wouldn't
work in Maryland. In my wild
est dreams | can't imagine even
Barney OldfieId clipping off sew
enty over our State roads in
Western Maryland, and living to
write home about it. Why, you

Mayor Richard will send out
''help me" call to the City Gen.
trail Committee this month, I'm
told, for the purpose of discuss
ing the coming City Election
problem. It's big problem, too,
because as matters now stand,
the b'hoys are in quandry. The
law is messed up and the method
of selecting Mayoralty candi-
date is just as simple as Elm
STEMS evolution theory. The
fact that the Mayor is calling
conference is somewhat confus-
inq to some of the members OF
the committee because they have
been under the impression that
the Barrister would be able to
fiqure that one out for himself.
Motorists are, as a general
rule, honest. At least SO think
city officials who report that
the number of slugs found in
the parking meters has decreas-
ed considerably during the past

400 Hunt Lost Boy
In Coast Wilderness

By the Associated Press.
REDDING, Calf, Jan. "A sick,
lost boy, Billy Coleman, II, who
vanished New Year Day into the
vast wilderness at the foot of Mount
Lassen, was hunted by 400 men to-
day.
They drained a creek yesterday
in a futile search for his body.
The only clues were provided by
the discovery near the creek of
part of the boys clothing, and by
tangled tracks partly washed out
by rain.
Sheriff w. w. Sublett said there
was possibility the boy still was
alive, but expressed doubt he could
survive another winter night.
The search has been under way
since Tuesday near the hamlet of
Viola, 40 miles east of Redding. 1t
is an area of dense forests, prowled
by cougars and coyotes, and swept
by icy winds and occasional snow
