On Monday morning the
quiet, home life of Mrs. Charles
]. Holzmueller came to a close
after several months of illness.
Living across the street from
this neighbor afforded an op-
portunity to see the devotion
Mr.. and Mrs. Holzmueller held
for each otheTss which had
grown with their years lived
together. Their days have gone
by pleasantly and well, rear
ing a fine family of boys and
girls, who brought comfort and
joy in the months of incapaci-
tation of their mother and will
now have devotion and under
standing for their father. The
emphasis in Mrs. Holzmueller's
life was on her church which
she served with gifts al 1 at
tendance as long as her health
permitted. She filled her place
in her home with dignity, and
maintained the belief as long
as she lived that that was
woman's place, leaving world
affairs to the men. Her good
deeds and thoughts will be
carried on through the lives of
her sons and daughters who
will emulate her teachings and
her wisdom.

mas Day! But what
was the difference, If
"a families were to-
gether and enjoying
the best of health? There was
much visiting between friends
all day, all the visitors being
anxious to see what the good
st. Nick had left of his very
generous pack. And there SEEM
ed to be plenty of gifts, and of
all kinds from cars, watches,
bracelets, and luxuries of many
varieties right down to bare
necessities. The latter are the
last consideration often at
Christmas, for that is one time
in the year when you can let
yourself go and have spend
ing spree. Missed this year
were the several groups of
singers on Christmas Eve. In
terests, perhaps, were more
varied and the singers did not
get together as formerly. The
Crooked Little House in Plaza
Square has caused favorable
comment by all and surely has
been boon to the children who
enjoyed visiting with Santa
Claus. This could be repeated
next year with more pleasure
to the little folks. The days are
going swiftly by and a new
year is just as swiftly drawing
near. The wish of peace for the
world in 1912 is the supreme
wish of all. May the year find
you ready to face what comes,
but may there be no unhappi-
ness,i nor warfare ahead. This
crowns all of the wishes for the
next twelve months. Happy New
Yearl

ANOTHER CALL FOR
STUDENTS IS MADE
Openings Available At
Vocational Training
School Here

Officials of the Vocational Train
ing School are making another can
for students.
Sixteen months ago when the
schools were opened, hundreds OF
young men applied for training.
but due to the limited facilities,
only a comparatively few could be
accommodated Since that time.
however. additional school space
has been rented, more equipment
installed and an increased number
Of instructors has been added to
the staff.
Several thousand young men
have been trained in these sixteen
months and while no definite fig
ures are available, a greater ma
jOrity of them have secured en-
polyment in national defense indus
tries here and elsewhere. More
Government orders, running into
the millions Of dollars, have been
placed in HagerstOwn during the
past two weeks, and this together
with the additional building pro-
gram now under way at the Fair
child Corporation, means that hun
dreds more young men will be
needed.
There is no definite shortage of
students here at the present time,
it is stated. and probably a suffi-
cient number of young men will be
available for these courses for the
next twelve months. But after
that time, if present conditions still
exist, many believe the surplus
will vanish.
Not all the trainees graduating
from the Hagerstown's Vocational
Training Schools are assigned to
the Fairchild plant, employment
officers state. Many have received
employment in other shops and in
dustries and others have obtained
positions in Baltimore, Philadel-
phia and other cities.
The type training given also
qualities the young men to take
jobs in industries not directly en-
gagged in National Defense work.
