effort to get var production con-
tracts.
The belief that 1t was, @nd the OBJ
jcctions thereto made by some shop
men who are faced with a shutdown
because they can't get government
contracts, grew out Of a miSundcr-
standing. Hugh Wilson, head of tn"
prison industries, recently returned
from Washington with the statement
that he was ''confldcnt' North Caro-
lima prisoners soon would be doing

from some chairman Of a sub-com-

Of a division Of the war production
board in Washington. OF he had had
more experience with these gentry
he might not have bsen so confidently
every available machine in the
country is needed for War work,
said the official in effect when talk
ing to Wilson and other prison men.
And of course that is true. But there
are a lot Of private shops in North
Carolina, shops larger than the pri-
sons, which are hungry for the same
kind of work. Until the WPB can
work out ways and means Of putting
the idle private machines to work,
it is hardly likely that the prison
will be given a contract to amount TO
anything, 1t is possible that the prl-

role in winning this war-and win
we will. When history is written,
the records will show that without
the woman war worker, America
could not have remained a free

1t is conservatively estimated
that the production plants in the

THURSDAY, NOV. 26
General , Holiday, With
Religious and Social
Observance

Thanksgiving Day, a day set
apart annually, usually the
last Thursday in November, for
thanksgiving to God for ma
tional mercies."
This is a definition given by
Noah Webster regarding the day
which the nation, by proclamation
OF President Roosevelt, will OBJ
serve on November 26.
AS usual, there will be a gem
eral cessation Of business on that
day, with the exception Of indus
tries engaged in war production.
There will be special observance
in the churches of Hagerstown and
the county, either individually or
Jointly, as may be arranged A
joint service, following an estab-
lished custom for number of
years, will be held by four churches
of Hagerstown. This year the
joint service will be held at st.
Paul's United Brethren Church at
10 A. NJ. Churches joining in this
annual service are st. Pauls Unit
ed Brethren, Church of the Breth-
rem, First Brethren and the First
Christian. The speaker will be
the Rev. Edwin Boardman. Jr.,
pastor Of the First Brethren
Church. The Offering received at
the service will go to the Day Nur-
sery and the Washington County
Orphans Home.
The day will be marked by many
home gatherings, with the custO-
mary feast or rOasts of other kinds.
But there will be a tinge Of sad
ness to more than one Thanksgiy-
ing dinner this year as a vacant
chair, or chairs will be noted on
account Of the family circle being
broken by some member or men,
bers being absent in the service Of
their country. However, the boys
in camp will have a special Thanks

Within the past few days, local
industries have been appealing to
women of HagerstoWn and Wash

this is that since Pearl Harbor

bands. But that job on the Home

this area has gone way down
here; in fact, it is so serious
that industries may resort to

take the places of men called to

If the Republicans are planning

the idea second thought; poll

plenty of headaches in getting

lem might not be friendly to their
interests.
Senator Tydings has not yet ap-
pointed a committee definitely but
Professionally it looks as if the COM
mittee would be composed of Sena-
tors Ellender of Louisiana, Chavez
of New Mexico, Murdoch of Utah,
Democrats; and Nye of North Da-
kota, and Tobey of New Hampshire,
Republicans.
Several months ago Speaker
Sam Rayburn and other good friend
of COngresswOman Katharine By
ron were definitely skeptical that
she could win the nomination
against Colone: E Brooke Lee.
Now they are beginning to wonder
if they were not mistaken.
Hindsight is always easier than
foresight, but it begins to look as
if the Democratic forces in West
ern Maryland did not pay enough
attention to the Widow Byron.
Even though she was still a
member of Congress during the
Congressional Campaign, she was
not invited to sit on the speakers
platforms at rallies, nor extended
other cCuriesies usually shown to
incumbent Congressman. Mrs. BY
ron was even denied an invitation
to a large gathering in her own
back yard at HagerstOWn.
This was not the fault Of candi-
date Brooke Lee. He knew moth
in gabOut the matter. but he got
the blame just the same.
Incidentally, if Mrs. Byron had
won out in the Democratic primary
it is probable that she would not
have been opposed by Glenn Beall,
loyal Byron follower, and a
friend Of long standing.
NOTE: How close Beall is to
Mrs. Byron is indicated by the
fact that he has already made ar
rangements to take over Mrs.
Cathryn. Wolfe, popular secretary
to Mrs. Byron, to run his own Of
fee.
