In his talk last Saturday he seemed

General Drums order declaring the

A further tribute to Maryland far
sightedness is the fact that Cover

The inside military fact behind

revealed. 1t was these facts which
Governor O'Conor and his friends
saw very clearly many weeks ago.
The inside and unfortunate fact
is that with Hitler having the
French Fleet almost within his
grasp, and wits his giant new bat
tleships ready to break out of the
Baltic, the Axis now has a fleet
in the Atlantic equal to the com
bined American British fleets in
the same area.
This is because the British must

certain number Of U. S. vessels
are now kept in British waters
because of the transfer of British
vessels to the Mediterranean and
the Indian Ocean.
Finally. the advantage In naval
warfare always goes to the often
sive power - the power which can
make surprise move. In other
words the Axis, by concentrating
it's big battleships, could make a
surprise raid against the Atlantic
Coast of the United States and it
would take some weeks to marshall
British and American vessels equal

DANGER TO EASTERN SHORE
Furthermore. this column, over
a year ago, pointed out that ac-
cording to the secret defense
plans of the War Department, it
has always been expected two
areas along the Atlantic Seaboard
were most vulnerable. One was
the peninsula of Maine which juts
out near Newfoundland and the
other is the Eastern Shore of Mary
land which guards the vital gate
way to the Capital and the airplane
and munitions plants in the Phila-
delphia-Baltimore areas.

FARMERS PLANNING

HARVESTING CROPS
Machinery and Men Will
Be Pooled To Solve
Labor Shortage

Farmers Of Washington County,
faced with a critical shortage of
labor this summer, are planning to
help each other in harvesting their
crops. This method, it is believed
viii help solve the problem, con-
ceded by farm and government ex.
perts, TO be one of the most acute
IN the nation.
According to present plans,
groups of farmers will organize in
their respective communities and
use all their machinery and men
on each others farm in order to
hasten the harvesting of crops. It
is pointed out that this method will
not only solve the labor problem,
but will likewise speed up crop
production.
The situation in this county is
not unlike other sections of the
country where migration of labor
to the industrial centers have in
creased considerably during the
past year. Fruit growers are also
anticipating a big shortage in la
Dor during the late summer and
fall.

Members of Symphony In
Defense Work Unable to
Attend Rehearsals

Unwilling that the musical quail
lty OF its concerts should suffer to
the extent that it undoubtedly will
during the present conflict, be-
cause ofsthe increasing difficulty
of its members to regularly attend
rehearsals, the Board of Directors
of the Hagerstown Symphony Or
chestra announced today that the
organization would discontinue its
activities until after the war.
Many of it's members, it was
stated, were handicapped. due to
being engaged in defense work,
while others have been called to
service with the Army and Navy.
These factors, coupled with re-
strictions on travel, have convinc-
ed the directors that to continue
under these conditions would ser
iously impair the efficiency and
quality of the programs. Rather
than attempt to present programs
not up to the orchestra's stand
ard, the directors unanimously
voted to suspend it's activities.
The season just closed was sue
cessful, both from the standpoint
of performance and finance. The
directors now have under consider
alton a plan whereby the Sym
phony Orchestra will lend its aid
