Washington, D. c., Jan. 2. - It
has just leaked out that Maryland
is about to become the site of one
of the largest and newest naval
and air bases in the entire United
States.
The site is in lower St. Mary's
County at the mouth of the Patux-
ent River at Cedar Point, also
known as Pearson. This is consid-
cred one of the best inland har-
bors in the United States and is
just across from Solomon's Island
Very quietly during recent
weeks, agents of the Navy Depart
ment have been acquiring land
The base will cover a total of
about 5000 acres, but considerably
more acreage may be acquired as
a sort of protecting belt to the ac-
tual base
This site long ago was suggested
W Tie ONeIulHeHl DIS navy DdSe,
but up until the U. S. declaration
Of war with the Axis, the whole de-
Iyelopment, was sidetracked as un-
warranted. Governor Herbert
OConor was one those who
made the suggestion; in fact, a
year ago urged the Navy to take
over this site with the cooperation
IF the State.
Construction of this new naval
base will make Maryland one of
the most important defense areas
in the country. With the Naval
Academy not far away, the military
encampment at Meade, proving

WAR PRODUCTION
HERE TO SURPASS
ALL RECORDS IN ~
Plants Will
Play Important Part
In Winning War

Hagerstown will usher in an
other New Year tonight, and with
1t will come the determination on
the part of its citizens, both work
ers and manufacturers, that during
the coming II months, this COM
munity will do it's part in supplying
Uncle Sans forces with materials
of war.
Unknown to many citizens, Ha-
gerstown ranks high in Govern
ment circles as one Of the most
important cogs of the gerat defense
program. Not only airplanes, but
scores of other items used by the
Army, Navy and Marine Corps are
made here, and it is the job of all
to keep 'em rolling" During the
past year production schedules in
many of. these plants have been
kept ahead of delivery dates, and
it is the intention CT all that these
schedules shall not fall behind and
hinder the most important job ever
to face the country.
Statistics compiled here show
that Hagerstown has been eXcep-
tionally fortunate this year, in
that strikes and other causes i'm
peding production has been kept
at a minimum. Wage rates in the
community seem to be comparable
with living standards and liberal
bonuses were presented to en-
ployees by a great majority of the
employers.
The year 1912, however, will find
our citizens working even harder
and much longer hours. Several
Of the larger industries will, it is
said, be working "a hours a day,
seven days a week, in order to
produce even greater quantities OF
materials necessary to win the
war. With this extension Of work
ing hours, HagerstOWn can also eX-
pect several thousand more men
and women entering the plants to
fill all available jobs in this great
effort to Out-prOduce the Axis pow
ers. AS the year grows shorter.
many of those now in defense in
dustries here will be called to the
colors, and if, as has been predict
ed, their places cannot be filled by
men, women will be called upon to
take over and carry on. Plans for
this procedure have already been
made by at least two industries
here.
Merchants Predict Good Year
With the certain increase in en-
ployment will come greater pay
rolls - probably the highest III the
! history of Hagerstown and Wash
ington County. Already the total
payrolls in Hagerstown are on a
par with those of World War No. l
days, but this city today has larg-
er industries than it had "a years
ago. When plants, now under con-
struction are completed, few, If
any able-bodied men will be un-
employed, and the largest number
of women ever employed will be
punching time-clocks.
Local merchants are looking for
ward to a banner year, for with the
huge increaes. in payrolls, record
sales are,~inevitable. Shortages in

grounds at Aberdeen, the chemical
warfare service at Edgewood Ar
senal, plus Fort Hoyle and various
others, few states in the nation
will have Maryland's concentrated
war establishments.
However, the construction at
Cedar Point also will be a consid-
cradle blow to hundreds of people
who have acquired property in this,
one of the most colorful and pic
turesque areas of rural Maryland.
The naval base will mean that
many fine old country mansions,
together with new estates in the
rolling countryside of st. Mary's,
will be condemned in the interest
of national defense. For the civil
ian population will be barred from
the area in and Immediately around
the new naval base.

MONTGOMERY BLACKOUT
In the first complete residential
blackout staged so successfully in
suburban Montgomery County,
there was only one residence
which refused point-blank to douse
it's lights. Irate neighbors, ire
spective of their own safety, pray

The house which was not black
ed-out by it's tenants was that OF

PEARL HARBOR DAY"

The State of Maryland now OBJ
serves some II holidays cOmmemo-
rating both national and State
events of significance. In 1912,
another special day may be added
to the Calendar - only it probably
will not be a holiday" in the
true sense Of the word.
1t is known that Governor Her
bert O'Conor has privately been
giving consideration to setting
aside every future December 7th
as a day of commemOration. 1t
would be known as Pearl Harbor
Day. and, for the duration of the
war, it would not be SO much a
holiday but day of special re-
dedication to duty and work.
The governor was moved to con
slider this because Annapolis, which
is the seat of State Government
is also the home of the U. S. Naval
Academy so many of whose top
flight graduates were killed al

In looking back over the past
few years I've just realized that
practically all the resolutions
made by Hitler and Musso have
come true. They have pounced
on defenseIess countries like an
over-groWn tom cat takes week
old mouse. It's as simple as
that. But now those yeggs are
in reverse. They're meeting
countries prepared for battle. Be-

ing, of course, from Berlin, Rome,
Tokyo and other tank stops. If
you do throw up your hands and

MISTAKE
Gin Rummy Lesson:

In gin rummy, as in all card
games of skill. there is a mathe-
NAUTICAL basis for many correct
plays. But mathematics plays
only a very minor part in gin
rummy strategy. You do not
have to be a mathematician 10
play well. nor do you even have
10 memoriZe mathematical rules
laid down by others.
There are. of course, some
matters of probability which are
apparent even 10 the beginner.
1t is obvious that YOU have a
better chance OF m king a
matched set IL you have, for
example, a pair Of queens than
II you have spade K-Q.
In fact, YOU have exactly twice
as good a chance. You will make
a matched set with the pair OF
queens If you draw either of two
possible cardS-either Of the
two other queens. There Is only
one card you can draw 10 give
you a matched set with the
spade k-Q-the spade J. since
an ace can be used TO make a
sequence only in ABB.
OPEN AT BOTH ENDS
Likewise. chance for a
sequence Is twice as valuable If
II is open at both ends. Thus,
club 9-S offers two chances 10
fill--the club 10 or the club 7:
whereas club at offers only one
chance. the club 8. With a choice
