For Annual Fair

At meeting of the officers and
directors of the Hagerstown Fair
Association, held last week, it was
voted to hold the annual exhibition
the week of September 20 to Is and
plans were set in motion to make
the Fair one of the finest in the as
sociation's history.
As Timonium, site of the Mary

by the government for the duration,
it is hoped to have the local Fair
designated as the state fair this year.
So far, Hagerstown is the only ma
jor fair announced in Maryland.
Contracts for grandstand acts and
midway concessions, already in the
process of negotiation, will be closed
Immediately and various depart
ment superintendent will start
plans in motion for the various ex-
hibits.

ing of the pleasure driving ban, off
Gals feel that this years exhibition
will set records from both an attend
ance standpoint and quality of ex-
hibitS.

Fire At CavetOWn
Canning Plant

A fire, apparently started by spon-
taneous combustion in the building
shed, destroyed several buildings of
the Southern Packing Co., Inc, last
Sunday afternoon, but the main
building was not damaged, except
for some broken windows.
The Western Enterprise Fire
Company of Hagerstown, the
Smithsburg Volunteer Fire Compa-
ny and fire company from Way
nesboro, Pa, responded to an alarm
and battled the flames by pumping
water from swimming hole on the
farm of John Phetteplace.
One thing the fire did, was to
prove the effectiveness of the Cave
town office of civilian defense
Shortly after the fire broke out, the
"blue" siren used in air raid tests
was sounded and auxiliary police
and air raid wardens from Cave
town and vicinity were soon on the
scene and aided in handling traffic
and kept onlookers from going near
the blaze. James Wolfinger was ir
charge of the OCD units.

given a, new application to fill out,
but remember that the Office of the
Board is now open from 9 a. M till

Prevent Lockjaw,
Says Health Dept.

Whenever flesh is punctured or
torn think of tetanus-or lockjaw
as. it is often called-and take pre-
cautions against it," DR.. R. H. Riley,
Director of the State Department of
Health, reminds the barefoot boys
of Maryland and their parents. "a
dose of tetanus anti-toxin should be
administered Immediately to pre-
vent the possible development of
lockjaw.
"When boys, or girls, yield to the
hot-weather temptation to run
about minus shoes and stockings
they run the constant risk of step
ping on nail or running a splinter
into their feet, injuries which pune
ture and tear the flesh. Such deep,
closed wounds are favorite, sites for
the entry and development of the
tetanus germs that Turk about in the
dirt of city streets and country lanes,
as well as in the manure-contami-
mated earth surrounding stables.
when the barefoot youngsters
handle shotguns or air rifles they
run a double risk. Injuries from
shot and explosives also produce the
type of wound in which infection
with the germ that produces lock-
jaw is common.
every person who acquires such
wounds from nails, splinters, explo-
sive or other causes should be taken
to the doctor promptly for inocula-
ton with tetanus anti-toxin. This
shot opposes the action of the
germs that may have entered the
body and prevents possible case Of
lockjaw from developing. No mat
ter how slight the injury may seem
or how small the wound the anti
tetanus serum is strongly advised
Take no chances with a disease thai
is dangerous and very often fatal
The injection can do no harm, ano
you may be very sorry if you DOM
take this precaution.
Local treatment of the injury is
also in order. Thorough cleansing
by physician is the first need. Their
the wound should be kept clean anc
kept open; because air kills the
germs that can produce lockjav
when they are allowed to thrive il
closed punctured wound or il
ragged, torn flesh"

County To Have
Labor Camps Soon

Final steps to bring the camp for
Bahaman labor near Smithsburg in
to reality, are under way, according
to an announcement made by Coun-
ty Agent Mark Miller.
Agricultural leaders in the vicin-
ity have organized into the Smiths
burg Farmers and Fruit Growers
Association, and have purchased
two acres of land between Cavetown
and Smithsburg. Here the camp
will be set up, to house the imported
labor that will serve to alleviate the
manpower shortage fer the farmers
of Washington county.
The first truck load of buildings
and equipment, which are being
moved from fredericksburg to the
Smithsburg camp have already ar
rived The entire camp, which will
arrive here by truck, comprises a
mess hall, four barracks buildings, a
shower house, wash room and other
items of wood construction.
The Smithsburg Farmers and
Fruit Growers Association is leas-
ing the ground to the War Food Adj
ministratin, which will operate the
labor camp. The VIA will supply
a supervisor, personnel officer,
nurse, army mess sergeant to run
the dining hall, and other necessi-
ties.
The farmer contracting to use
this labor incurs no expense what
soever, other than the prevailing
farm wage rate of 40 cents per
hour. The Bahamas are fed and
boarded in their camp, without ex-
pense to the farmers of Washington
county-they will even have their
noon-time lunch.
The Bahamas, under regulations
may be employed only in agricul-
tural pursuits, and are not permit

No Corn For Liquor.

Corn cannot be used for manufac-
ture of distilled spirits and high
wines, a recent directive of the War
Production Board says. The action
was taken to conserve stocks of
corn for essential purposes, although
the amount of corn saved is likely
to be small because distillers all
ready had shifted largely to the use
of wheat.

Royal Cloak
Now On Display

One of the most popular exhibits
ever to be shown at the local Art
Museum is the Royal Cloak of an
Indian Begun (Princess), now on
display. Set in the Museums case,
which usually contains the Hager
relics, the cloak evokes "Ohs." and
'Ahs!'' of admiration from all Wis
itors.
This royal robe is fashioned from
fine lambskin, almost like chamois
in texture, and is of a deep cream
color. 1t is lined with matching
cream satin. A standing collar adds
to the grace of its flowing lines But
all of this fades in examination of
its beautiful decoration. This is
composed of bands of geometric pat
tern, worked out in spun gold, mar
row at the shoulders and running in
ever widening stripes to the hem of
the cloak. The larger masses of the
design are broken by rosettes and
swirling medallions, from some of
which hang pendants of gold thread.
For color contrast there are beads OF
turquoise encircling part of the pat
tern on the front, on the ends of the
pendants, and on the fastenings.
All this by way of description;
what of the Begun whose shoulders
it graced? Born an Abyssanian
princess, she attracted the attention
of an Indian prince, the Nawab Of
Sachin, touring her country in the
early half of the 18th century. They
fell in love and he carried her off to
India as his bride Here then is part
of her trousseau. The cloak re-
NAMED in the family of the Nawab
until his grandson assembled the
throne of Sachin. At the ceremonies
incident to his coronation Mr.. and
Mrs. Stanley Wood Walton were
able to be of great assistance to the
young Nawab. In turn, he present
ed the Royal Cloak of his Abys-
sanian grandmother to them as a
mark of his appreciation. The cloak
is lent to the Museum through the
kindness and generosity Of Mr. Wal
ton, now located in Hagerstown.
