HORSE AND BUGGY
DAYS
By the Ola Lamp Lighter
By the Ola Lamp Lighter

The writer has had pleasant, per
sonal contact with one of Washing
ton County's most prominent sons
Major General Russell P. Hartle,
now in command Of the armed for
ces in England and Ireland.
Both General Hartle and the
writer claim the same little ham,
let Chewsville as their birthplace.
where they both spent the early
days of their lives-but General
Hartle a genera ton or so further
on!
| remember him as rather re-
served and backward little codger,
and he always wore a big smile,
characteristic of the Hartle family.
He performed his chores we'll as
boy and that inherent quality he
has maintained through the years
and which he is applying today on
a much greater scale.
General Hartles home, as a boy,
was the old Nicholas Beard farm,
at the eastern edge of Chewsville;
Nicholas Beard was the writer's
grandfather.
Some years ago, my wife and
l were visiting my old home, about
a half mile distant from the Har-
tie home, and he volunteered to
bring us to Hagerstown with him.
We readily accepted and we never
saw a more polite and congenial
companion. 1t is not hard to see
how he rose to so high position
and with such rank of distinction
as he now enjoys.

A similar attempt Ia exploit the

WAGE Garner
SAYS WHITES
CAUSE TENSION
Predicts Violence Unless
Detroit Race War
Is Curbed

The Wage Garner" official pub
iication OF the Association OF Cath
Ollie Trade Unionists. called upon
Detroit in its June II issue TO recog-
nize "the ugly truth that there is
q growing. subterranean race war
going on in the city OF Detroit which
can have no other ultimate result
than an explosion OF violence. I'M
less something Is done to stop IT,"
In placing the blame for racial
strikes and racial tension. the Wage
Garner says. quote:
The question then arises: What
can be done?
I'm the opinion OF THE WAGE
GARNER. the burden rests pri-
marily upon the white race. II Is
the whites who have caused this
potential trouble, by q totally un-
realistic. unscientific, and I'M
Christian attitude toward the color
OF a persons skin.
There 10 only one solution and
that Is for every white citizen OF
influence in Detroit 10 raise his
voice NOW-before il is too late
In favor OF complete equality for
the Negro. bubbles about social
equality versus economic equal
ity' will get us nowhere. Whatever
a man is entitled to as a man and
as q citizen. he is entitled to without
respect to the color Of his skin.
"Quibbling. oueasling and fence
straddling on this issue will result
IN nothing but an explosion. Pru-
dence carried to an extreme be-
comes . vice. Coddling the preju-
dices OF either race serves only to
strengthen those prejudices.
I'VE must positively make up our
minds that the color OF a persons
skin is an accidental circumstance
TO be totally disresarded and
ignored"

Decker Sees
Action In
Tropics
/

Another Lincoln county man is
in the thick of fighting in the tropi-
cal country of the South Seas. He
is Harold M. Decker, who writes an
interesting letter to this newspaper.
Among other things, he says:
To make this letter a little more
on the. friendly side I'll give you
some of my activities since I've
been in service. I am in the Sea-
bees and | like it all right. Ous
outfit has been l3 months overseas
and expect it will be quite some
time before we see the states again
However this isn't the healthiesl
place in the world and we might
possibly get a leave for a much
needed rest.
We are in the South Seas and
right in the spearhead of things
Our work has done plenty in ac-
complishing what is needed down
here. 1t is pretty tough but we've
withstood everything that has come
our way and hope to continue doing
sol Most of the morale is held
up just by our accomplishments
alone. That means a lot in any out
fit.
The work is hard and the sun is
hot SO that is the conditions we
have. Our entertainment consists OF
reading and swimming. We do have
an electric monograph in the mes.
halls Radios are barred and tina
makes the only music we get. TIT
food we get is solid but 1t gets tire
some. We have small ships service
store and that helps. However, we
are rationed on d lot OF stores Even
have ration cards, SO you civilians
haven't anything on us.
Our water supply is also ra-
toned. Water for drinking anc
shaving is the limit of its uses. We
do have nice beach SO the washing
of clothing and bathing is done
there. Sharks and an octopus keeps
us from venturing too far
There is a tribe Of natives living
near by and they are friendly poo
pie. We trade them lava-lava
(clothes) and other things for some
of their handmade products. They
get big kick out Of our heavy
equipment working. First time
they have ever seen any motored
vehicles.
/ must close now for the morrow
comes early. My address is at the
top of this page. II it changes at any
time | will let you know.
Sincerely yours,
HAROLD M. DECKER.

Urged To MoiI
Christmas Gifts
During November

A circular from the postoffice
department urges that Christmas
packages and cards be mailed in
November. There can be no assur-
ance, in view Of the handicaps of
war, that gifts and cards mailed
just before Christmas will be de-
livered in time. Such matter cannot
be allowed to impede the move
ment of war materials.
The number of railway cars and
airplanes available for mail is far
below that of former years. Facili-
ties are not available to transport
in three weeks before Christmas
the huge quantities of Christmas
mail
inexperienced help have replaced
$4,000 postal employees who have
gone into war services. In former
years over 200,0 900 extra help was
called in for the Christmas rush.
Many of those are not now avail
able. Their places must be taken
by unframed workers. This year
women and high school boys and
girls will be called on, but they
cannot work long hours.
The only alternative is to spread
the mailings over a longer period
of time. When these conditions are
realized, it becomes plainly evident
why the public is urged to mail
Christmas packages and cards dur
ing November
