IN Chicago last week. the Demo,

hum-drum session to accept the
resignation of Ed Flynn as Nation.
al Chairman and elect Postmas-
ter General Walker as his success
sor. Nothing else was expected to
happen.
But thanks from gentleman
from Maryland, the meeting was
electrified out of its sloth. That
gentleman was Eugene Casey of
Gaithersburg, and the story about
him was told so vividly by Thomas
l.. Stokes, ace Scripps Howard
commentator, that his column is
reproduced herewith by permission.
"Casey Goes To Bat for New Deal
Chicago A fellow named
Casey went to bat before the Ma
tional Democratic Committee meet
ing here.
He didn't strike out.
HE knocked a home run, clear
over the dripping chandelier of
what is called the Red Lacquer
Room
'He brought to their feet, like
raving bleacheries, the heretofore
placid ladies and gentlemen of the
committee, who had been sitting
demurely like so many Republicans.
He released their long-suppressed
indignation at the bureaucrats in
Washington. He led them to pro-
test that the attack on the erst-
while Boss of the Bronx, now nom
mated as Minister to Australia,
was in reality an attack on the
President and the Democratic
Party by scheming Republicans
and anti-New Deal Democrats and
the wicked press.
And it was all in the nature of
an accident.

one Of those half-dozen 'anony-
nous executive assistants of
President Roosevelt. He was in
Chicago 'on his way to St. Louis
to make a speech He dropped
into the Red Lacquer Room of the
Palmer House, where the commit
tee had assembled. He was not
member of this ball club. He
was not a member of the commit
tee, and did not even carry a proxy
of the Virgin Islands, or Puerto
or Alaska, Or the Philippines.
'In short. he had no business at
the meeting.
HE did have the grace to take
a seat over at the side, unobstrus-
lively.
Then, suddenly, he was the
man of the hour-this slender gen
tleman with the New Deal gleam
and the close-cropped gray hair
who first popped up prominently
about Washington when, in the
role of Maryland farmer, he joined
in the unsuccessful Roosevelt at

be called Farmer Casey. He lift

This all started, before the

Food continues to be the second
most popular scubject of discus
sion on the Home Front. Next to
the war our "vittles" use up more
conversation than any other topic.
This is naturally so because
whether you eat to live or live to
eat, sustenance is something that
interests all ages, both sexes, all
races, in fact every living thing
Men may live without tires and
gasoline and bicycles and a long
list of other presently scarce com
modities but let word spread of a
food scarcity and shivers begin
running up lot of peoples spines.
So this seems like the logical
time for survey of the food situa-
ton.
Americans have been assured
they will not go hungry. This as
surance has come from men who
know the situation. You may rest
assured, then that we will be ade-
quately fed.
The best assurance comes from
the fact that America, blessed
with fertile acres, intelligent farm
ers and the most scientifically ad-
vanced system of agriculture, has
managed to raise each year far
more food than Americans require.

Der OF midweStern Democrats who
cried to high heaven about bureau
cracy.
They were very mysterious.
They weren't intending to raise any
more hell, they said. But just be-
fore Chairman Flynn called the
meeting to order, Mr.. Quigley was
seen leaning heavily on piano,
his diversified bottom facing the as
sembling members, while he wrote
down on a piece of tablet paper.
Nothing happened right away.
The meeting proceeded with the
election of Postmaster General
Frank c. Walker as the new chair
man, the adoption of resolutions,
including a mild one commencing
Mr.. Flynn for his services and
wishing him success in his minis
terial post, and SO on.
"Friend of Forgotten Man.
Then, as lunch hour drew near
and members began to stir restless
ly, Mr.. Quigley did his stuff. He
presented resolution praising
Mr.. Casey as one man in Washing
ton who has fought the evils of
bureaucracy and constantly bat
tied for the forgotten man-the
latter. of course, meaning the poll
ticians in the hinterland.
'"To understand Mr.. Quigley's
motion you must know TINT Mr..
Casey remains anonymous only in
Washington.
He is travelling man. He has
left his calling cards on folks like
Mr.. Quigley and other politicians
in the Middle West, listened to
their troubles, echoing their com
plants about bureaucrats, nodding
sympathetically, assuming that
hurt look. (After ALL he owns n

USO PLANNING TO
ASSIST IN DANCES
HELD HERE WEEKLY
"Jute Box" At Hagers-
town Y To Be Replaced
By Orchestra

The old, reliable "jute box"
which, for months, has furnished
music for the service mems dances
at the Hagerstown "Y", is on the
way out, and thanks to the U. s. O..
will be replaced by an orchestra.
Last June, when members of the
Business and Professional Women's
Club of Hagerstown decided to do
something to entertain the soldiers
from nearby camps, one of the
members came up with the sugges-
ton that Saturday night dances be
held at the Y. The proposal met
with immediate favor, and with the
help Of other interested persons,
an organization known as the
Service Mems Benefit was formed.
Donations were received, a local
business firm loaned the "jute box,
another patriotic citizen came thru
with loud speaker system, and
stores and manufacturers furnished
door prizes. Various fraternal,
church and civic organizations of
fered to furnish refreshments dur
ing the dances and the program
got under way, with the first dances
attracting comparatively small
crowds. Since that time, however,
the attendance has increased con-
siderably and the dances now are
conceded to be the outstanding
event in Hagerstown for the serv-
ice men.
Recently, the USO offered to as
sist financially in the program and
at a subsequent meeting a budget
was presented the USO officials.
This budget includes the cost of an
orchestra each week and door
prizes, and, according to all re-
ports, it will be approved by the
USO headquarters in New York.
The USO has been doing splen-,
did work here for the service men,
and have recently employed a sec
retary for the headquarters in the
Y. M. c. A. Hundreds of service
mne are given sleeping quarters at
the Y each week, and the facilities
there have been offered all the

We may not get as much as we
would like to purchase, but as with
coffee and sugar again, it will be
surprising how well we will be
satisfied with our rations.
Housewives, who have accumu-
lated boards, will be restricted in
their purchases until these boards
return to normal reserves.
At this time, canned foods, dried
fruits, meats and various fats and
several dairy products are schedul-
ed to be ratiohed

ON THE HOME FRONT

We have been the most wasteful
nation on earth in the matter of
food for this very reason. We have
had the fullest garbage pails-as
we'll as the fullest dinner pals in
the world because food has been
so plentiful. Food here will con-
tinue to be plentiful, but the gar
bage pail will suffer
Because we are now becoming
food thrifty, we will have an ade-
quate diet for ourselves and a con-
siderable surplus to keep Ameri-
can armed forces and those of our
allies we'll fed also.

HITLER JITTERS

The meeting of Roosevelt and
Churchill in North Africa will put
Goebbels to the supreme test, and
his propaganda regarding that trip
will, from here on out, make in
teresting reading. A year ago,
Hitler would have told the German
people that it would be foolish to
even think of the President of the
United Stntes spending ten days
in Africa. Today he's probably
screaming: Everything happens

Recently, these WiIIiamsport-
ers came through with another
"first"-and when say first"
that goes for the entire nation.
This particular "first" is in the
little newspaper, appropriately
named the "Dug-Out" and which
is mailed to all the service men
from WiIIiamsport and vicinity.
Il carries news of the old home
town, letters from the boys and
the gang who, before Pearl Har-
Dor, Ioafed on the corner, and
believe me, brother, that little
sheet is really clicking. Public
spirited citizens underwrite the
project.
The Hagerstown globe., 1943-01-29

This idea is so original that
others are springing up all over
the country. Only few weeks
ago, Hngerstown busted forth
with similar organization,
which again proves the boys and
gals over there have really start
ed something worthwhile.
The Hagerstown globe., 1943-01-29

What | like about the Dug
Out" is that all WiIlamsport is
interested in it's publication. On
publication day, the folks there
abouts demand copies, at ten
cents a throw-or else! The en-
tire issue is "a selI-out in pa
hours or less. Everybody is
contributor and nobody gets all
the credit for the finished pro-
duct. It's anything but a one
man show, which makes it tops
with me. They want it to be
known as the towns newspaper,
printed especially for their boys
and when anyone asks who pub
fishes it, the answer is invariab-
Iy: "We WI amsporters.'

HANGOVERS
BY
LITTLE HEISkELL

History tells us that Williams
port, Md, was at one time SER
iously considered as a site for the
nations Capital, but the idea was
thrown overheard when it was
found that the Old Potomac was
much too shallow. History also
tells us that way back when
this plan was under considera-
ton, George Washington made
several trips to the town on sur
veying tours, etc. In otherwords,
Hagerstown just missed being a
suburb of WiIIiamsport.
The Hagerstown globe., 1943-01-29

But even though WiIliamsport
threw "snake eyes" and lost in
that contest, our neiehboring
town is still in there pitching
"oriqinais". 1t has had Con-
eressman, and followed that up
with Maryland's First Congress-
woman; it also boasts a major
league baseball pitcher, couple
of Generals; modern municipal
buildings, not to mention first
class floods and top-flight fisher
men.

The "Dug-Out" is morale
builder of the highest type. May
be when the totals are added up
after the war, our neighborng
town won't lead the country in
