THE opposite of a collectivist
democracy is individualistic
democracy or government
where the individual and his
rights are the unit of value and
the state, at least theoretically,
is merely at best a necessary
evil. Such is the political philos-
ophy of England and the United
States and was that of pre-war
France.
So the word democracy no
longer means anything without
a qualifying word. Let US see
that this country remains an in
dividualistic democracy.

horrors we experienced with

hospitals are most heartening.
Meningitis now yields 10 the

tropical medicine.
TODAY certain faculty men,

in tropical medicine and have
returned TO give courses 10 the

is the worst problem; even
though quinine and atabrine can
halt most of the immediate
symptoms, IL is still a tough
customer and digs into the body

now well controlled by preven-

old Hagerstown Bank. II occupied
a position for a number of years
just inside the iron fence which en-
closed a yard in front Of the bank.
When the bank building was torn

Montgomery Ward building, IL was
taken TO its present location, The
stone, as it appears today, is not in
the same position IL was when it
was used for the auctioneer in sell
ing men, women and children (col-
ored slaves), but is placed at such
an angle as to enable the inscription
to be easily read.
Casting their shadows over this
historic object, are old trees of UNI
determined age Just how old they
are is not known but they have
stood on the grounds very many
years The age of one of the trees
is placed at possibly 200 years. II
is possible, at least, that they were
saplings when Hagerstown was laid
out by Jonathan Hager in 1862 and
were trees of some growth when
George Washington visited Hagers-
town in 1899. Any way, il is plain
that they have considerable antiqui-
ty attached to them. There is some
thing majestic about any tree and
especially an old tree, around which
it is interesting to wrap some his
tory.
Governor William 7. Hamilton
was president of the old Hagers-

fore stated, was located the historic
marker, the primary subject of this

If we are inclined to grumble
about any inconvenience in travel
these days, we should just let our
minds revert to early days.
History tells us that in 1903
George Crissinger and a man from
Frederick county established line
of stage coaches from Hagerstown
to Baltimore. Stages left Jonathan
Hager's tavern, at the Sign of the
Ship" near the Court House, every
Tuesday and Saturday at 10 a. m,
arriving at Frederick on the even
ing of the same day and at Balti-
more the next afternoon at 6. Re-
turning the stage left Baltimore on
Tuesday and Saturday, arriving
here the next evening. The fare
was So to Frederick and from Fred
erick to Baltimore, $3.50. Chris
singer announced that he would, if
necessary, run an additional stage
on Thursday and Saturday each
week, Hagerstown to Baltimore and
return. In 1905 this same Girls
singer and Joseph Boyd said they
had commenced running line OF
mail coaches from Frederick via
Middletown, Boonsboro, Hagerstown
and Greencastle to Chambersburg,
twice every week.
