Women at work

I think that all of us are aware of the part that the women are play ing in industry in these busy days. When the figures are revealed, most of us are quite astounded to learn that there are 7,200, ,000 more women employed in the United States this year than four years ago-in 1940. In 1940 there were 10,S00, ,000 working women, and in 1914 that figure jumped to IS ,000,- GOO. One might almost be pardoned for paraphrasing an old saw, Its the woman who pays" to-"It's the woman who gets paid"
 Of course, this big increase in the employment of women is largely the result of about 10 1000, ,000 men changing their civilian clothes to army and navy uniforms. And these women are doing a swell job. just as they are nobly backing up the war effort in the countries of our Allies.
 And, while we are on this subject there are some other interesting figures. The Chairman of the Re- publican National Committee was recently quoted as saying, 'Ameri- can women cast 45 % of the 1922 vote, and indications are they will be on a 50-50 basis with men in votes cast in 1944.'' And why not? They labored for many years to get the right to vote; they are doing mans work now, many of them, and dare say they are more con- scious than ever, today, of the re- sponsihlity that accompanies the right of franchise.
 think, when time has healed the wounds of heart and flesh, America will be better off for having had it's women step out Of the home into other fields, during a temporary emergency period, to gain realistic perspective of what has always been considered a mans world. Let's hope that it won't be long be- fore the job at hand Is finished so that these emergency-p period women-workers can again begin to practice their main line-home- making.
 And, we, in industry, must see to it that our boys, who return from the war, will be able to provide ample means to maintain the homes to which they return, with out the necessity of their women folk assisting in providing the necessities of life. Men Ddnt their wonien in the home they're so nice to come home to.

Scouts Collect
Is Tons of Paper

Before shutdown on Saturday
night, twenty-eight tons of badly
needed paper were on their way to
the mills, to be made over into car
tons in which vital war supplies are
packed. Twenty-eight tons of pa
per, collected by the Boy Scouts of
Hagerstown and Washington Coun-
ty. Scouts in Hagerstown and en-
virons accounted for 2212 tons, with
Hancock turning in 2lz tons. and
Williamsport tons.
Splendid cooperation by house
wives and business firms, and hard
work on the part of the $50 Scouts
and their leaders, was again re-
sponsible for the success of the
drive, aided materially by the many
firms that loaned trucks for the day.
On March 4, the Scouts collected
80 tons of paper; one week later,
March II, the Junior Police Club
collected II tons for their special
matinee; so that, with the % tons
collected Saturday, a grand total Of
70 tons of paper has been converted
into vital war material in the past
two months. Truly an enviable
record and one which the boys can
be justly proud Of
This pioneer work by the Boy
Scouts, under the able direction OF
Myril S. Hall, Scout Executive, and
Robert Shircliff, District Commits
sioner, has unquestionably made the
citize of Washington County
paper conscious" and from now on
little or no paper will be burned OF
thrown away in this community.

Sergeant Still
Operates Trains

Headquarters, European Theater
of Operations-War or no war, Ser
geant Andrew J. Highbarger, of Ha-
gerstown, Maryland, goes on operat-
ing railroad trains. With q years
of railroad experience, including
service in the first World War, be-
hind him, Sergeant Highbarger is
still in that line, currently handling
War Department engine at a large
United States Army general depot
in England.
Husband of Mrs. Audrey High
barger, SIG Reynolds Avenue, the
Army locomotive engineer hasn't
been away from the tracks and
trains since the age of 10 when he
started his career as a machinists
apprentice with the Santa Fe Rail
road Company.
He was promoted to fireman on
the same line before entering tie
Army of World War I in June, 1917.
As a member of the 18th Railway
Engineers, Highbarger fired on
trains which were used to transport
equipment and supplies to the front
lines, often under fire from enemy
artillery
Following his discharge from the
Army in 1919, Highbarger went
right back TO the civilian railroads.
He worked, in succession, for the
Rock Island lines, and the Pennsyl-
vania Railway System, first on the
Western Maryland Branch of the
P R., and then on its Pittsburgh,
West Virginia, branch He was in
the service of the latter line when
the Army called him again on De-
cember Is, 1912.
He was Immediately assigned to a
railway operating battalion, and, at
the present time, is shunting cars
around at the general depot in the
midlands of England

Hailed by music fans from coast
to coast as one of the most popular
bands in the country today, Les
Brown and his orchestra will be at
Franklin Court Auditorium on
Thursday, April Is, dancing nine till
one, demonstrating the style OF
music which has won for them the
hearty acclaim of press and public
both civilian and otherwise
During their highly successful
stays at the Hotel Sherman and the
Blackhawk Cafe in Chicago, The
Palladium in Los Angeles, the Hotel
Aston Roof in New York City-and
other outstanding spots, the Les
Brown crew was gifted with loads OF
air time on all the major networks
carrying this splendid music fron,
coast to coast. They used this all
time to such good advantage that
they were recently voted one of the
top ten bands in RADIO DAILYS
countrywide poll of radio editors
and were also featured in RKO'S
Seven Days Leave" with Victor
Mature and Lucille Ball.
Browns Okeh recordings have
long been a must" in the nations
music shops and in the 100000 auto
matte monographs that dot the
country-proving that his popular
ity is based upon the enthusiasm OF
the boys and girls who make the
bands, rather than any high-pres-
sure publicity campaigns.
A hit in theatres too, with fine
engagements at the New York Para
mount and the Strand, the Chicago
Theatre, the Earle in Philadelphia
Palace in Cleveland, and many 9TH
ers, Brown brings with him tc
Franklin Court an imposing roster
of talented stars which includes
beautiful Doris Day and Butch
Stone.

HITLER OR TOTO FIRST?
By MILTON SCOTT

read a single statement by Karl,
which is out and out American or a
single sentence which is out and out
against our most powerful and most
.resourceful foe-Germany. ~ .Iasg
If Germany should have 9been
victorious, with Hitler and l1isgGang
still in power, none of Them could
ever have pointed a finger at Karl
Won Wiegand and accused him zof
h aving written anything detrig
mental to Germany's cause. .sq ,z1i4
It is my personal belief and the
belief and opinion of thousands of
true and loyal Americans, that Won
Wiegand's articles comments
are neither fish nor fowl You 2ean
toss them either way for perfect
fit into the opposite pattern Very
clever journalism indeed, but not
clever enough to deceive any level
headed loyal American. What a
difference between Walter Winchell
and Karl Won Wiegandl There is
no question as to where Winchell
stands or fallsl There is great
doubt in many peoples minds, as to
where Wiegand stands. Isn't it
time to choose sides? Isn't it time
to stop sowing seeds of doubt ard
suspicion? Isn't it time to stop
throwing monkey wrenches into the
machinery of Allied war-strategy,
war-efforts and war-aims?
Hitler or TOTO first? What a
ridiculous question to bring up now,
when we have Hitler reeling, dizzy,
retreating to his own corner! Keep
the Jap at bay, of course, but keep
relentlessly after Hitler for the
chance of that final Knockout blow
To suggest anything else at this
critical moment is little short OF
treachery against our Armed Forces
Against America!

Nothing would suit Hitler better
than diversion of our main war
effort from the European to the Pa
eific theater of war.
Karl H. Won Wiegand, the self
proclaimed Dean of American War
Correspondents" in the New York
Journal American" of Sunday,
March 26, 1914, states: There is
growing demand for a change to
TJapan first" Nothing would suit
Hitler better now and nothing
would have suited him better at the
time of the Jap sneak-attack upon
Pearl Harbor on December z, l941.
In fact, it requires no crystal gazer' S
diVining power to guess that the
Pearl Harbor attack was undertaken
with the full knowledge and bless
ing of Granddaughter and for the
express purpose of splitting our war
effort into two widely separated ac-
tivities, in order to relieve pressure
on the European battle fields.
But, if a Japan First" move is
admittedly move welcome by Hit
Ter, it is, by the same token, a move
against the best interests of the Al
lied war effort Anything good for
Hitler is bad for the Allied cause,
bad for America.
Karl H. Won Wiegand (notice the
completely German spellingD fur
Their says: There are beginning to
be heard expressions of Impotence
and disappointment with the Europe
first strategy"
This writer cannot help but Won
der as to how much of this statement
is fact and how much is wishful
thinking? AS one who has followed
and read Wiegand's articles for
many years, admittedly with ar
ever growing suspicion as to their
true motives, I have yet to see OF

Mills Withdraws
From Senate Race

Herman L. Mills, well known and
highly esteemed local merchant, last
Saturday announced his withdrawal
from the Republican Primary con-
test for United States Senator.
Mr. Mills, who entered the race
on the clear-cut issue that the peo-
pie were tired of the bureaucratic
form of government of the present
administration, withdrew from the
race in the interest of party har-
mony and, by his action, has given
very definite proof that his sole pur-
pose is to get behind his party in the
interests of better government.
