nHnLIP WEAVER is the name of boy who lives
L in Whiteville, N. c. He is 10 years old.
Phillip has an Uncle Lacy who is a Marine. Not
lust an ordinary Marine, but corporal And Phillips
mighty proud of him.
Uncle Lacy's full name is Corporal Lacy M. Brame.
Whenever letter came in from Uncle Lacy, Phillip
would take to school and read it to the other boys.
'I'd sure like to help Uncle Lacy, he'd tell them.
About a year ago Phillips cousin gave him a
brown cocker spaniel and Phillip the happi-
est boy you could find. Phillip called his dog
Shadrach. After a time the name whitfield
down to Shad.
Everybody in Whitevlle knew Phillip and Shad.
You could hardly one without spotting the other
Along came the Fourth War Loan Drive, and the
people in Whiteville began buzzing around with
plans to sell Bonds They'd hold an auction in the
auditorium of the Whiteville High School,
That night the place was packed. While the people
were bidding War Bonds for the right to kiss the pref
test girl in town, little Phillip Weaver came onto the
stage, half carrying half dragging Shad. Il want to
auction off my dog, to help Uncle Lacy" he said.
The Bidding Gees Up
The auctioneer didn't know what to make of it,
and there was whispered consultation But there
wasn't any rule against boy selling his dog so the
bidding began, with Phillip standing there hugging
Shad Now and then Shad would lick Phillips hand,
and Phillip would pat Shad to show him there wasn't
anything to be afraid of.
Soon the bidding went up to 5000. and everybody
thought that was marvellous. But it didn't stop there
1t kept on going up until Josiah Maultsby of White
vile bid $4,000 in War Bonds!
Th;e uns,h he good news for Uncle Lacy.
MIR. Maultsby came to the platform and
Phillip looked up at him.
ssYou'n be good to Shad, WON'T your?
81 will" Mr. Maultsby said. Il think Shad is Just
ahu,t the incest dog in town. And think you are
;,,st about the pluckiest boy IN the state"
Phillip didn't quite understand that. But Mr.
Maultsby was still talking:
1T seems to me you and Shad belong toeetner.
I'm giving Shad back to you. He's your pooch
He WAS And he is! You go down Whiteville way

Scouts Get 30 Tons
OF Paper In Drive

The third Boy Scout sponsored
Paper Collection Drive, held on
Saturday, netted 80 tons of paper
and one ton of rags, making a total
of over 100 tons of paper collected
by the Scouts in the three drives
which they sponsored.
Hagerstown Scouts gathered in Is
tons of paper and the ton of rags,
while County Scouts accounted for
5 tons.
AS usual, there was the finest kind
OF cooperation between the Scouts,
the householders and the business
houses and several large individual
collections were made. One firm
phoned the Scout office to advise
that they had 1000 lbs. ready, while
an official in the County Courthouse
sent word that three boxes of paper,
each weighing about 1000 lbs, were
In the courthouse basement.
An investigation revealed that the
three boxes had been in the base
ment for some years, having been
sent to Hagerstown for distribution
by an organization, but never put
out. A detachment of Scouts went
over and soon rolled the boxes out
on the sidewalk for a truck to pick
up and now that 5000 lbs. of paper
is on its way to do a war job.
Despite the usual paper drive
rain" most Of the bundles were
taken care Of, thanks to the Scouts
who stayed on the job and the many
firms who loaned trucks and drivers.
The next drive will take place on
Saturday, June 3, and for once, let's
hope, the boys will get clear day.

He started by digging a hole two

DURELY
4 Official
By BALLOT BOX


If the recent Maryland primaries
proved anything at all, it was that
results of the fall elections will de-
pend, not on votes controlled by
party bosses and their henchmen,
but by the independent voters of
the Free State of Maryland, who
stayed away from the primary cleo
tions in droves.
As see it, people are getting more
and more fed up with campaigns
that obviously are nothing more
than political faction fights, and by
the same token they are getting just
as fed up with so-called political
bosses who are more concerned
about their control of the party
than they are about the future of
the party.
Later this month we will witness
the sorry spectacle of groups of
hand-picked delegates assembling
in Baltimore, to whoop it up at
Democratic and Republican Con-
ventions, ostensibly to select dele
gates to the two national conven-
tons, who will cast Maryland's
vote for President Roosevelt and
Governor Dewey, but actually to
have good time, since the two del
egations are always picked ahead
of time by these same political
bosses.
l wonder if the day will ever
come when the head of Maryland
political party, be he Republican or
Democratic, will come out before
the voters of Maryland and tell
them that he is fighting, not to keep
control of his party, but to restore
States Rights. That he is fighting
to put an end to the centralizing of
everything in Washington; that he
is fighting to put an end to the need
of Maryland business men having TO
almost beg to be allowed to remain
in business fright now the retail
business men of Hagerstown are be-
ing forced into the most ridiculous
maze of red tape this writer has ev=
er heard of, in order to close their
stores for half a day on Wednes-
days, during June, July and Au-
gust); that he is fighting to put an
end to rationing system that has
been bungled from the day it was
put into effect; and then, after say
ing these things, actually goes ahead
and fights for them?
If that days ever comes, then the
leader that takes such a stand will
become an asset to his county, state
and nation. A man whom the indie
pendent voters will be proud to fol-
low.
Frankly I am tired of so-called
political bosses, who are afraid of
taking a determined stand, for fear
of losing their political status with
the party, or losing little business.
What Hagerstown needs, what
Washington County needs, what
Maryland needs, what the Nation
needs, is men in political power who
have the courage of their convic-
tons. Not men who have plenty to
say in private caucuses, but who
hedge and dodge the issues in pub
lie.
