THEY SAID LAST
WEEK:

Lietenant General Brehon B. So
mervell:
1--WE are fighting for liberty. the
mist expensive luxury known to
man. We fight for the simple
things; for the little things that
are all-important. We fight for the
right to lock our house doors and
be sure that no oully with official
sanction will break the lock. We
fight for town meetings, for tue
soapbox in the public square. for
the high school debating team, for
open doors to cathedral and
church and synagoge.We fight for
schools built on a foundation OF
books, not bayonets. We fight for
the country editor and for the me-
tropolitan daily and for the edi-
tors right to say the wrong thing
if he thinks it's right. We fight
for the right to organize for any
decent purpose; for labor; for
employers for the Grange and the
Legion and the ladies literary
club. and for the lodge meetings
in full regalia on Tuesday nights.
We fight for Our candidate for
sheriff and for the other fellows
candidate, and for the right to be
sorry we elected him and to say
SO. We fight for free radio, for the
right to listen to what we want
and to turn off what we don't
want. We fight for the right to
work at jobs of our own choosing; !;
to read the books we want to read !:
to listen to music that pleaseS
us, without regard to the race or
nationality OF the composer. We
fight for the high privilege OF
throwing pop bottles at the en-
pirc. These rights. these privileges
these traditions are pscc!ouS
enough to 6sht for. precious
enough to die for. They cannot be
acquired by hali-meas""ers or Oil

DURELY
i Official
By BALLOT BOX

With both the Republican. and
Democratic parties ready for what
appears to be the hottest president
ial race of the past several years,
one man-Wendell Willkie = re-
mains strangely silent
I have always been an admirer
of Mr. Willkie, but his present at
titude is hard to understand. He
earned the applause and respect of
men and women all over the ma
ton, when he lived up to his prom
Use to withdraw from the Republi-
can Presidential race if he was de-
feated in the Wisconsin Primary,
but since then he has retired into
his shell, to leave everyone guess
ing as to his future actions-and
they are still guessing.
Mr. Willkie is public figure and,
as such, he has responsibilities
which he has no right to shirk. AS
the Republican nominee in the 1910
Presidential race, he drew a ire
mendous popular vote and ever
since then he has commanded a
large following-both Republicans
and independent Democrats-and
they have right to know where he
stands in this race.
1 don't like to picture Mr.. Willkie
as little boy, sulking in the cor
ner, because he didn't get first bite
at the apple" but what else is one
to think?
Mr.. Wallace, although sold down
the river" by his party, swallowed
his bitter disappointment and came
out in the open for his party and
its candidates. Governor Bricler, an
avowed candidate for the Republi-
can nomination, accepted the vice
presidential nomination because,
while he was naturally disappoint-
ed at not being selected to head the
ticket, he believed that by doing
SO, he could best help to restore his
party to power.
Mr.. Willlzie, however, ever since
his retirement from the race, has
drawn off to the sidelines without
utttering a word.
Election day is less than two
months away and this reporter be-
lieves that it is high time that Mr..
Willkie either come out into the
open in support of the Republican
ticket, or publicly announce that he
has returned to the Democratic
Party, from whence he came.

Considering some of the great
combinations which have followed
Hallett's downbeat in the past, this
is nc small praise. For at one time
the Hallett roster included the
names of Gene Krupa on drums,
Jackson Teagarden on slidetrom-
bone, frankie earle on the piano,
and Jack Jenny on saxophone. And
other Hallett ensembles have caught
the public fancy with wide enthusi-
asm in the past Still, the public
response at such famous centers as
the Hotel Park Central in New York,
Frank Dailey's Terrace Room, in
Newark, and other key spots in the
East, agrees with the opinion of
music experts that Nal has his top
aggregation right now.

Blood Donors May
Now Register Here
1000 Volunteers Needed. Unit
Here Week of September 10.

A mobile unit of the Red Cross
blood donor service will visit Ha-
gerstown for the sixth time during
the week beginning September Is,
it was announced yesterday by Mrs.
Robert McCauley, chairman of the
local blood donor service.
Once again a minimum of 1000
volunteers will be required to fill
this city's five-day quota. With the
need for blood plasma growing al
most hourly more urgent on the ever
widening battlefronts, local workers
are organizing to make sure that Ha-
gerstown once more responds TO the
call as it has on each previous visit
Registration Office.
A registration office for the max
ing of appointments for blood dona-
tons has been opened in the Po-
tomac Edison store at 80 North Po-
tomac street and will be open daily,
C@AOCPL CC1A1cys 1lOl11 LOsOO o. lli' AAiIAl
500 p. m. and volunteers may make
their appointments by stopping in or
by phoning 2191.
Painless, Harmless.
Any healthy individual between
the ages of 81 and go may act as a
blood donor. The business of acting
as a blood donor requires only about
one hour including examination,
rest, and refreshment periods, as
we'll as approximately ten minutes
for the actual giving of blood. It is
entirely harmless and painless.
Many repeat donors are expect
ed to give again, for Hagerstown al
ready boasts large group of volun-
teers who have donated on every
occasion the mobile unit has been
here.
