A REGRETTABLE
INCIDENT

The decision of the Washington
County Salvage Committee to ex-
clude the Boy Scouts from the city
wide waste paper collection, held
on Tuesday, was regrettabIe, to say
the least.
For several months, various local
and County Scout Troops have been
collecting waste paper on Satur-
days, using the cars of their Scout
masters and Troop Committee mem
bers for the work, and setting aside
the money earned for special Sum-
mer Troop activities, such as camp
ing.
In view of this, the decision of the
Salvage Committee to put on city
wide collection ~ using commercial
trucks, whose owner will be paid
from the sale of the paper collected
and to decline the prOffered help
of the Scouts, suggests rather
strongly to us that the Salvage
Committee felt that the Scouts
couldn't be relied upon to do the
job.
Throughout this nation of ours
(that is everywhere outside of Ha-
gerstOwn) Boy Scouts, under the di-
rectiOn of their leaders leaders
who not only volunteer their SER
vices to Scouting, but gladly pay a
small annual registration fee for the
privilege of being associated with
this great youth movement--are the
central figures in waste paper drives
now being conducted by the various
Salvage committees.
All over the country land that in
cludes HagerstOwn aIso) Scouts are
delivering War Bond posters and
circulars; acting as air raid messen-
gers; lending hand in putting out
information on recruiting, and glad
ly doing any other job that the va
riOus agencies call upon them to do
and we don't believe anyone will
deny that they are doing swell job.
Vet the local Salvage Committee
fatty turned down the preferred
ile1Y Of the sc5uts III the waste pa.-s
per collection, despite the fact that
the Scouts, through the cooperation
of local organizations, were ready
to provide all the collection trucks
necessary, free of any cost to the
Salvage Committee.
This apparent slap in the face by
the Salvage Committee, will not,
we are sure, prevent the Scouts and
their leaders from continuing to do
their Good Turns" along civic
lines, whenever their services are
required, but it cannot help but
leave nasty taste in their mouths.
Perhaps the Washington County
Salvage Committee would like to
explain why they refused the prof
fered help of the Scouts. If SO, the
columns of this paper are open to
them at any time.
Or perhaps the Washington Coun-
ty Salvage Committee has just for
gotten that when, over a year ago,
they put on a scrap metal drive, it
was these same Boy Scouts, whose
help they spurn now, that did the
spade work for that drive, by going
round from door to door, putting
cards on dOOrknobs that explained
what the drive was all about, and
followed this up by doing real job
in helping collect the scrap metal
as well.

was very still. Slowly she raised her he.u,
and in the yellow glare of the dressing table
she saw herself - starkly - for what she
was: a woman who showed all of her thirty
odd years.
But why shouldn't 1? She thought in sud-
den bitterness Didn't early struggles always
leave their imprint? They'd had their share.
It had taken years to pull up from the failure
of Jim's company; only the baby's coming
had compensated for that - small CHINA,
five now, and 50 much like Jim.
Looking critically at her face in the mir
ror, she was acutely aware that her fresh
ness was gone There were telltale lines
around her mouth, shadowy wanness
around her eyes. Even her clothes - her
snugly- -girdled figure strained the soft drape
of her dress; her gloves we're too new; her
hat in its mass of flowers mocked the illusion
she had tried so desperately to achieve.
Suddenly she felt odd and alone.
The dinner crowd was drifting out into
the cool black night. The foyer was deserted
now, and Antoine's, relaxed, awaited the
coming theater influx. There was something
comforting in the quiet, and Joan, coming
out of the powder room, felt its soothing
touch.
A COIN clanked heavily in the phone
booth by the bar, and through its half closed
door she heard deep resonant voice. Joan
Strengthened. Odd that Jim should make a
CALL
She listened idly, but his voice was lost
as a police siren screamed by down the
street; and then it was there again - his
words now clear, distinct: Wonderful to
hear you, darling. can't wait to see
you >. just as soon as l can. :"
Joan's breath stifed within her. With an
effort she tried to move, but the room swan
in waves before her eyes, Her mind pounded
in torment - settled in crystalline calm.
This was it - this was it. What was it Jim
had said? There's little gal at the
Post Oh jim, how could YOU.
Now his voice returned, muff1ed with
emotion. ''Of course, darling, but of course
we will - we'll have that day together.
That's a promise - you can depend on
that . Well, maybe because love you. -.
All right, sweet. Now be good little girl
and 90 to bed, and Daddy and Mamma will
come home and tuck you in.
The receiver clicked down, the door swung
wide, and the tall man in uniform came
toward Joan, his face glowing.
Now the evenings complete" he said.
Come on, dearest; let's 60 home. can't
wait to see our baby" The End

4, Its hard to catch up," jim paused once
in puzzled contemplation.
II know" She said, and watching him,
felt it too - an odd difhdence. It was like
reconciliation after prolonged quarrel -
an awkwardness of readjustment.
They ate in a kind of tentative silence.

Germ. is everything quite satisfactory"
''Is-it, darling?" Jims eyes probed into
hers, anxious, searching
She nodded, acutely aware of the grave
new formality of the man across from her.
There was a strange abstraction about him,
as though his life held no inclusion of her
beyond the obligation of the moment. In
sudden panic she made an attempt at gay
conversation Once she had been able to
leave him alone in his silences, when they
had lived together in complete understand
ing; now talk was necessity.
II suppose this hat seems completely
crazy to sane and serious Army man."
Her smile was gaily bantering.
He grinned in quizzical amusement mot
half as crazy as some of the hats the gals
are wearing now. " Sudden enthusiasm
Illuminated his face There's little gal at
the Post. She's young and fresh and
lovely. -
The meringue glace fell in thin melted
stream from Joan's spoon. Her heart raced
in sudden strange anxiety. What was it
Carolyn had said after her visit to the Post?
We've got to watch out for our own inter-
ests these days; there's plenty of competi-
ton. " Joan dug her spoon into the glass.
She didn't like herself. Now she was react
ing like jealous wife, and that was one
issue she had always avoided in her mar
riage. But once she had known what Jim
had done with his leisure time.
DINNER was over There was small brown
coffee stain on the cloth, and the gardenias
we're whiting. Jim smiled at her across the
table. His hand fingered on her arm as he
picked up the check, and his very nearness
- the aching loneliness she had gone
through all those months caught in tight
little lump in her throat. He was all OF her
world, and how could she reach him?
"I1l meet you outside" she said. Her
smile was flag bright as she gathered up
her things.
In the powder room she sank down on
the small chintz bench, unaccountably
tired, the anticipation of long weeks sagging
her with sudden WEAKNESS. The airless room
