Fairchild Plant
Needs New Workers

Production of large quantity of
huge new cargo-carrying airplanes
for the Army Air Forces has just
begun here in a modern new plant
specially constructed for the pur-
pose. Officials of the Fairchild Air
craft Division, designers and man
ufacturers of the unique flying
freighters, stated today that they
have an immediate need for "sev-
eral hundred unskilled workers to
perform detail work on sheet metal
parts.
According to Paul Fitez, employ
ment manager of the Fairchild COM
pany, all former employees who
were furloughed temporarily at the
time the Fairchild contracts for pri-
mary training planes were termina-
ted have been recalled to resume
work. Said Fitez, eve have an
immediate need for unskilled work
ers who will be trained specially
for the new jobs at standard trainee
rates. In the months ahead we will
steadily increase our working force
by several more hundred men and
women each month. Most of the
unskilled jobs which are open now
are for sheet metal workers, but we
will also hire skilled tool inspectors,
designers and layout men as well
as craftsmen and machinists."
Fairchild officials expressed the
hope that their new cargo airplane
would see widespread use in the
future ear of peacetime aviation
expansion as it is capable of carry
ing extremely heavy loads over
great distances nonstop.

The Washington Area Council of
the Boy Scouts of America an
nounced today that new Scout Ex-
ecutive has been obtained to replace
Myril Hall who recently entered the
United States Navy. The new execu-
i've is Mr. Bernard J. Hagedorn, who
will come to Hagerstown, Council
headquarters, to take up his new
duties on September 49,
Mr.. Hagedorn brings to his new
post wealth of experience in Scout
ing and a splendid record which
should prove extremely valuable.
He has been interested in Scout work
from boyhood, having acted as Scout
Master and Scout Commissioner on
Staten Island before becoming an
Executive.
Mr.. Hagedorn's first experience as
a Scout Executive was in Orlando,
Florida, in 1886 and 1887. From
there he made long jump to Rome,
New York, where he was Assistant
Executive from 1887 to 1941. In
1941 he went to Harrisburg, Pa, as
one of three Assistant Executives for
that Council. During his three
years on that job Mr.. Hagedorn
turned in an outstanding piece OF
work, building Scouting in the area
for which he was responsible to 9
point comparing very closely in
membership and activities with the
Washington Area Council, where he
will soon take over. That experience
Should prove particularly beneficial
because the type of territory in
which he last worked is very similar
to that he is about to enter.
The new executive is married and
the father of two children. He ano
his family will make their home in
Hagerstown in the near future.
Mr.. Hagedorn has been a partici-
pant in both church and community
projects wherever he has been 10.
Gated and the local Council feels that
they have found, not only an excel
lent Scout Executive, but man who
will prove real asset to the com
munity as well

swere on peaceful mission in our
nations capital.
And so l add my salutation; us
ing the words of Senator Tydings
and his charming wife: Go Get 'em
Antietam."
Perhaps one man at the ceremo-
MES, more than anyone else, had
tremendous feeling of pride and
satisfaction as the Antietam became
reality, and that man was Park
T. 10y, president of the Wash
ington County Historical Society.
From the day that the society de-
cided to get behind the naming of
an aircraft carrier for the Battle of
Antietam, until the christening cere-
monies on Sunday, Mr.. 10y worked
like a trojan to put the project
across and he, together with Mrs.
Mish and the membership of the
society, deserve the heartiest com
mendation from their fellow coun-
tians for their untiring efforts.
The following was the invited
delegation from Washington Coun-.
ty:
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank w. Mish, Jr.,

II was mailing letter and
didn't have chance to find the
soldiers name. The shore pa
trolmen were beating him too
fast.
1.-THE soldier hadn't done any
thing because / walked up when
the naval patrol officer started
talking to him. The little black
soldier was sanding in the line
holdin ghis luggage in he midst
of a dense crowd.
THE shore patrolmen, two of
them, walked up to him and said
something. He answered. They
apparently did not like his ans
wer. In a matter Of seconds they
had jumped on him. She short,
stocky ,dark-haired shore patrol
men was the aggressor.
"The soldier tried to hold back
the shore patrolman's arm, the
one holding the wooden club.
Then the second shore patrolman
struck him. The black soldier
did his best to protect himself.
When they finished with him
