Civic Music Assn
Membership Drive

The Hagerstown Civic Music AS
sociation's annual Membership
Campaign will get under way on
Monday evening, April %, with a
workers banquet, to be held at $50
o'clock at the Hotel Alexander. j.
r. Craft, president of the associa-
ton, will preside.
The association, which is nom
profit community project, has just
completed remarkably successful
season, its 1856 members enjoying
the artistry Of: Jan Peerce, Tenor;
Christine Johnson, Contralto, who
is now playing the leading role in
Molner's 'Lilion," Broadway's lat
est musical hit; Ruth Possett, Vio-
linist; the Trappe Family; Artur
Rubenstein, pianist, and the Salzedo
Ensemble.
From present indications, the
1945-46 season will be even a great
er success, with the strong posi-
bility that instead of the campaign
committee having to solicit mem
berships, Hagerstown and Washing
ton County lovers of good music
will be soliciting the committee for
membership tickets, which will
again be offered at five dollars for
the season, plus one dollar, Federal
tax.
Other officers of the association
are: Mrs. Brestle Rupert, secretary,
and M. P. Moller, ,Jr., treasurer.

A story in the daily papers tells
of survey made by some large in
duStry, looking to postwar expan-
sion, that resulted in Hagerstown
coming out with top rating, but
the name of the industry remains a
dark and mysterious secret.
Another story in the daily papers
tells of survey now being made
by the local War Manpower Com
nilsson, to determine the postwar
employment plans of local war in
dustries. 1t is my understanding
that such survey has already been
made, under the auspices of the
postwar planning commission set
up by our Chamber of Commerce.
But, if my information is correct,
that survey is also a deep and mys-
ferrous secret.
The editor of The Globe indie
pendent published an editorial last
week on the subject of postwar
planning and postwar employment,
In which he suggested that the time
was ripe for some public statement
on these important matters, but he
failed to mention that one local in
dustry-the Victor Products Cor
poration-had already made a pub
lie statement as to their postwar
aims.
Why cannot other industries fol-
low their splendid example and
come out into the open with at
least general outline regarding
their postwar employment hopes.

DURELY
i OFFICIAL
By BALLOT BOX

Once again events have proven
that in times of crises the American
people forget about political and
party differences, concerning them
selves with but one thought-the
welfare of these United States.
Here at home, as well as in every
other city, town and village
throughout the Nation, men and
women of all political parties and
faiths have quickly and unre-
servedly come out in unqualified
and united support of President
Harry S. Truman, realizing that
few men have so suddenly, and so
tragically been called upon to lead a
nation, not only engulfed in glo-
bal war, but also facing the ire
mendous task of taking leading
part in shaping durable peace
when our enemies have been final
ly defeated.
Talking to men and women in
every walk of life during the past
week, l have heard nothing but
praise for the way President Tru-
man has shouldered his tremendous
responsibility and nothing but
pledges of the fullest cooperation.
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1945-04-19

And talking of cooperation, isn't
it about time that some of us re-
alize that the Hagerstown city cleo
tons are over now and that the vo-
tiers, having exercised their right
of ballot at the polls, have elected
the present city administration for
another term. While it is true that
Mayor Sweeney and the four Dem
ocratic Councilmen were reelected
by smaller majorities than four
years ago Republican Councilman
Hellane was reelected without OPP
position), the fact remains that
they were reelected, with Mayor
Sweeney carrying four out of the
five wards and nine out of the fif-
teen precincts.
Constructive criticism is the best
means of keeping any administra-
ton on its toes, but to my way of
thinking, at least, it seems unfair
to see something sinister in practi-
cally every move that the Mayor
and Council make.
