mentioned that it was along about
the same time that other turnpikes
in the county were taken over and
roads made free of toll.
It is in the recollection of more
than one person who reads this
column, of driving up to the gate
with your horse and buggy and wait
ing for the toll gate-keeper to raise
the pole by unfastening the rope
holding the pole in place, or taking
the right coin as you drove along
without stopping.
It is being talked about that after
the war this road will be broadened
several feet on each side, all along
the right of way. At Cavetown,
where there has always been dan
gerous crossing, the scene of more
than one fatal accident, it is planned,
it is said, to tunnel under the railroad
in the neighborhood of the old lime
kiln, and then proceed eastward to-
ward Smithsburg, leaving the cross
ing, as it has been, to the left. In
Smithsburg the course of this pro-
jected highway would be south from
the Square and then DETECTING
across the mountain toward FoXville
and on to Westminster and Balti-
more. This, it can ready be seen,
would make an important main
highway. Let's see what happens
after the guns cease firing and our
boys come trooping home. 1t may be
that they will be looking for work
and this might furnish some of it.

HORSE AND BUGGY DAYS
Rv THE OLD IAMPIIGHTER
By THE OLD LAMPLIGHTER
EASTER

Before Christ rose on Easter morn
His followers were quite forlorn
Yes, all seemed dark, the world was cold
Their cherished hopes did not unfold.
But when the day dawned bright and clear
They to the sepulcher drew near;
There To-! the bonds were burst away,
The Lord had risen-glorious day!
And ever since that happy time
His worshipers, with joy sublime,
Will let his praises loudly ring
In greeting to the risen King.

came in for a little mention in one
of the Bible classes of the city re-
Gently Many thanks What was it?
Well, Attorney Edward Oswald was
guest teacher at the meeting of the
class at the Presbyterian Church. Mr..
Oswald, by the way, and possibly as
you know, is the popular teacher of
the big Mems Bible Class at st.
Johns Lutheran Church, but gets
stolen once in while and brought
into some other Bible class to teach.
1t was on such an occasion like this
that he was teaching at the Presby-
terian Church The popular Bible
Glass president, is C. Dyson Burnett,
who injects into his work in the
class the same energy that has al
ways dominated him as salesman.
Well, the fact was mentioned that
Dyson Ito his many friends) used to
be lamplighter in Hagerstown. Now
he isn't old enough Gas we might be-
to have taken part in lamplighting
in its very infancy The fact is Dyson
used to light the old oil lamps on the
streets in the northern part of the
city before the modern system was
extended to that section. There was
some repartee exchanged, coupled
with a touch of rivalry between Dy-
son and this Old Lamplighter, as
mentioned by Mr.. Oswald But we
are willing to surrender the honors
to Dyson. It is surely to his credit
that he was such an energetic lad and
did want to work and he must
have been quite small, young lad,
at that time, because he is only a
young man, now.
AS to ourselves, will say that if
we did not light lamps in Hagers-
town, it was because we lived out
on the farm where we didn't like
farm work any too well so we
are told. We don't remember. We
sat in the evening by more than one
old fat lamp and tallow candle and
if we had been in Hagerstown after
dark we no doubt would have been
too badly scared to light any lamps.

No Need For Haste

Already debate is starting IN the
congress as to whether or not legis-
lation should now be enacted that
would institute universal military
training on the youth Of America
in time Of peace. II is well that
this drastic departure from our
previous national practice should be
well debated before it becomes q
law.
This newspaper has taken stand
in support Of universal military
training for our youth. The reason
fer that position is our conviction
that the safety of the nation IN
future years most assuredly requires
it. and the further belief that it
will prove a good thing for most
boys. However, there is no call for
undue haste to enact the required
legislation. Our youths are now be-
ing taken into the services as soon
as they finish high school and even
before, in some instances, nothing
would be gained by any new legis-
lation along that line at present.
But more and more it is becom-
ing certain that trained body OF
young men will be necessary to in
sure the nations protection. The
development Of new weapons such
as the robot bomb and jet pro-
rclled engines Of destruction, lndl-
Gates strongly that hereafter Amer
lea can not sit back in her unpre.
paredness and depend on Other
powers such as Great Britain, Rus
sia and France to hold an aggressol
in check while we arm and prepar,
for war. Our military men are al
ready telling us that in any future
war against the United States, ths
attack may fall direct upon on
cities nd manufacturing plants witt
as complete a suddenness and sur
prise as the attack on Pearl Har
Dor. There would then be no tim,

Think This Over

In these days one hears SO much
about the Four Freedoms and many
other phases of freedom, but very
little has been said that is new
However, one writer has brought
out thought that has not often

Don Herold and he says that Free :

greatest moral development. Read
What Herold recently wrote:

we used to regard as fine and
