 Accomplishment

Art E. Shields, manager of the Portland office Of the Veterans Administration, addressed the Lions today as special representative Of Gen. Omar Bradley. The ad- ministration, he said, is planning a somewhat expanded program in Alaska, but added that he was not now in position to say just what that would mean.
 Lion Fred Geeslin, just back from the Aleutians, and a trip on the North Star, reported especially on his work in helping reestablish the Aleuts in Unalaska. He said the natives were splendid workers, and added that they merely needed a good start-something like the Juneau men who built the Boy Scout building last spring. Lion Geeslin said that Unalaska was pretty much a new town now.
 Charles Burdick, chairman in the First Division for the Nationa War Fund drive, just completed ir Juneau by the Lions Club, spoke a word of appreciation to the clut for it's splendid work. The drive in the States, he said, was only 56 per cent successful, and they are faced with the possibility oi having to do the work over again Ketchikan, he added, had so fal secured only about 50 per cent oi its quota.

Truman nevertheless has dem
onstrated on many occasions
that he can be leader of force
and determination. His work as
chairman Of the Truman COM
mittee in the u. s. senate in
vestigating the conduct of the
war is cited as an example of
this. And his conduct of the
Vice Presidency has shown that
he can work successfully with

When World War broke out,
Truman became captain of Bat

Back in independence, Truman

boyhood sweetheart, Bess Wallace
and they have one daughter, Mary
Margaret.
Truman later turned to politics
for a career, which started with his
election as County Judge of Jack.

Nation Rallies Behind
President Harry Truman

With this one thought in mind,
the Nation, regardless of party or of
past political differences, have
quickly rallied behind President
Truman.
The new President faces the inn
mediate task of directing American
participation in the United Nations
blueprints for a permanent world
organization. He likewise faces the
responsibility of establishing work
ing relations with other members
of the Big Three, so that the per-
sonal cooperation which existed be-
tween Franklin D. Roosevelt, Josef
Stain and Winston Churchill in
leading the Allies toward victory
may be maintained in helping win
the peace. He faces the long
job of guiding the nation to postwar
economic prosperity once Nazi Ger

feated.

Square to keep down the dust as
the streets were like country roads,
full of dirt and stone"
Continuing, Mr.. Schueler said:
How well | remember when our
town streets were lighted with coal
oil lamps. The lamp lighters went
around in the morning to fill the
lamps with oil and then in the
evening to light the lamps.
when the new almshouse was
built in 1879 and 1880, it was NOV
ed from the old location at Ran
dolph avenue and Locust street to
its present location just north of
town. part of the property is in
the corporate limits of the city ard
portion in the county, All was
farm land north of Randolph av-
enue at that time. A smallpox
shanty was on the corner of what
is now North avenue and Locust
street. Improvements and building
began in the northern section of
the city when the almshouse was
moved.
do you remember the Tan
Walk" which was on the seast side
of Potomac street at North avenue,
and which led to the corporate
limits at the Western Maryland
Railroad? The only house in the
west side of North Potomac street,
from North avenue, was the Her
bert property, now the Byron home,
and the Hager farm, on the east
side of North Potomac street, later
owned by C. M. Harris.
Can you remember when
Coxey's Army camped for few
days on Logan's Hill, the present
location of the Moller Organ
Works?
do you remember going to the
Washington County Fair in the
western section of the city, with its
entrance on what we know now
as Salem avenue and Winter street,
with the ''Tan Walk" leading from
the Western Maryland Railroad to
the grounds. The fair grounds out
grew their location there and in
1880, Henry McComas, superintend-
ent of the Fair Association, pur-
chased the present location on
North Mulberry street. One of the
largest firemen's parades ever held
in Hagerstown was witnessed on the
opening day of the fair. All of the
firemen were fed at the old Market
House by wives of the local fremen
and no one went away hungrey.
Building began in the southwest
section of Hagerstown when Henry
Winters laid out Madison avenue
and Elizabeth street and began to
sell building lots.
There were no houses on the
west side of Summit avenue from
John Middlekauff's carpenter shop,
now the location of Ships Market,
to what is now the City Park en-
trance. Do you recall the log house
on the east side of Summit avenue
which was occupied by Mrs. Thomp-
son, with the reputation of being a
fortune teller, and who was visited
in those days by many persons,
both from the city and the county?
There was a stone fence in front
of the house, located somewhere be-
tween Baltimore street and the
Western Maryland Railroad, on the
east side. (Dear reader, maybe you

Never before had an American
President died in wartime. Abra-
ham Lincoln fell under Assassin
Booths bullet just five days after
the surrender of General Lees army
at Appomattox in 1865. Woodrow
Wilson lived to see victory over
Germany in World War l, but he
fought losing battle for the
League of Nations and died early
in 1924, a defeated leader. Many
historians believe Lincoln's great
ness might have been dimmed in
the conflicts over reconstruction
that followed the War Between the
States, just as Wilson'S prestige
was lost in the conflict over the
league that followed World War l.
Thus Franklin Roosevelt, dying at
the height of his career just as vic
tory was TO be achieved over Ger
many, seemed likely to live in his
tory as a great man.
AS the American people from
Main Street to Riverside Drive
mourned the death of Franklin
Roosevelt, their prayers went up
for his successor, Harry S. Truman.
For on the shoulders of this slight,
gray, 60-year-old Missourian had
been laid responsibility such as
no American President had ever
borne.
What the consequences of the
Presidents death would be to
the United States and the
world, time alone would tell.
But as Americans recovered
from their first shock at the
news, they quickly determined
two things. The war must be
prosecuted to as speedy and
victorious a finish as possible.
Lasting peace must be estab-
lished.
