No Rise In Price
For Improved Gas

Improved qualities of regular and
premium grades of gasoline about
to come on the market will cost
consumers no more than the lower
qualities of these grades produced
for civilian use during the war, OPA
says
Regular grade gasoline sold since
mid-1944 has been generally about
10 actane, but this octane rating
will move up to at least the normal
level of " to IA octane and may
in some cases be in excess of rs
octane, according to advices re
.ceived by OPA from the industry
Premium grade gasoline is also
being improved, and, as a result,
OPA has lifted the minimum octane
rating qualifying for the premium
grade ceilings from rs octane to rs
octane.

Scout Paper Drive
Exceeds II Tons

The September Boy Scout Paper
Drive, held on Saturday, resulted in
slightly more than n tons of paper
being collected in Hagerstown and
nearby county towns.
While there was a good turnout
of Scouts and their leaders, it is
regretted that some local firms and
organizations that usually furnish
trucks and drivers for the monthly
collections, did not show up this
month, with the result that Hagers-
town was not covered as thoroughly
as it should have been.
The WPB has stressed that the
paper shortage is still acute and
has urged all organizations sponsor
ing the collection of paper to stay
on the job. II is hoped, therefore,
that those firms who have so
periodically donated trucks and
drivers in the past, will be on the
job for the October collection, which
takes place Saturday, October 6.

Modern School Architecture
Illustrated; Exhibit To Open
Sunday ;Other Events Planned

A growing awareness of the need
of a new public school building in
Washington County was a powerful
force in prompting September's
special exhibition at the Washing
ton County Museum. Entitled Mod
ern Architecture for the Modern
School," the exhibit will open to
the public on Sunday, September

p. M, An exhibition designed to
promote educational progress and
thought within Washington County

cal solutions for our needs, it is an
exhibition to be seen.
The theme of the show is demon
strated by wall panels featuring
blown-up photographs of various
school types and scale model of
an actual school. Drawings and ex-
planatory labels contrast the old
and new methods of elementary
education. Examples Of good mod
ern architecture are shown not only
in schoolhouses of the United States,
but in those of Brazil, England,
France, Sweden and Switzerland.
The exhibit has been designed by
Elizabeth Mock for the Museum Of
Modern Art, New York City, which
is circulating 1t among schools, col
leges, and museums throughout the
country.
In conjunction with this exhibit,
the Museum is planning series of
correlated illustrated lectures and
movies, and public forum on the
application of its information to the
needs of our County. On Thursday
evening, September 18th, at $50
p M, in the auditorium of the
Museum, DIR. Craft will offer an IL
lustrated lecture based on the ma
terial of the exhibit. On Thursday,
September goth, at the same hour,
the Museums director will present
a special sound film, "A Design for
Learning" to further round out the
public's understanding of the theme.
On Thursday evening, September
9th, there will be a public forum in
the Museums auditorium. All of
these events are open to the general
public.

Annual Horse Show
September Is and 16
Proceeds To Go To Kiwanis
Club For Underprivileged Chill
dren's Fund.

While the Horse Show scheduled
for Mt Tammany Farm on Satur-
day, September 18th, and Sunday,
September 18th is the first to be
held under the banner of the new
ly organized Hagerstown Horse
Show, Inc, it is actually the eleventh
annual Horse Show held locally for
the same purpose. Reason for the
affair is to raise funds for the XII
wants Clubs Underprivileged Chill
dren's Fund.
Membership of the local organiza-
ton in the Maryland and American
Horse Show Associations assures the
appearance here of far better class
of horses than has been obtainabble
heretofore. No effort is being spared
to make this show not only out
standing in local horse show history,
but unusually entertaining for the
spectator.
The show is most fortunate in its
site. Mt. Tammany Farm provides
location that is unsurpassed by
few if any horse show settings in
the country. A great deal of work
has gone into the grounds and ample
parking and seating facilities are
assured. Arrangements have also
been made for a refreshment stand.
Among the entertainment high
lights will be an exhibition of trick
riding and pony rides for children.
A number of other as yet unan-
nounced features are being planned.

INDIAN STUDENTS ENROLL
IN MARYLAND COLLEGES
midas First Organized Govern
mental Program--Graduates Sent
To Learn American Ideals.


To Learn American Ideals.
Eight graduates of Indian univer-
sites will sign up for courses in
engineering subjects at Johns Hop
kins University this fall. Prof. NJ.
IS. Sundaram, educational liaison
officer hopes to enroll similar
group in the University of Mary
land, as part of midas first organ
lied governmental program for
sending students out of the country
at the expense of the government.
Out Of 10000 applicants, 400 were
chosen to enter American colleges,
universities and industries. Scat
tered in about 40 universities, Their
courses will include agriculture,
radio engineering, plastic, rubber,
fuels, automobiles and many others.
Part of the time the students win
work in industries. This way they
can apply their experience to Indian
centers of production. The students
have agreed to work five years for
the Government, in return for the
opportunity, on their return.
Professor Sundaram says, The
only way to have peace is through
the contact of the young people of
the world, and l not only want my
students to become good engineers
but to learn something of America
and American ideals. The young
peopel of India are discovering the
world and readjusting themselves
to India in terms Of it. And that is
how it should be-"
The professor expressed hope that
after the war American students
could go to India and learn some
thing of her culture and problems.
India's eighteen universities have
much to offer in the way of philoso-
ply, art and literature.
