Retailers Bureau
Annual Banquet

Little did Ross D. Copley, first
president of the Hagrstown Retailers
Bureau, dream that the small organ
ization that he and a few fellow
members of the Chamber of Com
merce and the Junior Chamber of
Commerce started just a little over
three years ago, would ever be host
to gathering Of nearly four humid
red people. Yet on Tuesday night
| it actually came to pass at Franklin
Court Auditorium, when the Bureau
held it's first annual dinner.
Sitting down to an elegant chicken
repast with all the trimmings, in a
hall tastefully and periodically dec
GRATED, nearly four hundred happy
and congenial retailers, their fami-
lies, employees and guests, enjoyed
not only an excellent meal, but as
good an evenings fun as this re-
porter has been to in many moon.
Put in lively humor during the
meal by the music of Mary Donegan
Howe, who strolling among the
guests playing her accordion, soon
had everyone singing, with one
group breaking out in veritable
barber shop quartette, the fun con-
tinued, undated, until the happy
evening was over.
c. Vernon Stone, Jr., presided, and
after introducing the guests at the
head table, turned the gavel over to
A. H Warne, general chairman of the
banquet committee, who introduced
the speaker of the evening, Roy G.
Howells, world-famous humorist and
asrologer, who, to put it mildly, is
in class by himself.
Calling on members of the aud
fence for birth dates, he proceeded to
tell them more things about them
selves than they, to say nothing of
their husbands and wives Gas the
case may be-, not only ever heard
of, but even dreamed of. Space will
not permit giving all the details of
the intimate stories he revealed, so
suffice it to say that, among others,
M sand Mrs. Merrill Hayes and Mr..
and Mrs. Max Schoff were probably
talking far into the night after they
got home.
Too much credit cannot be given to
the members of Harry Warne's COM
mittee, consisting of: F. j. Bryan,
chairman ticket committee; Max
Schoff, chairman publicity commit
tee; Eugene c. Evans, chairman ar
rangements committee, and Mrs
Harry Steiger, chairman decorations
committee; who all did a bang-up
job.
Seated at the head table, in addi-
ton to president Stone and his wife
were: Herbert Logsdon, president OF
the Junior c. of c., and Mrs
Logsdon; H. L. Mills, president OF
the Chamber of Commerce; Rev
Paul M. Robinson, Church of the
Brethren; Frank S. Letter, of the
executive board of the bureau; Ross
D. Copley, first president of the
bureau, and Mrs. Copley; Paul D
Horst, secretary of the bureau, and

executive board of the bureau, and

The city election campaign is
warming up now, with both sides
realizing that the election is only
twelve days away
The Republican candidates have
been holding largely attended pep
rallies and a big crowd turned out
for the combined Mems and Wo-
mems Republican Clubs meeting,
held last night. John Dunn, Republi-
can Candidate for Mayor, and his
five running mates were present and
their remarks were enthusiastically
received. Their ward workers have
been extremely busy and they are
confident of a Republican victory,
all down the line.
The Democratic candidates for re-

steam, with Mayor Sweeney address
sing an enthusiastic meeting of the
Women's Democratic Club, at which
he replied to the questions raised in
the Republican Platform.
For weeks it was impossible to
get even a mild argumen tabout the
election, but today you will see little
groups huddled together, here and
there-a sure sign that the election
campaign is getting hot.

A SHARE IN KINDNESS

Nothing in life is more difficult
for peace-loving people to bear
than war with all its grim horror,
its uuending trail Of sorrow. it,
disruption of homes and its utter
waste of life and property. Yet
the people of this nation are in
the third year of the worlds
most horrible war.
Each dav more blue stars in
service flags turn to gold as this
son. that brother or that father
falls on a distant and unknown
battlefield. Each day hundreds.
or thousands. of men are carried
back to hospitals with grievous
wounds. Each is a member of
some American family. Thous-
ands. yes millions, Of American
men in uniform are tired beyond
belief of battle, and homesick for
home and family. Yet they know
they must keep on.
There is no one Of US but would
give everything to tighten the
burden of sorrowing families who
have lost their men, or calm the
fears OF those whose msn have
been wounded. We would give
all we could to ease the pain of
the injured, or still the home-
sickness in those who must fight
on.
This month, as the American
Red Cross opens its campaign for
funds, we can do our share in
tightening the burden of sorrow,
in calming the fears, and in cas-
ing the pain of the wounded.
The American Red Cross was
created just for that purpose and
through its channels of Mercy We
can de most for those who need
our help.

A high official who has spent

Big Five Held

(INS)-Moscow still held the an
swer today on the one big problem
which will break the United Ma

ment on one other proposal ad-
vanced by the French.
A furry Of excitement was
noted around American delegation
headquarters late yesterday when
the Big Five chairmen suddenly
were called into session at the
request of Soviet Ambassador
Gromyko. II appeared that that
the Russian veto reply might have
been received from Moscow, where
presidential adviser Harry Hop
kinS has been in consultation with
Marshal Stain on this vital point.
FRANCE WINS POINT
That optimism died as quickly
"a il arose, when IL was disclosed
uhat the Yalta voting formula

Trucks for Quick Victory

Defense Transportation and the war
production board have been INSULT
cient for American truckers to carry
on with this enormous effort.
And yet, if our trucking industry
is paralyzed or hampered by short
ages it will follow inevitably that
every industry of war and every
military movement will be hampered
or paralyZed in exact ratio.
The western truckers, who today
in effect are frontline soldiers in the
Asiatic campaign, demand that these
shortages be overcome.
NeW equipment must be author
lied, manpoDer ceilings raised, more
tires released.
Every hours delay in satisfying
these wants means another hours
prolongation of the war.
And in every hour of fighting
precious American lives are lost.
The west has done and will do an
outstanding job of transporting g
troops and materials, if the west is
given the tools for the job.
This means prompt and energetic
help from the war agencies, the
transport industry of the eastern
states, of all industry and business
and labor.
Nothing less will do in the saving
Of valuable effort, costly material,
precious time and infinitely more
precious lives.

and think effectively.
The recent AtL-ClO iuriSdic-

little more than to disrupt the

timely 10 draw a strict parallel
10 conditions as they existed

In the 1S90's. public opinion
was aroused against the finan-

grounds that far too much
power rested in the hands of a
few individuals who for per-
sonal gains were acting as a
detriment TO the country as
whole.
Congress, seeing the evils Of
such power, passed the Sher-
