Victory Gardeners
Plan 1916 Season

Many "old-timers," a large num-
Der of veterans" of one, two and
three years of Victory gardening,
and stable number of newcomers
in the game are being gardening
wise" by planning their 1945 gar
dens now. While no definite goal has
been set for gardens this year, it
is estimated that at least one of
every two Maryland homes will
have one, w. r. Ballard, garden
specialist at the University of Mary
land, said this week.
Surveys indicate that tomatoes are
by far the most popular grader crop,
not only in Maryland but in the
country as whole. Both past per-
fcrmances and present plans give
this fruit first rank. Beans are - nd
in popularity, with preference llvld-
ed between the green and lima vari-
cites. Cabbage, carrots and lettuce
all ranked high on the list Folll w
ing in close order were corn, bcets,
cucumbers, green peas, mustard,
peppers, potatoes, radishes, squash,
turnips, kale, spinach, swiss chard
and onions. These and many other
vegetables appear on the plans being
drawn up for this years gardens.
Most gardeners find that seed
ordering can be an interesting pas
time. The whole family can have
fun reading the descriptions of
mountaineering fruits and vege-
tables given in the catalogs; looking
at the illustrations; and discussing
likes and dislikes. Then finally,
comes the decision as to just what
varities show the most promise for
a successful garden.
1t helps for the whole family to
talk over garden plans before MAX
ing selections. The tried and tested
varities are recommended. How
ever, it is also a good idea to try
one or two new vegetables or new
variety. The use of varieties resis-
tant to disease especially is urged.
This is particularly true in the case
of cabbage, sweet corn, and toma-
toes, as otherwise some of the soil
borne diseases may ruin the entire
planting.

Unique Museum
School Program

An important phase of the activi-
ties connected with the Washington
County Museum of Fine Arts is that
of art extension talks for the schools
of Hagerstown and the County, Civ
en- by the Museum staff. Within the
past month extension talks have
been given to the 5th and 9th grades
of Lincoln School, White Oak Forest
School, Huyetts School, Cearfoss
School, and the 4th grades of Broad
way School In addition, a talk was
given at the Funkstown School on
the evening of February 23rd to a
community group sponsored by the
Funkstown P. T. A.
The subjects of the talks were cor
related to school studies and included
several films shown to classes in
geography and science. These were:
Around the Calendar in Vermont"
Winter Sports in the National For
ests of California" Panama Canal"
and The Conquest of the Cascades"
Other subjects, illustrated with LIANT
ern slides from the Museums collect
ion, were: Norway, the Land of the
Vikings" and Norway, the Land of
the Vikings" and "The Life of an
Ancient Egyptian" In as much as
the local Museum does not own
film library, such showings have to
be arranged for well in advance of
the desired date. Talks illustrated
with slides are available on request,
unless the subject is one not covered
by the Museums collection.
The slide collection of the Museum
is quite extensive. Talks correlated
to ancient history, Greek, Roman,
etc, geography and social studies,
can be assembled on request. Any
teacher desiring such service can OBJ
tain it by calling 2918, the office of
the Museum.

Debris and Brush
Fire Regulations

Some confusion seems to exist
among Maryland landowners, says
District Forester, VIM. H. Johnson, as
to the intent of that section of Regu-
lation which relates to the burning
of debris and brush
A number appear to be under the
impression that in the spring and fall
forest fire seasons, regardless of
where burning is done, there must
be constructed around the area
ploWed fire line at least 10 feet wide,
free of all infiammable material.
This, Mr.. Johnson declares is not
the case. Such a line needs to be
constructed only when brush to be
burned is within 200 feet of wood
land or of infammable material that
may carry fire to the woods.
In the case of brush or other debris
burned, for example, in the middle
of cleared field, no such precaution
is necessary. Mr.. Johnson e1npha-
sizes, however, that in all cases, re-
CARELESS of where burning takes
place, no fire may be left unattended
until the last spark is out, and that
there must be on hand enough tools
to prevent its escape The proviso
that, in the spring and fall fire seas
ons, brush and other infammable
material can be burned only between
the hours of 4 p. m. and II midnight,
Mr.. Johnson adds, also applies in
all cases.

HORSE. AND BUGGY DAYS
BY THE OLD LAMPLIGHTER


| generally are spacious and hand
some, and some of the buildings are
of striking exteriors. On Potomac
avenue and Prospect street. and in
some other localities, the residences
are surrounded by beautiful grounds
and are themselves attractive in
their architectural beauty.
"Hagerstown is beautifully sup
piled with places of amusement. The
Academy of Music, which was open
ed in 1880, is a gem of theatre. 1t
is located in the heart of the town
and approached through broad hall
way in the Baldwin House, some
what after the manner of Niblo's
Garden, New York. In addition to
this there are several other spacious
and complete halls. The principal
one of these is the Hose Opera House
in the handsome new building of the
Hose Fire Company, on South Poto-
mac street"
The lobby of the Maryland Hotel
is today a popular rendezvous of
local historians We got mixed up
with small bevy of these most in
teresting fellows the other day. One
pointed out of the window to the
Nicodemus Bank. But it was not the
bank about which he was telling us,
but the old stone building which
originally stood there and which was
occupied by Edward w. Mealey, Sr.,
who owned and operated a stage
coach line out of Hagerstown. The
stables were where the Library is
now located.
The sheath skirt is back, announc-
ed a clipping from our files of some
years ago. In regard to it followed
this poem:
"How dear to my heart are the
scenes of my childhood
When fond recollection presents
them to view!
The clothes by the swimming pool
hopelessly mildewed,
With those tell-tale spots which by
infancy knew!
The WITHDRAWING dog, and the dirt
that stuck to him
And cen the black bucket that
stood by the stove!
The old spacious bucket, the galvan-
lied bucket,
The coal-bulging bucket that stood
by the stove
How sweet from a coal shed e'er
full to refill it
And raise it free-handed, above
the bright flame,
A joy with no awful foreboding to
still it,
A joy that will never, alas be the
same!
And now far removed from those
bright days of plenty,
The tears of regret will descend
in drove,
AS l count DER my stock and have
visions of twenty
Good dollars ton they will some
day remove.
The old spacious bucket, the cheaply
filled bucket,
The coal-bulging bucket that stood
by the stove"

THE HITLER GANG
sunday FEATURE
AT 10Th CENTURY

Audiences are in for quite shock
in more ways than one, according to
advance reports, when Paramount
The Hitler Gang" arrives Sunday
at the Goth Century Theatre.
The film is more than screen
drama, it is said, for it combines both
entertainment and education stimuli
taneously. Entertainment stems
from the Characterization of the
Hitler gangsters by competent Holly
wood actors while the story of Hit
ler's rise to power is something which
every American should be familiar.
1t is necessary if Fascism is to be
abolished forever.
The Hitler Gang" says the grape
vine, gives the low-down on the act
ual inside happenings in Germany
before. during and after the Nazi
putsch. The unbelievable resem-
blance of the players to Berlin's
Murder, Inc" crew is another fac
tors said to produce an element of
surprise. Robert Watson, as Hitler,
appears as an exact replica of that
cowardly character while Martin
Kosleck, Victor Varconi and others
pass as doubles of Hess, GoebbelS
and the rest of the gangster crew.
The expose of the nefarious ac-
tivities carried on by these Nazis is
not pretty sight. Withal, how
ever, the picture provides an insight
to the background from which Fas-
cism arose Preview audiences mar
yelled at the authenticity of THE
Hitler Gang" and it's sure bet
many will return to get a good
second look at the screen happen
ings.
Certainly one of the most novel
pictures ever to have been turned out
of Hollywood, Paramount'S The
Hitler Gang" promises an unusual
and extremely pleasant evening at
the theatre. 1t appears well on its
way toward becoming one of those
pictures of the century-one which
will be talked about long after it's
showings.

HIGHER, HIGHER
COMING SUNDAY
AS CAPITOL BILL

A trumped up romance between a
scullery maid and a confidence man,
each posing as a wealthy member
of society and each anxious to marry
the other for money, is the sprightly
basis of the screens newest musical
film, Higher and Higher" which
opens Sunday at the Capitol.
With Michele Morgan. Jack Haley
and Frank Sinatra starred, the pic
ture offers some of the catchiest
tunes in years and hilariously
funny plot as the various romances
entangle and disentangle them
selves. Sinatra himself, in his act
ing debut, proves to be real dis
covery," as we'll as singing four OF
the eight Jimmy Ntzhugh, Harold
Adamson sons in his own inimitable
fashion.
Most of the action takes place in
fifth Avenue mansion of penniless
socialite. The servants haven't been
paid for seven months, and they and
their employer collaborate on the
idea of having the scullery maid pre-
tend to be the latters debutante
daughter and catch herself a rich
husband. Naturally there are I'M
expected results, and these bring
about the surprising happenings.
Leon Enrol heads the featured
cast as the bankrupt big-shot, and
Marcy Mcclure, Victor Borge, Mary
Wickes, Paul and Grace Hartman,
Barbara Hale, Mel Torme and Doc
ley Wilson also have important roles.
With the defeat of Germany the
question looms, How cam we make
the Germans pay for their crimes?'
The latest March of Time, What
To Do With Germany" which is the
added feature, gives Americans an
up-to-the minute idea of present
plans for the future of Europe.
