Rent Control Here
To Be Continued

Lucien E. D. Gaudreau, State
OPA Rent Control Director, an
nounced on Monday that rent con-
troll is being continued in Hagers-
town and will probably be needed
for a long time, according to the
present report on local housing
conditions.
The director, in his statement,
pointed out that reports from Ha-
gerstown indicate that the housing
shortage would continue acute, as
few persons are being laid off from
jobs here and, in many instances,
more are being hired. Concluding
his statement, Mr.. Gaudreau said
that present plans call for strong
rent control program in Hagers-
town, with greater emphasis laid
on enforcement of rent ceilings
than ever before"

Seaman Murray, 10 years of age,
who joined the Navy on July 8,
1912, is plane handler on the
Sangamon and has seen action at
Palau Island, New Guinea, Saipan,
Guam, Morotai, Leyte and Okina-

Reformed Church.
Here is Seaman Murray's account
of what happened;
1--WE left Kerama Retto around
1880 May 4, 1915. We were out
about 20 mi, when they sounded
GO, was wondering if we were
going to have Flight Quarters or
if it was just a regular routing CO.
l picked up couple of life belts
that were laying on my rack and
went up to the flight deck on the
double. Just as l got on the fight
deck our DE. Escorts started to
fire and l knew then that it wasn't
routing GO. 1 looked up and saw
a plane going by our port side and
then our guns opened up on it. He
made good target because he was
flying straight but fast. Some of
our guns made hits and it started
to smoke and then peeled off to-
wards us and l ran for cover. He
/ missed the ship about 10 feet and
exploded in the water. A few
minutes later we started firing at
another plane. 1t was twin engine
fighter. 1t came down our star,
board side and came toward us
from the fan tail l started for
cover again, but didn't make it.
When he hit l got hit and from then
on everything was blank to me
until I woke up in the sick bay the
next evening. | asked how we
made out and they said not so good.
A corps man gave me description
of our fight deck and hangar deck.
didn't believe it was as bad as he
said. Two days later l got out of
sick bay and went to look for my
self They had lot of it cleaned
up but it was still hell of mess.
Those that were able to, fought fire
until almost one o'clock that mite
without resting or thinking of
themselves"

Governor O'Conor Heads Del

With Governor Herbert O'Conor
heading a large delegation of inter
ested state and county officials, a
new field laboratory was opened and
dedicated near Hancock on Friday.
J. Andrew Cohil1, well known Han
cock orchardist, acted as general
chairman and introduced the visit
ing officials.
DR.. Castillo Graham, field entomo-
logist at the Hancock laboratory, en-
phasized that most of the work at
first would be to combat the codling
moth in the orchards of Washing
ton and the other four Western
Maryland counties.
Governor O'Conor also emphasized
that the new station is expected to
prevent much of the loss due to cod
ling moths and said that he thought
the outlay was more than justified.
Brief remarks were also made by
DR.. T. B. Symons, director of ex-
tension service and dean of the col
lege of agriculture at the University
of Maryland, and by DR.. H. C. Byrd,
president of the University.

Two Hagerstown boys, Seaman
second class Charles F. May, son
of Mr.. and Mrs Walter A. May, 1873
Ray street, and Seaman First Glass
Arthur L. Murray, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. L. Murray, formerly of $50
West Washington street, but now
living on the Sharpsburg Pike, are
members of the USS Sangamon,
one of the U. S. Navy's fleet of es-
cort carriers that recently limped
home following a Jap suicide plane
attack, after thwarting enemy
planes and guns in two oceans, and
during seven invasions.
The converted tanker inaugurated
her battle career in North Africa
and then followed the American
liberation pace from the Central
and South Pacific to the shores of
Japan. She is now being repaired
at the Norfolk Navy Yard, Norfolk,
Va.
Seaman May, IS years of age, who
joined the Navy on July 2, 1914, is
a gunner on the Sapgamon and
was in the Okinawa engagement.
He was educated at st. Mary's
Catholic School. His brother,
S/Sgt. Franklin E. Spicer, is in the
U. S. Army.
Here is Seaman Mays account of
what took place:
when they sounded GO. l went
to my GO. station on Mt. IL, where
l was second loader. l saw the first
plane at 270 when he came in and
went across the flight deck. While
coming in we really did put out the
ammunition toward him, but he
just kept coming in and crashed
on the starboard side of the ship.
He tried to suicide but missed and
crashed into the water The sec
ond plane came in at 100 and saw
it coming in and my gun captain
spotted it and we opened fire on
the plane Our escorts also opened
up and how that Jap got through
to us is beyond me. The sky looked
like a cloud of shell fire for you
could hardly see the plane for
shell fire. After he hit us l stood
by my gun station until ordered to
help fight fire and get the planes
off the flight deck. We showed
planes off the flight deck and then
after several hours of fire fighting,

Boy Scout Summer
Camp Has Closed
26S Scouts and IL Leaders
Take Part In Most Successful
Camp In Councils History.

The six weeks summer camp of
the Washington Council Area, Boy
Scouts of America, under the di-
rection of B. J. Hagedorn, Scout
Executive held at Cowan's Gap, Pa,
which closed last week, was with
out doubt the most successful in the
camping history of the local coun-
Gil. During the six weeks, 268
Scouts, from 80 Troops, with II
leaders, spent periods at the camp.
An interesting and varied Scout
program, ranging from outright
fun to Scout advancement work,
was carried out under a staff of 16
Scouters and Senior Scouts, while
the all-important Commissary de-
partment was in the capable hands
of Mrs. c. F. Detrow, of the Hage1s-
town High School cafeteria.
Too much credit cannot be given
Scout Executive Hagedorn and his
camp staff, who not only built an
entirely new camp from the ground
up, but followed that up by pro.
viding program that met with
the unqualified APPROVAL of not only
the Scouts and their leaders, but
also of the many parents who visited
the camp.

In the Army, this is the only time
you can mail a parcel overseas
without a written request from
your soldier. But d. .
f. If there's reason to believe he

safer to WATT TILL YOU CAN
MAIL YOUR GIFT TO THE NEW

exactly nothing.
Oh well! at least someone got
the job of replacing the broken
