c e missioner of Motor Vehicles Asks
Motorists To Watch Out For The Kids

those kids of G.. l Joe are safe
guarded from all harm until he gets
home.
1--WE have big job to do, you
and /, for that fellow over there.
We must protect his children. It's
a double responsibility and we must
work together as parents, motorists,
workers and good neighbors, to pro-
tect his youngsters. To motorists, |
appeal particularly. Please watch
out for the youngsters while they
are at play, on their way to school
and when they are returning to
their homes. At their tender ages
they are a little more reckless than
you in your mature years. Obey the
traffic laws, approach crossings with
sane discretion, let your foot know
where your car brake is and be
sure to keep those brakes in good
condition, so that they will always
be ready to meet any emergency
that may arise It's up to you and
me to do the thinking in these traffic
problems that jeopardize our chill
dren daily, Don't wait for the child
to make the decision, whether or not
he is to die beneath the wheels of
recklessly driven car. That is the
responsibility of the grown-ups back
on the home-front. What's the use
of G. l. Joe coming home after years
of sweat and toll and fighting and
suffering, if those kids of his are not
on the front steps to throw their
arms around their Dads or Brothers
neck?
Il am sure that my appeal to you
motorists will not be in vain and
that you will do everything in your
power to make it safe for the chill
dren at home until G.. /. Joe get
back"

Two Local Sailors
On USS Melville

ABOARD THE USS MELVILLE,

Navy men, John r. Fleagle, &c, chief
electricians mate, USN, whose wife,
Mrs. Lucille Fleagle, lives at 322
Mitchell ave-, and Roy C. Wiles, 80,
moulder, third class, USNR, whose
wife lives at 1877 McComas St, are
serving aboard this repairship, a
veteran of two wars, which is cur
rently preparing tank landing ships
for their voyage back to the states
Serving as destroyer tender at
Queenstown, Ireland in the last war,
the Melville again moved to Ireland
shortly after declaration of this war,
this time to Londonderry to serve as
a repair ship for Atlantic convoy
escort vessels.
After a brief tour of duty off
Brazil, she returned to Portland,
England, to prepare all types of
landing ships and craft for the Nor
mandy invasion.
The lack of port facilities in
France made it necessary to use
amphibious craft long after their in
tended D-day purpose Taking over
the job of keeping the specialized
craft in operation, the MELVILLE
provided routine check ups, repairs
and rest for weary crews of tank
landing ships.
Before enlisting, Fleagle was en-
ployed by the Masser Motor Ex-
press, he attended Hagerstown High
School
Wiles was employed by the Pang-
born Corporation before entering
the Navy. His brother Charles is
private first class in the Army.

Are our youngsters safe at home?
That sounds very much like a base
ball term, with a mental picture of
kids streaking around the bases and
sliding into the home plate. But that
isn't what mean," said w. Lee
Elgin, Commissioner of Motor We
hicles. IT'S a very vital question
being asked the thousands of mem
bers of our Armed Forces, who by
no fault of their own are away from
their loved ones, fighting to protect
those of us here at home
mo one will question that the
folks at home are trying to do every
thing possible to build up the morale
of our legions of fighting forces. All
of these boys have faced danger and
they know well what it means. In
those far away battlefields their in
terest is not in themselves nor is it
in their terrifying experiences. They
want to know, those who are fathers
and brothers, what is being done
for their children and sisters and
brothers back home. These men are
living in shell-pocked, scorched
fields and steel-riddled forests, but
they are not concerned with their
own hardships.
Nov that the war in Europe is
over and the war in the Pacific well
under way, C. l. Joe is thinking of
home and good fried chicken, coun-
try styled; hot water; clean towels
and pillow cases, and the end of
reveille. But those are only second
airy thoughts. His first thoughts are
about that tow-headed son and
curly-headed daughter whom he
hopes to bounce on his knee again.
But it may be long time yet be-
fore those dreams come true and it
is up to you and to me to see that

Guns AS Trophies Must
Be Registered

If your soldier son, husband,
brother or sweetheart has sent you
a firearm of any kind as a trophy
of his fighting in Europe it must be
registered with the Collector of In
ternal Revenue, it was pointed out
last week.
Form 6 may be obtained from the
Internal Revenue Department on APP
plication, and this form must be
filed to make possession of any such
weapon legal. Furthermore, trans
fers of such trophies to other own
ership can only be accomplished by
the payment of a fee of 5000, it is
learned.
1t costs nothing to register your
gun or pistol, but the law is so en-
acted to make it difficult for thugs
and gunner to get hold of weapons
which were originally intended as
souvenirs of battle.

SOME COOK!

A very efficient, 24-year-old
Hagerstown office secretary,
during her mothers absence
from home, decided to fry her
self a couple of eggs for lunch.
So she got out the frying
pan, dropped in little
fat, opened up the refrigera-
tor, extracted two eggs, crack
ed them neatly into the pan,
lit the gas and was soon en-
joying her lunch.
The next day, proudly tell
ing her mother of her exploit,
our heroine remarked that the
eggs had a very "chickeny"
taste, to which her mother re-
piled, what did you fry them
in?' THAT fat over there" was
the reply.
When her mother could stop
laughing long enough, she
pointed out that chat fat over
there" was a bowl of chicken
gravy
Fortunately there had been
some fat in the frying pan,
otherwise our heroine would
have badly burned her moth
er's favorite frying pan, to say
nothing Of couple of perfect
ly good eggs.
