Photography Class
At Newton D. Baker
Patients At Martinsburg Hos
pital Receive Instructions From
Joseph Cromwell.

The second of a series of instruc-
tions in amateur photography was
presented to a group of patients at
the Newton d. Baker General Hos
pital, by Joseph Cromwell last week.
A volunteer project, the informal
sessions for the wounded are the
outgrowth of a Red Cross dinner last
autumn, at which Major Spaulding
spoke on the need for the men to
develop hobbies to keep their hands
constantly busy and their morale at
a consequently higher point.
Most of the men interested in
photography are paraplegic cases,
permanently paralysed on both sides
of the lower half of the body. Bar
red for the rest of their lives from
normal activities, the men most of
whom are in their early twenties,
are according to Mr.. Cromwell. in
terested and responsive to hobbies
which give promise of occupying the
long hours and bringing in some
small remuneration.
Toward this latter end, Mrs.
Cromwell followed her husbands
review of the first photography les
son, with a demonstration of photog-
raphy coloring.
Lighting and camera angles were
discussed and when the equipment
was set up the men wheeled them
selves up to the camera and photo
graphed their own pictures from a
living model.
Other local men who have volun-
teered for this project and who have
previously served at the hospital in
clude: A. Lesley Gardner, Arthur
c. Harbaugh, John Shockey and
Frank Bowers. One class was held
last month and, according to Lieu
tenant Grant of the hospital staff,
two more classes are planned for
the near future.

Door to Door Selling
To Be Investigated
Chamber Of Commerce Sets
Up Committee For Protection
Of Hagerstown Householders.

The prevalence of door-to-door
solicitors, many of whom have vic
timized the public with rackets of
various sorts, has lead the Chamber
of Commerce to set-up three-man
committee to investigate all solici-
tors operating in Hagerstown.
Designed primarily for the protec-
ton of householders, the committee
will, according to Chamber Secretary
Robert Dean, investigate the legality
and validity of both products and
firms purported to be represented by
solicitors, as well as the Worthiness
of causes presented in door-to-door
canvassing.
Mr.. Dean stated that number of
complaints have been received, some
involving large sums of money, from
housewives who, in these days of
more or less general affiuence, have
proved particularly susceptible to
fy-by might schemes.
For their own protection the
Chamber of Commerce strongly
urges that all people step to the
telephone and contact the Chamber
the number is 2015-before donat-
ing to any cause or signing any sort
of contract. If the solicitor has been
cleared by the Chamber well and
good. If not the housewife may safe
ly assume that he is questionable.
Retailers are protected from SINH
lar nuisances by a committee from
the Retailers Bureau and the Cham
Der of Commerce hopes that house
holders protect themselves also, by
taking advantage of this new COM
munity service.

Noted Theologian Speaks On
'New Light On Ancient Scrip
ture."

A large crowd was in attendance
at the service sponsored by the
Washington County Council of
Churches and Christian Education,
held in recognition of the Revised
Standard Version of the New Tesla
ment, at St. PauTs Methodist Church,
North Potomac Street, on Sunday
evening.
Rev, G. Aubrey Young presided
over the opening portion of the
service and the choir of st. PauPs
church sang "Lo, a Voice to Heaven
Sounding" by Bortniansky.
The evening lesson, taken from
Hebrews lib, was first read in
the Greek translation, by Rev.
Clarence Tucker Craig, Phi. D., D. D.
who was to later deliver the adj
dress of the evening. The Rev. Ray
mond M. Miller, of Funkstown, then
read the same passage of scripture
in the Latin Vulgate. Rev. Dr. w.
M. Norment followed with the Tyn-
dale reading (the first translation
into the English tongue).
The Rev. DR.. Scott R. Wagner
then read the King James version,

on the Standard Bible Revision COM
mittee, spoke on, New Light on

pointed out that although the New
Authorized Standard Version of the
New Testament was now available,
it would be 1850 before the COM
mittee on the Old Testament would
have completed their translation,
thus making the complete modern
version of the Bible. The speaker
also pointed out that this was in
no sense of the word to be construed
as New Bible, but rather trans

When the budget was made up at

of $4,000 was earmarked for school
maintenance work, but it was found
that SO much repair was necessary
in the county schools that the
original appropriation was not
sufficient.

, the drivers seat as far as the NOM
ination for governor was concerned.
Brooke Lee was backing him, How
ard Bruce was also in his corner and
Senator Tydings, although not COM
hitting himself; was also believed to
be friendly.
But, with the entry of Congress
man Baldwin into the race, the pict-
ure has changed entirely.
Howard Bruce has swung over to
Baldwin; Congressman Sasscer is
openly supporting him; Arthur
Brice, Phil Dorsey and Clarence and
Hooper Miles have climbed aboard
the so-called Baldwin bandwagon,
and John White, candidate for At
torney General is also believed to
have lined up with the Baldwin
faction.
But-and its very big but-such
leaders as Senator Tydings and At
torney General Curran are saying
absolutely nothing, which seems to
me to be a very strong indication
that a favorite candidate has not
yet been decided on.
From my column of February Ia
The entry of J. Willard Tawes
into the Gubernatorial race, which
confirms prediction made in this
column months ago, has resulted in
such favorable reaction from Demo-
Gratis all over the State, that there
is certain to be a rush to climb
aboard the Tawes band wagon.
AS a matter of fact, the rush is
already on, for the office of Mr..
Tawes is literally being deluged
with congratulatory telegrams-from
both party groups and individuals.
$50
From my column of April
It's a known fact that the private
and confidential poll made by Sena-
tor Tydings (and first mentioned in
this column) was mainly responsible
for Tawes entering the race.
When the Senator mailed out his
QUESTIONABLE, the name of j. Mil
lard TaWes was not even on it, be-
cause at that time Mr.. Tawes had
announced that he would seek re-
election as State Comptroller, but
and it is very big but-when the
replies started coming in, Senator
Tydings found that the majority of
those replies had ignored the pos
sible gubernatorial timber mention
ed in the QUESTIONABLE and had
pumped for Tawes as the logical
Democratic candidate.
Realizing that Tawes had such ire
mendous backing throughout the
State, Senator Tydings and Attorney
General Curran persuaded him to
file, and, since the date of his filing,
his strength has grown by leaps and
bounds. In fact many leaders in the
Democratic Party claim that right
now Tawes has enough Convention
votes to assure his nomination.
And there you have it. Senator
Tydings and Attorney General Cur
ran, recognized Democratic political
leaders in the State, anxious to keep
Maryland in the Democratic column,
and having given first, Mr.. Lane,
and second Mr.. Baldwin, an oppor-
tunity to show their strength, be-
came convinced that the Democratic
Party couldn't win the election with
either one of them, but that the
Party could win with Tawes, and so
they threw their support to him.
AS a result, the hackers of the
gentlemen who had their chance to
show their strength-but couldn't
are now calling Curran and Tyd-
ings, bold, bad men - If that isn't
sour grapes, what is?
