A most important precaution
against rabies is to keep a dog
under observation for two weeks
after a person has been bitten.
This statement was made by
County Health Officer, DR.. V. l..
Ellicott, following the report of a
child bitten on the lip, on Sunday.
1t is a great mistake, he said, to
kill the dog or scare him away.
If the dog is kept alive for two
weeks and remains well, this
proves that the dog was not ra-
bid, and proves that the child
needs no treatment or needs
only one week of treatment in
case of face lite.
In the case cited someone at
tempted to kick the dog to drive
him away, and since the dogs
owner was unknown, there was
fear that he would never be
found. Fortunately his owner was
found the next day and the dog
has been placed under ID day OBJ
servation.

By'H. S. Douglas

Hagerstown Rally were made, lost
no time in getting to the meat of
the present campaign - conditions
in our own Free State of Maryland.
He spoke of the deplorable condi-
ton of the State roads and reminded
his listeners that these same roads
once the pride of Maryland-were
now about the worse in the entire
nation But worse still, if left to
the program just recently announc-
ed by Governor O'Connor, it would
be matter of some thirty years
before the States roads would be
really fit to travel over.
Turning to the important ques-
tions of schools, Mr.. McKeldin
pledged himself to fight for mini
mum teachers salary of $4,000 a
year, and to back any legislation
that would provide better school
buildings and facilities throughout
the State.
The Mayor also advocated state
aid for volunteer firemen injured in
the line of duty.
Congressman Beall, who like
Mayor McKeldin, received a ire
mendOus ovation, effectually squelch-
ed the Democrats red herring" that
the Republicans were responsible for
the shortage of meat - and every
other shortage as we'll. The Congress
man just pointed out that the Demo-
Gratis and New Dealers had 245
members in the House as against
the Republicans 1875, and that in the
Senate the Democrats and New
Dealers had Sc members while the
Republicans had only 49, How then,
asked Mr.. Beall could the Republi-
cans be blamed for a So-called bad
OPA law, which was passed by a
Congress with a Democrat New Deal
majority in both, branches.
In brief speeches (kept brief at
the request of the toastmaster) Mr..
Doub and Mr.. Grier reminded the
huge crowd that America was found
ed on the two-party system, but
that here in the State of Maryland,
the people, with one brief four-year
interlude, had been under the thumb
Of a one-party system. When that
happens the speakers pointed out, it
often resulted in abuse of too much
power - the very thing the Fathers
of our Country tried to guard against
when they framed the Constitution.
Following the speeches, a good
old-fashoned Republican chin fest
was held, with enthusiasm running
high, for everyone very definitely
sensed a real Republican Victory on
November 5 - straight down the
line.

AS far as this reporter is concern
ed, two fachs stood out like a
sore thumb at the Republican Rally
and Ok Roast held at the Fairgrounds
on Saturday afternoon. The size and
the real enthusiasm of the crowd and
the high plane on which the rally
was kept.
More than two thousand were
present - l made no accurate
count" but l do know that each
section of the fairgrounds grand
stand holds 400 and that nearly
three sections were filled Ito say
nothing of an almost equal number
standing in front of the grandstand)
- and they were chock full of en-
thusiasm and continually interrupt
ed the speakers with their cheers
and applause.
Scattered through the crowd too,
were a goodly number of Democrats
i wouldn't know whether they
were attracted by the thought of
getting an honest to goodness beef
sandwich, after being deprived of it
so long because of the New Deal
Administration failure to admins
ter the laws that same Administra-
ton had placed on the statute books,
or whether they just plain Had
Enough" But whatever the reason,
they unquestionably were there.
Then too, when the time for the
speechmaking came, you didn't lind
the speakers indulging in mud sling
ing and muck raking. There was no
sign of personal attacks on individ-
ual Democrat opponents. Just
straightforward and undeniable evil
dence of the mismanagement of the
affairs Of government by the Demo-
cratic Administrations in both An
napolis and Washington.

ton County candidates Gall of whom
were loudly applauded), presented

in with the new fve-cent air mail
service, which went into effect on
the first of the month
Thomas M. Simpson, postmaster of
the Hagerstown Post Office, an
nounced yesterday that air mail
volume at the local office has already

be remembered that, today, there
isn't city in the United States that
cannot be reached by air mail with

The new air mail rate of five
cents an ounce also applies on mail
to Canada and Mexico and to all
mail addressed to Army and Fleet

HagerstoWn High
Honors Navy Day
Student Body Plays Host To
Fifty Veterans Enrolled In
School.

Ahty NCNCA oAAS LII OACu hf
School.
The High School band, under the
direction of Alec Condarius, opened
the successful Navy Day assembly
at HIS. Monday morning, with a
delightful arrangement of Anchors
Aweigh, The Marine Hymn, and
other Navy songs. Flags were every
where - designed to make the audi
forum represent a ship in full
dress" The flags, from the U. S. S.
Texas, were loaned by the local
Navy Recruiting Office.
When the student body was seat
ed, the band played snappy march
and the veterans - all SO of them
marched into the auditorium from
the rear and up on the stage, salut-
ing their officer, Calvin Sheeler, also
a veteran (who had an equal rat
ing with them, but who was act
ing as their superior officer for this
occasion), saluting the American
flag and then taking their places on
the stage.
After a dress right" and an cat
tention" from officer Sheeler, the
Navy hymn, Eternal Father Strong
To Save" was sung by the entire
group of veterans. In demonstra-
ton on how bells are used in the
Navy to tell time, James Todd rang
-four bells" which in our language
meant 10 o'clock. Robert Smith blew
the boatswain's pipe - sound all
hands" hate to hear, as Calvin
Sheeler so clearly emphasized.
welcome to Navy Day. was work
ed out in semaphore flag signals by
Signalcorpsmen Harry Monninger
and Garland Harbaugh. Then came
the introduction of the veterans,
which was followed by the Navy
Day Proclamation by Edward
Crowther and the explanation of the
Navy uniform, or monkey suit as
it is called in Navy slang, by Paul
Rodeffer.
A number of veterans told some
interesting experiences while serv-
Ii5s, in the Navy. Some of the boys
were: Kenneth Evans, who told
about the taking of naval base
Bremerhaven in the European
Theatre of war; Charles Morrison
who told about Two Jima; Robert
Hammond, who related his expert
ences during the typhoon al
Okinawa; and Clarence Powell, who
served in the Navy Air Force fol-
three years.
The highlight of the program was
when the Navy guys gave their
version of Bell Bottom Trousers.
While the veterans sang the song
Leonard Huber, Robert Ditto, George
Auxt, and Roy CLANCY demonstrate
ed just what happened when sailor
got shore leave. George Auxt and
Roy CLANCY played the parts OF
the girls, while the other two were
their boy friends. Believe it or not
in five minutes the quartet was
paired off, each couple were married
and pushing wheel barrows (tak-
ing the place of baby carriages)
around, with babies David Cianelli
and Clarence Powell, in them.
The whole program was prepared
and presented by the veterans en-
rolled in Hagerstown High School

Sugar Stamps 9 & 10
Good Thru Nov. 80

The Office of Price Administra-
ton has announced that sugar can
ming stamps 9 and 10, each good for
five pounds of sugar, originally
scheduled to expire on October 81,
will remain valid through November
80.
This action was taken, the OPA
said, due to the shortage of sugar
in this and other areas, which pre-
vented the use of the coupons be-
fore the original expiration date
The regular sugar stamp, No. 81,
will, of course, remain valid through
December 81.

<SSsessfsess''s''s'S
The New Deal Administration has,
for the umpteenth time, again bow
ed the knee to John L. Lewis -
and although the Democrats, in des-
peration have tried to blame the
Republicans for all the New Deals
tragic plumbers, there just isn't any
way they can lay the blame for
the spot Lewis has put them on, at
the doorsteps of the Republican
Party.
| don't think anyone believes that
tomorrow's meeting between Lewis
and the Administrations representa-
tives will be anything but temper
airy stop gap, since it is perfectly
obvious that Lewis strategy is to
embarrass the Administration just
before election and it is just as
obvious that the Administration is
trying to smooth things over until
after the election Which brings up
quite an idea.
Since the Democratic Administra-
ton, who seized the mines from
the owners last Spring and have
been operating them ever since, are
running into their own troubles with
Lewis and his United Mine Workers,
why not let the United Nations take
over the mines from the U. S. Gov
eminent?
And, if that should happen,
wouldn't it be perfectly natural for
the United Nations to name Molotov
as Administrator of the mines!
l have been predicting in this
column for several weeks that the
elections next Tuesday would be
plenty close, with the outcome de-
pending on the size of the Republi
can trend and, as far as the state
and national races are concerned,
the Baltimore city vote, which has
a habit of being unpredictable I'M
til the last minute.
But, judging from the frantic -
and often ridiculous-charges now
being hurled at the Republican
candidates by the Democrats cam
paign headquarters and the Demo
cratic press, the boys must be plenty
worried
And talking about ridiculous
charges that story published in the
Baltimore Sun on October %, under
the by-line of Thomas O'Neill, to
the effect that the Republican Party,
after having conducted spot checks
and door-to-door canvassing of pros
pective voters, were convinced that
they have no hope Of carrying Bal
timore, really took the cake
Part of the story was carried by
the Daily Mail under a Baltimore
date line. But the Daily Mail failed
to tell its readers where the story
originated, or that it was a signed
article by a political writer.
And while l am on the subject of
reporting, how come that the Daily
Mail, in reporting the candidates
endorsed by the Central Labor
Union, A. F. of L., failed to men
ton that the Labor Union endorsed
Congressman J. Glenn Beall and at
least two other Republican candi-
dates drumming on the county ticket.
The Daily Mail story also stated
that the Labor Union endorsed Gov
ernor O'Conor for the U. S. Senate,
but when Lester Lushbaugh, presi-
dent of the Union, gave me the list
of endorsed candidates, that list very
plainly stated that the Union was
neutral in the u. S. Senate Race.
