County Returns
Here in Washington County, the

power for another four years seemed
certain on the basis of unofficial re-
turns from 81 of the county's SO

These returns show that:
D. K. Mclaughlin has won the
State Senate seat over Brewer Stout

Martin L. Ingram has been re-
elected States Attorney.
Harry Newcomer again becomes

In the contest for County Commits

To Retain Rent
Control Office Here
Other OPA Business To Be
Handled Through District Of
6ce In Baltimore.

Mr.. Franklin M. Thomas, chair
man of the Price Control Board at
Hagerstown, serving Washington
County, today gave the following
information as to the future conduct
of the OPA business:
l. Trade and consumer inquiries
about price control formerly handled
by Price Control Boards should be
addressed to the OPA District Office,
1000 O'Sullivan Buildin, Baltimore
2.
2. Certificates of transfer cover
ing sales of used passenger automo-
biles by individuals may be obtained
from principal. auto dealers. Dealers
should request additional supplies
from the OPA Regional Mail Order
Center at 201 Varick Street, New
York City-14
3. Sugar rationing has been adj
ministered from the District Office
in Baltimore since last January. In
the future, sugar forms required by
the trade and consumers may be OBJ
tanned from the District Office.
4. Pending compliance actions by
the board will be transferred to the
District Office.
5. The local board office was
closed for the transaction of public
business on November 4. However,
the paid clerical personnel will con-
tinue on duty during the"month of
November, in order to transfer rec
ordS to the District Office and to
perform the many other duties in
volved in closing the board
6. Supervision of rent control will
be administered as in the past. The
Hagerstown rent office will continue
to service Washington and Frederick
Counties.
This step marks the conclusion
of almost five years of unprecedent-
ed patriotic service by many citi-
zens of our area who, through their
thousands of hours of volunteer
work, have prevented infationary
dangers from taking effect, and saw
that their neighbors had an equal
right to their fair share of COM
modities during the days of ration
ing" Mr.. Thomas said.
Members of our Price Control
Boards stayed on the job for more
that a year after the end of the war.
Production has had chance to catch
up with the demand. Now that Presi-
dent Truman has announced the
program for accelerating the remain
ing wartime controls, Price Admins
traitor Paul A. Porter has determined
that the remaining functions OF
local boards can be continued by the
District Office at Baltimore"

Martial Singher
Scores Big Success

ANSA(A S0AA AOAS AAANNS
i've Performance Before Capac-
ity Audience In First Civic Mu-
sic Concert.
Martial Singher, one of the finest
baritones to come to America from
Europe in recent years, gave an i'm
preSsive performance before a capac-
iy audience at the Hagerstown
High School Auditorium last Mon
day evening, in the first of the Civic
Music Associations 1946-47 concerts.
Singing with the poise and dignity
Of the accomplished artist, Mr.. Sing
her presented a program which de-
lighted his music-loving hearers. Al
though his opening selection was
marred by a slight harshness of
tone, once Mr.. Singher had gotten
into his program, the beauty and
expreSsiveneSs of his voice became
apparent.
"Amarilli,' by Caccini, gave the
artist an opportunity to display the
lovely tenor notes of his voice.
Gluck's aria from 'Iphigenie en- Au-
ide," sharp contrast to the pre-
eeding piece, was sung with depth
and fire not often found in singers.
The first number in this first section
was "Tambourin."
The group of serenades which fol-
lowed provided one of the high
lights of the evening. The opening
aria, from Mozarts Don Giovanni"
and Schubert's "Staendchen. !"
brought out Mr.. Singher's superb
expressive qualities. Next Mr.. Sing
her sang Berioz's aria from LA
Damnation de Faust" "Devant la
Maison," and the ironic satire and
taunting dash of Mephistofeles rang
out through the auditorium, through
the medium of Mr.. Singher's voice.
Gounod's Serenade and the demand
ing Songs and Dances of Death Ser
enata," by Moussorgsky, followed.
The gay ''Vergebliches Staendchen,"
by Brahms, closed the first half of
the program.
''The Evening STAR" from Tam
hauser, opened the second half and
this familiar aria has never been
sung more effectively than it was by
Mr.. Singher, and Massenet's f'Vision
Fugitive" in the same tone, was
hauntingly beautiful.
Three short songs by Duparc,
Faure, and Ravel respectively, led
up to three gypsy songs in Eng
lish by Dvorak. The quiet sincerity
Of Mr.. Singher's rendition of these
numbers held his audience. The pro-
gram was concluded by the singing
Of Posford's 'The World is Mine
Tonight"
The enthusiastic audience persuad-
ed Mr.. Singher to deliver 2 encores,
Ravel's 'Nicolette." an enchanting
little number, and "Advant de Quat-
ter" from Goundo's Faust, magnific-
emily sung.
