County Council Of
Churches To Meet
Rev. Willis r. Ford To Be
Guest Speaker - Meeting To
Be Held Monday Night At
Christ's Reformed Church.

The Rev. Willis R. Ford, Execu-
tive Secretary of the Maryland
Delaware Council of Churches, will
speak on "The Challenge of Co
operative Christian Work in Wash
ington County" at the reorganization
meeting Of the Washington County
Council of Churches and Christian
Education, which will be held in
Christ's Evangelical and Reformed
Church on Monday evening at $50
p. m.
Dinner will be served by ladies
of the church, of which the Rev
Frederick Eyster is pastor, and greet
ings from the State Council of
Churches will be extended by the
Rev. Dr. John L. Deaton, president
Of the State organization and pas
tor of Christ's Lutheran Church,
Baltimore.
The reorganization meeting in no
sense represents a new movement,
according to Rev. Raymond Miller,
president of the Washington County
Church Council, since the County
Council has been operating efficient
ly for many years. There has been,
however, a desire on the part of
many clergymen and lay people of
the county to enlarge the work of
the Council and this meeting is the
first step in that program.
Invitations have been sent to every
church in the county to unite in the
program.

McKeIdin Talks To
Two Local Groups
Republican Party Stops Here
On Western Maryland Tour.

An enthusiastic Republican group,
headed by Herman L. Mills, presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce,
welcomed Mayor Theodore R. Nc
Keldin of Baltimore, the Republican
nominee for Governor, when he
and his party paid visit to Ha-
gerstoWn on Tuesday, on their swing
through Western Maryland.
During their stay here Mayor Nc
Keldin addressed two gatherings-a
group of veterans and other young
men at the Hotel Alexander, and
the members of the Optimist Club
at the Hotel Alexander.
The Republican standard bearer,
in his address before the young
mems group, fired the opening gun
in his political campaign in this
section. Explaining that at a later
date he and his running mates will
debate the points at stake in the
coming election point by point,
Mr. McKeldin told his hearers that
they musts have absolute confidence
in the integrity and character Of the
men for whom they vote, and that:
eve need those who did the fighting
during the war to see that we now
get the things that we fought for"
Other speakers at the meeting
were: Congressman J. Glenn Beall,
candidate for reelection; George c.
Doub, candidate for Attorney Gen
eral; and Alexander Grier candidate
for Comptroller.
At the Optimist Club meeting,
Mayor McKeldin delighted his aud
fence with a strictly non-politioal
address, replete with those many
stories in the telling or which the
Mayor is a past master.

Unique Exhibition
Opens At Museum
Thirty-four Paintings From
Homes In Washington County
To Be Shown - Exhibition
Opens AT 8 O'clock Tonight.

Why so much anticipation awaits
a local activity is not known. Take
exhibitions for example. The Wash
ington County Museum in the City
Park can bring priceless canVases
by the dozen from metropolitan gal
leries to HagerstoWn. It's public is
very interested always, and thor
oughly enjoys the pleasure and eX-
liberation of the famous art. But
such exhibits never offer the electric
feeling of anticipation stirred up
by art from our own locality. Such
an exhibition will open at the
Museum this evening (Thursday).
The exhibition title is a long one:
From the Walls of Homes in Wash
ington County" but it perfectly de
scribes the exhibit and its contents.
The Museum has sought to bring
together into one show a CrOss-sec-
ton of the finest art in the homes
of our County. The paintings are not
necessarily by local artists - though
it will delight spectators to find what
local artists have done in the past;
nor are they intended to demonstrate
past historical Importance - though
there will be a great variety of the
finest quality of such material. The
exhibit, indeed, has the simple aim
to give public appreciation to the
cultural life art brings to the home.
The paintings, in turn, will bring
a great deal of pleasure of artistic
and historical merit to every visitor.
Gilbert Stuart is probably the best
known of the artists represented and
the exhibit will contain two of his
paintings. In addition, there will be
paintings by Rembrandt Peale,
Thomas Sully, J. B. Bordley, Alfred
Jacob Miller, William Washington,
and others, along with host of valu
able, although anonymous, canvases.
In all thirty-four paintings of por-
traits and landscapes have been as
sembled. In beauty, variety, and
quality, they should surprise even
the oldest resident. 1t will be an exhi-
bition to repay all the anticipation
of residents, and will be of a calibre
to reflect great credit on Washington
County.
The public is cordially invited to
the opening at the Museum, from
8 to 10 p. m. tonight. The exhibition
will continue on public display
through November 3rd. The doors
are open from 10 a. m. to p, m.
each weekday, except Mondays and
on Sundays and holidays from l to
6 p. m.
