joining Counties May Now Be
Examined By Local Physicians.
In another move to better serve
state veterans, w. L. Limburg, Vet
Grams Administration giona
Manager, announced this week that
pension claim examinations under
the jurisdiction of the Hagerstown
Sub-regional office will be conduct
ed by group of local physicians on
a contract basis, beginning April 29
Four counties - Frederick, Gar
rett, Washington and Allegany -
comprise the area supervised by the
Hagerstown Office.
Although this is the first time in
Maryland that pension medical ex-
aminations will be handled on a
contract basis, out-patient treatments
for established service connected
disabilities and some examinations
for disqualification in VA hospitals
have been authorized by the Balti-
more Regional Veterans Admins
tration Office in the Hagerstown
area. These, however, have been
made by physicians on a fee basis
as designated by the Baltimore Re
gional VA office. 1t was pointed out
that further expansion Of medical
activities is indicated in the near
future when a medical administra-
tive officer is permanently assigned
to the Hagerstown office.
Prior to the Inauguration of this
service, veterans living in those four
counties were examined for pension
purposes at the clinic of the Balti-
more Regional office, 1915 st. Paul
Street.
Mr.. Limburg stated that the use
of local contract physicians will I'M
doubtedly be of benefit to the vet
Grams, the physicians, and the COM
munity. because this service will now
be more readily available.
1t was explained that claim ex-
aminations may pertain to veterans
of any war, but it is felt that
majority of those scheduled by the
Hagerstown Office will be for World
War II veterans.
In most of these examinations,
X-Rays and clinical laboratory tests
will be included and complete
physical examinations will be given
inasmuch as these records are need
ed by Veterans Administration Rat
ing Boards in pension determine
tons. Doctors, who are specialists in
their fields, will usually conduct
these examinations.
The manager of the Hagerstown
Sub-regional Office, William w.
Baker, reports that six veterans have
been scheduled thus far for ex-
by local physicians in the |
initial week of the new program.

Reorganization Meeting Held
Last Week At Which Prelim-
mary Plans Were Made For
Fall Productions.

| ran EfOuuCtlOnSs
A reVered Hagerstown institution
which, like many another worth
while enterprise, was forced into
inactivity by the manpower shortage
during the war years, is undergoing
a rebirth with the Spring of 1916.
In short, the Potomac Players, who
have contributed largely to the en-
tertainment as well as the cultural
life of the community, are feeling
the pull of footlights again and if
their opening meeting Friday night
was any indication, the manpower
shortage is over and the long unused
boards at the Women's Club are
going to feel the tread of Thespian
feet, come Autumn.
The Friday night meeting was in
the nature of a get-together meeting
for old and new talent. During the
next few weeks, committees on play
reading, casting, staging and so forth,
will be appointed and the Playmak-
ers plan to go into their regular
four-play season in September.
The officers, who had just been
elected when the Playmakers were
compelled to suspend their activities
three years ago, are being carried
over, as is the board of directors, and
Charlie Lyon, who spoke on plans
for the forthcoming season, reported
a gratifying balance in the treasury.
Mrs. Charles L. Harris, president,
spoke briefly, welcoming newcomers.
She stated that the stage has been
completely rewired and new con-
troll board installed which will sim
plify lighting problems.
A number of stills from old pro-
auctions were shown and two color
movie films of "The Barker" and
East Lynn" drew delighted chuckIes
from the old standbys as well as the
younger talent present.
Among those long connected with
Playmakers activities present Friday
evening were: Miss Alberta Mobley,
Sidney Cushwa, Dorothy 10y Grice,
Mrs. James Wagaman, DR.. and Mrs.
Perry Prather, Lena Darner, Irene
Vedder, Margaret Mumma, Tom Cas-
sci, Amos Harper, Jordan Bean-the
latter three back from military SER
vice-and a number of others. as
well as some new recruits" from
the younger high school group.
Stressing the fact that the Play
makers are in no sense stock
company, given to using the same
people over and over again, Mrs.
Harris explained that they have al
ways welcomed new talent and the
membership includes all members of
the Womens' Club and all holders of
season tickets.
The delightful buffet supper that
concluded the evening gave an OBJ
portunity for visiting, and for those
to sign chart stating the
type of work they are interested in.
The 1946-47 officers include, in adj
dition to Mrs. Harris, Mrs. James
vice-president; Mrs. Riley

DANGERS FROM
CARBON GASES
Delaware Safety Council Urg.
es PrecautiOn Be Taken
Against Carbon MonOxide
is DEADLY GAS

With advent of cold weather, we
are reminded of the dangers from
carbon monoxide the deadly gas
which kills quickly without warn
ing if in large quantity. Even in
small quantities, it may induce
drowsiness or dizziness, causing a
fatal inattention on the highway.
Fresh air IS tie one sure safeguard
against it. After driving in sum-
mer with windows opep, we cringe
under the icy blasts of early win
ter. According to the Delaware
Safety Council. it is well to keep
II mind some of the following pre-
cautions to safeguard against this
deadly enemy:
1. Before starting your automo-
bile engine, open the garage doors
wide.
2. Never crawl under your car
while the engine is running.
3. Keep the engine in good con-
dition, with combustion as COM
plete as possible, by frequent in
spection, adjustment and repair.
4. Make sure that all parts of
the maniforld, exhaust pipe and the
muffler do not leak.
5. Be doubly careful to prevent
gas leaks through a manifold car
heater.
6. Never drive with all the win
dows of your car closed.
Z Sleepiness while driving may
indicate the presence of carbon
monoXide. Stop at once, get out
and walk about in the open air;
then drive with windows open.
8. Avoid following other auto
mobiles too closely; their exhaust
contains carbon monoxide which
may easily drift into your car.

The small tablets are boxed three

that the needed improvements be
expeditiously performed and that
a program is formulated so as to
achieve maximum benefits to the
motorists, to business, to the farm
er, and to the state as a whole.
Delaware's highway program has
been stified by the diversion of mo-
torists' taxes to unrelated purposes
and by the merging of these reven-
ues in the general fund. In coop
Grafton with other groups interest
ed in our highways, we intend to
continue our efforts in restoring
the highway fund, in prohibiting
the misuse of highway revenues in
the future by the enactment of
constitutional provision and to
urge the return of some of the di-
verted money to the highway fund
for highway purposes. Only by
these means can Delaware's high
way finances be re-established on a
sound basis without the loss of
federal aid monies and without
adding to our already excessive
highway debt" At the meeting,
the following officers were elected
for 1861: Chairman, Jesse A.
