ings thel were only portrayed in the
most mental or criminal capacities
Paintings, according to DIR. Goris,
were done entirely on commission
artists never painted anything
simply because they wanted to and
their works were therefore, less an
expression of the artist himself than
a tribute to the patron who, with his
family, was invariably shown in the
most fiattering postures of heroism
or religious devotion.
The pictures shown were beauti-
fully filmed in sepia, with concise
and informative commentary and eff
fective musical backgrounds. The
sepia tone of the film was attractive,
but most Of the audience was heard
wishing that they might have been
done in the richness of their color
and many paid DR.. Goris the compli-
ment of expressing regret that he
had not done the commentary.
DR.. Goris is one of the most dis
tinguished foreigners to have been
presented to Hagerstown audience
and his scholarly lecture was en-
livened by wit and charm.
The Flemish Primitives made a
fascinating contrast to the Singer
Exhibit, IN which not single figure
appears. William Singer, in his
amazing beautiful canvasses cap
tured the lonely grandeur of Nature
in sunshine, rain, mist and snow,
with a poetic quality that must have
been as. much the reflection of his
own soul, as the Flemish Primitives
are a reflection of the brooding dark
ness of the Middle Ages.
In the Singer Exhibit, and the ap-
pearance of DR.. Goris, the public is
indebted to the Museum for two
events of real distinction.

Scout Leaders Meet
To Discuss Camping
Washington County District
Committee Of Boy Scouts
Organization See Films Of Old
And New Camps.

The regular quarterly meeting of
the Washington County District of
the Boy Scout organization was held
at Woodland Way Junior High
School on Thursday night, with A
Lesley Gardner, Chairman of the
District, presiding.
In his Introductory remarks the
chairman stressed the need of adj
vancement in rank by the Scouts
of the District, pointing out that
Scouts do not stand still--they
either advance in Scouting or they
lost interest and do something else.
Mr.. Gardner then explained that
with the summer months coming on,
the thoughts of all Scouts and Scout
ers naturally turn to camp, and for
that reason the rest of the meeting
would be devoted to that subject.
Through the courtesy of J. B.
Ferguson, who back in 1927 became
the first president of the Washington
County Council (now known as the
Washington Area CounciD, moving
pictures of Camp Sinoquipe, the first
camp site for Scouts in this area,
were then shown.
The pictures, which show the
growth of Camp Sinoquipe from an
undeveloped tract of land to a fully
equipped Scout Camp, were taken
by Mr.. Ferguson, who has gener-
ously donated them to the Scout
Council as the nucleus of a film
library of Scouting in this area.
Following the film, the leaders
were then shown a series of pictures
of activities during the 1945 season
of camping at Cowans Gap, where
the Council will set up camp again
this summer.
To bring the leaders up to date
on what is being done by the diff
ferent Troops in the way of camp
ing, a five-minute film was then
shown, depicting the camp activities
of Troop 2 sponsored by st. Paul'S
United Brethren church, at their
own Troop camp.
The rest of the meeting was given
over to discussion on the proposed
new permanent camp site at Fort
Littleton. This discussion was led
by Fred Wright, Jr., Chairman of

Spring Tailoring Of Hedges

HEDGES of delicious shrubs
need particular attention In the
early spring. II Is generally a
good plan before growth starts
to cut the hedge back to a little
less than the height desired.
Then. after the new growth Is
well started, trim II back again
to encourage 1t TO all out at the
sides and to control growth that
Is too rank.
The frequency with which "a
hedge should be pruned during
the growing season depends upon
the type Of hedge and weather
conditions. Privet hedges need to
to be trimmed several times each
season. japanese barberry, on the
other hand. needs very little cut
ting.
The right and the wrong way
to trim a hedge Is shown in the
