Elliot Lawrence
And Band Coming
To Play In Franklin Court Au-
ditorium Thursday Night Oc-
tober II.

One reason why 21-year-old Elliot
Lawrence, who brings his band to
Franklin Court auditorium on Thurs
day night, October II, for your dane
ing pleasure, has made the most SEN
sational and talked about debut in
the music business, is his close asso-
citation with the youngsters who flock
to theatres, bathrooms and hotels
where his band might be playing
The majority of kids who pay their
way into these spots are in the high
school or college sets, or between
Is and "a years old. Lawrence, who
can be taken by anyone as 'one
of the mob, makes it point to
circulate around a bit before he takes
the stand to get an idea of what
the people want and expect. Then
too, it wasn't too long that Elliot
was schoolboy plugging away at
the University of Pennsylvania.
Lawrence and his band scored one
of the big triumphs of the year at
the Hotel Pennsylvania in New
York recently, and then went on to
insure a long series of engagements
at the famed Meadowbrook in Cedar
Grove, N. J. where he played follow
ing his New York debut.
Featuring odd dance band instru-
ments like oboe, french horn, bassoon
and englis hhorn, Lawrence has com
bined the run-of- the-nill styles of
present-day name bands with his
own ideas in music. The results have
been a boon to youngsters who were
tired of average arrangements by
average bands with average tastes.
Little by little, Lawrence is dropping
whatever remnants of more othodox,
though boring, music may be left
and is making his colleagues in band
leading start a frenzied search for
something different.

With Europe's hungry, homeless,
ill-clad millions facing what is
described by competent observers as
their worst winter, thus far, the
Washington County Council of
Church Women has undertaken
project of both magnitude and i'm
portance - the collection of desper-
ately needed clothing, bedding and
shoes for overseas relief during the
months of October and November.
While the statewide drive is being
conducted by the Church World
Service Center, at New Windsor, Md,
one of the largest receiving and
shipping depots in the country, it is
nationwide in scope, since the dis
continuance of UNNRA in January
makes it imperative that church
groups redouble their efforts.
At meeting last week, Mrs. Rich
ard o. Whitelegg was appointed
general chairman Of the local drive
and Miss Mararette Gordon, CORES
ponding secretary. From Miss Cor
don's office a letter has gone out to
women's groups of all HagerstoWn
churches, which reads in part:
'The effectiveness of the drive will
depend on the hearty cooperation of
the churches, and we are request
ing you to see that the collection
is given publicity in your particular
church, through the bulletin, from
the pulpit, and in various organiza-
tions such as the church school and
the Womens groups.
Zone person should be appointed
to take responsibility for this work
in your church and her name sent
to Mrs Richard o. Whitelegg, 152
East irwin Avenue.
Each church will serve as a col
lection center for its own members
and should provide cartons or con-
tainers for the articles contributed,

Kiwanis Observes
Newspaper Week

AS they have done for many
years, Kiwanis international last
week observed National Newspaper
Week, with all clubs in the United
States and Canada putting on special
programs at their weekly luncheon
meetings, to mark the occasion.
The Hagetstown Club, of which
Arley c. Sica is president, had, as
guests at its meeting last Thursday,
the local editors - C. NELL Baylor,
managing editor of the Herald-Mail
Publishing Co., ]. Garvin Hager, edi-
tor of the Daily Mail, and H. S.
Douglas, editor of The GlobeIn-
dependent The program was in
charge of Herman B. Hopes chair
man of the committee on arrange
ments, who, after introducing the
local guests presented the speaker
for the occasion, Max Fullerton, chief
of the bureau of the Associated Press
in Maryland and West Virginia.
Mr.. Fullerton, after briefly out
lining the services rendered by a
newspaper to the community it
serves, told his audience that the
existence of the Iron Curtain"
which has so effectively hidden from
the rest of the world the true state
of affairs in Russia and its many
satellite states, is very definite
hindrance to lasting peace, and
stated that unless some means can
be found to raise the curtain" so
that all nations could have free
and uncensored news, thus doing
away with the suspicious and fears
that exist today, the fear of future
war would always be in the ofing.

HAD ENOUGH?
VOTE REPUBLICAN!

The effectiveness of The slogan
lies in the facts that:
l. The result of the elections on
November 5-county, state and ma
tional-depends, to a large extent,
on how many people have had
enough.
2. The slogan has a natural APP
peal to everyone - Democrats and
Republicans alike-whO, for some
reason or another, have had enough
of the New Deal, which has eX-
tended far beyond national govern
ment and seeped into the govern
ment of the states, cities and coun-
ties as well.
It appeals to the housewife who
has to pay ninety-one cents a pound
for butter, right here in Hagers-
town
It appeals to the man of the house
who comes home at night, tired
and hungry, expecting to sit down
to thick, juicy steak, but finds,
instead, a mess of fish, or anything
else his harassed wife has been able
to buy, after spending hours in a
fruitless search for a decent piece
of meat.
It appeals to the thousands and
thousands of men and women who
have had enough of useless, sense
less, labor conflicts, which in the
majority of cases, benefit no one
but the labor bosses-labor bosses
that the New Deal has made drunk
with power"
In other words, it appeals to the
countless thousands, throughout the
length and breadth of the land, who
are forced to the conclusion that
things couldn't be worse, but might
be better under Republican rule.

Kuhn Will Be Released
In Germany Tomorrow
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

FRANKFURT, April 24.-Fritz
Kuhn, fuehrer of the German Amer
lean Volksbund, will be released by
the United States Army from a
German internment camp tomorrow
morning.
Chastened by long confinement
and troubled by heart illness,
Kuhn was declared to be mot a
threat" to American occupation
forces in Germany.
He was expected to proceed di-
rectly to Munich, where his wife
and two children live in a bomb
damaged house.
A statement today by Gen. Joseph
T. McNarney's headquarters said
Kuhn "is an unknown figure in Ger
many and his health and spirit are
broken"
In Jail since 1899, Kuhn served
more than three years in prison in
the United States for embezzlement
of bund funds. Immediately after
completing his sentence he was in
termed at Crystal City, Tex, and a
year later lost his American citizen
ship.
He was deported in September,
1945, to ruined Germany, country
he had left in 1922.
