Troop One Holds
Court Of Honor

Troop l, sponsored by st. Mary's
Catholic Church, held Troop Court
of Honor at the Scoutroom in St.
Mary's Parish House on Thursda.'
night.
Five members of the Troop Com
mittee were present, in addition to
Scoutmaster Bob Keller and Is
members of the Troop.
The Court opened with the Scout
Oath, led by Willie Murphy, after
which the Scoutmaster made the fol-
lowing awards:
Life Scout: Bill Stadtmiller.
First Glass: Joe Lizor.
Second Glass: Bill Murphy and
Jim Wilson.
A special 'Most Faithful Scout"
award was then presented to Bill
Stadtmiller for his fine record of
attendance, not only at the regular
meetings, but also on all endeavors
and projects sponsored by the Troop.
Following the Court of Honor, a
six weeks course in First Aid was
inaugurated by Mr.. David Hoover,
chairman of Red Cross First Aid in
the County and former Scoutmaster
of Troop l. Sound films are being
used to illustrate the course and Mr..
Hoover has promised the Troop an
added treat at tonight's meeting
the showing of actual films taken on
the Aircraft Carrier, Hornet.
The meeting closed with the
Pledge to the Flag, followed by the
Scoutmaster's Benediction.

down, can produce that kind of lead
ership which is close to the people,
and is the only kind of leadership
that can gain the confidence of the
people and produce victory at the
polls.
I have spent all my life in bust
ness. I can truthfully classify my
self as a novice when it comes to
politics. But if there is, as there APP
pears to be, a trend away from the
professional office seeker, towards a
candidate who would approach the
problems of our State Government
as a business man undertakes to
operate and manage efficiently, eco
nomically and humanely a success
full business enterprise with a fair
return to the owners, which in
State Government would be all of
the people of Maryland, then I feel
encouraged to assume the task which
has been rendered me.
To run for Governor of the State
of Maryland would entail a personal
sacrifice to me but l sincerely be-
ieve that every citizen of this State
has a responsibility and obligation
to the State in which he lives, earns
his livelihood, and raises his family.
Bad officials are often elected to
office by the good citizens who fail
to take an active interest in the
political affairs of their State. /
subscribe to that political philosophy
that ''to say that private men have
nothing to do with Government is
to say that private men have nothing
to do with their own happiness OIL
misery; that people ought not to
concern themselves whether they be
naked or clothed, fed or starved
deceived or instructed, protected OF
destroyed
| am accordingly filing my candi-
dacy for the Republican nomination
for Governor. I have been pledged
the support of those whom I sin
cerely believe represent a mapority
of the leaders within the COP
comprising all factions. That was
one of the conditions which pre-
scribed before I would accept the
call made upon me- Under no cir
cumstances would 1 become a candi-
date for any political faction. My
aim is the unifcation of the COP
in Maryland, into a militant anc
harmonious political party; to make
the COP. a party close to the
people; to win the Governorship fol
the Republican party in 1916, anc
to give the people of Maryland hon.
est, humane, efficient and business
like Government, a peoples Gov.
eminent, with special privileges fol
none.
This is my pledge to my party
this is my pledge to the people Of
Maryland.

Warren r. Smith
Has Joined F airchild
Named Public Relations Man
ager, McClanahan VIII Con-
tinue To Handle Publicity.

The appointment of Warren B.
Smith as public relations manager
of Fairchild Aircraft Division has
been announced by General Mana
ger R. S. Boutelle.
Mr.. Smith assumed his new duties
on January l, following his separa-
ton from the Army He is to de-
velop an overall program of public
relations in close coordination with
the Transport Sales Division, assist
ed by E. T. McClanahan, who will
handle publicity and special pro-
jects.
Serving overseas with the Ninth
Air Force from January, 1914, to
August, 1915, Mr.. Smith was sta
toned in southern England for nine
months as commanding officer of an
air force detachment, from which
post he was sent to France. In No
vember, 1914, he joined the Ninth
Air Force headquarters as assistant
public relations officer.
After his return to the United
States, Mr.. Smith was assigned to
the War Department Bureau of Pub
lie Relations as executive officer, Air
Forces Group.
He was indicted into the Army in
1941 and commissioned in Deem
Der, 1912. Prior to his enlistment,
the new public relations manager
was associated with New York
City public relations counsel, and the
Systems Division, New York office
of Remington Rand, Inc. His home
is in Higganum, Conn.

prominence and appreciation for his
endless and courageous fight against
bureaucratic Federal government.
In making his announcement, Mr..
Mills, who makes his home in Ha-
gerstown with his wife and son,
emphasized that it was not I'm
til he had received pledges of sup
port from those he sincerely believes
represent a majority of the leaders
within the G. o. P, that he decided
to enter the Gubernatorial race, as
under no circumstances would he
consent to be the candidate for any
political faction.
The following is the text of Mr..
Mills formal statement:
During the past months represen-
tative men and women of the Re-
publican party have called upon
me urging that I become a candi-
date for the Republican nomination
for Governor. They have pointed
out that unless an honest and sincere
effort were made to unite the var
ious factions of the COP. and free
it from the fractional strife which is
plaguing the Republican party in
Maryland there was grave danger
that Maryland might well become a
one party State. These men and
women, representing all the factions
within the COP. have shown their
willingness to bury their fractional
differences if only a standard bearer
were brought forth around whom all
the elements of the Party could
gather in harmony to the end that
the COP. in Maryland might be-
come militant, harmonious, and
progressive political force in this
State.
This Country has grown and de-
veloped into a great nation under
the two party system of Govern
ment. In spite of its many short
comings that system is the best ap-
proach yet to representative gov
eminent which has ever been de-
vised. For one political party to
completely dominate the political
affairs of a State with no opposition
party capable of giving forceful and
virile opposition, spells disaster
for the welfare of all of the people
of that State. The average citizen
has neither the time nor the knowl-
edge to probe into the affairs of an
incumbent administration to the end
that there be an enlightened public
opinion and that there be exposed
to public view any existence of
graft, corruption, traffic in legisla-
ton and other anti-social conditions
in general. Only virile opposition
party is equal to the task. All of
the people in the State reap the
benefits of the political existence of
such opposition
At one time major political con-
tests for State offices in Maryland
were comparatively neck to neck
races. Today registration in the
Republican party in Maryland at
tests the fact that the COP. has
retrogressed rather than marched
forward in increased strength. No
political party is greater than the
men and women who lead it. Real,
honest, virile leadership, which
springs from an expression of opin-
ion from the average citizen up
rather than from dictation of few

The Globe Independent
Hagerstown, Md.
Dear Sir:
l want to thank you for for
Warding all those back issues of
the Globe Independent. The paper
is a real source of pleasure to me,
as it has an interesting summary
of news, both local and more
worldwide.
The new articles by Myldred
Schoen are very interesting, and
I think, add to the fullness of
your paper. I especially liked
her pointed, though lightly yelled,
criticisms of various municipal
offices.
The Globe has enabled me to
keep some track of my very wide
ly spread former friends. This I
appreciate. During almost three
years of being in this Army, I've
found that so many of those who
were my acquaintance have
dropped completely out of my
limited contact. The names in
the news, and comments on our
servicemen, enable me to tie in
once again with the old familiar
contacts.
To sum it up, all I can say, is
that l do enjoy devoting an hour
or so reading from cover to cover.
We who have been away for two
or three years do really apprec-
late all these small items that
bring back and tie in those things
we've missed this long.
l want to thank you again for
speedily sending me those back
copies.
Sincerely yours,
Robert P. Bohman

Army Re-enlistment
With Rank still Open

They probably griped like crazy
- as CTS do - while they were
in the Army. But grippe or not, an
awful lot of them are reenlisting
these days. And for a good reason
one of the best, in fact-SECURITY.
At least that's the reason most
of the ex-doughfoots offer when
they come back to sign up for an
other hitch, after a turn at being
civilians, according to Major Rich
ard Carmody, head of public rela-
lions with the Army Recruiting
Office here.
And Army, beset with many a
grave problem these days, is doing
what it can to make it easy and
attractive for those who want to re-
turn. Beseiged by distracted ex-rat-
ings who had let the twenty days
originally allotted pass before re-
enlisting in order to hold their rat
ings, Army has extended the time
and is giving them a chance to start
where they left off.
1t works like this: Any discharg-
ed service man wanting to enlist in
the Organized Reserve within go
days after his date of discharge, or
before February l, will get the same
rating he held on active duty.
If he wants to enlist in the regu-
lar Army, rather than the reserve,
he will hold a permanent rating.
Phone calls to the office from men
who have overstayed their twenty
days have been so numerous, Major
Carmody states, that it is necessary
for this information to be passed
along.
Total enlistment in this area from
October "a to January 18th stand
at 346 men, 1875 of whom have been
reenlistees. These men have felt, for
the most part, that Army offered
something important, not only as
career, but as a means of making
up for lost time. They were mostly
men in the three upper grades, Mas
ter, Technical and Staff sergeants,
who are eager to be about the bust
ness of marrying and rearing fam
lies and feel that they can go ahead
with that project with Army pay
and compensations, which include
clothing, food, small luxuries, tax
reductions and the excellent quar-
ters provided for non-coms and their
families on permanent bases. There
IS also the matter of 100000 in
surance at the absurdly low rate of
little more than $500 per month.
and If the non-conls has to live off
the base, he is compensated for that.
Major Carmody also announces
that applications are open for regu-
lar Army commissions. AS a result
of recent legislation Arny's officer
quota has been increased to $4,000
which, in view of proposed retire
ments, gives room for 10000 new
officers.
Speaking of Hagerstown's contri-
button to the war from the stand
point of our heavy casualties and
the number of our men in service,
Major Carmody asserted that the
local attitude toward the service has
been surprisingly cordial - much
more SO than in a number of other
places. The local press, radio, bust
nessmen and citizens generally have
been most cooperative, the major
said.
