OF World War l, In Charge
OF Md. Workshop For Bline
Concession In Main Lobby.

Through the cooperation of the
Mayor and Council, a Maryland
Workshop for the Blind refreshment
stand has been opened in the main
lobby Of the City Hall, with John
Souders, a blind veteran Of World
War /, in charge.
Souders, who lives with his wife
and family at 1873 Alexander street,
has been totally blind for nine years,
his blindness coming from the after
effects of having been bombed while
serving with the Merchant Marine
before the United States declared
war on Germany back in 1917
Souders ship, the S. S. Saxonia,
was bombed by German plane in
the English Channel on April 3,
l0l7, while enroute TO Garter, South
Wales The bomb struck near where
Souders was standing and although
he was not injured, he suffered
severely from shock, but seemed TO
recover. Returning to the States, he
enlisted in the u. S. Army on June
3, 1917, and served for the duration.
Upon being discharged, ne re-enlist-
ed for another year and was finally
discharged in 1920
He got along alright until 1927,
except for occurrences Of nervous
spells, but in that year his eyes
began to give him serious trouble.
He underwent a long period of
treatments at army hospitals, but on
December 20, 1887, he went com
pletely blind.
Souders is getting along fine at
his new stand and is right on the
job when it comes to handling the
various items he has for sale. Drop
in and see him next time you are
in the neighborhood of the City

Mrs. D. r. Hendricks
Reviews Noted Play
Large Audience Enjoys Re-
viewers Skillful Handling OF
"The Glass Menagerie."

In spite of a Spring downpour of
cloudburst proportions, Dorothea
Reynolds Hendricks review of "The
Glass Menagerie" drew a full house
at the Washington County Free
Library on the evening of April 2.
That none of her rain-soaked audi
ence regretted breasting the storm
to hear her sensitive Interpretation
of Tennessee Williams celebrated
play, was evident from the delight
ed comments heard afterwards.
introduced by Roy Dancer, Mrs.
Hendricks opened her review with
a brief resume of the play, which
is in its second successful year on
Broadway, starring the Incompatible
Laurette Taylor, supported by Eddie
Bowling and Julie Hayden, both
well-known for their outstanding
performances in two Saroyan plays
in recent years.
'The Glass Menagerie," winner of
the 1945 Drama Critics Award for
the finest American play written by
an American, has gathered up six
other important awards during its
run, including the coveted White
House Command Performance"
when it was chosen by President
Truman for a benefit showing be-
fore a distinguished Washington
audience.
Mrs. Hendricks, who has appeared
here with Potomac Playmaker pro-
auctions and has studied for the
theatre, proved her mettle by a
concise and intelligent cutting of the
play to its essentials. Heading all
of the parts herself, with charm,
effect and understanding of the nu-
ances of the authors thought, the
reviewer brought to it delicate
understanding of the bitter-sweet
quality that distinguishes "The
Glass Menagerie."
Managing to make the setting
clear, Mrs. Hendricks, without over
playing or underplaying a speech in
the entire play, left her audience with
an enviable sense of having spent
an evening in the theatre. Again
the Library is to be congratulated
on offering to the community a de-
lightful and informative evening as
public service.

DURELY
/ Official
By BALLOT BOX


When / asked Robert Tenney,
chairman of the Washington County
Delegation and candidate for State
Senator, whether there was any
truth in the rumor that he was
withdrawing from the race, he told
me that if any other Republican
candidate for Senator polls more
votes than he does on June "a (the
date of the Primary, then he will
withdraw, but until the last vote
is counted, he will be very much in
the race.
And Bob's statement seems to
take care of that rumor very nicely.
Senator Tyding's unqualified sup
port of Willard Tawes, plus the an
nouncement that Charles S. Role
son, Jr., prominent insurance execu-
tive of Baltimore, has filed for State
Comptroller on the Tawes ticket,
has knocked into a cooked hat the
plan of the Baldwin campaign
strategists to go all out in branding
Tawes as a "Curran Candidate"
And speaking of the Tydings en-
dorsement, | believe l am right in
stating that it marks the first. time
that Maryland's senior Senator has
ever endorsed any candidate in a
Primary.
But the Senator's endorsement and
Mr., Roleson's filing have done much
more than throw a monkey wrench
into the campaign plans of the Bald
win camp.
Over in Montgomery County,
where Brooke Lee, who is backing
the candidacy of Preston Lane, holds
forth, there is excitement plenty.
So upset are the Brooke Lee faction,
that a special policing" committee
has been appointed, authorized to
remove precinct chairmen and vice
chairmen who deviate from the
choice of the Montgomery County
Congress, or who may fail, in their
opinion, ito vigorously lead in their
respective precincts, the campaign
in support of all the candidates
whom we have so endorsed"
Those named on this special
policing" committee are: Lacy
Shaw, of Colesville; F. Byrne Aus
tin, of Takoma Park; Alfred D.
Noyes, of Kensington, and James
W. Gill, of Silver Spring.
Summing it all up, the slogan that
is spreading over the State like
wildfre in Democratic circles-you
just can't beat "T and T'-seems
to hit the nail right on the head
And it looks now as if Willard
Tawes will get the Democratic
nomination by lopsided majority
When midnight April Is (the
deadline for fling comes, don't be
surprised if the Tawes ticket turns
out to be: Willard Tawes for Cover
nor, Charles Robson, Jr., for State
Comptroller, and Earl S. Colby for
Attorney General.
Earl Colby, prominent Cumber-
land attorney who was a Command
er in the Navy in World War II,
would round out the Tawes ticket,
with Tawes from the Eastern Shore,
Robson from Baltimore, and Colby
from Western Maryland.

School Cafeterias
On Increase Here
Twenty Eight In County Now
And More Are Needed-Be-
tween Five And Six Thousand
Children Served Every Week.
BY MILDRED SChoen

And now for the $64 question.
What service offered to the par
ents and children Of Washington
county has grown from a mere baby,
representing a paltry $4,000, five
years ago, to a leviathan, whose
head brushed the clouds that hover
at the $l50,000 mark and will
this year exceed even that2
The answer; the hot lunch pro-
gram of the city and county schools,
whose upward swing has astonished
even those patrons whose pet baby
it was in the beginning.
Starting with a few scattered
school lunch rooms, the past five
years have seen the establishment
of twenty eight such cafeterias in
the county, serving between five and
six thousand children per week and
employing fifty adults. So busy are
the school lunch rooms, in fact, that
in many cases the children are serv-
ed in as many as four shifts, a fact
that should not be, according to
County Superintendent of Schools,
Benjamin &. Willis, who longs for
the day when it will be possible
for things TO be held down TO two
shifts at most
The school lunch rooms, which
operate on non-profit basis tie
in neatly with the school program,
particularly in the fields of health
and science, where children learn
the value of balanced meals, of hot
lunches and are taught about
calories, energy building and so
forth. Patrons also benefit through
the added convenience of place
for their children to eat in stormy
weather, of not having to stop to
prepare hot lunch in the home
and by having one third of the
child's daily nutritive requirements
cared for by the school.
Like all things that grow almost
too rapidly Washington Countys
hot lunch program is hampered by
lack of both equipment and space.
None of the schools were designed
for this service originally, so lunch
rooms and kitchens are placed where
space permits - a matter that can
be remedied when it is possible to
get a continuous building program
under way. Just now the "big baby
of the school system is knocking its
head against the ceilings and its
hefty shoulders against the too-con-
fining walls.
In spite of all the drawbacks to
the present system, and there are
many, the consensus among patrons
is that a good job is being done with
the material at hand. The matter of
hot school lunches has been one Of
Importance across the nation and
has, on more than one occasion, as
sumed the stature of major issue
in the Congress.
Regarded by authorities in the
field of child welfare as a definite
deterrant to delinquency and NAL
nutrition, hot school lunches are also
considered essential to good grades
and general happiness among chill
dren. Further, in the local picture,
Washington county's lunchrooms
provide instructive employment for
more than two hundred pupils, who
assist in the lunchrooms in return
for their noon meal.

Seattle To Have More ''Talk" On Maritime Strike

SEATTLE, (P)-The waterfront employers association was sched- uled to meet today to discuss a proposal by the striking AFL checkers association.
 An answer to the proposal, which paper Drummer, checkers business agent, said is "the same one both sides had practically agreed upon as of Nov. l5," was to be returned when employers and the union meet at a conciliation conference this afternoon.
 Drummer said the men offered to return to work on condition both parties agreed to abide by a pending arbitration decision in their case.
 The proposal also stipulated that: further negotiations will be held on contract changes pertain ing to wharfageS, additional pen alties, subsistence for out of town work, length of the work day and definition of supercargo work; all such changes not settled by Jan. 1, 1947, will go before five-man arbitration board; wage increases and provisions for wage and hour review, already agreed upon, will be included in the new contract and signing of the checkers con. tract will be current with that ot the AFL international longshore mems association.
