Probably the most pronounced
feature of the new Flying Boxcar,
and one that distinguishes it from
earlier models, is the physical con-
figuration of the nose section of the
airplane, which has been designed
to. provide excellent pilot vision
ahead and below for formation fly
ing. To provide downward visible
ity during the delivery of paratroops
and parachuted supplies, windows
have been installed on each side of
the nose section at floor level below
the pilot and co-pilot
The above news release climaxes
a story that began two years ago on
the drafting boards of the engineer
ing department of the Fairchild Air
craft Division, when the Air Forces
started talking about bigger engines
for the C-82, to increase its demon
strated capabilities.
The project officially started in
January this year, with the award
ing of authorization for the proto-
type plane. In March actual con-
struction was started along the as
serhbly line, and by July most of
the construction drawings had been
released. The last of the initial re-
leases were made in September and
a little more than a month later the
C-119A, first of new line Of Pack
cts, rolled out the door
Engineering drawings for the pro-
duction model were started as soon
as the prototype drawings were
completed, and should be completed
in the Spring of 1913. 1t is expected
that the first production model of
the new Packet should go out the
door in August, 1913.

Washington, D. C.-November 20
The United States Air Force an
nounced today that it had placed an
order, approximating twenty-five
million dollars, with the Fairchild
Engine and Airplane Corporation for
81 articles of an improved version
of the Fairchild C-82 Packet, to be
known as the Clio.
This latest Flying Boxcar has been
pre-engineered for volume produc-
ton without further redesigning. 1t
is powered with two 28-cylinder,
four-row, air cooled Pratt and Whit
ney Wasp Major engines, with take
off rating of $3.50 horsepower. The
engines, with their internal super
charging, have normal continuous
ratings of 1850 horsepower to 5000
feet altitude, and 1900 horsepower
to $4,000 feet The available power
of the Clio is far in excess of that
of the previous model, giving the
new airplane increased payload,
speed and climb.
Designed to carry nine-ton car
go payload for range Of 1000
miles, its boxcar-like fuselage has
ample space to carry ten-ton pay
load for lesser distances. 1t is cap
able of accommodating AZ paratroop-
ers as well as 20 paracans Of sup
plies which are suspended from an
automatic overhead monorail. AS
an ambulance plane it can transport
Sc litter patients and attendants.
The C-119 has a cargo capacity of
3095 cubic feet. It's design gross
weight is $4,000 pounds, with max
imum takeoff gross weight of $4,000
pounds. Fuel capacity is approx
mately 2,70O gallons.

nounced on Saturday that the seals
for the annual Christmas Seal sale

sists of approximately 7,100 address

successful campaign will result this
year
The campaign will continue until
Christmas, at which time all of the
returns should be accounted for at
the headquarters so that records
may be made.
DR.. Diehl especially felt that the
following organizations should be
mentioned for their cooperation and
voluntary efforts toward the success
of the drive: Troop No. 16 of the
Girl Scouts, who assisted in prepar-
ing the seals for mailing; Troop No.
2 of the Boy Scouts, who distributed
the posters; and the students of the
Hagerstown Business College, who
typed the envelopes.

Around Town With
The Editor

Up to the time of going to press
there was no official word from the
Mayors office, regarding meeting
of the Mayor and Council to vote on
the proposed tie-in with Pc.
There was, however, a meeting
of the Board of Street Commission
ers scheduled for Tuesday night
and thereby hangs a tale.
The Board of Street Commission
ers, could if they wanted to-set-
tie the whole befuddled and be-
muddled Light Plant question by
simply voting to accept the ten-year
contract offered by PIE.
Under the law, the Board of
Street Commissioners-and not the
Mayor and Council-must sign any
contract affecting the Municipal
Light Plant. All the Mayor and
Council do is to vote the necessary
funds for the operation and main
tenance of the plant.
1t must not be forgotten that it
was the Board of Street Commiss-
toner's that recommended, by
unanimous vote, that the Mayor ap-
point a committee to open negotia-
lions with Pc for tie-in contract.
Nor must it be forgotten that the
Council by vote of 4 to o. Coun-
Gilman Wolfe was not present at
the meeting authorized the Mayor
to appoint that committee.
If the Board of Street Commiss-
ioners-backed up by the public
statement of the Commissioner in
charge. of the Light Plant, H. l..
Mills, that he is now in favor of the
contract offered by PE-has the in
testinal fortitude to go ahead and
accept that contract, then the Coun-
Gil would either have to vote the
funds necessary to actually make
the tie-in, or place themselves in
the unenviable position of refusing
to back up their own Board of Street
Commissioners, every member of
which is an appointee of the present
city administration.
How about it Commissioners? The
Light Plant is "your baby" why
don't you give your Child" the
nourishment it needs?

Community Chest
Drive Over Top

Living up to their enviable repu-
tation of never having failed to go
over the top in any worthwhile un-
dertaking, the people of Hagerstown
mad Washington County, through
their generous contributions, over
subscribed the 1947 quota by some
ten thousand dollars. The final fig
ure, tabulated at the Victory Lun-
cheon in Franklin Court auditorium
on Friday, showed that a total of
$98, 326.75 had been pledged.
Donovan R. Beachley, general
chairman for the drive, in announc-
ing the fine ending to the weeks
intensive campaign, congratulated
the hundreds of volunteer workers
who gave so unstintingly of their
time and efforts; the press and radio
for their fine support; the volun-
teer workers at the Chest Cam
paign headquarters; and last, but
for from least, the group who were
associated with him in planning the
campaign and spearheading the
drive itself.
AS in the past, the success of the
drive, which assures the eight or
CARNATIONS that operate with Com
munity Chest funds the necessary
money to carry on their fine COM
munity work during the year 1948,
was due to the fact that everyone
helped-from the youngsters in the
schools to the industrial and profess
sional leaders.

Postmaster Urges
Early Xmas Mailing

Postmaster Thomas M. Simpson
urges local residents to plan their
Christmas shopping schedules now,
to permit early mailing of Christ
mas cards and gift packages, thus
avoiding 1ast-minute crowds at post
office windows.
To assure delivery before Christ
mas Day, the postmaster advises
that out-of-state mailing should be
done before December 10, and that
Christmas greeting cards for local
delivery should be mailed by De-
cember Is.
The postmaster also requests that,
if possible, local residents would
purchase the extra stamps they are
going to need for their Christmas
cards and letters, as quickly as pos
sible, preferably this week, or early
next week. If this is done, Mr..
Simpson stated, it will help the post
office a great deal in speeding up
traffic at the post office windows
during December.
The postmaster also reminds the
public that packages must be stout
ly wrapped; must not exceed 10
pounds in weight, and are limited
in size to 100 inches in length and
girth combined.
