West Antietam St. Vesper Services At
Keopened to Traffic City Park Sunday

Following request by the Ha-
gerstoWn Chamber of Commerce,
the first block of West Antietam
Street, closed to through traffic ever
since the fire at the Colonial Hotel
last week, was re-opened to traffic
on Tuesday.
The action came after the Board
Of Directors of the Chamber, at
their weekly meeting on Monday,
brought up the question of why one
of the city's main downtown arteries
of traffic remained closed full week
after it had been first closed due to
the fire at the hotel. The board
members agreed that temporary
closing of that block of Antietam
Street was necessary while the roof
and top floor of the hotel was being
made safe, but felt that it should
not take a whole week.
City Engineer Charles w. Stump,
Jr.,. after assuring himself that ade-
quate measures had been taken by
the contractors to prevent accident
to motorists OF pedestrians, ordered
the street reopened to traffic Tues
day morning.

An estimated group of twenty
five hundred men, women and chill
dren-all employees and their fam
lies of the Pangborn Corporation

This will start off a day of swim

animals, chocolate, ice-cream and
other picnic activities never to be
forgotten by the lucky excursionists
to the distant playland Nor will the
fun be over even when the trains
leave the park at 800 p. m. and 8:15
p. m.-for the ride back will be
filled with gala activities for those
who have enough energy left after
an active day of picnicing. For those

will be treat and comfort.

Merchants have reported that it
was only natural that confusion
should reign during the first few
~ of collecting the tax, but re-
ports reaching the State Comptroll-
er's Office are that the collection is
beginning to function in satisfac-
tory manner. The best method of
recording the tax cash collected is
the use of cash registers with spec
ial keys, but where such registers
are not in use receptacles of many
variations such as jars, boxes and
other things are in use.
In order to acquaint merchants
throughout the State with things
that are necessary for them to do in
order to conform with the law, the
COMPTROLLER will continue to ar
range meetings at convenient points
in order that all interested may get
together, discuss their usual prob
lens and at the same time obtain
answers to their questions.

Around, Town With
The Editor

The trolley situation remains as is.
The Mayor and Council of wilkins
port discussed the matter at
lengthy meeting on Monday night,
but failed to arrive at any decision.
They are scheduled to meet again
within few days, when it is hoped
that final action will be taken.
AS far as Hagerstown is con-
cerned, city attorney Oswald has had
a preliminary meeting with the at
torney for the Potomac Edison Com
pany, regarding the three stipulat-
ions under which the Mayor and
Council will pay the ten thousand
dollars assessed as their part of the
amount needed to get the trolley
off the streets, but, as this is written,
that's as far as the matter has gone.
Chief of Police Richard, who has
real sense of humor, came up with
good one yesterday morning. Dis
cussing the traffic situation with
him, l mentioned that unless unfor-
seen circumstances interviewed, the
trolley would be off the streets soon,
to which the chief replied: That's
true, but what will / use for an
alibi when the trolley's gomez"
Switch to the trucks chief, switch
to the trucks.
l really rubbed my eyes when l
stepped into the Nicodemus Bank
the other day-oh yes! editors do
go into banks sometimes, even if its
only to ask that the note be renewed
for awhile.
As l stepped in the door I was
amazed to see vice-president Tabler
giving John Shockey demonstra-
ton of an electric polishing brush,
with president Hollyday as an adj
miring onlooker. And you can take
my word for it, that brush was really
something. It polishes floors and
desks, and even shoes-I know, for
l had mine polished.
Our neighboring city of Waynes-
boro is really putting on show
for the Sesquicentennial celebration.
The committee in charge really
pulled one out of the hat" when
they arranged for a native son, Tom
Brenneman, to broadcast his nation
ally famous Breakfast in Holly
wood" show from Waynesboro for
the entire week, and are the ladies
getting kick out of it!
Members of the fair sex from all
over this section of the country are
flocking to the broadcasts-and Ha-
gerstown has big representation at
every broadcast. Mrs. l.. H. Miner,
of Wayside Avenue, had the priv
lege of being invited to sit on the
stage for the Monday broadcast.
The town is really decorated for
the great occasion and some of the
exhibits in the store windows are
works of art Another feature of |
the celebration is the nightly pre-
sentation of the historic spectacle,
Crossroads Review" which has
drawn favorable comments from all
who have witnessed it.
All in all, the celebration is
whopping success and the citizens of
Waynesboro are to be congratulated
on really putting their fair city ION
the map"

Plan Advanced To Split Coop
(Continued from page l)

NSonAAnueO 1TOIn page U dormitory and rec hall. This lat ter coop would open its member ship to any interested resident of the community.
 Under the plan each GOOD would assume a fair share of the mortgages now held against the present organization. Owner ship would revert to the coop members when the mortgages are paid off.
 Each cooperative, according to the resolution, would retain the privilege of employing its own manager and would be in complete charge of it's own ac- tivities. The central accounting system would operate only as long as mortgages remain unpaid. However, members of the three unit coop could retain the sys- tenn if they find it practical.
 The plan was discussed at 1engtn at the meeting but no action was taken. It was decided that time should be given for study of the plan and for some revisions.
 The matter is expected to be brought before the group at a special meeting, probably before the coming annual meeting.
 Leonard Moffitt, secretary of the dairymen's ssoci i,o warned that the resolution was made as only a tentative sug- gestion. He said he and his fel- low dairymen felt a number of amendments to the plan as we'll as more detailed outline of op- erations is necessary before mem bership action is taken.
 Moffitt reported that the con- sensus at Saturdays meeting was to favor the resolution.
