Army Day VIII Be
Observed April Z
Day Will Highlight Observance
OF Army Week, April 6-12,
With Emphasis On Need For
Strong and Peaceful Nation.

"a strong America is a peaceful
America" has been selected as the
theme for this years observance of
Army Week, April 6-12, the War
Department announced today. In
all activities across the nation it is
planned to acquaint citizens with
the relationship between an ade-
quate Army and the national secur-
ity, and the role of the entire Army
which includes the National Guard
of the United States, the Organized
Reserve Corps and the Reserve Off
GERS Training Corps-in the nations
security establishment and in the
maintenance of the peace which has
been won at so great a price"
Traditionally observed on April 6
since it was first inaugurated under
the sponsorship of the Military Or
der of The World Wars, Army Day
will be observed this year on April
7, since April 6 is Easter Sunday.
Churches throughout America, how
ever, have been invited to include
prayers for the Army in their serv-
ices on April 6, which marks the an
niversary of the United States entry
into World War I.
Plans for the cooperation of Army
establishments in the observation of
Army Week have not yet been COM
pleted, but it is known that many
in the United States will hold ''open
house" to civilian visitors on Army
Day, some will play host throughout
the week, and still others will re-
ceive student tours sponsored by
schools on Saturday, April IL. All
overseas commands have been in
structed to observe Army Day ap-
propriately.
In many cities of the nation Army
troops will join veterans organiza-
tons, patriotic societies and youth
units in colorful parades. Luncheon
and banquet observances have been
planned by many civic organizations
and will feature selected speakers.
In some cities Army-made films will
portray to citizen groups behind
scene phases of Army training, life
and missions.
In the IS cities where there are
chapters of the Military Order of
The World Wars, Army Week will
be sponsored by that organization,
as it has been since the Order inaug-
urated the observance in 1928.
Where no chapters of the Order exist
sponsorship will be by various other
civic, fraternal and patriotic organ
izations.

Girl Scouts Observe
35th Anniversary
Occasion Marked Here By
Countrywide Rally Yesterday.

] at is little hard to believe that
the young ladies we see about town
in their attractive Girl Scout I'M
iforms have this week celebrated
anything as sober and "middle-age'
as thirty-fifth birthday. The Girl
Scouts ARE always 50 young, fresh
and up-to-date, that we somehow
get the impression that Girl Scouting
is brand new. We don't realize that
the movement is thirty-five years
old and that generations of girls
have grown up under it's influence.
Mrs. H. r. Zimmerman, newly
elected Commissioner for Washing
ton County, stated that the first Girl
Scout Troop was organized in Sa-
Vannah, Georgia, on March IL 1912,
by the late Juliette Gordon Low,
who had become deeply interested
in it through her friendship with
Lord Robert Baden-Powell, origin
ator of the Scouting movement for
both boys and girls.
Just five years after the first
troop was organized by Mrs. Low,
Scouting for girls was introduced in
Hagerstown. Mrs. George Haw-
baker was the first leader of this
first Troop, which numbered twelve
girls. From that first troop, Scout
ing has grown to its present strength
of 36 Troops, with a membership of
584 registered girls and 81 leaders
and assistants. Mrs. Zimmerman
pointed out that the work of the or
ganization is carried on almost en-
tirly by volunteers and that, during
this Anniversary year, special
thanks go to these volunteers whose
efforts have made Girl Scouts the
largest organization for girls in the
world.
The Girl Scouts of Washington
County observed the thirty-fifth an
niversary with a Birthday Party
held in the Presbyterian Church
gymnasium yesterday. The program
was arranged by the Washington
County Planning Board, which is
composed of a girl from each of the
SO Troops in the County
The program, in which every
Troop participated, was highlighted
by history of the 35 years of Girl
Scouts in the United States, which
was given by the following girls:
Helene Dunn, Louise WEIGH, Lilly
Ann Moore, Shirley Hendrickson,
and Barbara Sue Mullendore.
Another interesting feature of the
program was series of charades by
groups of girls, divided according to
birthday months. After the pro-
gram refreshments were served.
Miss Katherine Mccullough is the
Girl Scout Executive for Washington
County, maintaining an office at the
Women's Club, 81 South Prospect

St. Mary's Library
Has First Birthday
Parish Library, Organized Last
Year, Now Has Membership
Of Two Hundred And Still
Growing.

Of Two Hundred And Still
Growing.
In the fall of 1915 Father John v.
Ballard, of st. Mary's Parish, recog-
nizing the need of Catholic library
in Hagerstown, selected a committee,
headed by Miss June l. .Carper, to
work on the project. Getting right
on the job, the committee having
secured a room in the basement of
st. Mary's School as library room,
went about the business of setting up
Parish library-not in opposition
to our fine Washington County Free
Library, but to supplement it.
The members of the committee
all members Of the fair sex, by the
Way-started out by completely re-
decorating the library room them
selves. With this lob out of the
way shelves were erected, books Sc
lected and purchased with many
being donated) and then followed
the task of setting up a library cat
alogue system.
The big job was finally completed
and on Tuesday evening, February
IL, 1916, st. Mary's Parish Library,
with Miss Carper as Librarian, was
opened, with some two hundred
books (both Catholic and non-Cath-
olic) on the shelves.
Since that time the lending library
has grown by leaps and bounds.
There are now more than $50 books
available to the 200 members and
they are really being read, for, ac-
cording to the Librarian, the entire
number of books in the library have
been read 1928 different times dur
ing the past year While the most
popular fields Of reading have been
fiction and biography, other sections,
such as History and Faith and Nor
ais, have been much in demand
Checking over the cards, Miss
Carper found that, in fiction, the
most popular books were; Brides
head Revisited" by Evelyn Waugh;
''The Masterful Monk" by Owen
Francis Dudley; Murder in Nun
merry" by Eric Shepherd; "The Scar
let Lily" by Edward Murphy, ard
'The Green Years" by A. J. Cronin.
Some of the favorites in the Biog-
raphy section are: Ozark Symphony"
by Elizabeth Adams; "And Down
The Days" by John L. Bonn; my
Mother" by Daniel A. Lord; Frank
Leahy and the Fighting Irish," by
Arch Ward; "Too Small World"
by Theodore Maynard, and "Gall
and Honey" by Edward Doherty.
In the Faith and Morals section
the most read books were: "Self I'm
provement," by Rudolph Alters; "Be-
yond Personality" by C. S. Lewis;
1.-THE Guidance of Parents" by Dan
lei A. Lord; Freedom Under God"
by Fulton J Sheen, and Morals and
Marriage" by T. G. Wayne.
Members of the Library Commit
tee are, in addition to the librarian:
Mrs. NJ A. Fish, Miss Alberta Mob
ley, Mrs. Hunter Smith, Mrs. Fred
erick r. Rowe, Mrs William Thorn
as, Miss Regina Wagner, Miss Esther
Warner and Miss Paula Wingert.

Delivering Milk
In The Modern Way
Paul Kretzer Beats Snow By
Using Ski-Equipped Plane To
Get Milk To WilIiamsport
Customers.

Last week, during the heavy snow,
Paul Kretzer, a dairyman from Will
Transport, was very much puzzled
as to how he could get milk to his
customers. While talking on the
phone to his daughter in Chambers
burg, Pa, he mentioned his pre-
dicament and she told him that they
had friend who owned a plane,
equipped with skis, whom she be-
lieved could solve his problem.
On Tuesday morning Mr.. Melvin
Smith and Mr.. Thomas Ommert,
both of Chambersburg, flew to Mr..
Kretzer's farm, landed on a field
there, took on a load Of milk, and
taking Mr. Kretzer along with them,
landed at field near WilliamSport.
From there the milk was loaded on
a truck and Mr.. Kretzer started his
deliveries, while Mr.. Smith made
several more trips between Williams
port and the farm, until all the milk
had been delivered.
incidentally, Mr. Kretzer holds a
remarkable record for county farm
er He has been delivering milk in
Williamsport for % years and has
never missed day.
