Lutheran Chapel
Begins 55th Year

On Sunday morning and evening,
and again on Monday evening, re-
dedication services were held at
Trinity Lutheran Chapel, Liberty
Street, which this month begins its
fifty-fifth year of service, with an
enrolment of 122 members. The
Chapel is affiliated with Trinity
Lutheran Church, with DR.. Wilson
P. Ard acting as pastor and Mr.. Ed
ward L. Burger as superintendent.
1t was "a years ago when the Rev.
Edwin Heyl Delk, Pastor of Trinity
Lutheran Church, officiating at a
funeral on Liberty Street, saw the
vital need for a church in that vi
cinity. He contacted different
people in the neighborhood and Mr..
Albertus Senior promptly offered
his 'parlor" to DR.. Delk. On Sun
day, May IA, 1893, the first Sunday
School was held. The attendance
soon became so large that the ser
vice had to be limited to "those
under 16 years of age" Meanwhile
DR.. Delk and his Christian Endeav-
or Society were working on pro-
ject for a church for the vicinity.
The Christian Endeavor Society of
Trinity Lutheran Church pledged
$4,000 toward the building and on
June 26, 1898, Mr.. and Mrs. Albertus
Semler generously donated ground
adjoining their home. All the labor
was cheerfully donated and a short
time later the first part of the Church
was completed and dedicated Chap
ell of Christian Endeavor," on Sept.
3, 1898
In 1903 the need for more room
became evident and building in
the shape of cross was added. The
tower was added later and a bell,
donated by Mr.. Ellsworth Stone
braker from the old Antietam Mill,
was installed. In 1924 the name was
changed to Trinity Lutheran Chapel.
In 1882 a Primary room was added
and a heating plant installed, and
in 1941 The Communion Rail and
Baptismal Font were added This
fall the entire interior was renov-
ated and paneled. Another new
heating system has been installed;
floors and all the woodwork refin-
ished and new stained glass and new
lighting fixtures installed.
During all these 54 years Mr..
and Mrs. Berger, who resided at
649 Potomac Avenue have devoted
their time and efforts at the little
chapel.

Sales Tax Now
Starts At IA Cents
Individual Sales Of Articles
Costing IS Cents Or Less.
Are Now Tax Free.

James ]. Lacy, State Comptroller
and administrator of the Maryland
Retail Sales Tax Act, was notified
by Governor William Preston Lane,
Jr., that the amended sales tax law
passed at the special session of the
General Assembly last week, had
been signed by him at 1890 o'clock
on Monday, Nov. 10. Mr.. Lacy said
the bill became effective immedi-
ately and that all taxes collected
by licensees under the old bracket
must be reported.
'The clause raising the minimum
price at which the tax becames col
lectable," Mr.. Lacy said, sis lifted
Immediately from the former nine
cents to the new level of IA cents. :"
The State Comptroller also said
that he anticipated that approx
mately $1,500,000 in revenue will
be lost annually as a result of the
new provision of the law.
The monetary exemption was IN
creased from &c to 13c. Sales of
taxable items with a sales price of
13c or less are not taxable; how
ever, if two or more taxable items
are sold to the same purchaser at
the same time, and the total of the
sale is lac or more the tax applies
to the total sales price.
The regulations concerning the
consumption of food and drinks ETC.,
on the premises, have also been
changed. Under the new regula-
tions all food, drinks ETC., purchased
at hotels, restaurants, drugstores,
ETC., are taxable unless they are
purchased for actual consumption
in the home. This means that a
sandwich purchased in drug store
to be eaten at an office or in an
automobile is now subject to the
tax.

down for necessary maintenance
work.
The reason-Local industries, de-
MED insurance against possible shut
downs caused by power failures,
will provide their own insurance by
switching over to PIE as soon as it
is possible to do so-and many home
owners will do the same thing.

1 was very glad to receive a call
on Tuesday from Mr.. British, sup
erintendent of schools, telling me
that plans are well underway to in
stall inside toilets and running
water at Mt. Lena School, and that
he expects the work to be completed
by the end of the year. Congrat-
ulations sir!
And talking about schools, if you
read the editorial in Tuesdays Daily
Mail, you will know why we are
getting nowhere fast with the
school building programme whole
business is so stepped in politics that
it's becoming increasingly difficult
to make any Roadway.
The Daily Mails editorial, while
disguised as plea for an enlarged
school building program, is nothing
more than a political attack on the
three Republican members of the
five-man Board of County Com
missioners, an attack that follows
the same old line that has character
lied many previous attacks from the
Democratic Party in the county
But the punch line" of the ed
itorial came in the following last
sentence: "This is no time for poll
tics but for action"
If that isn't a case of "the pot
calling the kettle black" then I
don't know my politics but 1
think I do.

Baer Brothers Host
To Produce Dealers
Over -Four Hundred Retailers
See Demonstration Of Use OF
Ice In Displaying Fresh Fruits
And Vegetables.

We've all heard the old saying,
''Put 1t On Ice" but it remained
for Baer Brothers, Hagerstown
wholesale distributors, to give some
four hundred retail fruit and vege-
table dealers, a practical demon
stration of what putting it on ice"
really means.
The demonstration, held in Baer
Brothers large warehouse last week,
was put on by Ray Pillar, director
of marketing promotion for the
National League of Fresh Foods and
Vegetables, of which Mr.. John
Baer is member of the board of
governors. Illustrated by moving
pictures, Mr.. Pillar gave his large
audience practical and profitable
talk on the value of ice in display
ing fresh fruits and vegetables in
the retailers stores, and took his
listeners, step by step, through the
various phases of the movement of
fruits and vegetables from the farm
to the merchants counter - kept
fresh all the time by ice. At the
end of his talk, Mr.. Pillar, in the
space of just few minutes, actual
ly prepared, right in front of his
audience, a display of fruits and
vegetables, packed in crushed ice,
and all who saw it Immediately
realized its value, not only in keep
ing the food fresh, but also in its
eye appeal to the housewife who
enters his store to do her daily
shopping
Other speakers on the program,
all of whom were introduced by
John Baer, were: Robert C. VIII
bourn, chairman of the Service
Wholesalers Committee of the Ma
tional League; r. P Galloway, of
the University of Maryland Exten-
sion Service; Mark Miller, County
Agent for Washington County, and
Mayor Richard Sweeney.
Following the demonstration
which was attended by dealers
from Western Maryland, Pennsyl-
vania and Virginia, tasty buffet
supper, prepared by the Office force
of Baer Brothers and the wives of
many of the employees, was served.

AeIOOKHAG
AND

BY Ellen HagedOrn

Three friends were walking
along quietly discussing their
various financial difficulties.
Food prices were high, so
they agreed to purchase only
the less expensive cuts of meat.
Clothing prices were high SO
they agreed to interchange
their children's outgrown, but
still wearable, garments. One
offered to teach the others the
fundamentals of home sewing.
New furnishings for the home
were out of the question; so
they exchanged experiences on
how to improve what each
already had.
They were three friends.
willing to share; willing to CO.
operate; willing to relinquish
today's desires until a more
opportune time.
God grant the nations of the
World such unity Of purpose!

AROUND TOWN
WITH THE EDITOR

While l received number of IA
vorable letters and phone calls fol-
lowing my editorial of last week
concerning the much discussed
Light Plant situation, I wondered
why 1 didn't hear anything from
the opposition-but finally it came.
Following the exact pattern of
some of those opposing the proposed
tie-in, the objection to my editorial
took the form of an anonymous pos
tai card-printed of course - and
signed "a Subscriber"
The communication accused me of
being a foreigner and also accused
me of being influenced by the adj
vertising my paper receives from
the Potomac Edison Company. In
the latter respect, both the Morning
Herald and the Daily Mail must be
in the same boat, since their adver-
Using columns carry Pc advertising
too.
It's too bad l don't know who ga
Subscriber" is, so that I could re-
fund the unexpired portion of the
subscription. But whoever it is,
he doesn't know me very well, or he
wouldn't accuse me of being in
fluenced by anyone. It has been
tried often "brother," but without
success.
In fact, one of those who is bitter
ly opposing the tie-in, once sent for
me and asked me to print an article
he wrote on the proposed revised
Hagerstown Charter, and added that
he wanted to give me hundred
subscriptions to be sent to a list that
he would furnish-His article was
not printed in my paper, l didn't
get his hundred subscriptions-and
when his own subscription expired
1 quietly removed his name from
my papers mailing list.
If you want your subscription re-
funded "a Subscriber" come in and
get it any time.
Yesterday afternoon the Mayor
and Council, with the three members
of the committee appointed by the
Mayor to negotiate with the Poto-
mac Edison Company on contract
for the proposed tie-in, were sched-
uled to meet with two engineers
from the Federal Power Commits
sion, to discuss the subject. This
was to be followed by another meet
ing of the Mayor and Council in the
evening-this one open to the pub
lic-at which not only the two eng
ineers, but also a representative of
a Diesel engine company, were to be
present.
Since this weeks issue of The
e-Independent will have been
printed before the evening meeting
is held, I can only guess at what will
take place, and here it is-There is
a strong possibility that the Council
deferred taking vote until a later
date, but if they did take vote last
night, then they voted to reject the
Pc contract, possibly by vote of
4 to l.
But here's something that isn't
guesswork.
If the Council votes against the
tie-in, there won't be any need of
spending some two or three hundred
thousand dollars for the purchase
and installation of Diesels, or for
the proposed million dollar expan-
sion program either, for within a
short time the present capacity of
the plant will be more than ample
to take care of its customers every
need-and still allow partial shut
