There's Nothing
New Under The Sum

Just to prove the world is full of
strange things, Mr.. and Mrs. Otto
B. Bussard, who run small farm
on the Cearfoss- Broadfording Road,
have brought to life another age-old
custom that probably your father
can remember when he was lad.
1t seems that years ago, when
modern moving machines were still
a thing of the future, farmers, in
stead of working days at clearing a
new field of brush and underground,
would simply get a large flock of
goats and turn them loose on the
patch and in no time fiat the job
was done.
Mr.. Bussard at the present time
has about 20 goats doing just that
job on newly acquired piece of
land. He plans to add a number
more to the flock, but already the
dense growth is beginning to show
signs of wear and tear.
When the job is done Mr. Bussard
reports that he will sell most of the
goats, which have been fed at no
cost all winter, and next spring his
field will be ready for blowing and
planting.

Registration Drive
Shows Real Results
Jaycees Averaging Eighteen
New Registrations Per Day
Since Drive Started.

Averaging 10 new registrants per
office day the Junior Chamber of
Commerce drive to register the vot-
ers of Washington County showed
excellent results after its first week
and half of activity. Normal
registration rate, County figures in
dictate, is only 1.3 persons per Of
flee day.
Figures released by the Board of
Election Supervisors, based on the
first nine months of this year, show
total of 302 registrants; while the
first nine days of the Junior Cham
Der campaign saw an unpreced-
ented 1852 persons going to the
Courthouse to insure their voting
privileges With the change of Of
fee hours announced last week, the
rate of registration is expected to
reach new records. The hours of
the election board are now from
noon to 6 p. m.
Charges of possible partisanship
made early in the campaign are
proving to be unfounded, as the
new registrations fail to show an
appreciable advantage for either
major political group. Figures for
the entire year show an almost
perfect split between the two par
ties, and figures for the Jaycees
campaign bear out a similar di-
vision.
Chairman George E. Jim" Rou-
lette, leader of the Junior Cham
Der effort, said last week, 1--WE are
very pleased with the results of the
project so far. The industries we
have approached are being very
cooperative, and the Board of Elec-
ton Supervisors has done a great
deal to insure the success of the
drive We intend to continue our
efforts to impress on everyone the
importance of registration, and
make it as easy as possible for
everyone in the County to meet
his citizens responsibility. We are
especially appreciative of the as
sistance given by the newspapers
and radio, assistance that is es-
sential in a program such as this +"

AROUND TOWN
WHTH THE EDITOR

I admirably summed up in the follow
ing letter from the chairman of the
Public Service Commission of Mary
land, a copy of which / have just re-
ceived from Mr. Frank Harper, Ex-
ecutive Secretary of the Commission:
September 18, 1947
Honorable Richard Sweeney
Mayor of Hagerstown
Hagerstown, Maryland
Dear Mr.. Mayor
In view of the great and contin-
uing increase in the use of electrical
energy throughout the State of Mary
land, the Commission has been sur
veying the conditions of all the OPP
Grating utilities with particular re-
gard to their ability to meet the ex-
panding needs for service, and, due
to the inability at this time to OBJ
tain generating, substation, trans
former and other equipment with
anything like reasonable promptness,
it is necessary to project such studies
both as to probable load and avail
able capacity several years, at least,
into the future if we are to be as
sured of adequate and reliable sup
plies of power at all times.
In connection with its studies the
Commission has naturally given
consideration to the Hagerstown sit
uation and such data as the Com
mission has, indicated that steps
should be taken without delay to
augment the supply of current avail
able for distribution to customers of
the Hagerstown municipal plant in
order to insure that there is no in
terruption of service to them. AL
ready the load has grown to such a
point that, should the larger gener-
ating unit go out, the remaining
units probably would not be able to
carry the peak demand. This pos
sibility presents rather serious sit
uation, especially in view of the in
creasing load on the plant and the
relatively long time which must
necessarily elapse before relief can
be obtained, due to the slow delivery
of electrical equipment of all kinds.
While the Commission feels con-
fident that you and the other Of
ficials of Hagerstown are fully aware
of the situation and that probably
the matter of providing the needed
relief is even now receiving active
attention, l am writing to let you
know that the Commission is keenly
interested in the matter and to say
/ that if the Commission can be of any
service to you in connection there
with, it will be glad to have you call
upon it.
/ It occurs to me that an informal
/ discussion of the matter might be
helpful and if you agree with me in
this the Commission will be very
glad, indeed, to arrange a conference
at its offices, at some convenient
/ time.
! Awaiting your wishes in the mat
ter, I am,
Yours very truly,
Charles B. Bosley
Chairman.
