Story Hour At
Museum Saturday

During the entire month of April,
the last month in the present season
for the Washington County .Mu-
seum's regular Saturday Story
Hours for Children, films have been
emphasized. The films have been
those designed to teach. The one
booked for Saturday, April 26th, is
designed to entertain: "The Adven-
lures of Tom Sawyer"
The film, featuring Tommy Kelly,
is based on Mark Twain's beloved
story. The escapades of its lovable
character, Tom,-dear to the hearts
of young and old America - are
faithfully recorded. The white
washing Of the Sawyer fence, the
midnight graveyard murder, and
Tom, Huck, and Joe's brief career
as homesick pirates have lost none
of their entertainment
The film will be shown in the
auditorium of the Museum in the
City Park on the morning Of Satur-
day April 26th, beginning at 1870
o'clock. Girls and boys of county
and town are cordially invited to
attend this last of the Saturday

Around Town With
The Editor
SPRING Fewer

Wednesday, $3.50 p. M: Three OF
the printers are off sick; I'm sick,
and the paper probably looks sick
too!
Pm supposed to be at bowling
banquet at $50 and you're supposed
to get your paper in the mail to-
morrow morning!
Here's hoping no one gets disap-
pointed!
Despite the strong rumor around
town on Tuesday that the telephone
strike might be over by night, the
outlook for an early settlement looks
further away than ever.
The Maryland operators, who
while not officially on strike have
refused to cross the picket lines,
now have served a 30-day strike
notice on the telephone company,
through their union, and both sides
seem Accommodation on the ma
tional and regional level-to settle
down to a finish fight.
The amazing thing about the
strike, particularly here at home, is
the well take it in our stride at
titude of the public.
Approaching that through the fine
job being done by officials OF the
local company, all real emergency
calls are being handled promptly,
the people seem to have made up
their minds that they can get along
without telephones for awhile and
are getting back to the old days of
visiting.
1t is true, of course, that business
houses who get most of their orders
over the phone are feeling the
pinch, but many of them are already
sending out statesmen and drivers to
get the orders, while many house
wives who used to order by phone
are now going down to their fav-
orite stores for their needs.
-
All in all, the attitude of the
public seems to be-we are fed up
with all these strikes between labor
and management, so we're just go
ing to let them fight it out between
them without taking sides, and make
whatever adjustments we have to
in the meantime.

tremely difficult to settle the vexed

grafton, since the Arabs fear that
the immigration may change their
way of living. In closing Mrs. At
man stated that special session
of the United Nations is being called
to deal with the whole question.
Mrs. Walter Bromley, the Home
makers Chorus director, then pre-

tertained with a group of humorous

Support The Cancer
Control Campaign

No longer is cancer a hush-hush
subject. People are talking about it.
Thousands of letters pour into the
offices of the American Cancer So
ciety every year-indicating that
everyone - everywhere - wants to
know more about cancer.
This real desire is an encouraging
sign. For authoritative information
will eventually help to reduce the
annual death toll Even on the basis
of todays knowledge, medical ex-
perts say that 80 to SO per cent of
cancers victims might be saved
through early detection and prompt,
effective treatment.
One in every eight Americans now
living will die of cancer unless we
act-unless we supply the funds for
research, service and education.
This dread killer now claims 504
lives every day. Think of it!-one
every three minutes.
Give to the 1947 Cancer Control
Campaign, being conducted during
the month of April. Washington
County's quota is $4,000.
Make it a sacrificial gift if you
have to-but DO IT!
The Campaign Headquarters are
located at IA w. Washington Street,
in the former Lovely Dame building.
Mrs. Jack H. Beachely is the Wash

Association - Four Hundred
And Fifty Present.

AnQ rHty Present.
In the years to come, when Ben
jamin C. Willis, superintendent of
schools for Washington County, is
asked what he accomplished during
the years he was head of Washington

ner given in his honor by the Wash
ington County Teachers Association,
in the Masonic Temple auditorium,
he was presented with a beautiful
combination radio and phonograph

ever, turned out to be a recording in
song of a summary of the honor
guests work in the county, cleverly
composed by the Misses Annilea
Browne and Jane Martin, and sung
by Miss Browne, Miss Jane Martin
and Mrs. Nora Snyder.
Four hundred and fifty teachers,
