Bowling Leagues

Two Pangborn mems bowling
leagues will commence their season
within the next week.
The Pangborn Rotary Shift Mems
League will inaugurate their season
on Saturday morning, September
20, at Raney's Coliseum. This
league is made up of the men who
work the alternate shift depart
ments, and consists of six teams of
seven men each. They will bowl
split season, first half to end Decem-
Der 6, second half to be finished
March 20, at which time they will
have a roll-off for the championship

quite bit of enthusiasm is being
shown from these quarters. Com
mittee for the Rotary Shift League
is composed of Messrs. C. Fuss, Hoo
yer, Shilling, and H. Kline.
The Pangborn Day Mems League
will begin its activities on Friday,
September rs at 700 pm. at Raney's
Coliseum, and will continue for
twenty-five nights of bowling. This
League consists of sixteen teams of
five men each, and the names of
their teams have been chosen from
products Manufactured by the Pang-
born Corporation. The Committee
on this League is made up of Mess
ers. Beagle, E. A. Middlekauff, E.
Black, B. King, and c. Salesman,
who have spent the last month in
arranging the schedules, checking
teams, etc, and it is believed the
teams throughout both leagues are
evenly matched and that competi-
ton will be very keen during the
whole season.
Numerous prizes will be awarded
in both leagues, such as winning
team, second team, high individual
score, etc.

try's largest corporations have pur-
chased equipment from Pangborn
each totaling more than $1,000
10000
The Metal Trades, as Mr.. Pang-
born explained, were the first to
utilize their product on a major
scale, while in later years, Blast
Cleaning Equipment became an inn
portant requirement in numerous
other fields. Dust Control Equip
ment too was primarily used in the
Metal Trades, while in later years
other fields of activity such as the
textile mills, coal mines, cement
mills and soap manufacturers are
among the larger customers.
In his talk to the women's clubs,
Mr.. Pangborn eloquently empha-
sized the important part the fine
qualities of womanhood bear with
the relation to the well being of our
land and the world over He then
pointedly asked the questions What
would we do without your" who
would we look TOTO initiate and
inspire the many grand projects that
you are responsible for?" What
would every church in the land do
without your help and infuence?"
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1947-09-18

Men might well be ashamed of what
little we do in comparison, he said
Mr. Pangborn praised the fine men
and women who make up the cor
poration's organization, both in
the shops and offices, and in his re-
marks to the Women's clubs, men
toned that until the late war no
women mad been employed by the
company because of distance, trans
portation, and other reasons. He
further stated that the women have
done a splendid job and that the
corporation is proud Of the seventy
or more young women who have
continued working after the war.
In Mr. Pangborn's talk Thursday
to the KiWanians, some reference
was made to the early difficulties
Common, as he said, ito every
new business, and further he went
on to say, that both he and his
brother John attributed their sue
cess largely to the inspiration and
help of the good God and the blessed
guidance and faith of a wonderful
Mother that gave us the strength of
perseverance and faith to win" He

The weather man smiled yester-
day for the fifth consecutive time
upon guests of the Pangborn Cor
poration as the final of series of five
monday picnic luncheonS was held
in Pangborn Park. Considering the
prevailing adverse weather condi-
tons of the past several weeks, this
record of five perfect picnic days
is neWsWOrthy.
Starting with the Optimist's Club
August 10, the Lions Club August
rs, the Rotary Club September
3, the combined Women's Service
Clubs September 10, (see picture
above), and the Kiwanis Club Sep
TENDER II, more than 500 club mem
bers from Washington County have
been the guests of the Pangborn
Corporation at picnic luncheons in
Pangborn Park, as well as the edu
cational tours through the various
departments, shops and offices of
the local blast cleaning and dust
control equipment manufacturing
plant.
The cumulative results of these
popular visits to the Pangborn Cor
poration has been a generally bet
ter understanding of the service this
organization renders industry, and
the wide application of its many
products in the metal and process
sing fields To many men and Wom-
en- it was revolution to see the
extent of the facilities and skilled
requirements untitled to manufac-
ture the machines which are pro-
duced locally, then shipped to all
corners of the world.
Mr.. Thomas w Pangborn, presi-
dent of the corporation, with his
brother John c. Pangborn, person
ally welcomed each group. At the
conclusion of each luncheon he ad-
dressed the assembled guests and
complimented the fine work the men
and women of the various service
clubs are doing in this community
and expressed his great satisfaction
in having so many interested
neighbors and friends as Pangborn
guests. He then explained the in
dustrial significance of blast clean
ing and dust control equipment.
In addressing the mems clubs Mr.
Pangborn mentioned that all bust
ness is secured under strict compe-
titive conditions, with no cost plus
sales ever on Pangborn books.
Every order entered was awarded
after the company made firm bid.
The price includes engineering, fab
rication and erecting costs. Pang-
born units vary in price from $4,000
to $20,00000 and more. Recently
a large nationally known firm
plcaed an order for a single unit
which cost more than 100000 In
the Western Maryland shops in Hag-
erstoWn is an installation of APP
proximately $8O,00O.00. This equip
ment is used in the reconditioning

this reporter can collect, this was
the first time any prominent bust
ness man pubically paid tribute to
God and motherhood for the sue
cessful building of great industry.
Mr. Pangborn also credited as a
contributing factor to their success
and good fortune, the constant pol
icy of faithful, fair dealing with
every customer r. and equally with
the employees and the public In
concluding, Mr. Pangborn assured
those present that as a corporation,
and as individuals, they would lever
strive to maintain the same high
standards with customer, employee
and public alike"

BEHIND
HOME PLATE
Football
BY DOUG STEWART

Football
Tomorrow nights the BIG night
at the stadium, for that's the night
the Maroon and Gray of Hagerstown
High School open their 1947 season
against the Military Academy
eleven of Charlotte Hall, Head
Coach Eddie Senior and his assist
ant coach, Al Davis, have done a fine
job of getting the team into shape
and you can look forward to fine
game.
And the opening game is going
to have plenty of color. Music will
be provided by the High School
Band; led by seven of the niftiest
majorettes you ever set your eyes
on, an dthe H. II. S. cheering sec
ton will be lead by six cheer lead
ers, who are really on the job. All
the girls will be arrayed in stylish
uniforms, and all in all, tomorrow
nights game will have all the color
and excitement of a big college
game.
So let's pack the stadium and
give Coach Senior and his squad
real Send-off.
There will be another good game
at the Stadium on Sunday afternoon,
when Coach John Farris leads his
High Street Marketeers onto the
field for their seasons opener
against the Altoona Indies.
Coach Farris has the team in tip
top shape and they can be counted
on to give a good account of them
selves. The Pennsylvania eleven
are coming here with quite rep
utation, all of which will make for
a battle all the way.
Baseball
Put big chalk mark up on the
WALL l picked the Dodgers to win
the National League pennant and for
once it looks as if l guessed right.
And now I'm going right out on the
proverbial limb and taking the
Buns to win the World Series
And I'm not just taking a wild
guess either. In my book the diff
ference between the Dodgers and
the Yankees is the boy who has just
been selected by Sporting News as
the rookie of the year-first base
man Jackie Robinson.
Robinson did the seemingly inn
possible with the Dodgers this year
his first year in the big time.
Starting off slowly, he weathered a
virtual storm of criticism and grad
ually came into his own. In view
of the way he overcame seemingly
unsurmountable difficulties, proves
that his first appearance in World
Series is not going to rattle him, and
when he gets on base | look for
him to rattle the Yankee pitchers,
just as he has done in the National
League.
So there you have tim taking
those Buns in the series.
And talking about the Sporting
News, the cartoon by Mullins
"Who Said They Are Bums?"- on
