German edition must have been
started about the same time, or in
1907. McCardell reports that the
title at first was North American
Town and Country Almanack," but
that in a short time it was changed
to its present form.
The article in the Herald of Free
dom" reported that Gruber himself
set the type for these publications,
and that he was later helped by his
son-in-law, Daniel May. Gruber
printed his Almanack and newspa-
pers on a Philadelphia-bought press
and found time to print the first edi-
ton of the German Reformed
Church's Psalms and Hymns" in
1913.
DR.. Christian Boerstler, who set
tied in Funkstown after emmigrat-
ing from Germany, is credited with
furnishing the copy for the Altman
ack for many years. An apprentice
ship was served in Gruber's office by
Adam Glossbrenner, who was SER
geant-at-arms of the United States
House of Representative in 1853.
Mr.. Gruber voted in every presi-
dental election from Washington to
Buchanan. 1t is said that at the time
of his death he left not single
enemy; that he had never been
heard to speak i'll of any person and
that he never owed a debt. BY his
own words he Regarded the hand
press as mightier than the sword"
His house in Hagerstown stood just
South of the public square lat the
corner of the near alley, on South
Potomac Street. Historian Williams
says: ITO him age listened with re-
spect and admiration, and youth rose
up and called him blessed" The
body of John Gruber was buried at
the Zion Reformed Church in 1857,
where his wife also was buried.
The Grubers had six daughters but
no son to carry on the family name.
The Almanack was owned by the
founder and his family from 1897
till the beginning of the twentieth
century. At that time Mr.. Wilfred
McCardell was agent for its pub

New System Speeds
Packet Chute Drops
VIII Enable C-82 To Release
Is Standard 35O-Pound Para
cans In Eight Seconds.

The prototype of an automatic
monorail system, capable of releas-
ing IS standard 350-pound Army
paracans in only eight seconds, has
been designed here by Fairchild Air
craft engineers.
Now installed on a C-82 Packet
Troop Carrier transport, the mono
rail is scheduled to go soon to Wright
Field for extensive operational tests
by the Air Materiel Command. 1t
is expected that henceforth all CHS
delivered to the Army Air Forces
will be equipped with the new de-
vice.
Fast, efficient, quick to load and
easy to operate, the unique delivery
system will enable an AAF Packet
to drop, in single operation, thous-
ands of pounds of supplies and
equipment, plus its normal compile
ment of AZ paratroopers.
The monorail consists Of an alum
mum extruded beam extending
along the ceiling at the center line
of the cargo hold. Suspended from
this beam are trolleys which are
actuated by an endless, electrically
operated cable. This cable carries
the paracans to a "tripper," directly
over the paratainer door in the bel
ly of the fuselage, where the para
cans are released. As each bundle
falls from the C-82, its parachute is
automatically opened by rip cord
attached to static line in the cell
ing of the cargo hold. The bundles
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1947-02-06

are inter-connected by a webbing
tape of fixed length, causing them
to fall in a close pattern on the
ground. When all the paracans have
been released, the paratainer doors
close, and the system is ready for
re-loading.
The new aerial delivery system
Is operated by a push button at the
jumpmaster's station, which opens
the paratainer doors, unlocks the
paracan lock system, and starts the
cable actuating motor. The system
may also be operated from the pill
OTIS overhead control panel, or, in
emergencies, controlled manually.
Red and green signal lights, oper-
ated from the flight deck, are in
stalled on the jumpmaster's panel.
The red light indicates the approach
Of the target and is followed by the
green when the target has been
reached, signaling the release of the
paratainers.
With the aid of the monorail in
stallation, C-82 can now drop two
complete rs nm howitzers in the
time it formerly took to drop one.

snow" So that years Almanac
called for snow on the fourth of
July, and when few flakes of snow
actually fell on that day, the AL
manack won countless numbers of
new and permanent converts.
People wrote the publishers for
matrimonial advice and for names
for babies and colts and calves. Cen
erations ago the Almanack was used
as we use calendars today. 1t car
ried household advice and has al
ways had a set of rhymes of the
Presidents. Since 1856 the same
wood-cuts have appeared on the in
ner pages, showing farm scenes Of
century ago. Many think that
Gruber himself made these by hand.
This ,Almanack has successfully
survived four major wars, several
economic crises, paper shortages and
rationing. 1t has defended itself in
court against limitations. Over 200,-
900 copies are distributed annually,
through more than forty states and
a few copies are also sent abroad.
The present manager, Frank Letter,
says it creates unbelievable interest
throughout the nation and Lee Nc
Cardell said, "even the Ladies Home
Journal can't drive the Hagerstown
Almanack off the center table"
The publisher of this famous lit
tie annual, John Gruber, is said to
have had records of three and a half
centuries of his ancestry. For sew
eral generations they occupied "high
and honorable" positions at Mar
burg in Hesse. John Adam Gruber,
grandfather of the publisher, came
to America in 1926. He landed at
Philadelphia and settled at German
town. Ten years later, John Ever
hard Gruber was born. John be-
came a physician and, with his Phil
adelphia wife, the former Miss Chris
tiana Pain, spent the latter part of
his life with our John Gruber, in
Hagerstown.
John Gruber was born at Stras-
burg, Lancaster County, in 1853. He
was apprenticed to a Philadelphia
printer for six years. eve hope
not the first six.) Later, in San
Domingo for his health he set
French type for a newspaper. While
returning to his home he met Gen.
Samuel Ringgold, who persuaded
him to settle in Hagerstown, which
he did in 1895. Ringgold's object
was to use Gruber's newspaper ex-
perience to aid his own political
aims. Seldom does political' ambit-
ton reward a county with such
worth while things as Gruber and
his Almanack.
McCardell reports slightly diff
ferent course after Gruber left San
Domingo, claiming that he went to
Reading, Pa. where he worked on
another paper for Gotlaub jung
man, staying long enough to marry
Miss Catherine Allies. He then fol-
lowed the migrations of large num-
bers of church groups southwark
into the Cumberland Valley.
Arriving at Hagerstown, he first
set up his western Correspondent"
in German, and later, published
briefly, the Sentinel of Liberty"

The "Hagerstown AImanack"

John Gruber was at this time the
oldest and best known printer in
Maryland, but his really great work
was not in the newspaper field, but
a little annual, the famous "Hagers-
town Almanack."
On January 6, 1858, an article in
the "Herald of Freedom" stated
that: 81. Gruber's Hagers-Town
Town and Country Almanack has
done more than anything else to
make the name of Hagerstown IA
miliar throughout the United States.
Millions have been printed and sold,
circulating mainly in Virginia,
Maryland, Ohio, Indiana and Hi
nois. The German edition of this
famous publication was established
in 1895 Cor 179D, at time when
most church services in Hagerstown
were conducted in that language.
twenty-five years later an English
edition became necessary The
English edition grew rapidly but the
German diminished"
This is the Almanac we remember
from early school days, because of
the large multiplication table in
triangular form on its back. How
many of us, because Of it, remember
that IS x Is equals 625, but found
the 9th and 7th multiplication ia
bles much harder to remember! John
Gruber is credited with inventing
this form of table.
F. J. Waltz published an article
about the Almanac in 1905 in the
Popular Science Monthly. He said:
ssNearly all countries have had their
almanacs, particularly Germany and
England. In America, probably, the
almanac which has been more wide
w read and its weather forecasts
more generally credited than any
other is the Hagerstown Almanack
Mr.. Waltz says, however, that
weather predictions in the Altman
ack were based on the time OF the
day that the moon entered any one
of her four quarters, using a table
of the German astronomer Hershel
Yet it was these weather predictions
that made the Almanack famous.
When Taft was inaugurated, the
weather bureau predicted fair day
but Gruber called for a blizzard
and got it. For one hundred year:

1901

There was an unusual contest be-
tween the friends of Jefferson and
the Federalists in the election of
members to the Assembly and elect
ors of the State Senators in 1901.
The Jeffersonians had such a ma
iority that the Federalists made no
nominations. But just before cleo
ton the friends of Jefferson thought
they smelled a rat--or Federallst.
They became convinced that the
lack of a Federalist candidate was
a trick to keep Jeffersonians away
from the polls; no opposition called
for only a small Jefferson effort.
But rumor had it that a Federalist
candidate was to run at the last
minute and that he would be sec
reilly but strongly supported. The
excitement and suspense was not
relieved until election day brought
no opposing candidate.
By the next year there was an
anti-Jefferson movement and Bit
ter campaign. John Gruber was sec
reilly offered a sum of cash and a
guarantee of subscriptions if he
would support the new movement
against the Jeffersonians, through
his German language paper, "West-
ern Correspondent" He turned
the offer down and a few years
later, at the inducement of General
Samuel Ringgold, he brought out
"the Sentinel of Liberty" in English,
supporting the Jeffersonians, but the
paper lived only short time. Grub
er and his son-in-law, Daniel May,
continued to publish the western
Correspondent" however, until 1880.
1t is thought that the paper event
ually lost popularity because it was
printed in German, while most of
the reading public in HagerStown
could by this time read English.

Actual loading of the paracans is
easier, release is far more rapid,
