AN ODE TO "IKE" DEIBERT

Well what do you know? Look
who's here!
We sing of the "Old Lamp Lighter"
And the postman on his rounds,
Praise those who make lighter
The day without bounds.
You point with pride and pleasure
To the Officer on the beat;
Feel in him you have a treasure
That admits of no defeat.
But have you ever worried
When tired and feeling blue?
And then been pleasantly greeted
With a "well how do you do"
If upon the local bus you ride
AS most of us usually do,
You hardly get inside the door
When a pleasant word greets you.
1t all seems so easy,
1t must come from the heart,
The world becomes more rosy,
You're off to a pleasant start.
The Dean of all the Bus Men
And one whom we all like,
Is that jolly, courteous fellow
Known to everyone as ike"
We have seen the aged rider 81
AS well as children, young and
shy,
Perk up and seem much brighter
And Ike's the reason why.
Well what do you know? Look
Who's here!

Around Town With
The Editor

Congratulations to r. Glenn Will
iams, Funkstown postmaster and
prominent in volunteer firemen ac-
tivities in the county, on being elect
ed president of the Maryland
Branch, National League of District
postmasters.
The election came at the end of
the two-day session of the leagues
annual convention, held at the Ho-
tel Alexander Monday and Tuesday.
If there is one man in Hagerstown
and Washington County who has
done more than anyone else in the
interest of preparedness in the
event some disaster should strike the
community, that man is John Dunn,
chairman for Washington County of
both the State of Maryland and Red
Cross disaster committees.
One thing Mr.. Dunn has been par
ticularly interested in, is the APP
pointment of number of members
of the various volunteer fire COM
panies as deputies, so that, in the
event of disaster, whether it be fire,
flood, or tornado, these men would
have the authority to act. Finally,
following a meeting, at which Mr..
Dunn strongly urged the appoint
.,,o,,4 of 4boeo Jap,,tiae 4ba choFiff
made the appointments and the men
were duly sworn in at specially
called meeting, with VIM. c. Ecton
being named captain of the new fire.
men deputies.
But the peculiar thing is, that,
despite the fact that Mr.. Dunn is
head of all disaster activities in the
county, and despite the fact that Mr..
Dunn has been particularly active in
getting the deputies appointed, he
was told nothing about the special
meeting called by Sheriff Baker, and
the first thing he knew about the
appointments was when he read the
news story in the papers next day
And then they wonder why bust
ness men are reluctant to take on
these voluntary jobs-jobs that often
take up more time and effort than
many men really have time to give
to them.
And now here's chance for some
one to really do a good turn.
It seems that DR.. Harry c. Grove
is the proud parent of young son
and that he has no intention of al
lowing the young gentleman to be
mistaken for a girl. To make doubly
sure that such a catastrophe should
not occur, the proud father has been
frantically searching every store in
Hagerstown for little cap for his
son and heir to wear, instead of
those sissy bonnets that most ba-
bies are decked out in. But so far,
he has been unsuccessful.
So, if you know where he can find
a cap that will fit the future "bowl-
ing champion of Hagerstown," his
dad has a couple of bowling trophies
in his office that he is right proud
of-won't you get in touch with him
right away.

Comptroller Talks
About the Sales Tax

Promises That Comptroller's
Office VIII Fully Cooperate
With Merchants-Urges Early
Application For State License.
The following statement was
made by James j. Lacy, State
Comptroller, at a recent meeting at
tended by more than 1900 Baltimore
merchants:
'"The tax enacted by the Legis-
lature in Maryland imposes a two
per cent (290) tax on retail sales, but
exempts and does not apply to pur-
chases of food, medicine, and many
other essential everyday commodi-
ties The Comptroller's office has
been given the duty of administer
ing and enforcing this new Retail
Sales Tax. The act becomes effec-
tive July LIST. In the relatively short
period of time between the signing
of the Act by the Governor and its
effective date, we have had to es-
semble staff of employees and set
up the administrative machinery for
putting the Act into operation. 1
believe 1 have been fortunate in Sc
curing the services Of Mr.. Walter E.
Kennedy, well known Baltimore
businessman, to head the new Re-
tail Sales Tax Division. Mr.. Ken
needy is man who has never before
held public office and did not seek
his present position. It was neces-
sary for me to use considerable per-
suasion to induce Mr.. Kennedy to
serve his State at this time. We
have done our best to assemble a
courteous and competent group Of
people, and it will be the policy of
the Comptroller's Office, in the ex-
ercise of the authority granted the
Comptroller under the terms of the
Act, to administer the Act fairly
and with as little hardship and in
convenience to the people affected
as possible. It is not our intention
to put Maryland business people out
of business or to work undue hard
ship upon them.
We have the duty of enforcing
this Act, and I can assure you that
whatever latitude is allowed me as
administrator of this Act within the
terms of the statute itself will be
taken full advantage of to make the
operation of the new law as fair and
as reasonable as it is humanity pos
sible to do so.
my Office has this job to perform,
and I pledge you it will be done to
the best of our ability. You, as citi-
zens of this State, have vital inter
est in the welfare of the State, and,
consequently, I earnestly solicit
your wholehearted cooperation in
the carrying out of this new Act.
Under the terms of the Act,
every person or business engaged in
making retail sales must secure a
license from the Comptroller's Of
flee before July 1st. Applications for
these licenses may be secured at Is
West Baltimore Street, in Baltimore
City, or in any of the Court Houses
in the counties throughout the State.
Everyone required to obtain such a
license is urged to do so immediate
ly. 1t is estimated that fifty thous-
and such licenses will be issued. The
issuance of such large number of
licenses involves an immense
amount of work, and consequently,
it would be appreciated if the pub
Lie would cooperate with us and OBJ
tain these licenses Immediately and
not be involved in a last-minute
rush that will inconvenience every
one concerned"

An anthropologist took America
apart phychologically yesterday and
found its position in the post-atom
bomb world is raradoxical.
DR.. Margaret Mead, widely trav-
eled student of human culture pat
terms, told those attending the con-
temporary interests lecture series at
the Hotel Statler, that Americans
"have had no practice at behaving
like strong power"
Most Americans, she said, still
consider themselves as minorities
This, she said, is because the
country was settled by minorities-
people who were willing to dig their
heels in against the dictates of the
majority and keep them dug in.
Americans think of themselves as
a young and naive country which
frequently has had the wool pulled
over it's eyes by older, more mature
nations. This has given rise to
the lets-not-get-played-for-a-Suc-
ker" attitude.
But the atomic bomb suddenly has
given America the power to wreck
the world, although not the power
to save the world alone, she said.
Despite this, DR.. Mead contended,
the firmly lodged minority attitude
remains.
The solution to the paradox, she
said, is to keep on thinking of our

Speakers Are Optimistic.
Businessmen who addressed yes
terday's sessions were uniformly op-
timistic over the business outlook
for the present year.
Ralph j. Cordiner, vice president
of the General Electric Co., said
general predictions of a 1947 recess
sion would not apply to electrical
products because of the Compare
lively conservative price increase
in electrical consumer goods and due
to the tremendous backlog of de-
mand."
Donald B. Tansill, vice president
of the Pepperell Manufacturing Co.,
makers of rayon, said he expected
the margin of profit in the industry
to work its way down gradually"

year from now the prices of cotton
goods may average lower than they
are today, but there should be no
precipitate Drop" he said.
Shields Sees Readjustment.
Murray Shields, vice president of
the Bank of Manhattan Co., said
he thought the readjustment Pc
riod, which will start this year, will
be one of keen competition" with
many price adjustments. He pre-
dicted farm prices would fall but
would still remain above prewar
levels. He also forecast declines
in real estate prices and building
costs.
The federation was told by Under
secretary of Commerce William G..
Foster that customers are becom-
ing more selective than a few
months ago." and were advised that
retailers will have to revive older
techniques of personalized selling
to meet competition and encourage
a high volume Of consumer pur-
chases."
Rilea w. Doe, vice president Of
Safeway Stores, Inc, advised the
members to cultivate good public
relations by having good products
to sell and by using original ideas
to advertise them.
