Around Town With
The Editor

The Mayor and Council, at spec
ial meeting held in the City Hall on
Tuesday afternoon, voted for Day
light Saving Time for Hagerstown,
effective April %. So. remember,
before you go to bed on Sunday
night, April q, to put your clocks
and watches ahead one hour, or
you'll be late for work on Monday
morning.
l understand that the Mayor and
Council, in making the decision,
were influenced by the fact that they
approved Daylight Saving last year,
when Hagerstown was the only city
in the State to go on fast time,
and so they felt that they could
hardly back down this year when
Baltimore and other cities were fol-
lowing the example Hagerstown had
previously set.
While Middletown, Maryland
(where The Globe-Independent is
printed, may not go on Daylight
Saving Time, they've got it all over
Hagerstown as far as telephone SER
vice is concerned Middletown, like
Hagerstown, has manual phones, but
unlike Hagerstown, the operators
are staying on the job and giving
service to the community. The same
thing is true of all exchanges in
Washington County = except, OF
course Hagerstown where the oper-
ators are not on strike, but are just
refusing to cross picket lines.
AS far as l am concerned, the
calling of the telephone strike was
no surprise. In fact have been eX-
pecting 1t ever since the telephone
company Sraised its rates. And here's
something else. It is my belief that
unless something is done-and done
quickly-to curb the steadily climb
ing price spiral, you and l will have
to do without lot of things be-
sides telephone service.
1 regret that the story on the Star
Course of the 7th Annual Lutheran
Leadership Training School, which
begins on Monday night, April IA,
at 7:30 p. m. in the auditorium of st.
Johns Lutheran Church and con-
tinues for five Monday nights, was
received too late for this issue. We
will, however, in next weeks issue,
carry the full story of the last four
weeks of the course.

EASIER DAY WAS HAPPY TIME FOR
 JUNEAU kiDDlEs

Yesterday Mas a -lappy Gay for the kiddies. as with scrubbed and shining faces, the little girls with their new hair ribbons set at the perkiest algle and the little boys conscious of the extra shine on their shoes, they set out on their traditional visits around the neign- borhood, carrying gayly decorated Easter baskets for their friends.
 There was also the fun of find ing cute little bunnies on their nests of eggs, which seemed to turn up in the most unexpected places
 After Sunday School and church, where they were on their very best behavior even though as one young ster said she was all "squiggly' in side with excitement, the children started out, carefully shielding their precious baskets from stray rain drops, inquisitive dogs and impet- uous "let me see" rushes by other youngsters.

Scant progress was made against social diseases until the Surgeon General of the United States and the publishing industry succeeded in making syphilis and gonorrhea words which could be discussed publicly Thereafter but cny thereafter possible to make frontal attack upon the diseases which caused so much suffering, mnhappness, disablement and even death Today they much nearer control than ever before-thanks manly to the perfection of the new wonder drugs. But penicillin and the sulfas alone would have been incapable of awestng the spread of social disease if public educational campaign had not been possible
 Ii seems to us that comparable pubic service is being performed by the Wcman's Home Companion in it's current issue when it deals factually with the subject of abortion. Not nappropriaey the article is entitled, Abortion Is An Ugly Word
 The magazine article cites authoTitys testimony that drug on earth taken by mouth will produce abortion yet a great volume of alleged abortiacients sold each year with varying degree of harm to the users. Tn instance Nazi drug house introduced paste abortifacient into the United States after being outawed in Germany when many women died were permanently injured by the product. Various other drugs illegally used in this country in attempted ebertons have led to mild poisoning in aggravated cases, gangrene. heart failure and death
 The threat of dangerous abortifacients is by no means limited to women indulging in sexual promi- scuy. The Companion writer found that 90 per cent of all illegal abortions in the vicinity of Washington as an instance were induced by married women be tween the ages of 25 and 35 who already the mothers of three children and had convinced themselves for economic or domestic reasons they should not have another child.

BONDS FOR EVERYBODY

Those government bonds held by banks are an infationary factor Those held by individuals do not in the same way serve to support inflated price structure The ideal policy, doubtless would be to begin paying off the bonds held by banks, leaving the remainder for more distant time when Congress is in more of mood for repayment of the national debt The next best course perhaps, is the one the Treasury is undertaking-a campaign to induce banks to launch bond month program, to get more bonds into the hands of depostors
 Such a program. to the extent that it is suc- cessful would have several advantages It would re- duce the infIationary effect of the present immense national indebtedness. It would absorb that much consumer purchasing power and take the pressure off of prices, which still tending upward It would give every participating bank deposor further stake in the financial integrity of the American Government and an additional incentive support sound fiscal program.
 On top Of all this, it is surely healthy thing for a very large number of people to have the cushion of a few bonds against the time when their incomes may be interrupted their obligations for sickness other emergency suddenly increased
 The bond month program is not full sub stitute prompt and rapid of the national debt. But in the present temper of Congress it does not look as though any great will be set aside, this year next debt retirement Facing that fact realistically the Treasury does well foment this scheme to get a larger proportion of outstanding bonds into the hands of individual citizens.

Wage Policy and the Budget
CNew York Times

Philip Murray and other labor leaders with the Nathan report springboard declare that corporate profits at the present time excessive and urge that part of this excess-about ST blions-be turned over to union labor in the form of higher wages
 The question whether corporate profits are or are not excessive" has been debated length, as has the theory of ability to pay criterion for wage increases But there is aspect of this issue which though of secondary importance to these con- alterations merits attention than it has thus far received This the question of the effect of such a division income taxes and hence on the whole subject of the national budget
 study just published by the National Industrial Conference Board takes up among other things. this neglected implication of the wage proposals For every $l billion that such wage increases would take from corporate income, it is pointed out the tax loss the Government would be about S380 millions This would be only partly offset by the higher individual income which would result and in consequence, the net tax less would be somewhere between S200 millions and S250 millions per Sl billion. In other words diversion of SIT billions from corporate net income would the Treasury between S35 billions and S4 billions. What that would terms of the Federal budget may be from the fact that even the lower figure slightly exceeds the loss in receipts which would be entailed in a tax reduction of 20 per cent

A recent report by Kahre lists such violations as QD accumulated coal dust and open electrical equip men. which constitute a fire and explosion hazard C2) unsafe tim bering and loose roofing; (3) only 2,060 cubic feet of air a minute is pumped in, instead of the standard 5000 feet; A weekly air readings not made; C5) weekly gas tests nos made; (6) dry, instead of wet. rock dlilling-a dust-explosion haz- ard 6 inadequate first-aid and fire-tighting equipment under ground.

MINERS AT FAULT, TOO

As indicated by the above, nine safety is not always one-way proposition. The miners also are sometimes at fault. It is hard to get them not to carry matches and to smoke underground. And, de- spite the fact that they are re- Quired to wear rubber -soled shoes they sometimes come in with hob- nailed shoes, which strike sparks and ignite gases. Also some miners still wear non-regulation caps = sometimes the fault of the mine operators who fail to make mod ern caps available
 On the other hand, mine owners have difficulty these days in get ting new power fans to suck the air in and out of mine shafts. New fans have been ordered by many mines, but delivery has been very slow because of curtailed war pro- duction
 Note-Under Federal operation mine fatalities dropped to 72 per month from 93 per month under private operation.

Weather on Easter Day was di- versified but clear enough in the forenoon hours to permit the la dies to wear their latest as they went to the various worship places
 There was a snow storm early in the morning, starting shortly after am, but by sun up, most of the snow had disappeared.
 During the forenoon it was clear with an occasional sprinkle but the rain drops stopped about 9:45, and children romped to Sunday Schools and adults trooped to church services. It kept clear un- til mid-a1ternoon then it began to sprinkle and it rained during the evening.
