Four Don'ts For
Sales Tax Returns

Baltimore, Sept. 8: Merchants
making sales tax returns for the
month of August are warned again
by James J. Lacy, Comptroller and
administrator of the act, not to do
four things, to wit:
Don't send currency or coins.
2 Don't send stamps.
3 Don't send the duplicate form.
Don't forget to sign your name
to your check.
Carelessness or thoughtlesSness Tor
call it what you willy on the part of
the aforementioned "don'ts" in filling
returns for July, the first month of
the sales tax operation. The same
mistakes made in August for the
July returns already are cropping
up in early returns now for the
month of August.
Confusion has been caused and
considerable time lost in the main
office at Is West Baltimore street
because returns have been made on
duplicate forms The original re-
turn should be used, Mr.. Lacy point
ed out, because the name and code
number of the taxpayer and file
number designating his business and
its location had been written on the
original form.

He pointed out that the dust con-
troll division of the business is an
ever increasing part, with wide APP
plication throughout the processing
industries. 1t is almost always sup
piled with blast cleaning equipment,
but by no means limited to that APP
plication. Stove manufacturers, ce-
ment mills, coal mines, textile plants
and food professors all have con
slant need for dust control <
Mr.. Pangborn stated that since the
business was founded in 1904 many
thousands separate machines have
been built and installed all over the
country. $4,000 of these machines
serve industry today. Several in
dividual companies have made
equipment purchases totaling over
one million dollars per company"
He then stressed that all business is
secured under strict competitive
conditions. There has been no cost
plus sales on the Pangborn books.
Every order entered has been award
ed after the company makes a firm,
steady and clear bid at a price which
includes engineering, fabrication and
erecting costs.

In conclusion, Mr.. Pangborn in
vited all those present to make up
into groups of ten persons to be es-
corted through the fifteen shops and

our business life to conduct, honestly
and faithfully, a business that justi-
fled confidence and faith in us, our
town and our product-and the re-
sulting encouragement and support
given us by our customers and
friends at home, make us believe
this policy has been a worthy one
in the past-and a worthy one to
follow through years to come"

Women's Clubs At
The Pangborn Plant

The members of the various Wash
ington County professional and
business women's clubs were the
guests of the Pangborn Corporation
at a combined picnic luncheon in

Participating in the group outing
were: the membership of the Bust
ness and Professional Woman's Club,
the American Association Univer-
sity Women's Club, the Zonta Club
and the Meridian Club, with more
than two hundred present.
Thomas w. Pangborn and his
brother John C. Pangborn greeted
the guests as thy assembled IN the
park, and after the luncheon intro
duced a group of fifteen plant off
Gals who escorted the ladies on
personally conducted tours through
the Pangborn Corporation plant.
During this special feature of the
meeting the lady visitors had an op-
portunity to see all operating de-
partments, shops and offices of the
concern. Throughout the tour the
many interesting processes required
to build the many various types of
Pangborn equipment-together with
the uses these machines serve in the
worlds metal industries-were fully
described.
One of the spectacular operations
enjoyed by the guests, was the work
in the foundry. Here they saw hot
molten metal taken from the cupu-
los and poured by skilled worknen
into sand moulds that form an i'm
portant and fascinating part of the
business of building Pangborn ma
chimes.

A group of mora than one nun
dred Rotarians, fifteen Pangborn Of
ficials and five guests (shown above)
assembled last Wednesday noon
under the shade trees of Pangborn
Park for picnic luncheon of fried
chicken, peas, french fries and other
delicacies. Monsignor Leary pro-
nounced the Invocation, after which
Rotarian president Armand Hall
called the meeting to order, and after
dispensing with all regular business,
introduced the host, Thomas w.
Pangborn, president of Pangborn
Corporation.
After paying tribute to the i'm
portant work Hagerstown service
clubs do in serving the community,
Mr.. Pangborn explained briefly the
place Pangborn equipment occupies
in industry, explaining that 'Blast
cleaning engages in wide range of
application. The metal trades, with
few exceptions, use, in one form or
another, blast cleaning equipment.
This equipment varies in cost from
5000 to $4,000 and more. A recent
order received from one of the large
corporations was in excess of
500. 600"

Enrolment High In Old Brick Sidewalk
City County Schools On Jonathan Goes

Perhaps you were interested dur
ing the past week in the tearing up
of the sidewalk on the North Jona-
than Street side of the Hotel Han8
iton. And perhaps also you were
wondering just how long that old
curbing and sidewalk had been
there. Well, so was your reporter.
Upon investigating the matter and
talking to several old-timers, it was
generally agreed that the sidewalk
and curling were put down about
the time the Hamilton Hotel was
built-1883. It is also believed that
the rock used for the curbing was
the same rock removed when the
foundation for the hotel was dug.
The old walk was made of brick,
with the heavy rock being used for
the curb, and some of the pieces of
rock removed show very plainly
where repairs had to be made
when the old horse hitching posts
of days gone by were removed-to
give way in time to the present day
parking meters.
And so that end of Jonathan
Street gets some new and modern
sidewalk and curling, and another
relic of Hagerstown's Horse and
Buggy Days fades into the memory
of the past.

Around Town With
The Editor
1t Never Fails

Circumstances beyond my control
made it necessary to come out with
an eight-page paper this week, in
stead of the customary ten. So what
happens? We are simply deluged
with last minute news and adver-
Using, whereas in other weeks we
often have to call up to get the news
we want
But please keep that news COM
ing all the time, as next week we
will be back on our regular ten-page
schedule.
And due to being held to eight
pages this week, an editorial on the
Charter Commission, scheduled for
this issue, will have to be held over
until next week However, it will be
just as pertinent then and l hope
you will read it.
You would only need to attend
one meeting of the Board of Direct
ors of the Hagerstown Chamber of
Commerce to realize that this organi-
cation is doing a really fine job.
These regular meetings of the board
are now thrown open to the press,
that being just one of the innova-
tions made by the board in order
to keep the public fully acquainted
with what the Chamber is trying to
do.
AS I have mentioned in this col
umn before, the Chamber, while
keeping its eye on national affairs
that affect this community, is pri-
marily concerned with living up to
its slogan of Making Hagerstown a
better place in which to live and
make a living"
At Mondays board meeting six
important local projects were
okayed, they being: traffic, air ser
vice, publicity, more general men,
bership meetings, fire prevention
and city planning and coming.
Last week / said it would be inter
esting to see how many of the five
Hagerstown citizens recently APP
pointed to the newly appointed
Rent Appeal Board would be pres
ent at the first meeting. 1t now ap-
pears that the answer will be
None" as I understand that all five
appointees have refused to serve.
This is just another instance of
officialdom stepping out and making
appointments for this and that,
without consulting those concerned.
Most people are civic minded and
are willing to make sacrifices to
help their community, but they
want to put their efforts where they
can do the most good, and they re-
sent being showed on to this COM
mittee and that, without being ex-
tended the courtesy of asking
whether they care to serve.
