bill and Hagerstown has had taste
of better government
The government at that time was
to consist of the Mayor, who was to
be elected for a two year term, and
one Councilman from each of the
five wards then comprising the city.
But oddly enough, the source of my
information, after describing the
birth pains of the new government,
fails to name the first officials in
1848.
Wanting to have my story COM
plete, l got on the phone and called
"a present city official He didn't
know who the first mayor and coun-
ell were, but suggested that if 1
called Mr.. So and So, he could tell
me. But Mr.. So and So didn't know
either, and he referred me to Mr..
So and So the End When l reached
about the tenth Mr. So and So, l was
referred back to number one, but l
decided not to go around the cir
cult again.
So if any of you readers know
who the first mayor and council
were, let me know, and l will com
plete the story next week
Whereas the first officials were
elected for term of only two years,
the present term is for four years.
But the five wards have not changed
in number, so Hagerstown's Mayor
and Council consists of the same
number of members as the first
board, back in 1848

"The Army Ground Forces, be-
ing constantly aware of the world
wide critical food situation, is con-
tinually intensifying its program
of instruction in preparation and
serving of food with special en-
phasis on food conservation. In

distinguished itself especially in
the campaign of Alsace During

enemy artillery, it accomplished
all the delicate missions assigned
to it.
