The following appealing poem
was written by Mrs. b. ]. HagedOrn,
wife of the Scout Executive, who
have to vacate their present home on
Avenue, by June 1. If
you have, or know of, house for
rent, won't you please phone the
Scout Office-the number is 1880.
This summer we expect to live
In a tent by babbling brook.
The choice is not ours, please
understand;
No matter how often we phone
or look,
We can't find home to rent!
We mustn't have pets to fondle,
they say;
Nor children to gladden. our days.
We strictly must be of the working
class
Just live in a money-making
haze
Or we'll find no home to rent!
Still we have faith in our fellow
men,
In them we have great belief.
We hope pretty soon they'll find
us a place,
T'would take away worry and add
relief
To find a home to rent!

Around Town With
The Editor
Annapolis
The Trading Center Of
Maryland!

If you think that terrific pressure
wasn't brought to bear on the Dele
gates to get them to agree to pass
the Sales Tax, read what Charles
M. See, the blind delegate from AL
legany County, has to say.
During Monday nights session
(when the Delegates switched and
passed the Sales Tax bilD Delegate
See arose on a point of personal
privilege and made the following
statement:
81 have been informed by my SUI
periOrs i'm the Workshop for the
Blind, that they have been called
by some unidentified administration
spokesman and informed that it
might not be possible to find funds
for the Workshop, if the Sales Tax
bin did not pass"
Continuing, the blind Delegate,
who has been a member of the House
since 1889, said
"This is asking me TO go against
the dictates of my conscience, or
see harm come to the program for
which | have fought since l became
a member of this House in 1889
-. feel aggrieved that these PEG
pie have tried to beat me into sub
mission"
Loud applause broke out from
every part of the House as the AL
legany Republican Delegate took
his seat - and then the Delegates
proceeded to pass the Sales Tax
bill by a vote of 70 to At The Sen
ate followed suit on Tuesday night.
Truly indeed, Annapolis is the
trading center of Maryland.
Don't forget the luncheon meeting
OF the Retailers Bureau tomorrow,
at the Hager House. The main bus
mess will be the election of officers
for the ensuing year.
Unless they get begged down in
the last minute rush of the State
Legislature, Hagerstown will have
two new bills on the statute books
next June.
One will permit the Mayor and
Council to set up a retirement sys-
tenn for all employees of the City
not already eligible for retirement.
The other will permit the Mayor
and Council to set up a civil service
and merit system.
1t is reasonable to suppose that
as soon as the bill becomes law, the
Mayor will ask the Council for
authority to set up the retirement
system, but it will be extremely in
teresting to see whether, or not, he
acts on the bill that permits the
merit system.
Wanta bet!

Howard A. Kelly, Jr., is cam
paign director for Maryland, and
Mrs. Jack Beachley is chairman of
the Washington County campaign
committee. The quota for the State
is 100000, with Washington Coun-
tvs goal being set at $4,000.
Elmer H. Bobst, National Chair
man of the 1947 drive, describes
this years appeal in these words:
This is the call of humanity-the
call that is coming from tens of
thousands who still have a chance
to live. Cancer is continuing to
take its appalling toll year after
year and will continue to do so
unless we materially increase the
force of our attack As estimated,
$4,000 Americans will die of can
Ger in 1947. One out of three of
these people might be saved by
early diagnosis and treatment"
Mrs. Roy D. Whitlock, State Com
mander of the Field Army for the
Maryland Division Of the American
Cancer Society, says: ''The Mary
land Division of the American Can
Ger Society, in cooperation with
the State Health Department and
the various local medical societies,
is rapidly expanding its Statewide
cancer control program"
Sixty per cent of the money col
lected in Maryland will remain in
this State to be devoted to research
and treatment. The other 40 per
cent will be turned over to national
headquarters for the furtherance of
its work.
Mrs. Beachley is now completing
plans for the local drive, full de-
tails of which. including the address
of the local campaign headquarters,
will be announced next week.
