Photographic Salon
Will Open March 5
Judging Of Entries, To Which
Photographers Are Invited, To
Take Place At Museum On
Evening Of March a.

Photographic activity is surging
ahead along with the other arts, if
the entry list to the 18th Annual
Cumberland Valley Photographic
Salon, to be held at the Washington
County Museum of Fine Arts, from
March through April A, is an in
dex. The Photographic Salon is the
second sponsored by the Museum.
The Jury for this years show will
meet at pm. on Thursday, March
4, in the Museum galleries, for an
open judging of the 1913 prints from
AZ photographers submitted to the
exhibit, from which those selected
by the judges for hanging will be
chosen. Regional photographers and
their friends are invited and well
come to attend the Judging. I
The open character of the judg-
ing is new and novel departure in
Salon judging. The Washington
County Museum has used it on only
one previous occasion, in 1945.
Though some of the comments of the
Jury are likely to be a bit tough on
the photographer whose print is be-
ing discussed, there is much of prof
it for him and the entire audience.
Each individual photograph is YER
bally dissected; its merits are brought
out and its defects scored in the de
bate of the Jury Print processes
are argued in detail by the three
some in whose hands are held the
fate of the prints. This is not neces-
sarily intended for the benefit of
the audience, but is intended by the
arguer to convince fellow-jurors of
the validity of certain print.
Sometimes the debate is heated,
sometimes easy-going when obvious
faults or assets bring an immediate
rejection or acceptance. At all times,
though, it is informative.
The Jury this year is composed of
A. Aubrey Bodine, famous for his
photography in the Baltimore Sun
day Sun and Salon juryman of
note (for instance, he has served on
the Pittsburgh Jury, the most fam
Gus of Salons, on more occasions
than any other photographer; Mark
Mooney Jr., Technical Editor of
Camera Magazine; and William NJ
Won Schultz, Jr., an instructor in
the Baltimore Institute of Photo
graphy. All these are photograph
ers of exceptional merit and under
standing, well able to select the fin
est examples of the years photo
graphy in the Cumberland Valley
area.

Cheaper To Buy Quality Chicks

One way in which Maryland poul-
trymen can combat the present high
cost of feed is to buy good quality
chicks. So says Dr. Morley A. JUL
head of the Poultry Department al
the University of Maryland One
important characteristic of good
quality chicks is rapid growth, he
points out, citing figures to show
that some fast growing birds use 16
percent less feed than slow growing
birds.

wake up to the fact that elections
are not won in last minute f1urries,
but that they require careful, long

There will be city election in
Hagerstown next year, and if you
read Monday evenings Daily Mail
and Tuesday mornings Herald, you
will see that the Democratic Party
has already started their campaign
for the next city election, with
statement from Mayor Sweeney of
the accomplishments of the present
administration.
If the Republican Party is going
to win the city election next year
(and to win it they must not only
elect a Mayor, but majority of the
Council), then party factions should
be buried and buried now, and
determined effort made to lay the
:, real groundwork for winning cleo
ton.
- According to a front-page story in
last weeks issue of the Montgomery
County Maryland News" the Mont
gomery County Council of Parent
Teacher Associations will recon-
mend to its "a constituent local
P-T.A.'s for ratification, the follow
ing resolution, which the council has
adopted:
Montgomery County School
Board members should be elected
instead of appointed by the Gov
ernor; the election should be on a
non-partisan basis; members should
serve without compensation; the
board should consist of seven mem
bers instead of six as at present;
present members should complete
their terms of office and be eligible
for further service; legislation should
be sought to permit citizens to vote
on these proposed changes"
In announcing the adoption of the
resolution, the chairman of the COM
mittee which conducted the study
and prepared the resolution, made
it clear that the councils plan to
have county school board members
elected, was in no way criticism
of Montgomery County's present
Board of Education.
The resolution adopted by the
Montgomery County Council of
Parent Teacher Associations is pc
culiarly interesting to Washington
County, due to the fact that both
counties are in exactly the same po-
litical position-their Boards of
County Commissioners are FREEDOM
inately Republican, while their
School Boards are predominately
Democratic.
1t will be interesting to note the
reaction of the various P-TA. groups
in Montgomery County to the pro-
posed resolution.

Jet Pilot Promises His Best:
Air Show Costs His Life

Without a hitch, the pilots took
of and landed. formed into flights
of four or eight for gunnery prac-
tice on a patch of green-dyed water
and screamed close along side in a
speed run of more than $50 miles
an hour, each pulling up in a
smooth roll.
Between flights, the pilots talked
with reporters in the ward room.
What were the special problems in
volved in landing jet planes on car
riers? None, except about 10 miles
an hour higher landing speed, and
less power at low attitudes. The
better visibility over the nose of the
Phantom" makes 1t actually easier
to land than a conventional fighter.
Was it hard to hit a target with the
"Phantom's" four 50-caliber machine
guns? About as hard as watering
garden. All the guns are grouped
in the nose, new sight is used
and, above all, there is no propeller
torque to throw you off in skid.
How did it feel to be shot of by
catapult? Fine. Just like being
kicked in the butt with lead boot" :"
BY lunch time it was in the bag.
All is planes of Fighting TIA had
screamed off the deck in the final
takeof1, "buzzed" the ship in close
formation for the benefit of the
newsreel cameramen, and disap-
peared in the direction Of their base

Admiral Robbins and the other
high-ranking officers aboard the
Saipan were we'll pleased. The
young man and his pilots had put
on a fine show.
Distress Signal Gives Word.
1t was about a half hour later
that a queer change of mood began
to spread over the ship. Smiles
faded from the faces of officers and
members of the crew. Newsmen
summoned by loudspeaker to the
wardroom found the music Of the
radio silenced for the first time
since the cruise began. Admiral
Robbins was there to meet them.
A distress signal from one of the
planes of Fighting TIA had been
intercepted by a torpedo bomber
and relayed to the ship. 1t was
incoherent and fragmentary. but
it told the story.
Commander Fuoss's plane, ap-
preaching for landing at the air
port, had suddenly broken in half,
just behind the engines, plunged
INTO the waters Of Narragansett
Bay. All planes would be grounded
pending an investigation. Divers
were being sent out. -.
There would be no more inter-
views with pilots of the squadron
left on the ship, the admiral said.
It was the Navy's first jet fatality.
