ions, and principally Mahatma Gan
dhi, with whom she had an inter-
view of about four hours before his
death.
Her eyewitness experience, to-
gether with her tremendous under
standing of human nature and great
ability to describe incidents and
settings so wildly, made it possible
for her to give the frst-hand infor-
nation she did about the country
which Mahatma Gandhi served, TO
say nothing of his appearance and
manner, his fasting, and his dedi-
cation of self to the simple ways of
life, guided always by his intense
religious beliefs.
Having told about all the interest
ing experiences she had in India,
Miss Bourke-Wight rounded out
her lecture by answering several
pertinent questions asked by mem
bers of the audience. 1t did their
hearts good to hear her tell that
Stain is the craven image we all
imagined him to be.
And there couldn't have been a
better ending to a lecture by
member of the female sex, than to
have her give the background of
the beautiful dress of gold cloth
she was wearing, the material for
which was given to her in India,
the dress being designed by one of
her personal friends, one of Holly
woods fashion artists.
Miss Bourke- Wight not only lee
tured about India and some of her
war experiences, but she endeared
herself to the audience by giving
them through her gracious, charm
ing manner, a perfect example of
American womanhood at its best.

Artists Paintings
Hung At Museum
26 Paintings And Prints Of
Robert J. Mcmahon, OF Cham
bersburg, Now Displayed At
County Museum.

Here are few institutions of pub
lie information, enjoyment and schol-
arship that are forced to display
the energy of a museum. 1t is taken
for granted that museums are the
custodians of past knowledge and
culture, but they have to encourage
the art of today and be alert for the
art of tomorrow which grows owt of
experiments.
In line with this policy, the Wash
ington County Museum of Fine Arts
has opened a gallery hung with
twenty-six paintings, prints and
sketches (all in a variety of media)
of Robert J. Mcmahon, which may
now be seen Tuesdays through Fri
days from 1000 a. m. to 500 p. m,
and on Sundays and holidays from
100 to 500 p. m. The museum is
not open on Mondays.
The artist, who resides in Cham
bersburg, Pa, is instructor in art at
Wilson College. He began his active
career in art with the> WPA Project
in Des Moines, Iowa. From 1913 to
1947 he attended the State Univer-
sity of Iowa, studying with the we'll
known contemporary artists, Hum
bert Albrizio, Stuart Edie, Philip
Custom and James Lechay. He has
exhibited at the Iowa State Univer-
sity, the Iowa State Fair, the Den
yer Art Museum, the Philadelphia
Academy of Arts and the National
Academy in New York. Visitors will
remember his striking award win
ner in the past years exhibition OF
Cumberland Valley Artists.
Mr.. Mcmahon is frankly still in
an experimental phase of his career
Yet throughout his work he demon
strates a wide range of technical
abilities and an intuitive process OF
creative feeling. His is a talent, not
fully crystallized, which is capable
of energetic realization.

The third in the series of lectures
being sponsored by the Washington
County Teachers Association will
long be remembered in the minds
and hearts of the capacity audience
who on Monday night heard Mar
garet Bourke-Wight, photographer,
lecturer and author speak on the
subject, Behind The Lenses"
Miss Bourke-Wight, having trav-
eled extensively in the capacity of
photographer for Life Magazine,
was during the war accredited to
the Air Corps and began her lee
ture with her experiences as one
of fifty passengers in life boat,
after the ship on which she was
travelling was torpedoed. Kay Sum-
mersby,. who wrote the book, els
enhower Was My Boss" was a fell
low passenger in the life boat at
that fateful time.
Miss Bourke-Wight then entered
into an unusually interesting and
delightful discussion of the country
of India, from where she returned
some months ago. She told her au-
dience the truth about Mahatma
Gandhi, who departed this life at
the hands of an assassin some
months ago.
Gandhi was moral leader in In
dia, very, very orthodox and yet
quite sincere in his beliefs, accord
ing to Miss Bourke- Wight. She very
wildly described incidents in India
which she witnessed and photo
graphed during her almost two-year
stay in that country.
During Miss Bourke- Wight's visit
there, she did lot more than SNAP
few pictures, you can be sure.
She studied the people, the relig.

ABOUND TOWN
WITH THE EDITOR

Mr.. Steinhauer's hilarious, but
withal, profitable address, was based
on his experiences when young
lad, as clerk in his fathers general
store at Lemoyne, Pa, and while he
had his audience shrieking with
laughter, he nevertheless proved
that he knew his retailing. Then,
as all good speakers do, he ended
his talk on a serious vein, as, switch
ing from the retailers angle to the
customers, he gave his audience
something real to chew on, in re-
CARDS to customer service"
And while on the subject of the
Retailers meeting, l am glad to be
able to report that the members of
the Bureau are making a determined
effort to get the Christmas street
decorations, discontinued since the
outbreak of World War II, reinstat-

bers present at the meeting, the
president of the Bureau, Parke
Geiger, Jr., was instructed to APP
point a committee to wait on the

corated this Christmas, and to inform
the city fathers that the Retailers
will be glad to share the expense OF
such decorations, as was done be-
fore the war.

Don't Let Holiday
Mail Be "Nixies"
That's What They Will Be If
You Don't Address Them Cor
rectly.

In the colorful jargon of post of
flee mail carriers, unbelievable
mail is known as mikes" so If you
don't want your Christmas card or
other holiday mail, to become mix
ies," Postmaster Thomas M. Simp-
son reminds you to address them
clearly and fully, and also to be
sure that your stamps are firmly on
the envelopes.
The Postmaster also wishes to re-
mind you that all packages and all
Christmas cards for out-of-state de-
livery should be in the Post Office
by December 10, and all cards for
local delivery should be mailed at
least week before Christmas. An
other tip that will help your mail
get to- its destination quickly is to
write out "Hagerstown, Md" in
stead of just using the word Getty.
Sometimes you know, a letter gets
in the wrong mail pouch, and if il
just has the word "City" for the
name of the town, it might end up
in the dead letter Office in Los An
geles or Jersey City.
Finally, if you use 1R-cent stamps
for your Christmas cards, please be
certain that the envelop is not seal
ed, and that there are no personal
messages written on the card-just
your handwritten, or printed, sig
nature.

Authors New Book
"The Maryland Germans"
Traces History OF German
Families From Pioneer Days
To The Present.

The story of the Maryland Ger
mans from the timid beginnings of
German immigration into the Cal
vert Colony to the present day is
told in Dieter Cunz's new book Tl@
Maryland Germans. The book was
just published by Princeton Univer-
sity Press and is now on sale. at To-
cal book stores.
Mr.. CUM, professor of history at
the University of Maryland, tells the
story of the pious Amish and the
10Th century agnostic, the city Ia
borer and Western Maryland farmer,
the Bremen merchant and steerage-
class immigrant. He tells of the
life of these first families and carries
their history up to the present when
the "last American gener-
alton" is being integrated into the
American population.
The author considers the problem
of the Americanization of this group:
when, how. and under what cir
cumstances did they throw off their
German past, and how fast and how
thoroughly did they become Amer
leans?
