Hospital Drive Is
Off To Fine Start

AT the dinner meeting of the
Washington County Hospital build
ing fund general committee held
some weeks ago, when plans were
formulated for a campaign TO raise
building fund Of 81 100000 TO pro-
vide for an enlarged hospital for
Hagerstown and Washington Coun-
ty, representative of the doctors
Of the county announced that they
would pledge $l25,000 of the fund
or in other words. 10 per cent of
the total.
Since then Elmer NJ Funkhouser,
general chairman of the fund, has
announced that every member of the
board Of trustees Of the hospital has
made his personal subscription to
the fund and that the subscriptions
totaled $4,000 In making public
the action taken by the trustees, Mr..
Funkhouser pointed out that they
were generous individual subscrip-
tons to the building fund and do
not include contributions which will
come later from the individuals
business interests.
r. Paul Smith, chairman Of the
committee on corporation subserip-
tions, also announced last week that
the first report Of his committee
showed that three corporations have
subscribed a total Of $86,500 to the
fund The three corporations con
cerned were: the Victor Products
Corporation, with subscription Of
$4,000; the Funkhouser Company,
with subscription Of 5000; and
a third company which prefers to
remain anonymous, subscription
of $22,5O0.
These initial subscriptions from
the medical profession, the members
Of the board of trustees of the hos
pital, and corporations, augur well
for the successful continuation Of
the drive to relieve the present
critical shortage of hospital accom-
modations, as well as the establish
ment of a great health center, fully
capable of meeting our needs through
years to come.

Guard Against Fire
During Christmas

Phil Ryan, Chairman of the Fire
Prevention Bureau Of the Maryland
State Firemen's Association, in com
menting on the increased danger Of
fires in the homes during Christmas
time, stated that "A Safe Christmas
means a Happy New Year"
He further remarked that inham-
able tree ornaments, faulty cleo
trical wiring and overloaded cleo
trical circuits account for many fires
in the homes.
AS to the tree itself Ryan said,
I'VE cannot expect a Christmas tree
to sing How Dry Am as warn
ing of impending danger to the
homemaker, but the homenaker can
set the tree in a pan of water to re-
duce its infamambility."

Piano Ensemble In
Delightful Concert
Third Concert OF Civic Music
Association By Four Gifted
Pisnists Wins High Praise OF
Capacity Audience.

The third in the current series Of
concerts under the auspices of the
Hagerstown Civic Music Association
was presented last Wednesday eve
ming in the Hagerstown High School
auditorium by Sylvia Dickler, Aud
rey Hooper, Stephen Kovacs and
Hans Heidemann, in a four piano
ensemble, before an audience that
filled the auditorium both upstairs
and down, and seldom has this re-
viewer heard such efTortless and
facile technique displayed by con
temporary pianists. The synchron-
ization and general esprit de
corps by the four artists has rare
~ been excelled.
Opening the concert with an or
gan concerto in ID minor by Viii
helm Freidemann Bach (the son Of
Johann Sebastian Bach), they pro-
crossed to the lovely "Eine Kleine
Nachtmusik," by Mozart, and thence
to the brilliant and scintillating
Variations on a theme of Beethov-
en-" composed by Saint-Saens. In
this latter horid number, particular
ly, was the nawless and impeccable
technique of the artists especially
obvious.
The second half of the program,
in a more popular vein, unquestion-
ably appealed to the majority of the
audience, and their reaction was
probably a routine experience to the
quartet during their tour. The ever
popular Sabre Dance" by Aram
Khatchatourian; the "Fledermaus
Waltzes,' by Johann Strauss; and
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. "The Flight of
the Bundle Bee" were received
with tremendous applause.
In the concluding number of this
group-"Broadway and Forty sec
ond Strickland in an encore num-
ber-"The Beer Barrel Polka the
pianists showed themselves COM
plete masters of the modern idiom
and even so-called "boogie-woogie,"
and the two numbers fairly panick-
ed the younger generation particu-
larly.
A generous measure of encores
was given, and to this reviewer a
memorable highlight of the evening
was their charming rendition OF one
of the encore numbers-the Chopin
"Nocturne." The lovely basic mel
ody was embellished by a cascade
of limpid and ripping roulades and
arpeggios, which created a ravishing
effect. u. u

Baseball Livelier?

RH FRANK Eek
AP Newsfeatures Sports Editor


NEW YORK - If the lively bali
has done anything for baseball, the
hitters haven't noticed it.
The complete but unofficial aver
ages of 1948 show that 26 players
taking part in 100 or more games
hit 300 or better, the same number
that made the select circle the prev
iOus year.
However, the American League
picked up in 300 hitters. The Junior
circuit has Is players in the 300
bracket the past season as compared
with II the year before. Only 10
National Leaguers made the grade
this year, four less than in 1947.
Stan Musial of the st. Louis Card
inals had his best season with 1916.
His mark is the highest compiled in
the National League since 1885 when
Arky Vaughan hit 1886 for Pitts
buTgh
Other National Leaguers in the
select circle are Richie AshbuTn Of
the Phillies, Tommy Holmes and
Alvin Dark. of the Braves, EnOs
Slaughter of the Cardinals, Jeff
Heath of the Braves, Dixie Walker
of Pittsburgh, Andy Pafko of the
Cubs, Sid Gordon of the Giants and
Frank Baumholtz of Cincinnati
Holmes hit 300 for the fifth straight
! season.
Ashburn, with 1888, and Dark, hit
ting 1922, were the only senior loop
rockies to hit in the charmed circle
Ted Williams had one of his good
years. The Boston Red SOx left
fielder hit 1863 and now hat hit above
300 in all of his seven years in the
majors. His recent mark is his
best since 1941 when he batted .406
