Two parties were held during the
past week, over which the people of
Hagerstown should be really proud
the party on December % for the
Hagerstown Boys Club, and the
one on December 81 for the newly
formed Hagerstown Girls Club.
The Boys Club party was held
in the club rooms, with the cooper
alton of the Kiwanis Club, the Jun

The fine spirit and behaviour of
the youngsters at both parties is a
definite proof that organized fun
and recreation for under-privileged
children is paying off. and in con-
nection with the Girls Club, it is
to be hoped that some forward look
ing citizen of the community will

The State Legislature

The State Legislature
My thanks to State Senator D.
Kenneth Mclaughlin for advising
me ahead of time regarding legisla-
ton he intends to introduce during
the 1949 session of the State Legis-
lature.
He tells me that he expects to in
troduce the following Bills:
l. A Bill relating to a change in
the present City Charter (Pll have
more to say about this after l have
seen the second revision of the pro-
posed new Charter which was or
dered written following joint meet
ing of the Charter committee and
members of the press and radio)
2. A Bill to give complete juris-
diction in non-support cases to the
Juvenile Court. Under our present
set-up, the Circuit Court acts on
these cases by way of indictment,
and the Bill to be introduced will
give authority in non-support cases
to the Juvenile Court, it being be-
lieved that this will bring about
more precipitous handling of cases
involving desertion and non-sup-
, port Of wives and minor children.
Senator Mclaughlin also stated
that there is possibility that Bill
may be introduced giving more home
rule to the County Commissioners.
A form of Bill is at present being
studied by the Senator and the at
torney for the County Commission
ers, but no definite conclusion has
been reached as to its provisions.
My thanks also to Howard Anken-
ey, chairman of the Washington
County Delegation, for advising me
of the Bills that he intends to intro
duce.
Mr.. Ankeney tells me that the only
Bill at the present time that has
been handed to him and which he
will introduce, is the Chiropractic
Bill. This is the same Bill that was
passed at the 1947 session and later
vetoed by the Governor, with the
exception that the provisions of the
Bill which Mr.. Ankeney understands
caused the Governor to veto the
original Bill, have been deleted.
asked Mr. Ankeney regarding
the proposed Sunday Movie Bill, and
he tells me that he has never seen the
Bill; that he does not know who is
preparing it; that he certainly will
not introduce it himself; and that if
such bill is introduced it will have
to be by the entire Delegation
Editors Note: It is my understand
ing that the Bill is being prepared
at the present time, but will not
be handed to Mr.. .Ankeney until the
Delegation is ready to leave for An
! napolis. If my understanding is
correct, then the Delegation should
refuse to have anything to do with
| it until such time as its provisions
have been publicized in Hagerstown
so that the electorate will know
something about it.
have been assured by Mr..
Ankeney that he will send me copy
of the Bill as soon as he receives it,
and when this happens will publish
it in its entirety.
l was both shocked and grieved
to hear, just as was getting ready
to go to press, that Mrs. Chester F.
Delphey, who was critically injured
in motor accident in Virginia on
Sunday, died at three o'clock on
Tuesday morning in the hospital at
Winchester, Va.
Mr.. Delphey, who was also in
jured in the accident, is still con-
fined to the Winchester Hospital.
