AelOOKHAG
AND
AeAaST EAA&G
BY Ellen HagedOrn

A "busy, busting, beehive
of activity" is what we might
call our fair city.
Our modern shops carry the
latest fashions in clothing; the
newest cars; up-to-the-minute
radios, cameras, play equip
ment, etc.
Our theatres show the latest
movies for our enjoyment; the
civic organizations carry on a
yearly program of worthwhile
activities; our churches have a
larger attendance than ever
before; the museum exhibits
works of art; the parks attract
visitors by their beauty.
Business and factories find
ready markets for their pro-
ducts; our schools are strain
ing at the seams; our residen-
tial areas are pleasing to the
eye and pleasant in which to
live.
And yet-four blocks from
our central square are homes
without tubs, and worse still,
homes without indoor toilet
facilitiesl
This knowledge completely
fioored me, although it must
surely be known to the city
fathers.
Why leave conditions like
that in a modern city for out
siders to point their fingers at?

Beall is just about as sure of his

But having been in politics for a
long, long time, I'm still one of those
who refuses to take anything for
granted, and so right on up to the
day of the election, I'm going to con-
tinue to talk up Dewey for President;
Warren for President, and
Congressman Beall for reelection
from this district, and hope every
Republican will do the same.

First Civic Music
Concert October u
Trieste Trio, An information

School Auditorium.

A unique chamber music ensem-
BILE, the Trieste Trio, will perform
here for the first time on October
% during their first American con-
cert tour, under the sponsorship of
The Hagerstown Civic Music AS
sociation.
Although each member of the
Trio is but twenty-seven years old,
they have been performing together
for the last fifteen years. In 1888
pianist Dario De Rosa, violist Renato
Zanettovich and cellist Libero Lanof
pooled their talents to make music
because they enjoyed it, Friends
who heard them later commented
on their remarkable precision and
professional polish. Several years
later they made their debut and have
since been acclaimed as the finest
chamber music ensemble on the
Continent.
In decade-and-a-half they
achieved an instrumental fusion
which resulted in a thrilling musical
experience for European audiences.
Their balance, technique and must
cianship have won them the label
of three poets of sound" according
to the Rome Tribune. Their vast
repertory is so a part of themselves
that their programs are performed
entirely from memory.

Joe SchindeI hooked a "fish."

Joe Schindel hooked "fish."
On Saturday afternoon, in Schin-
del-Rohrer's Store, was leaning
over one of the glass show cases
swapping yarns with Joe Schindel
and his son, Ed AS / Strengthened
up, the sleeve in my coat caught on
the cardboard of fishing flies on dis
play. When / attempted to dis
lodge the hook, another one hooked
on to one leg of my pants. Then
when l used the other hand to try
and release that one, the second
coat sleeve got caught, and in an
endeavor to unlock that one, the
second pants leg got caught also.
At this stage of the proceedings,
both Joe and his son came around
to try" and help me get away from
the darn fish hooks, but l have a
sneaking suspicion that instead of
helping me they were quietly hook
ing me in various other places, I'M
til in a few minutes | was so tangled
up in fish hooks that l couldn't move.
And the pay-off came when l found
that the board itself, with a couple
of the flies still attached to it, was
firmly hooked in the back of my
coat.
By this time every clerk in the
store was gathered around in
shrieks of laughter, and the noise
became so deafening that finally
people came pouring in from the
street to see what was going on.
1t probably doesn't sound half as
funny as it actually was, just read
ing it, but I can assure you that
there never was man more en-
tangled in a mess of fish hooks than
l was, and there never was anyone
who enjoyed my plight more than
Joe and Ed Schindel.

ISOLATION?
The Freedom Train will be here
tomorrow and after we have all
examined the historic documents
that will be on display, it is to be
sincerely hoped that we won't let
the day pass out of our minds as
just an incident, but will take what
we see to heart and congratulate
ourselves that we are citizens of
these United States.
But congratulating ourselves on
our good fortune is not enough We
should also make up our minds to
do our best every day, to live up to
the high traditions under which our
Constitution was born, and to for
get the bigotries and petty jealous
les that too often dwarf the bigger
things in life.
To be able to say 81 am an Amer
lean" is "a priceless privilege that
millions of people in destitute
Europe would give everything they
possess, or hope to possess, to have.
The whole idea of the Freedom
Train is an opportunity for us to re
dedicate our lives so that we may,
as free men, walk the earth with
dignity; be proud of our heritage;
and have a better understanding of
our fellow man.
There is still absolutely no excite
ment whatever about the president
ial election, or for that matter about
the congressional election in the
sixth district either.
The Republican Party has finally
put up a streamer across the street
in front of their headquarters, but
when you start to talk to people on
the street, about the election, the
reaction is practically the same
everywhere. If you're talking to
Democrats, they dismiss the sub
ject by saying it's too early yet to
Judge how the vote will go, and if
you're talking to Republicans, they
say: whats the use of getting ex-
cited-Dewey will win by a land
slide"
l have been quite concerned about
the seeming indifference of Con-
gresham Beall, in view of the fact
that the labor unions have been put
ting in some hard work for the
Democratic candidate, but l can't

1T MEANS;
The Latin American
Demand For
u. S. Machines
By SIGRID ARNE

WASHINGTON - Below the Rio
Grande, from Mexico to Argentina,
there are men, both in and out OF
the government, who resent the
large chunks of American aid going
to Europe. Latin resentment on the
subject, is one of the large hurdles
the State Department has ahead Ol
it in keeping friendly nations tied
to the American plan for keeping
the peace and rebuilding the peace
full section of the world.
Latin resentment is not caused
so much because American aid
much of it charity is going to an
other portion of the world. 1t is
rather because the Latins want
American machinery to build up
their own manufacturing indus
tries. And they fear that the Mar
shall plan for Europe will send
most of the United States extra
machinery across the Atlantic and
that little machinery will be left to
ship south to the Latin countries.
And there is another difference.
lie lAdl4u0 are 1lOJ 81 llQCll lulGI-
ested in aid-free help-as they
are in just the right to buy the ma
chinery which is now very short
in the world. Many of the Latin ma
tiOns are able to pay cash if they
can just get the ALLEGATIONS.
In conference after conference
they have made this plea for ma
chinery. At the United Nations, at
the Havana conference on world
trade, and at the recent Inter-
American conference at Bogota,
the Latins have argued that they
must have the machines to set up
some manufacturing industries
Historically, the Latin nations
have supplied the industrial ma
tiOns to the north with the raw ma
terials for their factories and gro
Gerry stores-minerals, grains, lea
ther and meats. In return, they
have bought autos, locomotives
radios, clothes, electrical equip.
ment, and so on.
Now they are determined to turr
out some of their own manufac-
tured goods. But they need Oul

transportation, power equipment,
and some machines to turn out the
most essential consumers goods.
From our side, various U. S. Off
cials have argued: (1) The U. S.
can't help Europe and Latin Amer
ica at the same time to the same
degree. (2) Peace and revived trade
in Western Europe (Which will be
helped by the Marshall Plan) is
just as important to Latin America
as it is to the United States. 90
Many of the dol7ars which Europe
gets through the Marshall plan will
be spent in Latin America. And La
tin America will be free, in turn, to
spend those dollars in the United
States markets. (4) Latin Ameri-
can governments must be careful
to industralize gradually enough so
THAT when they get machines, their
people will be able to run them eff
I GENTLY, as fast as they arrive. (5)
Some Latin countries are already
buying more than they can afford,
and hence should pull in their belts
for a while before they go deeper
( in debt for more foreign purchases.
( (6) At the same time the Latins
are demanding machines for their
own manufacturing industries,
they are talking about new tariffs
to keep out foreign goods, including
American goods. So, in effect, the
United States is being asked to help
start a Latin American manufac-
turing industry. At the same time
U. S. factories are being denied the
right to sell in Latin American
markets.
Talk on this subject with the La
tin American countries has been
intense for some time. Both sides
show good will in trying to get &
friendly solution. Both the NORTH
and South American continents
recognize that they need eacf
