The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1948-09-23

And so hope that all our speak
ers; all our advertising; and all our
publicity in this county in connec-
ton with the November elections
will have as its keynote What the
Republicans can do for these United
States, and not what the other par
| ty didn't do.
l was very glad to note the real
harmony that prevailed at the first
fall meeting of the Federated Re-
publican Women of Maryland held
recently in Baltimore. The past diff
ferences were quite evidently deep
ly buried, and the sole concern of
the meeting was the election of the
Republican candidates in November.
The meeting was presided over by
Mrs. Harvey Kline, the president
of the Federation, and among those
who spoke were. Miss Bertha Adj
kins, the Maryland National Com
mitteewoman; Galen TAFT, Jacob
France and Theodore McKeldin.
The meeting was called to further
the campaign of the Republican
ticket, and 1 believe the result of
their meeting will be very evident
as the campaign develops.
How times have changed
Some time back when the Junior
Chamber of Commerce announced
a registration campaign to get every
potential voter registered, Mr.. Het-
ger, chairman of the Democratic
Central Committee in Washington
County, came out with terrific
blast against the plan, claiming that
it was cooked up by the Republican
members of the Jaycees.
But last week, when the same
Junior Chamber of Commerce came
out with an announcement that they
were going to put on a campaign to
get out the vote, he same Mr.. He
ger turns around and greets their
announcement with tremendous en-
thusiasm, and in fact, practically
calls the members of the Jaycees,
lily white angels with wings.
Could it be that President Tru
mans statement in Detroit recent
ly that the bigger the vote the big
ger the chances of the Democratic
Party being reelected, had anything
to do with Mr.. Hetzer's sudden
change?
Talking about the Junior Chamb-
er of Commerce, one of the grand
est projects they have, is their Youth
Welfare Project, which is being
handled by a committee of which
Joseph Walker is chairman, and
Frank Howard (who is associated
with me in Boys Club work. is
supervising director.
have just learned that this COM
mittee is planning monthly out
ing for the San Mar orphans, and
this months outing will be a trip
for all the youngsters to the Fair to-
morrow afternoon.
My congratulations to every mem
Der of this committee for the fine
work they are doing to help all the
youngsters of our community be-
come better citizens of tomorrow.

At the regular meeting of the
Board of County Commissioners, held
On Tuesday, no action was taken
on the question of purchasing vot-
ing machines, due to the fact that:
y the board had not had time to
examine any machines, except the
one now on display in the court
house; p the availability of ade-
quate storage space for the machines
/ had not been determined; and -
the fact that judges and clerks, hav-
ing been already sworn in, would
| probably have to be paid, whether
/ the voting machines were used, or
II
Il not.
The matter will be discussed again
at next weeks meeting of the Board
but the probabilities are that the
machines will not be purchased in
time for use in the November cleo
II tons.
If Bill Paulsgrove took wire
recording machine along when he
and Mrs. Paulsgrove left for Their
vacation in Miami last week, he
should have swell recording of the
hurricane that struck the Florida
resort on Tuesday, for they were
right in the middle of it.
