The. Freedom Train Committee re-
Gently appointed by Mayor Richard
H. Sweeney, under the general chair
manship of David w. Byron, last
week began mapping out preliminary
plans for the arrival of the Train
and the week of Re-Dedication''
that will precede it.
Eric Friedheim, area director of
the American Heritage Foundation,
which is sponsoring the Trains ma
tion-wide tour, revealed that the
trainload of the nations most price
less papers will be on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad siding from 10 a. m.
to 10 p. m. on Friday, October for
the inspection of the public.
Cost of the Freedom Trains APP
pearance here will be $1,000. A fin
ance committee will attempt to raise
this sum, but local residents were
given the assurance that the train
will definitely be in Hagerstown on
the scheduled date, irrespective of
financial matters.
Mayor Sweeney opened last weeks
meeting, attended in City Hall by
the committee members who repre-
sent local organizations. He said
that the week dedicated to the Free
dom Train will give local persons a
chance to show the maximum
amount of appreciation of the lib
erty and opportunity that America

Chamber To Hold

Annual Affair For Entire Mem
bership Of Chamber Of Com

tember ~, At 6:15 p. M.

A dinner meeting of the general
membership of the Hagerstown
Chamber of Commerce will be held
at 6:15 p. m. on Monday, September
q, in the ball room of the Hotel
Alexander, according to an an
nouncement made at the regular
luncheon meeting Of the Board OF
Directors of the Chamber, held on
Monday.
The purpose of the meeting is to
have real get-together of the gen
eral membership (such as was SO
successfully held last year, and to
acquaint them with some of the
major activities of the Chamber,
both executed and planned. Also
during the meeting, the amended by
laws of the Chamber will be voted
on.
The tickets for the dinner meet
ing will shortly be put on sale and
will only cost the members $1.5O

swer period.

or not there should be Sunday NOV
les and the rest of the coun-
ty not have the same privileges?
There are picture shows in towns
all over the county, and if the peo-
pie of the City of Hagerstown can't
live without Sunday movies, it
seems logical to say that the people
in the other towns can't live with
out them either.
So it is my belief that Senator
Mclaughlin and our delegates to
the State Legislature should get be-
hind a movement that brings up to
date this Anticipated Blue Law that
has been on he books since away
back in 1776 or thereabouts, and in
doing so, provide equal treatment
for the people all over the county.
A piece of legislature becomes a
joke when it is riddled with excep-
tons that apply to some and not to
others, that those trying to inforce
the law are so lost in the ridiculous
maze of exceptions that they just
forget all about it and the law is
not enforced at all. Our laws in
the State on slot machines are a per-
feet example of this
My congratulations to Doctor
Mileham, Principal of our High
School, on being selected to help
further perfect the public school
system in southern Korea.
Doctor Mileham has been loaned
to the War Department by the
Washington County Board of Edu-
cation for a period of some ten
weeks so that he can, along with a
half a dozen other experts on Amer
lean education, do his part in per-
fecting the schools in Korea.
At the Chamber of Commerce
meeting on Monday l got great
kick out of trying to sell Truman
ties to Republicans and Dewey ties
to Democrats.
I thoroughly enjoy politics, and
l like to get right into the thick of
it, and I'm glad to find so many
men like myself that while they
enjoy it and work hard for the par
ty, they don't allow it to warp their
minds and sour their souls.
And talking about politics, today
is the big day for the Republican
Party in the county, for they are
holding their picnic rally this after
noon and tonight at Andy Coffman's
summer cottage at Conococheague,
and from all accounts they will have
a banner crowd for the occasion.

ABOUND TOWN
WITH THE EDITOR

Because the Hagerstown Minis
terial Association did not send me
a copy of the resolutions adopted at
their meeting last week and pub
lished in the daily papers, the only
information l had concerning them
was what l read.
Reading the story of the meeting
and the resolutions in the daily pa
pers, /, like many others, felt that
the action of the Ministerial Associa-
ton might be open to some criti-
cism, but because l believe in hear
ing both sides before forming an
opinion on anything, I discussed this
matter with the Rev. Norman l..
Trott, the minister of my own
church. This discussion was not so
much a discussion between min
ister and a member of his flock, as
it was between two men who have
become close friends, and after the
discussion was over, felt that
there could be no criticism of the
Association for its resolutions, but
rather for the way they were all
rushed to the daily newspapers to-
gether, without any regard as to
how they might be presented.
Take, for instance, the resolution
sent to the Alsatia Club. When you
read this resolution thoroughly, you
find that the Ministerial Association
commended the Alsatia Club for the
fine work they have done, but simp-
ly asked them to omit floats adver-
Using alcoholic beverages.
Personally, 1 don't agree with the
Ministerial Associations request,
but | must admit that they have
perfect right as an Association of
Ministers of the Gospel to ask for
the stopping of anything that they
consider as harmful to the Lords
work. AS Mr.. Trott put it to me,
1--WE never expect that all the things
we ask for will be granted, and we
also recognize that times have
changed considerably, but that does
not prevent us from continuing to
fight for the upholding of the Sab
bath Day as a day of prayer, rest
and recreation-but only recreation
that does not call for the employ
ment of others"
AS I said in this column last week,
it is wrong to have any laws that
make fish of one and flesh of the
other. Senator Mclaughlin told me
some time ago that he was consid-
ering presenting a bill in the first
weeks of the 1949 session of the
State Legislature that would permit
moving picture shows on Sunday at
any time after one p. M, subject 20

City of Hagerstown. His purpose,
of course, is to introduce the bill
