Concerning my comment IN TINS
column last week regarding the i'm
ability of Pep" Rambert manager
of the Hagerstown Owls and his
wife and two children to find fur
nished apartment for the season, l
am very glad to be able to report
that through the fine cooperation of
MIR. and Mrs. W. A. beavers, 1873
South Prospect Street, the Ramberts
are now in little apartment in the
beavers home.
Mr.. and Mrs. beavers went to
quite a bit of trouble to rearrange
their home to provide this apart
ment, and they are certainly to be
congratulated on their fine spirit of
cooperation. Their action proves
once more that after all, Hagerstown
is a pretty good place in which to
live and make living.
The Mayor and Council and Board
Of Street Commissioners held Open
House at the Municipal Light Plant
on Sunday afternoon, and despite
the heavy rain that fell, fair
crowd inspected the Plant.
Last week | promised to make
some predictions regarding the sue
cessor to Galen TAFT as State Chair
man of the Republican State Cen
trail Committee, so here we go.
At the present time everybody
who has been approached regarding
the chairmanship has declined it,
and it looks now as if it might wind
up with Mr.. Jacob France getting
the job
Mr.. TAFT, of course, will not re-
sign until after the State Convention
is held in Baltimore on May 20, and
if | get any more information re
garding candidates for the office be-
fore that time, / will let you know.
There is, of course, some talk of
Congressman j. Glenn Beall taking
the craftsmanship, but in my book
he would be committing political
suicide to accept it.
The present Board of Directors of
the Hagerstown Chamber of Com
merce, who held their organization
meeting on Monday, will probably
go down in history as one of the
youngest groups of men ever to con-
duct the affairs of our local Chamb-
er of Commerce. It's a fine sign to
see the younger business men Of the
community taking time out to give
their services in this way, and it
augurs we'll, not only for the future
of the Chamber of Commerce, but
for Hagerstown as a whole.
Last weeks combined meeting of
the Charter Commission and the
representative of the press and
radio, was another fine example of
what can be accomplished when a
group of citizens, interested in the
welfare of their community, sit down
together around the conference table
and calmly, and in perfect harmony
discuss any question at issue.
The members of the Charter Com
mission, all business and professional
men of the community who volun-
teered their services in the interest
of better government, spent many,
many weeks discussing the important
question of what changes should be
made in the present charter before it

Scout-O-Rama Is
Real Success Here
Three Thousand Parents And
Children Visit Two-Day Ex-
hibit At Fairgrounds.

II any Of the more than 5000 par
ents and children who visited the
two-day Scout-O DRAMA, held in the
Exhibition Hall of the Fairgrounds
last week, had any doubts as TO the
value of the Boy Scout movement in
general, and its effectiveness in this
area in particular, those doubts have
now been dissolved forever.
The Scout O. Rama, the first held
in Hagerstown in over ten years, was
an outstanding success, both from
the point of view Of the number of
Troops, Scouts and Scouters who
participated in it, and also from the
standpoint of the exhibits displayed.
Scouting in every form, as displayed
in the various booths, and the in
genuity Of the youngsters, was ex-
emplified time and time again.
The visitors, as they thronged the
exhibition, were loud in their prais-
es, particularly of the outdoor ex-
hibits, and there is no doubt that
Scout recruiting will show an up
ward surge as the result Of the
event
Everybody connected with the
Scout-O O. Rama deserves the highest
praise, and it is this reporters hope
that from now on the event will be-
come an annual one.

New Building 10 Rise
Al St. EIizabeths

Construction of a 5-story build
ing designed to house 500 patients
will begin soon at st. Elizabeths
Hospital, officials of the Public
Building Administration reported
today.
PBA Commissioner w. E. Rey-
nolds awarded a contract yesterday
to Cramer g. Vollmerhausen Co.,
Inc, a local firm whose bid of ST.
1853, 1000 was the lowest submitted.
The builders have $50 days in
which to complete the structure,
which has been sought for the over
crowded institution for several
years.
It will accommodate aged pa
tients, both men and women, re-
quiring a minimum of detention,
PBA said. 1t will have facilities for
preparation and service of meals, for
recreation and occupational ther-
apy.
The building will have a brick
facing, limestone trim and will be
of fireproof construction.
Earlier this month, PBA awarded
contracts totaling $2,343,916 for a
warehouse, laundry and shop build
ing for the hospital.
The new shop building has been
badly needed for many years. DR..

intendent, for some time has feared

laundry.

had been cleared and a log
cabin erected for use as kitchen
and mess hall. A partially
built stairway was put down
the face of the cliff to the
beach. Tent areas were cleared
and tents put up. All the equip
ment was hauled up to camp
and the camping periods be-
gan. The Guardettes arrived

The Junior Guards arrived on
August 9th, and the Guardettes

come forth unto Me, that is
to be Ruler in Israel" The
reason God singled out Beth
lehem as the place of the Saw
ior's birth was because the
Promised Messiah was to be
the Son, or SEED, of David.
Bethlehem was the place of
David's birth, the place where
David's youth was spent in
caring for his fathers sheep.
Also in Bethlehem, the ro-
nance of Ruth and Boaz, the
ancestors of David, took place.
The fulfillment of Micah's
prophecy required a special
Providence of God. 1t is for
this reason that Luke relates
the details regarding the de-
cree of Caesar Augustus. The
Roman Emperor demanded sta
tistical register of the whole
empire, for the purpose of in
creasing his revenue and mill
tary force. In the overruling
Providence of God, it was re-
quired that Mary and Joseph
should travel from Nazareth
to Bethlehem.

1t was to the humble shep-

their flock by night" that the
angels brought good tiding
of great joy" announcing that
a Savior, "Christ the Lord"
was born Gin the City of Da-
vid." For many centuries man
had longed for a Deliverer,
Who would break the shackles
of sin. At length 'the fulness
of time" came, when ''the de-
sire of all nations" should be
born. No time in the worlds
history was so opportune for
Jesus to be born as that par
ticular time, rightly called
"the fulness of time" All the
world was in a state of expec-
fancy of some great event
about to transpire. Little did
Caesar Augustus realize that
a Divine destiny prompted
him to issue the decree that
"all the world should be tax
ed" Over one hundred mil
lion people were affected by
this decree; but it was Gods
purpose by this decree, as
taught in this Lesson, that
Mary and Joseph should wend
their way from Nazareth to
Bethlehem in order that the
prophecy Of Micah regarding
the birth of the Savior-King
might be literally fulfilled.

The Gospel of Luke is the
only one of the four "Gospels'
which gives the details regard
ing the birth of Jesus. AL
though the fact of Jesus birth
is recorded in the second chap
ter of Matthew, no explana-
ton is given as to how it came
that He was born in Bethle-
hem. Among the many i'm
portant Messianic promises
given in the Old Testament is
that of Micah, who declared:
"But thou, Bethlehem Ephra-
tab, though thou be little
among the thousands of Ju-
dab, yet out of thee shall He
