Four-Alarm Fire
Here Yesterday

A fOur-alarm fire broke out
shortly after IL o'clock yester-
day afternoon in a building
owned by Garland GrOh at liz
North Potomac Street, and was
still raging as we went to press.
The ground floor of the build
ing was occupied by the Ober-
haus Gift Shop, and it is under
stood that the upper floors
were being remOdeIed for apart
mentS. Both buildings adj
joining the GrOh building-One
occupied by the Bierns Furni-
ture company, and the other by
the Garvin Wallpaper Com
pany, were threatened.
All fire companies responded
to the alarm, and, as we went
to press, were fighting desper-
atley to battle the flames and
save as much property as pos
sible.

Tomorrow's three-hour interdenom-
ination service at Christ's Evangeli-
cal and Reformed Church, West
Franklin Street, will bring to a
climax the Lenten worship services
of seven of this city's downtown
churches and st. Paul's Evangelical
Lutheran Church, of Funstown.
The pastors and congregations of
the eight churches will join in the
impressive Good Friday service, be-
ginning at noon, in observance of the
hours during which Christ hung
upon the Cross.
Although this Good Friday SER
vice in its entirely will cover the
three-hour period from noon until
8 p. M, it is pointed out that wor-
shippers who find it convenient to
remain for only part of the SER
vice will be welcomed. 1t is so ar
ranged that the public may enter
into the worship and leave almost
at will.
The theme of tomorrow's devo-
tions will be "The Words from the
Cross" with the pastor of Christ's
Church, the Rev. Frederick D. Eys-
ter, in charge.
Meditations by each of the seven
other pastors, or assistant pastors,
of participating churches; prayers
readings from the Scriptures, hymns,
sacred music by vocal soloists and
organists, responsive readings, and
moments of prayerful silence, will
make up the program for the in
spring service.
The Order of Worship follows the
sequence of the Words from the
Cross" and in general is as follows

On Wednesday, April z, at $3.50
p. M, the Right Reverend Monsig-
nor Fulton J. Sheen, of the Catholic
University of America, will deliver
a lecture at the Hagerstown High
School Auditorium on the vital sub
ject of Communism and the Con-
science of the West" and the gen
eral public are cordially invited to
hear the noted speaker.
Monsignor Sheen is recognized as
the outstanding Catholic pulpit
orator in the United States, and one
of the most brilliant champions of
religion anywhere. His latest book,

public life as the only means of COM
batting the evils rampant on the
domestic and international scene.
Individuals and nations, he has writ
ten, must. be convinced that 'the
kingdom of God and His justice is
the only important concern of life"
His latest book is an indictment of
Communism and those vices of
western civilization which engen-
dered it. He presents the issue as
a religious one, rather than mainly
political or economic.
Monsignor Sheen was born in Ell
Paso, Illinois, in 1895, where he at
tended parochial schools, and Spald-
ing Institute in Peoria, Ill. One of
his uncles was a law partner of
Clarence barrow, the celebrated
lawyer, but Monsignor Sheen's. par
ents were deeply religious. He re-
ceived his A. B. at st. Viator Col
lege in Kankakee, ILL.,, and his M. A.
in 1919, the year of his ordination to
the priesthood. He continued grad
uate studies at the Catholic Univer-
sity of America in Washington, D. c.,
where he won his S. T. B. and J. c.
B. in 1920. He continued his ed
ucation abroad and was awarded his
Phi. D. at the University of Louvain
in Belgium, in 1923, and two years
later he received the Cardinal Mer-
cier Prize of the University. His I'M
usual brilliance and scholarship al
so won him the coveted distinction
of Agrege en- Philosophie at Lou
vain, a degree very rarely conferred.
Meanwhile, at Rome, he won his d.
d. Many honorary degrees have
been conferred upon him by various
United States colleges, including an
Ii. d. at st. Bonaventure's College
and also Notre Dame University,
and a Doctorate of Humane Letters
from st. Johns College in Brooklyn

Boy Scout Troop Is
Does Fine Good Turn

Two 461V A1VO0 a &z1 "A
Sends Two CARE. Packages
Overseas - Receives Grateful
Letter From Austrian Scout
Whose Family Got One Of The
Packages.
Boy Scout Troop Is, which is
sponsored by Zion Reform d
Church, and of which w. F. Shill-
ing is Scoutmaster and F. M. Neu-
mann Assistant Scoutmaster, have
done good turn in a really fine way.
The Troop has, for some time,
been collecting wastepaper, the
funds from which are used for the
Troops campsite and for other i'm
.provements in Troop equipment.
Reading, however, of the terrible
situation in Europe, the boys voted
to use some of this money to send
.C. A. r. E. packages overseas, and
they decided to send them to families
who had boys of Scout age, but not
necessarily Scouts. Two packages
were sent to Austria last December,
and last week Mr.. Neuman received
a reply from a Boy Scout in Vienna,
whose family received one of the
packages.
The letter, which was written on
paper carrying the Boy Scout en-
blem, was written in about the best
handwriting we have ever seen for
"a seventeen-year-old boy. Here it
is:
Il was very glad to receive the
gift package you have so very kind
ly sent me through c. A. r. E. and
thank you very much for it! Here
in Austria we have not as much we
need to eat, for our country is only a
little one and is not able to produce
the foods. Therefore we are thank
full to our well meaning friends in
the other continents who sent US
such things. The greatest pleasure
l have had when l read that you are
a Scoutmaster. l am an Austrian
Boy Scout in rank of a S.PL. and
am II years old. l have two broth
ers and sister and l live by my
parents in Vienna, the capital of
Austria. At present 1 go to Com
merical High School where l have
learnt a little English therefore
don't look for the mistakesD and
this year l have my learning ex-
animation.
Nov 1 will tell you something
about the Scouting in my native
country. In Austria there are about
5000 Scouts. There are also Rover
Scouts and cubs. Our Scouting is
a very difficult one, there are to
overcome many difficulties for we
have not enough food that we are
able to make longer camps, also we
have only few tents and the other
material is not produced in our
country, therefore we cannot get
anything. In our group we are so
Scouts divided into two troops, and
20 cubs and 10 Rover Scouts, And
our group is one of the best of
Vienna.
my patrol which 1 lead consists
of 9 boys of the age from IA to Is
years and nearly all of them have
just the second class.
Nov l have given you view
about our Scouting in Austria and
l would be very glad to hear from
you something about you and your
Troop.
MANY greetings to you and your
troop and hearty Good Scouting
from your
thankful friend

FairchiId Gets New
Air-Force Contract
Plant To Build Detachable
Fuselage Transport, Based On
The Trailer-Truck Principle.

The United States Air Force has
announced a contract with the Fair
child Aircraft Division of the Fair
child Engine and Airplane Corpor-
alton, Hagerstown, for the develop
ment of a detachable fuselage air
craft to be known as the CLIO Pack
Plane.
Based on the trailer-truck principle,
the Pack-Plane will, closely resem-
BILE the Fairchild Packet Clio in
configuration. The plane itself is
intended to serve as the air tractor,
flying with or without its pack or
fuselage.
Like the Clio, the detachable
fuselage aircraft will be powered
with two Pratt and Whitney Wasp
Major engines with a take off rat
ing of $3.50 hp. Preliminary de-
signs call for a pack with a 9-ton pay
load capacity for a range of 1000
miles. AS a medical unit, a pack
will accommodate Sc litter patients
and 3 attendants.
The cargo capacity of the pack
can vary according to the specific
requirements for which it is de-
signed, but the majority of packs
will have capacity approximating
1900 cubic #. Since the packs can
take almost any form, they will pre-
sent infinite possibilities for the
transport of supplies and personnel
for the complex operations of front
line headquarters. Such facilities
as communications trailers, statisti-
cal control units, portable mess sec
tons, and flying surgical units can
be designed within a pack.
Military strategists, faced with a
major problem in providing the air
lift for completely air transportable
armies, have long advocated a de-
tachable fuselage to facilitate ground
handling of vast amounts of equip
ment as well as service units which
could be ready for action immed-
lately after landing. Study has also
been given to dropping the pack off
in fight or skidding it off on the
ground from a low altitude. In
line with this thinking, Fairchild
engineers have designed the Pack
Plane from the standard troop car
rier transport, the Clio Packet.
