Girls Club Issues
Plea For Club Room
Board OF Directors Ready To
Swing Into Action But Have
No Place To Go.

AT the meeting of the Board 81 Di-
rectors of the HagerstoWn Girls
Club held on Octoer rs, it was de-
cided to issue another appeal to the
public for a Club Room.
This club was formed with the idea
of helping the girls of our commun-
ity-help them find a place for
wholesome recreation-help them
become better and more useful cit
liens.
1t is sponsored by various local
Women's Clubs and enthusiastically
applauded by the Mems Organiza-
tons Already the Board has re-
ceived contributions ranging from
$500 to $780,, and many, many MEM
bers of the community have offered
their services in helping the girls
with sewing, dramatics, grooming
and so on A piano, ping-pong
table, movies and swimming priv
ileges have thus far been obtained
for entertainment All these worth
while accomplishments mean moth
ing unless place can be found in
which they can be utilized.
This plea is not only directed to
the individuals and businesses in
town, but is a challenge to our City
Officials. It is to their benefit also
to make the City a finer place in
which to live, and this can only be
had through better and healthier
citizens.

tee Chairman, will be glad to talk

gaining with the lumber company More
over, the company in it's past operations in
Montana and other states has disclosed no
great interest in conservation; immediate and
large profits seems to have been their prin-
ciple motive. And that they are good bar
gamers, there can be no doubt. In that re-
spect they will outrank the Forest Service
officials without any doubt.
There is still another matter to be taken
into account in this connection. The Forest
Service is dependent on appropriations from
congress to conduct it's work A cut in last
years appropriations reduced it's ability to
properly conduct grazing service and inspec-
lions. There can be little doubt, unless the
character of congress undergoes a change,
that once the Neils Lumber Company secures
its monopoly in the Kootenai Forest, it's next
step will be to get appropriations for super
vision in the Kootenai by the Forest Service
curtailed by reduced appropriations Or
failing in that, to get supervising officials
who are friendly to the company.
Judging by past and present indications
that should not be difficult for the company
to achieve.-H. S. Bruce.

The un-informed may hail this proposed
piece of legislation as meritOrious because it

every 1910 non-communist Americans) by
requiring them to register with the Depart
ment of Justice. Failure to so do could re-
suit in prison sentences up to 10 years, and
fines up to $4,000.
However inspection of the bill reveals that
its purpose is not merely to bring the Com
munist party out into the open. CAS- mat
ter of fact CP officials have already indicated
that, passage of the bill will result in just the
opposite.)
The real purpose of this legislation is to
throttle every sign of liberalism, every bit
of militant unionism, every conceivable
type of opposition to the status quo.
MORE CHAINS FOR WORKERS
This bill is natural "follow-up' to the
Taft-Hartley labor control act and the Presi-
dents ''loyalty" directive. Any "short-com-
ings in either of the latter are taken care of
in the loose wording of HR 1852.
In the case of labor, any disruption of
trade and commerce., can, by ruling of the
attorney general, be labelled as communist
activity and the "disrupters" subject to the
fine and Imprisonment provisions of the bill.
In plain everyday terms this means the out
having of the right to strike!
AS follow-up to the loyalty directive,
this measure by Congressman Mundt and
Nixon, is also a natural. SO loose are its
terms, SO much power is vested in the hands
of the attorney general that any progressive
movement, any opposition to our foreign pol
icy, any criticism of such power politics as
our betrayal of the Palestinian Jews, could be
branded as fallen deology''. Such branding
would subject all dissdents to the possibility
of fine and prison sentences. In otherwords,
enactment of this bill would abrogate the

Doctor Reports New Drug
Which Arrests LeUkemiu

ACKNOWLEDGMENT of a new
drug credited with ~arresting acute
leukemia in children was reported
by DR.. Sidney Farber, pathologist-
in-chief of the Boston ,hildren's hos
pital.
DR.. Farber said the drug, ami
nopterin, had been tested at the hos
pital for several months. In that
time, it had caused repeated re-
missions" of the white blood count
in II children stricken with leu
kemia, he said.
He warned against false hope"
asserting further study and research
was required.
The tests, however, marked the
first time doctors had been able to
reduce the white blood count more
than once, DR.. Farber declared.
Fifteen young leukemia victims
were subjected to the tests. Eight
of them showed great improvement
and three some improvement. Three
of the remaining four died. The
fourth showed no improvement. DR..
Farber said, however, that these
four were too seriously i'll to be
treated fully.
He said present results repre-
sented a definite "step in the right
direction" The disease is usually
fatal.
