Burhans Demands
Sheriff Resign

At the morning session of the reg
ular weekly meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners on Tuesday,
one of the two Democratic County
Commissioners, F. Winslow Burhans,
demanded the resignation of Sheriff
Joseph d. Baker on the grounds
that: ex-jail prisoners had worked
for the Sheriff's son, Donald Baker;
for the Sheriff's deputies; and on a
farm west of Hagerstown, while serv-
ing Jail sentences Commissioner
Burhans' charges were based on six
affidavits of ex-jail prisoners.
Commissioner Burhans was unable
to receive a seconder to his motion,
and so, as far as the County Com
missioners are concerned, the mat
ter rested right there. 1t now be-
comes the privilege of Commissioner
Burhans to bring his charges before
the Grand Jury, if he so desires.
In commenting on the charges,
Charles F. Wagaman, attorney to the
board, stated that the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners did not have the
power to make the sheriff resign, as
he is an elected official and not an
appointed officer.
Sheriff Baker was not present
when the charges were made against
him by Commissioner Burhans

Fairchild Employees
OK One Way Streets

In a recent survey made at the
Fairchild plant, the employees were
practically unanimous in approving
the new one-way streets in Hagers-
town, although many of those in
terviewed agreed that some minor
adjustments should be made before
the new traffic laws become per-
manent at the end of the 60-day
trial period (Some of the changes
they suggested have already been
made.)
One of those interviewed sug-
gested that the lights in the square
need to be changed to synchronize
with the other lights on Washing
ton and Potomac Streets (the ques-
ton of changing the traffic lights on
the square is now under consider
atom and he also suggested that
the traffic lights on the one way
streets should only change at in
tervals of four blocks, instead of al
ternating from red to green at every
block as they do now.

A.AOOKEAG
AND
AelHSTEAEAG
By Ellen Hagedorn

Several mothers have asked
what reply. if any, I received
on my article dealing with the
control of obstreperous chill
dren on school buses.
Today's reply, after consult
alton with P. E. Supervisor,
is mainly for the benefit of
riders of Fountain Head and
Airport buses on which chill
dren pay fares.
Bus drivers are authorized to
put any child or adult off the
bus when their behaviour en-
dangers the safety of other rid
ers. In the case of a school
child, officials are loathe to do
this, since they feel a sense of
personal responsibility for each
child in their care.
Many mothers agree that let
ting a child walk a reasonable
distance home in good weather
would do the child no harm
but-what would they say to
the same treatment in rainy
weather, or when the snow is
on the ground?
I was wondering if a Patrol
system, with name taking, for
presentation to the school prin-
cipal, might work.
However, the best plan would
be to take this problem to your
own PIT. A. It can be solved
by you.

ADJ 3S|ND TOWN
WIFI THE EDITOR

After the game was over, Noel
Spence, the catcher on the Rotary
team, came over to me and asked to
see my score book. When he noticed
that in the fifth inning, when the
Kiwanis Club scored all their runs,
I had given one error to him and
one error to one of the infielders, he
turned around and said, MIR. Doug
las, that's wrong-both those errors
belong to me. The error that you
have charged to our infielder was
not the result of a bad throw, it
was my muff of his throw that caused
another run to cross the plate"
That's what l call real sportsman

And talking about craftsmanship,
was rather surprised to hear some
riding of the Rotary Clubs pitcher,
and the riding was not by the
youngsters themselves, but by one
of the adults. And it was noticeable
that the youngster was taking it pref
ty hard.

The STORY Of a Strange COincidenCe

The Story OF Durango OOlhciuOhOO
BY a strange coincidence, repre-
sentatives of both the daily papers
were present at the morning session
of the Board of County Commission
ers on Tuesday, when Commission
or Burhans demanded the resigna-
ton of Sheriff Baker, although the
sheriff himself was not present. This
makes the first time that l can re-
member when representatives OF
both daily papers have been pres
ent at a morning session Of the Com
missioners, excepting in the few
cases where it was known well in
advance that some special action
might be expected, such as during
the hectic days of the school bond
issue question.
AS a result of this strange coincl-
dence, the story was spread across
the front page of the Daily Mail on
Tuesday-which by another strange
coincidence happens to be the DEM
ocratic paper-even before the at-
ternoon session of the Commission
ers got under way, and the reading
of the two-column headlines in the
Daily Mail was the first intimation
the sheriff had, that charges had
been preferred against him.
l think I'll apply to the three
charter members of the II Deserve
The Credit Club"-Councilman Ell
lott and Commissioners Knight and
Nills-for membership in their club.
But if l do, want it distinctly I'M
derstood that l have no political
aspirations whatsoever My claim
would be based on the following
item, that appeared in this column
I'm the issue of August Ia, 1947:
Do YOU know that the members
of our police force work seven days
a week, with the exception OF two
Wednesdays off a month? Well that's
exactly what they do and 1T is high
time something was done about 1t.
The "men in blue" are not the
highest paid in the world, in fact
their salaries are low compared to
present day standards, and to deny
them one day off a week is Just
plainly unfair in my book. Members
of the police force in other cities In
MARYLAND are on a six-day week and
it's high time Hagerstown police OF
ficers were put on the same sched-
ule. Here's hoping the Board OF
Street Commissioners does some
thing about it.
Surely gentlemen, that story,

before the police got their day off a
week. entities me to membership IN

Germans Fear Reports
|0f New Prosperity
will Cut Foreign Gifts

HEIDELBERG, July Is (NANA) -
While reports are widespread of
German shop windows filled with
fruit, vegetables, leather goods and
hundreds of hitherto rarely seen
goods, q consumer survey in the
bizonal area shows that there has
been no let-up demand for CARE
packages and other gifts from
America.
The consumers fear reports of
German prosperity following the in
PRODUCTION of the new Deutschemark
will cause decline in gifts from
abroad and give number of rea-
sons why such packages still are
urgently needed.
Elderly people have lost most of
their savings in the deyaluatlon
but must pay the same rents as be-
fore. Those who could, formerly
paid rent from capital and lived
off their pension, supplemented by
help from relatives at home OF
abroad. When they could not pay
the rent from capital, they sold part
of the gifts at the inflated price for
foodstuffs and paid their debts to
the landlord. Now the price for
commodities has fallen on the black
market, and the elderly people need
to sell four or five times as much
as before to keep going.
Coffee Price Falls.
A CARE package from America
contained a pound of coffee and a
supply of other necessary commodi-
ties. The recipient could sell the
coffee for 300 marks, which was
enough to cover a months rent.
Now the same can of coffee would
bring only from to Is marks.
In Heidelberg, lowest black mar
ket prices rule. In the north they
get higher. Schleswig- -Holstein has
the highest black market prices.
Currency reform has not killed the
black market, it has only reduced
prices. The black market will end
emily when official planning and con-
trolls disappear. Gifts from abroad
are one of the few means of en-
abling people to live without pat
ronizing it.
Though the shops are now fllled
with fruit and vegetables at prices
people can afford. the supply is
seasonal. This is very bad, wet
summer. Harvest prospects are
Evening star., 1948-07-15

gloomy. Autumn produce, except for
krauts, may be scarcer and dearer
But the fear that ovehrshadows
all is OF unemployment. Free mar
ket wages have dropped drasti-
cally. Trade union rates are under
current revision and when pub
lished are expected to show a sharp
decline. The new unemployed
especially those supporting aged
parents-will swell the army of beg
ging-letter writer's.
Economists estimate it will take
six months or more for the new
currency situation to provide liv-
ing possibilities for the masses.
There must be widespread redis-
tribution of labor and state legisla-
tion to ease and equalize burdens.
Meanwhile the door remains wide
oen for the charitable and the for
giving.

I would like to know, also. why

peramental Just after my soybean
hay Is cut and lies parching under
the hottest sun of the season, and
where the local boys go who have
been loafing about the country store
all year until haymaking time comes.
I have seen my village as de-
serted at haymaking time as a mid

able to tell me where the boys 20,
or by what sixth sense they Judge

Any one Of them, I am sure, knows
without being told on what farm
and at what time the hard, hot jobs
are being done. Any one of them,
I am also sure, can disappear as
quickly and as completely as II he
were waited away by some super
magician.
There are other things, too. I
can't tell you why 1t s that when
I am involved In some important

their eggs in weedy corners Of re.
mote fields. Or why the Toulouse
geese, which don't like the grain We
have for them, insist on seeing that
the White Chinese and the Embdens
get no grain either.
I couldn't begin to tell you why 0
