WHTE THE Editor

ment that large number Of pupils
leave school before entering high
school, and l cannot help but Won
der If the lack Of an all around ath
letic program in our junior high
schools hasn't got lot to do with it.
Nearly every city the size of Ha-
gerstown has full athletic pro-
gram for its junior high schools,
and this, of course. includes foot
ball. Because Of this two year pro-
gram in the junior high, when the
boys move up TO senior high school,
they have already had two years
experience in football, and thus they
come to the coach in senior school
already we'll grounded in the funda
mentals of the game. But here in
Hagerstown, with no football pro-
gram in the junior highs, Coach
Eddie Senior has TO develop and
produce football team from
scratch, and at the end of the Sec
ond year, just when the boys are
becoming of real value as football
players, they graduate. and he has
to start all over again.
| doubt If there is a single team
that plays the Hagerstown Hubs that
is handicapped like that. And /
think it's beginning to tell amongst
the boys themselves, who, when they
get of high school age, feel keenly
the fact that the high school cannot
compare with other schools on an
even footing, and they have to go
out week after week and see their
team take a licking.
In my opinion the all around pro-
gram Of the Hagerstown High School
would be helped tremendously If
the Board of Education and the
Board of County Commissioners
could see their way clear to: |,
Give the High School an adequate
up-to-date athletic field and q work
out full four-year athletic pro-
gram.
If you agree with me, why don't
you talk it up, not among your
selves, but with the members Of the
Board of Education and the mem
bers of the Board of County Com
missioners?
II was an inspiring sight on Tues
day noon to see the ballroom of
the Hotel Alexander full to over
flowing at a joint luncheon meeting
of the Lions Club and the Kiwanis
Club. 1t is such meetings as these
that make you feel that Hagers-
town really is fine place in which
to live and make living.

Columbus Boychoir
November 10
Concert, Sponsored By Civic
Music Assn, To Feature Mo-
zart's Comic Opera, "Bastien
And Bastienne."

The Columbus Boychoir, directed
by Herbert Huffman, will give a
concert here on Tuesday, Novem-
Der Is, at $50 p m, in the Hagers-
town High School auditorium, I'M
der the sponsorship of the Hagers-
town Civic Music Association.
Featuring the program will be the
presentation by the choir, of Mo-
zart's comic opera, "Bastien and
Bastienne," written by the great
composer when he was just twelve
years old--the average age of the
boys who will present it on Tuesday
night.
The program will open with a
group of sacred works, ranging from
motets of Latin liturgy to such re-
ligious favorites as Schubert's ave
Maria" Then following the opera,
the boys, attired in mannish blue
suits, offer the Highest section of the
program, a group of songs in Eng
lish which may vary in mood from
madrigals to a boogie-woogie ar
rangements of ''Three Little Pigs,
or the amusing Deaf Old Woman"
During this period the youthful
choristers have opportunity to real
ly let themselves go. Heads wag
and feet tap in rhythm during the
comedy numbers, and listeners full
ly realize how much fun singing
can be.
The concert concludes with "The
Lords Prayer"

Assure Restoration
OF Hager Home

City And County Each Appro-
pirate $4,000 For Project ~
Public Donated $9,6OO-So-
ciety To Use $4,000 OF It's
Own Funds.
The appropriation Of $4,000 by the
Mayor an dCouncil on Monday night
and the voting of similar amount
by the Board of County Commits
sioners at their meeting on Tues
day, assures the ultimate restoration
of the Jonathan Hager Home, which
has been major project by the
Washington County Historical So
ciety, under the able direction Of
Mrs. Frank W. Mish, Jr., president
During the campaign to raise
funds, total of $4,000 was collect
ed, and an additional 5000 has been
pledged. And in addition 10 this,
the Society has also voted $4,000
from its own funds. Thus there
will be available for the restoration
work sum of about $4,000. It
should also be pointed out that in
addition to the $4,000 voted from
the Historical Society's own funds
for the restoration project, the So
eiety also put up $4,000 of its own
money at the time the city and the
society jointly bought the Hager
Home and the adjacent land.
No definite date, of course, has
been even talked about as to when
the restoration work will begin, but
the matter will probably be discuss
ed by the society at an early date.

THE DISTRICT. which has
L more than l35, 600 pas
senger automobiles registered
this year, Is singularly free of
auto thieves - professionals,
that Is.
From five to eight cars are
stolen here every day, and
in almost every case 1t Is an
amateur job. Professional car
theft rings haven't operated
here for 10 years or more, ac-
cording to Detective 1t. Jacob
Wolf of the auto squad.
The last big auto ring
cracked by local detectives
took six months Of their time,
led all over Virginia and
North Carolina, and resulted
in the recovery Of Sc autos
and penitentiary terms for a
couple Of the ringleaders.
That was in 1885. In 1895 1t.
Wolf and his men followed
