The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1948-09-09

AT last WEEK ) HlSGlhlS VI eiS
Mayor and Council, at which the
conditions in the vicinity of the Four
States Livestock Yards, and the
question of no parking in the first
block of Jonathan Street, were dis
cussed, there was Boy Scout pres
ent who had to take in meeting of
the Mayor and Council in order to
qualify for his Civic Merit Badge.
When the meeting was over, l asked
him what he thought of it, and here
is his exact answer:
"The meeting was all right, Mr..
Douglas, but why does everybody
have to blame everybody else for
things that go wrong?"
The youngster was referring to
the discussion conferred around park
ing in the vicinity of the Four States
Sales Yard. City officials who took
part in the discussion were quite
free in stating that the parking
laws should be enforced, but no
body wanted to take the responsi-
bility of saying that he would see
that they were enforced. During
the discussion, one member of the
delegation of residents in the stock
yards vicinity, came up with this
a. quote of the week:
1.-THE police work for the city and
try to please the public, but 1 guess
it's pretty hard to do both"
The one complaint received by
Sheriff Baker regarding the motor
races near Conococheague, sounds
verys much to me like a personal
matter and not complaint in the
interest of the welfare of the COM
munity.
Those who are opposed to the con-
tinuing of these motor races should
bear in mind that the old Blue Law
regarding amusements on Sunday
in Washington County (there is a
special amendment to the law, which
permits certain amusements in Ha-
gerstown only, on Sunday after
noons) applies just as much to the
playing of baseball anywhere in the
county outside of the City of Ha-
gerstown, as it does to anything
else. and if the motor races are
stopped, then baseball games in the
county, and also football games, for
which an admission is charged. or
collection is taken up, will have
to be stopped too, for you just can't
make fish of one and flesh of the
other.
It seems to me that our County
Delegates and our State Senator
would be well advised to introduce
an amendment to this old Blue Law
at the next session which convenes
in January, excluding Washington
County from its provisions in the
same manner as Hagerstown is ex-
cluded.
It's palpably unfair to anybody to
have them go to lot of expense
to prepare for something and then
have someone suddenly turn around

there have ever been any COM
plants against his service, we
haven't heard them. He has been
a good enough public servant to
hold office first as sheriff and now
as treasurer, which rather proves
that he's son the job.
Delos j. Nissen, incumbent coun-
ty engineer, is unopposed for re-
election, which reveals that the Re-
publicans couldn't find anyone to
run against his good record. The
county engineer is mighty i'm
portant post-through his office
most of the tax money for high
ways, bridges and bitches is wisely
or extravagantly spent-and the
job Nissen has been doing in that
capacity could be used as an argu-
ment in favor of the entire Demo-
cratic county ticket.
Yes, this is year in which
the Democrats can proudly do
all their fussin' and fightin'
in support of their entire tick
ct! The only county tissue" is
the Republican cry, "We want
their jobs.

The School Bond Issue
Is a "MuSt" for "MOSt"
BY RALPH L. SNYDER

Before We get into partisan
politics, permit us to say that the
Port Clinton school bond issue is
a "must" for local voters. Our
Board of Education has determin-
ed that this program is mini
mum program to house the ex-
pected enrolment in the Port
Clinton schools in approaching
years.
We have the choice of
quitting business" as a COM
munity or OF providing hous-
ing for our expected school
enrolment. That leaves us
just one choice, as we don't
propose to quit business. But
we can "quit business" unin-
tentionally if the required IS
percent majority does not ap-
prove the bond issue next
Tuesday. The fact that 65
percent majority is necessary
for approval. makes it
must for local voters, as
those who fail to vote "yes"
are swelling the ranks of a
possible 35 percent minority
which could defeat the cause.
Port Clinton hasn't turned down
a school issue in our memory, and

He is opposing the miracle man"
of Ottawa County politics, man
who has been elected and reflect
ed for four terms without anybody
knowing why. If Reider doesn't
beat the incumbent this year, there
are lots of folks in Ottawa county
who will agree that the office of
representative should be abandoned
to reduce expenses!
Tank and Witt Team
In the commissioners race, the
Democrats have Edw. c. Tank and
Rollie c. Witt with two to be elect
ed. Tank is an old favorite, seek
ing to return to the commissioners
board. During his previous SER
vice, he was a faithful and hard
working commissioner, and lust
loved" to go to Columbus to put
up a fight for the best interests
of Ottawa county. Rollie G, Witt,
an incumbent seeking reelection,
has through his straightforward
service made himself very popular
throughout the county, as attest
ed by the votes received in both
primary and general elections. 1t
would be very difficult for even a
Republican to count him out for re-
election.
Myron A. Rosentreter, Oak Har-
Dor attorney, is the Democratic
candidate for prosecuting attorney.
His brother, Atty. Norton Rosen-
treter has served this county both
as prosecuting attorney and as
state representative. Their father,
now deceased, was an Oak Harbor
business man for long years, and
the Rosentreter name has always
been clean and strong in this coun-
| ty.
The Democrats have a most cap
able woman candidate in Velma
McRitchie Sauvey for Clerk of
Courts. AS the name "McRitchie"
| implies, she is not a newcomer in
/ politics but has never before sought
election to public office. AS chief
deputy in the clerks office at the
present time, she has virtually been
"Clerk of Courts" during the SER
vice-resultant illness of William F.
Fielder, and has demonstrated her
ability to handle the job.
Merriam Budd, candidate for
sheriff has based his campaign
on the slogan, "There is no
substitute for experience" and
has been pretty modest in
stressing that point, with Is
years of experience. Aside
from traffic and law enforce
ment activities of the sheriff's
department, that department
carries out tremendous
amount of duties in connection
with the Common Pleas Court
-summoning jurors, handling
witnesses, handling prisoners,
conducting sales, carrying out
court orders, etc. 1t is in this
field that Budd's long expert
ence is worth a great deal to
this county. In addition, his
character and high reputation
serve. admirably to make him r..
strong candidate for the Of
flee to which he aspires.
In Elgin Winters, incumbent re-
corder, the Democrats have cam
didate who will be hard to beat
| thanks to the faithful service he
has rendered. Elgin is always on
the job, making his office one of
friendly service" as his motto. 1t
would be most difficult to hire any
one else to do such an efficient job
as Elgin does, especially in view
of the low salary that office pays.
Likewise in d. L. Dewey Cul-
lenen, incumbent candidate for
treasurer, the Democrats have a
man who has rendered constant,
! faithful and efficient service. If,

The Democratic Cause
Looks Mighty Good

We folks who call ourselves
Democrats have done a lot of fus-
sim and fightin' and this year it
looks like all of us should be in
there fussin' and fightin' for our
party ticket - it has looked
mighty good for our county ticket
for long time, it has looked good
for our state ticket with Frank
j. Lausche at the top ever since
we let him get licked two years
ago, and now it's even beginning
to look good for President Harry
S. Truman. If Mr.. Dewey's "I'll
do it better" campaign hasn't cost
him the election by November End,
he can be mighty thankful that
the, election isn't scheduled for
November 15thD
Looking at the Ottawa county
tickets, the Democrats have
slate of candidates which is
strong from top to bottom,
while the Republicans have
slate which has some strong
points, some average points,
and some weak points.
Robert w. Reider, editor of the
Ottawa County Exponent at Oak
Harbor, is the Democratic candi-
date for representative. Bob" has
long aspired to public service in
the legislature, having made quite
respectable showing as a youth
full candidate for the legislature
ten years ago. Since that time,
he has certainly "won his spurs" as
an energetic, intelligent and sue
cessful editor and public servant.
