ing the early part of 1910 the
Royal Blue store at Woodstock
secured his services. Later on
in the same year he became
manager of the meat market at
Zion Department Store.
With the opening of World
War II hostilities, Ernie took
employment with the Johnson
Cupboard Motor Company at
Waukegan, and worked for
them until 1916.
In his spare time he took
up the rug cleaning business.
At this time he worked some
time at National Tea and Kro-
gers.
With the closing of the
O.P.A. late in 1916 the inward
natural tendency for the butch
ering business came to the fore
again and in January of 1947
he went into business for him
self selling meat. both whole
sale and retail from his resi-
dence at 1915 Eshcol Avenue.
He soon was pushed for space
so that in March of 1947 Err
ME rented a small store in the
Sheridan Laundry building at
11O5 9th street. This soon be-
came too small for the volume
of business, so that Ernie be-
gan looking around for larg-
err place.
Soon the opportunity arriy-
ed and he purchased the build
ing at 1892 9th Street, near
ly across the street from his
market in the Laundry build
ing. Here on September l, 1947
he opened his own meat mar
ket dealing exclusively in
meats and meat products.
He has been very successful
in this location and even dur
ing the scarcity of meat had
to employ as many as five
butchers to handle the meat
trade. Ernie's is the only mar
ket in the city handling prac-
tically meats exclusively.
Ernie's head assistant is Ed
win Merville, who greets all
the customers with his friendly
smile. Edwin has spent over 20
years in the meat business and
knows it thoroughly.
Many of Mr.. Mintern's
friends may wonder how this
instinct for meat market be-
came started in Ernie. It may
be explained by the fact that
his great grandfather operat-
ed his own bakery, butcher,
and grocery business in Ire
land, dealing in wholesale and
retail business. His grandfather
grew up in these lines and lat
er followed the gold rush pros
pectors into Victoria, Austria
liza, following them from one
gold field to another, setting
up meat markets in tents and
dispensing meats to them.
The passage from Ireland
to Australia by sailing ships
took 3 months. Before the days
of refrigeration, live animals
were taken along for fresh
meat, which was served once
a week. Each weekend Harry
Mintern, his grandfather,
butchered and dressed out an
animal.

Rumor Of Troop Crime
In Germany Found
Greatly Exaggerated
By John A. Giles

Army Secretary Royal made pub
lie today a special Investigators
conclusion that reports of black
marketing, crime, drunkenness and
immortality among United States
troops in Germany are greatly
exaggerated"
The report was made to the Sec
retary by Orville j. Taylor of Chi
cago, special assistant, after a
two-month official inspection of
ne American occupation zone. He
left for Germany on February 4
to look into charges by visiting
members Of Congress, clergymen
and others of widespread miscon-
duct on the part of troops. He re-
turned April IL.
All things considered, Mr.. Taylor
concluded, America has every rea-
son to be proud of the Army of
occupation and the men and women
who compose it." He said he sees
no reason for "any radical change"
in regulations or discipline govern
ing 1t.
Comedies Liaisons Exist.
He conceded that "liaisons" be-
tween American soldiers and Ger
man women "do exist and on a very
broad SCALE" but he held that this
is understandable because "condi-
tions were abnormal, temptation
was great and qualification was
easy"
The recent influx of wives and
children from the United States
has greatly eaSed the situation"
Mr.. Taylor pointed out, as he called
attention to the fact that "the
continental attitude toward extra
marital relationships has always
been somewhat different from our
own" He cited figures showing a
sharp decrease in the number of
soldiers tried for illegal billeting."
Mr.. Taylor commented there is
probably less drunkenness in Ger
many than in this country.
Black marketing of a sort is
widespread among occupational per-
sonnet" he reported. Most of 1t,
however, is of petty" nature, with

for "knick-knacks, trinkets and
souvenirs"
"Large-scale barter or black mar
ket for profit is substantially thing
OF the past" he reported.
-Four Have Special Trains.
Four top Army officials have spe-
cial trains in Germany, Mr.. Taylor
said. Gen. Lucius D. Clay, COM
mander Of United States troops; 1t.

personal car, lounge car and
sleeper. Maj. Gen. George P. Hays,
head Of the military government,
has single-car diesel.
In Austria 1t. Gen. Geoffrey
Keyes has a five-car train.
These private trains ARE highly
economical and any senior United
States Army commander In Europe
would be seriously hampered who
did not have one at his disposal"

AsHOOKH&G
AND
.sAHSTEAHAG
By Ellen Haged0rn

He was just a nondescript
mongrel. His legs were long
and thin; his short coat mouse
grey color; his head narrow;
but his ears perked up eagerly
and his eyes adored the one who
spoke kindly to him.
By day he ate Terry's food
and drank Terry's water. At
night he slept under the canvas
which covered the children's
bicycles.
We questioned the neighbors
but no one knew to whom the
mongrel belonged. He wore
no license tag.
Finally we decided we could
no longer feed and house this
creature, especially since he be-
gan a shrill, penetrating bark
ing which lasted from one I'M
til three in the morning.
Reluctantly the S. P. c. A. was
called. A short time later, with
a feeling both of remorse and
relief, we watched them take
away the dog.
A lingering sense of guilt
haunted us for hours.
We do hope someone called
to claim him at the shelter. He
needed so much to be loved.

Around Town with
The Editor

There was one motion adopted at
last weeks meeting of the Board of
Street Commissioners that you can
bet dollars to doughnuts will never
be acted on.
I'm referring to the motion made
by Commissioner H. L. Mills and sec
onded by Commissioner Roy N.
Knight, that Potomac Street be made
two-way street again and that Lo-
Gust and Mulberry Streets revert
back to their status before the new
regulations were put into effect on
August /.
The motion was most surprising
one, since the new regulations are
on a sixty-day trail basis, and one
would have thought that the Board
of Street Commissioners would be
the last to order such a drastic
change, since the new regulations
had been in force less than two
weeks. The motion is even more
surprising in view of the fact that
the citizens of Hagerstown, by a very
large majority are, very much in
favor of the new traffic rules,
though realizing, of course, that
there are one or two bugs that will
have to be ironed out.
My congratulations to the Board
of County Commissioners, to Su-
perintendent of Schools, William M.
British, and the County Board of Ed
ucation for the fine job they are do
ing on the program of undermining
the county schools
During the hectic days of the
school bond issue question, l re-
peatedly stated that the most urgent
building program was the modern
izing of the county schools that were
without running water and inside
toilet facilities, and it sure is good
to see that program really being put
into effect at last.
It is also good to see the really
harmonious relationship between
the two boards, and it is just an
other proof that lot of things can
be accomplished when group of
men sit around a table and quietly
discuss their problems together.
Harold Hoffman has very definite
proof that he got lot of good out
of his recent vacation. When he ar
rived back in his Office last Monday
morning he sat down in his chair
and it promptly broke under him.

been eating, Harold, caused you to
