The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1949-07-21
BY A. j. Williar

Wnefe is II! FOR years we nave
been hearing and seeing in the news
papers lot of talk about the great
dual highway between Hagerstown
and Frederick, and as we drove out
East Washington street in Hagers-
town, we saw stretching before us
two fine cement highways, gently
curving toward. the other, that look
ed so inviting we could hardly re-
sist the temptation to explore them
further. But somehow we never
seemed to have the time, so always
hightailed it home across the noun
tains by way of Foxville on our old
narrow road as that meant a drive
of only 10 miles as against As around
by Frederick.
Recently, however, when in Ha-
gerstown, we had occasion to go
to Frederick also, so gladly hailed
the opportunity of exploring that
dual route, only to find that just
about as far out of Hagerstown as
Charlie Keller could knock one of
his famous home runs, those dual
lanes converged on one another and
became a single road instead of
a double one. Well, why not? 1t
was wide enough to accommodate all
the traffic that was moving. and there
was plenty moving too, so why spend
so many millions more just to have
q grass plot between you and the
fellow that is coming while you are
going.
| have read how many millions
the highway we now have cost us
and it is plenty, though of course
that was but drop in the bucket
to what our friends on Capitol Hill
in Washington spend, but again, why
spend for the sake of spending, when
our taxes are already high enough.
We had not driven a mile before
we noticed one good point. There
are quite number of fine homes al
ready built and more are under con-
struction all along the line, and every
one of them, and the business places.
too, are placed well back from the
highways Whether it was the good
civic sense of the builders or whether
the law prevented them building
closer, l don't know, but it is a fine
thing and will help greatly in keep
ing the highway thing of beauty
instead of cluttered up road. If
you don't believe me, just walk out
East Main street, Thurmont, and
look at the new school building jut-
ting out to the pavement, while all
other buildings set well back.
We had not gone more than few
miles before we forgot all about
single or dual highways, two lane
or four lane drives, for the beauties
Of old Mother Nature began to un-
fold before us and from then on it
was feast to the eyes, as we went
along on the roller coaster, the top
of each gentle hill opening up new
vistas of fields, clusters of trees, lit
tie narrow wales, and through wide
valleys with the spurs of the Blue
Ridge ever cropping up and on be-
ing passed seemingly reappearing
again, through in slightly different
size and shape, one after another,
stretching away into the dim blue
distance. Then after long climb
we came to the top of South Noun
tain and had to exclaim aloud, as the
wonderful Middletown Valley un-
folded before us. Mile after mile
of green wheat fields with their
heavy heads nodding in the breeze,
acre after acre of grass lands, some
already cut and drying for winter
feed and others with cattle cropping

6. 0. P. Women Hear
Brewster and Taft;
End Meeting Tonight

The advisory board of the Ma
tional Federation of Women's Re-
publican Clubs will complete its
two-day meeting today, after hear
ing Senator Brewster. Republican,
of Maine. open fire last night on
the record of the infant 81st Con-
gress.
The advisory board members were
scheduled to have luncheon with
women members of Congress in the
Senate Dining Room and to confer
with Republican leaders. A recep-
ton by Mrs. Joseph R. harrington,
board president, will close the days
activities.
American voters bought an "un-
reliable, perishable, tawdry trinket"
in putting Democrats into Office last
November. the Advisory Board was
told today by Mrs. Robert w.
Macauley. executive director.
Urges Greater Role for Women.
She said that for over 16 years
the American consumers have been
buying from a political firm whose
charter empowers it to sell fair, i'm
partial government under law" She
declared that instead, the Demo-
cratic Party has been selling party
favors to every economic, ra-
cial and social group under the
sun"
To build up the womens role in
the Republican Party, Mrs. Macauley
urged extension of study groups
planned to suit the time and interest
requirements of every woman in the
country and participation by COP
women in party precinct meetings.
Speaking at dinner of the Re-
publican State Committee of the
District in the Hotel Statler, Sena-
tor Brewster recalled that Presi-
dent Truman had mentioned Is
days as time enough for Congress
to enact the rather revolutionary
program of last summer.
Presidential Raise Cited.
Reviewing the record of the 81st
Congress after 80 days in session,
he listed:
A salary increase for the Presi-
dent to 100000 a year and a
$4,000 a year increase in his ex-
pense allowance.
An unsuccessful attempt to exempt
$40 tickets to the Inaugural Ball
from taxation.
An extension CT controls under
the formula provided by the 80th
Congress.
The Senator noted q failure to do
anything about civil rights legisla-
ton or about amendments to end
filibusters.
Earlier in the day, at a luncheon
given at the May1ower Hotel by
the District League of Republican
Women, Senator Taft, Republican,
of Ohio predicted that new labor
legislation will contain several of
the provisions of the Taft-Hartley
Act.
Sees Discussion on Merits.
He expressed approval of the fact
that Congress has gotten back to
the point where even Democratic
members of the (Senate Labor
committee, the people who were
elected by labor, are prepared to
discuss each of these issues on its
merits.
The Senator said the Republican
Party must present its principles
forcefully and effectively to the
people in the future, adding, II
don't think we have done that very
we'll
Although it has suffered five de-
feats in row, he declared, the
party has "as many lives as a cat"
He said he believes the faults of
the Soth Congress were largely ones
of omission, and that while there
were things it didn't do, the Demo-
Gratis didn't do them for IA years."

they refer to their food as a mess,
The Navy cook book now is being

Considerable progress already
has been made. Take the case OF

says that he dislikes mass pro-

is given to individual taste
Connors feels that different
approach is possible. For instance
he often manages to serve indi-
vidual omelets at breakfast.
Conner: says that hotels go to
the trouble of making each meal
seem quite special and why can't
the Navy do it? His approach is
being studied by Naval and mill
