Intensified consumer demand for
larger capacity refrigerators with
out increasing" floor space has been
a prime factor in the designing of
Kelvinator's l949 models.
The latest additions to the Kel-
vinator line, now on display at Bob
man-Warne, Inc, 35 West Franklin
Street, HagerstoWn, are two 8.6 Gu
bic foot models, built to supplement
the famous Masterpiece full-length-
door series. Important feature of
these new models is that they take
no more kitchen space than the pre-
vious seven-cubic-foot models, yet
provide a full 1.6 cubic feet addi-
tional food storage space.
"The new Kelvinator RS and RID
8.6 cubic foot refrigerators provide
top value in the popular eight-foot
capacity class" Mr. Bohman said.

Retired Clerk Of Hagerstown Water

VIM w. SchedLnech, Who Retired In 1947 After 80 Yea
Service Spent Ten Months Visiting And Touring In Cauforns

the trip was made at night, and it
was very cold, / didn't see much on
the 500-mile drive between San
Francisco and Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is go miles long and
40 miles wide, and during my stay
there we visited the Santa Anita
Racetrack, the large oil wells, the
plants of the U. S. Steel and Beth
lehem Steel Companies, besides lots
of iron works of every description.
One thing that impressed me in
Los Angeles was the abundance of
beautiful flowers and fine buildings.
Leaving Los Angeles we went to
Pasadena to see the seven famous
acres Of roses, all of which were in
bloom, and we also stopped at the
stadium where the annual Rose
Bowl Football Game is played and
which seats over 100000 people. On
the way back we stopped at Long
Beach, Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
In Hollywood and Beverly Hills,
the thing that impresses you are
the beautiful homes that are very
high and also have lots of lawn, but
l think we have just as beautiful
homes right here in Washington
County, but they don't have the
glamour of the name Hollywood"
One other thing that impressed
me on my various tours was Muir
Woods, consisting of 428 acres of
centuries old redwood trees, many
of them over 200 feet high.
The other thing that stands out in
my mind as / look back over my
long stay on the coast was the Los
Angeles Union Station, which is the
finest | have ever seen.
l enjoyed every minute of my
trip, during which | travelled over
5000 miles, but still was glad TO
get back home, for after all, there
is just no place like Hagerstown and

Bitter Pill

THE popular novelist, Albert
4 Payson Terhune, once admitted
that, like the well-known Scotch
man, he had a conscience that was
not powerful enough to keep him
from doing wrong, but strong
enough to keep him from enjoying
It.
The first manifestation of this
quality Terhune experienced in his
early childhood He stood accused
of eating an entire bowlful of lump
sugar.
"Did you do it," his mother de-
manded.
YES" walled the young culprit,
"but l cried all the time / was

Dodson had never played golf

luck when he drove off. The ball
flew straight to the green, trickled
across it, then dropped into the
cup. At his very first attempt the
novice had realized the ambition
of every golfer; but he did not seem
unduly excited.
BY miracle, Dodson's next drive
was almost as good. Again the
ball landed on the green, but this
time it stopped a few inches from

He turned alphabetically to his

eucalyptus grove to the top of
hill, from where | could look down
Presidio Avenue and see the Golden
Gate Bridge, Letterman's Hospital,
the Army Post, Alcatraz Prison, the
Palace of Fine Arts Qeft standing
from the World Fair) and the drive
way from San Francisco to the Gold
en- Gate Bridge.
Another time | went down to the
beautiful Golden Gate Park of San
Francisco, which consists of over
1000 acres. l was impressed by the
windmills that were going all the
time to supply water for the park,
and | enjoyed very much the
Fleishmacker Zoo, the Cliff House
and the Seal Rocks.
Another trip took me to Burling-
anne, San Mateo, Redwood City, Lee
land Stanford University, the Hoov-
er Memorial, Palo Alto, Santa Clara,
the Bay Meadows and San Francis
co Race Tracks, San Jose, Concord,
Pittsburgh, Stoneman Camp (the
largest in the State of California;
and then down along the Bay to The
Union Air Field, at one time the
home of the dirigible that was later
lost.
Another trip was down along the
route of the South Pacific Railroad.
On this trip we came to very
high hill and then drove through a
long tunnel, at the other end of
which was the road to the top of the
double-deck bridge across the Bay.
This bridge is nine miles long, very
very high and cost $77,000,000. It
has IL lanes of traffic (six going and
six coming) on each side of the
bridge. The lower deck is used ex-
clusively for heavy motor traffic
such as buses, trucks, etc, as well
as the trolleys. Then we drove
along San Francisco Bay, where the
boats of different nationalities were
tied up in their piers to load and
unload.
Another outing 1 took was by bus
to Berkeley, going through Sausa-
Tito, San Rafael, Santa Rosa, Mare
Island Navy Yard, the University
of California, Vallejo, the Greek
Theatre, Alameda Air Port. the
Berkeley Stadium that seats $4,000
people, and the man-made Treasure
Island.
Still another trip was a three-houl
boat trip up the Bay and back
which was very interesting. On re-
turning from this trip l visited Joe
DiMaggio's Dining Room and had
supper there. Then l took the little
cable car to the Colt Tower and sal
there and took in the sights over
the Bay. Then on to Chinatown,
which was quite trip.
Another bus trip took me to the
Fish Aquarium, Knob Hill (tht
highest point around San Francisco
the Navy Yard, Muir Woods, the
Yacht Harbor, U. S. Transport Docks
Fort Winfield Scott, Bakers Beach
and then to Mission Dolores, which
is across the Golden Gate Bridge
On this trip we stopped at the sight
of Fort Point, which is under the
first tier of the big bridge. It was
here that the Spaniards had a prison
when they fought the Indians ane
Mexicans right at that spot. After
the bridge was built the Army tool
all of the artillery away, but the
mounts are still there and can be
seen along the Bay to the Ocean.
