The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1949-10-27
Heres something dat really doe!

with a fine used piano-something
we have been needing for a long
time. Then, on top of that good
news, when / went around to the
Forsyth Storage and Transfer Com
pany to pay for delivering the piano
ON the second floor of our club rooms,
MIR. Forsyth refused to accept any
payment at all.
Just another proof-if any was
needed-that Hagerstown is fine
place in which to live and make a
living.
And gentlemen, if you have any
doubts as to whether the young
sters in the club really appreciate
your generosity, just drop round to
oar Halloween party tomorrow night
and you'll get plenty of proof
Washington County was highly
henored at the annual meeting of
the Maryland State Teachers Asso-
citation held in Baltimore last week,
when Harry r. Poole, principal of
the Smithsburg High School, was
elected second vice-presideht of the
organization
In order TO satisfy the demands of
the public for reserved seats for
the annual Mummers' Parade, it
looks as if the Alsatia Club will
have to put ruling into effect next
year, along the same lines as that
used in major league World Series
games-limiting their members to
certain number of tickets in order
that plenty will be available for the
public,
Although the parade as this is
written is a full week off, there isn't
a reserved seat ticket left, and as
matter of fact the only seats which
were available are bleacher seats
[unreserved) in front of the Court
House and on North Potomac Street
near Wayside Avenue.
The Alsatia Club has done a fine
job this year in building up the
parade but a great deal of credit
also should 60 to the Hagerstown
merchants and the various organiza-
tions who are cooperating 100 per
cent in making this years parade
the biggest yet.
From all indications, the big pic
tare and floor show at the Academy
Theatre tomorrow night, sponsored
by the Fraternal Order of Police in
support of their pension fund, will
be complete sell-out, SO if there
are any tickets still available today,
you had better get yours right now
The benefit is being given for an
extremely worthy cause, and the
grand thing about it is that there is
absolutely no expense involved
whatever, with everybody contrib
uting their services, even down to
the printing of the tickets and win
dow cards, so that the entire pro-
ceeds will go to the pension fund.
For a change, there is nothing to
report concerning the affairs of our
city government, with one exception.
There was no Council meeting held
last week, and the Board of Public
Work meeting, scheduled for Tues
day night, was postponed until $3.50
p. m, today.
The one thing to be reported Is
the fact that action has been taken
to control traffic in the vicinity OF
the new Fountaindale School. Some
time ago City Engineer Abbott was
authorized to contact the State
Roads Commission to see if No
Passing Zone could be worked out
in the neighborhood of the school,
and the matter has been discussed
very fully by Mr.. Abbott, Traffic
officer Sergeant Kiser, G. Bates
Chaires, district engineer of the
State Roads Commission, and Will
liam Brish, superintendent OF
schools.
These discussions eliminated IN
meeting between the city and the
State Roads Commission officials,
which was held right at Fountain
dale School on Monday afternoon,
and as a result of this meeting the
following regulations will be put
into effect by the State Roads Com
mission:
The speed limit on Route IL, from
the City Limits to the Fountain
Head Club Road intersection, will
be reduced from so miles per hour
to 80 miles per hour; parking will
be permitted directly in front OF
the Fountaindale School Con the
schol side of the highway, in order
to permit parents to let out and
