Around Town With
The Editor

The picture on the editorial bull
letin board of the Herald-Mail, en-
titled "Disintegration of Demo-
crat," if published, would without
doubt win the award as the finest
action picture of the year.
R. H. Mick" Nickerson, playing
at the Fountain Head Country Club
golf course over the week end with
Paul Fryer, Ross Copley and Eddie
Maugans, entered the golf Hall of
Fame when he shot a hole-in-one
on the 179-yard fourth hole.
Apart from Nick's excitement and
pride in his achievement, they tell
me that it completely fioored Ross
Copley and he wasn't able to play
any more golf that day.
My congratulations to Mayor H. l..
Mills and his Council on the APP
pointment of M. E. Ellinger as po-
lice commissioner and Joseph S.
Ward as light plant commissioner,
and my further congratulations to
these two gentlemen for accepting
the appointments.
Both men are outstanding business
men of the community, and there is
no question but that their accep-
lance of the appointments will mean
quite a sacrifice on their part, but
they have set an example for the
rest of the business and professional
men of the community by agreeing
to take a part in our city's govern
ment. and it is to be hoped that these
appointments will encourage bust
ness and professional men in the
future to more actively take part
in city government.
Ell Ellinger, as most of us know
him, in his first official action has
shown that he intends to keep the
public fully informed of what goes
on as far as his department is con.
cerned. He has called meeting OF
the entire police force tomorrow af'
ternoon to which the editors of al
the local newspapers Cloth daily
and weekly as well as the repre-
sentatives of our two radio stations
have been invited to be present.
In his letter he stated:
1T is my opinion that in order tt
carry out a successful program il
my new capacity as Police Com
. missioner must have the full co
operation of the Press and the Radio
and l shall see to it that you are
advised as much in advance as pos
sible of all anticipated activities.
Il will appreciate your having
such members of your staff as yol
desire present at this meeting so tina
the people of Hagerstown can be in
formed, through your medium, o
our immediate plan of action"
And let's hope that the police com
missioner's example will be follow
ed by the entire administration.

Two Fine Concerts
BY University Band
Over 1900 School Children
Hear Afternoon Concert -
Leadership Of Frank Sykora
Brings High Praise From Audi
ence At Evening Concert.

The two concerts given by the
University of Maryland 75-piece
Concert Band on Tuesday, under the
sponsorship of the Hagerstown XII
wants Club, will long be remember
ed by those who heard them.
At the afternoon concert, for
school children only, the High School
auditorium was packed to the doors
with youngsters from the Hagers-
town and County schools, and they
showed their appreciation by de-
handing, not only encore after en-
core, but even demanding-and get
ting-some of the numbers they es-
pecially liked, played over second
time.
Discussing the afternoon concert,
after it was over, Frank Sykora,
conductor of the band and director
of instrumental music at the uni
versity, stated that the success of the
children's concert and their obvious
enjoyment-and understandings
the program, made the trip to Ha-
gerstoWn a huge success, even if
that was the only concert the band
was to give here.
Although the evening concert, for
the general public, was not as well
attended as the afternoon one, those
who were there, despite the heavy
rain, enjoyed a real musical treat
It would take a more experienced
music critic than I am to do full
justice to the program, but there
were two things in particular that
impressed me very much. One, the
remarkable job the conductor, Frank
Sykora, has done with these young
men and women-some of the boys,
just a few years ago, were in my
Scout Troop-who are students at
the University and have taken up
music as an extra activity; and two
the enthusiasm of every member OF
the band.
Whether they were playing the
novelty number, cat The Circus, y
during which I could close my eyes
and imagine myself under the big
top. or the more difficult Wagner's
Introduction to Act Ill of the Opera
Lohengrin," every member of the
band put his, or her, whole soul in
to every number, with the result that
we were treated to a performance
that excelled many professional
concert that / have heard
The conducting of Mr.. Sykora was
quiet, but polished, and it was obvi-
Gus that the members of the band
were very much aware, and ap-
preciative of his leadership.

unfamiliar to the fans who have
seen the majority of mythical
teams for the year, I still believe
that If the following mentioned
men were grouped, and played as
well as they did against Notre
Dame, they would be capable of
giving any All-America team in
the country q very tough ball
game.
OF the II men picked, only one
received the unanimous vote Of
all SO players. Needless to say,
he was Kyle Rote Of Southern
Methodist. The new offense that
Matty Bell employed against our
team was designed definitely to
exploit fully the talents Of the
hard-running Rote. Running is
not his only forte, as his passing
and kicking did equally as much
to keep the Mustangs a constant
threat. It is safe to say that
barring injury Kyle Rote will be
one Of the Nations best backs in
1850.
Bagdon is Close Second.
Trailing Rote by one vote was
Michigan States ace guard, Ed
Bagdon. Bagdon teamed with
Don Mason, who also was picked
by our players, to give the Spar
tans the finest pair of guards in
collegiate football. Hardly an ALL
America team hasn't mentioned
one of them, and it is a fact that
both are so good that it keeps
either Of them from being a unan-
imuos choice.
Immediately behind Bagdon
with "a votes, was his teammats
Lynn Chandnois. Playing botf
offensive and defensive halfback
the 195-pound Chandnois did just
about everything a coach coule
ask for. The greatest tribute that
possibly could be paid him already
has been given, as he was the first
player to be signed by the Cleve.
land Browns. When Paul Brown
signs a man he Is a good one.

Art Weiner Of North Carolina
