will give two concerts at the Ha-
gerstown High School, on Tuesday,

The University Band got its start

was reorganized and officially named
the University of Maryland Band
The University Band is now the
largest and most active under
graduate organization on the cam
pus and furnishes music and en-
tertainment for a variety of occa-
sions.
In September 1913 the Band was
divided into three separate groups,
each having a specific function
the Marching Band, the Activities
Band and the Concert Band. The
Concert Band, which will appear
in Hagerstown, has a membership
of 65 of the schools finest musicians.
Besides presenting a varied program
to students, the concert group also
makes several outside appearances
over the State during the school
year. Among the more recent pro-
grams presented by the group have
been five student concerts at College
Park, performances for patients at
Walter Reed Hospital and an APP
pearance at Marlboro before the
Mitchellville Tobacco Growers As
ISOLATION. Several other concerts are
scheduled for Maryland and the
District of Columbia this year.

To Participate In
Huge Relief Effort
Zone Great Hour" Broadcast
Saturday Night To Be Fol-
lowed By Zone Great Offering"
On Sunday.

On Sunday.
Hagerstown churches will join
with 10000 others of Protestant,
Anglican, Orthodox and Catholic
faith this week end in the greatest
call to Christian charity in which
they have ever been united-One
Great Hour and One Great Offering.
One Great Hour, to be broadcast
from ten to eleven o'clock, EST,
over the American Broadcasting
Company, Columbia Broadcasting
System and Mutual network, as
well as hundreds of Independent sta
tions, will present in dramatic form
the tremendous need for Christian
help in Europe and Asia.
Heading the cast will be screen
luminaries Gregory Peck, Ida Lupino
and Robert Montgomery. Quentin
REYNOLDS. renowned overseas cor
respondent and commentator, will
be the narrator, the script having
been prepared under the direction
of Playwright Robert Sherwood.
Climaxing the appeal, President
Truman will urge the audience of
more than fifty million which is ex-
pected to tune in to attend divine
services in their own churches the
following morning and join in the
One Great Offering which will be
received at that time. These gifts
of money will be expended through
the regular UNCONVENTIONAL chan

but will all be aimed at one single
purpose-the bringing of the heal
ing hand of the Christ to suffering
humanity.
In some communities, church bells
will ring shortly before ten on Sat
urday evening, as a reminder to the
people to tune in their radios at ten
o'clock.
Funds obtained through the offer
ing win be used to rebuild churches,
schools, homes for orphans and aged,
and to help the churches in their
work of caring for, ministering to
and relocating the tens of thousands

Herman L. Mills, Republican, was
elected mayor of Hagerstown on
Tuesday, defeating his Democratic
opponent, Edward Oswald, in his
bid to succeed retiring Mayor Rich
ard H. Sweeney. The Republicans
also gained control of the City Coun-
ell by winning three of the five
seats.
In another phase of the election,
Hagerstown's voters gave over
Whelming approval to the new
home rule city charter, the unof-
fetal count early Wednesday morn
ing showing that 5,315 people voted
in favor of the charter and 1928
cast votes against it.
With slightly more than 1000
votes being cast in Tuesdays cleo
ton, Mills rode easily to victory,
with an unofficial majority of LAOS
votes. The successful candidates
final count was 6,O46 votes compar-
ed with 4,641 for Oswald.
About one o'clock Wednesday
morning, Oswald called Mills, con-
ceding the election and wishing his
opponent very successful admin
istration.
The victory of the Republicans in
gaining control of the City Council
represents the first time the COP
has had majority of councilmen
since the Wertz administration in
1893.
In Ward Three, Luther Broom de-
feated Democratic incumbent Earl
Wolfe by an unofficial margin of ITS
votes Melvin Jennings, the Re
publican candidate in Ward Five,
whose election was in doubt until
the final returns were received,
squeezed through to victory over
Benjamin Yates by an 18-vote mar
gin. The other winning Republican
was Jack Hellane, of Ward One.
Hellane was Unopposed.
The Democrats had councilmen
elected in Wards Two and Four. Roy
Knight defeated Kenneth Sim by
1876 votes in Ward Two, while in
Ward Four Democratic incumbent
Frank Elliott won a decisive triumph
over Jack Byers by margin of sos
vote.
Edward M. Bearinger, independ-
ent candidate for mayor, polled only
sos votes.
The more than 1000 votes cast
in Tuesdays election compared with
1852 votes tailed in the mayoralty
contest four years ago, when Rich
ard H. Sweeney was successful over
John D. Dunn. About sixty percent
Of the city voters turned out this past
Tuesday to bring about the Repub-
lican upset.
For all practical purposes, the
new home rule" charter passed
upon favorably by the voters takes
effect at once, according to City
Attorney Edward Oswald. A bill
giving legislative confirmation to the
charter is now awaiting the sigma
ture of Governor Lane after it re-
Gently got approval of the State Leg
islature.
Besides quite a few other desir-
able aspects, the big advantage of
the charter, from a long range point
of view, is that it gives Hagerstown
greater authority to manage its own
local affairs, with less interference
in municipal matters coming from
Annapolis.

Under the home rule charter pro-
vision the Mayor and Council or ten
percent of the voters through petit
ton can initiate at any time change
in the charter itself. Such proposed
changes would then be voted on by
all the voters of the city at spe-
cial or regular election. No action
would be required on the part of the
lawmakers at Annapolis. The An
napolis legislators could, however,
still make new local laws or reverse
charter changes made by the voters

EWCE, Cheney. Wash, Aug IS
Thelma Rolseth, a l949 graduate OF
Libby high school is winner Of one
of the two Ella Ferris Memorial
awards to Eastern Washington Col

College before entering the army.
The Ella Ferris scholarships were
established last week by Mr.. and
Mrs. Edgar Schaeffner of Quincy,

Miss RolSeth was chosen because
of her scholastic average, her par

felt that any student who could

Court List Of Stocks
In Trust Funds Issued

The Register Of Wills Office at
District Court now has on hand
copies of a booklet listing court
approved stocks and bonds for
trustees Of trust funds and other
|fiduciaries who are accountable to
the court.
The booklets were gotten out
under direction of Theodore Cogs-
we'll, Register of Wills.
The booklets are published in
line with the modification Of court
rules, announced in June, which
permit trustees accountable to the
court to invest trust funds in pre-
ferred and common stocks for the
first time in the courts history.
A foreword in the booklet said
the securities are listed "only after
causing a thorough investigation
to be made Of all factors" speci-
fed by the new court rule. It
warns, however:
1.-THE listing Of any security
herein does not constitute a rep
resentation that the f1duciary is
relieved Of the duty Of making a
careful investigation Of each Sc
curity before investing In the
same. To the contrary, attention
is directed to the fact that con-
slant review and survey Of invest
ments are necessary to ascertain
changes which may cause securi-
ties, listed at this time, to fail to
qualify under the rule of any
specified future date.
Therefore, before making trust
investments. f1duciaries should
supplement the listing. of any
particular security by their own
careful investigation. for the pro-
lection of their trust and them
| selves"
