The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1949-06-30

Most of the l949 cars look as If
they are expecting
am very much surprised that mo-
body has named the present mys-
terry tune, as it is the very familiar
Franz Lehars famous waltz, Say
Not, Loves But A Dream"

AS far as the Mayor and Council
are concerned, am getting TO be like
the late Will Rogers--"All Know Is
What / Read In The Papers"
| read in the Morning Herald on
Tuesday that the Mayor and Coun-
ell were to confer with an authority
ON Merit Systems for city employees
on Tuesday afternoon but since !
was up TO my neck in work, did
not attend, since the article in the
Herald said il was only a conference
of course / wasn't advised even
of that
Imagine my surprise, therefore,
when | picked up yesterday morn
ing's Herald and found that the
Mayor and Council, after the con
ference about the Merit System Cat
which no action was taken), had
gone into regular session and ordered
20 per cent increase in the city
water rates.
The recent Homemakers' Annual
Short Course at the University of
Maryland was real success, but ac
cording to accounts have received,
the special homemakers party put
on before the gals left for home was
the big moment of the week AS
matter of fact | understand that had
teltnt scouts been present, several
of those who put on acts during the
party would have been Immediately
booked, either for the stage or screen.
The highlight of the program, they
tell me, was skit entitled 81 Am
An Indian"
The second Sunday movie trial on
Saturday ended, as did the first one,
in a hung jury, and it is my under
standing that none of the other
cases will be tried, at least before
the November term of court,
also understand that as a result
of the hung jury, those theatres that
have already been operating on Sun
day will continue to do so, without
any interference from the author
tiles.
The jury that tried the case on
Saturday was recalled by Judge
Mish, after being out for three hours
and half, and when they announced
that they were hopelessly deadlocked
and that there was no chance of com
ing to an agreement, the Judge dis
missed them.
Park 10y, personnel manager of
Potomac Edison Co. and men,
Der of the organization for the past
twenty mine years, retires today I'M
der the company's established re-
tirement plan, and l take this OPP
portunity to wish him the enjoy
ment of well earned rest.
| worked with Park 10y quite
bit back in the days when we were
all interested in getting an airplane
carrier named after the Antietam
Battlefield, and from that time on
have come to number him amongst
my many friends in the community.
From what | know of Park, his re-
tirement will just give him more
time to work for the community in
which he lives for he has always
been in the forefront of every com
munlty drive that has been held.
Now that Park is retired, l am al
so looking for added impetus to one
of his favorite hobbies, Bowling On
The Turf" Park originated the
game in Hagerstown and now has
an inter-service club league which
bowls every week at Pangborn Park,
and In addition to that he has in
terested the ladies in the game, and
they too have an active league which
also bowls at Pangborn Park.
