was deeply grieved to hear on
Monday that Monsignor j. Francis
Leary, the beloved pastor of st.
Mary's Church, had been taken i'll
again and was a patient at the Wash
ington County Hospital.
/ know that the prayers, not only
of his own congregation, but of all
the people of Hagerstown and Wash
ington County, will be going up
daily for the speedy recovery of
this fine Christian gentleman.
The argument as to what the
Mayor and Council should do with
the prize money the City Light
Plant float won in the Mummers
Parade, would never have come up
had the Mayor and Council an
nounced before the float was entered,
that it was not to be placed in COM
petition for prize money.
Two years ago the HagerstoWn
Retailers Bureau entered beautiful
float in the parade, but they did moi
feel it would be right for them to
compete against individual firms or
organizations, so they notified the
Mummer's Parade officials accord
ingly.
still feel that the cost of the float
should be charged against the adj
vertising appropriation of the City
Light Plant, and that the prize
money should either be turned back
to the Mummers Parade committee
to be presened to the float judged
next best to the Light Plant float
or that it be turned over to the
Community Chest so that all coulc
benefit from it..
The two beautiful new wings o.
the Washington County Museum o.
Fine Arts, the gift of Mrs. William
H. Singer, Jr, as a memorial to hel
distinguished husband, will be open
ed to the public on Tuesday, No

to make it point to go through the
building on that day, or as soor

The addition Of the two handsome

Pacific Wait,
Pal Of Marines,
Now Growing Up

SINGAPORE The wonder
waif of the Pacific is almost grown
up now. She's IL years old.
Patsy Ii. the little Chinese girl
who six years ago mysteriously
turned up in the midst of the war
on Guadalcanal. is studying in a
Singapore school.
But she hasn't forgotten her days
with the United States marines on
Guadalcanal She hasn't had a
chance. Newspaper stories up and
and down the coast have kept the
memory alive for her.
Little Patsy, like many young
ster her age, is NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
But in her case this threatens to
become a serious personality prob
lem, according to her guardian.
That's why there are to be no more
interviews.
A lot of American marines who
were on GuadaIcanal win remem-
Der Patsy and wish her happily
over the rocky road Of adolescence.

They viii remember her as the
6-year-old, very sick with malaria.
who one day in the heat Of battle
was carried by natives to the Amer
lean lines. She had been found,
wounded and very i'll, in an aban-
doned Japanese camp.
The marines adopted her and
she became famous as Patsy Of
Guadalcanal."
Patsy had been separated from
her mother, Mrs. Ruth Ii of Singa-
pore, when the ship on which they
were escaping from Malaga was
torpedoed off the Netherlands East
Indies in February, 1912. Mrs. Ii
was rescued. No trace was found
Of her child at the time.
Three thousand miles from the
scene of the sinking, on Guadal-
canal an American correspondent
wrote up the story Of the little Chi
nese girl.
Sister Reads Story.
In New York, Mrs. Ruth LIS
sister. cancer research worker,
read the story and noted that the
little girl answered to the name
of Patsy 1.-the name of the little
niece she lost In the torpedoing OF
the Dutch East Indies. She wrote
to her sister.
It was clew-and the mother
few to the orphanage in the New
Hebrides where the girl had been
placed and recognized Patsy as her
missing daughter.
How she travelled the 5000 miles
from the place where the ship sank
TO Guadalcanal. nobody knows.
Probably the Japanese fished her
out of the sea, adopted her and
brought her with them to Guada-
canal. It's still mystery to every
one, including Patsy.
Today in Singapore growing
up Patsy often asks: Have you
ever met an American marine?

them because 1t Is politically more
advantageous to appear liberal
than to seem conservative.
Some of this is hot weather
guesswork. Particularly it has
proved fruitless In the past to
bank on what a Supreme Court
justice will do, once he is in office
for life. as witness some Of the
present New Deal appointees.
But the ties between Messrs.
Truman, Vinson and Clark are
not guesswork. they are facts.
Many Democrats have long be-
lieved that the Presidents crown
prince was the Chief Justice and
that the Chief Justice wanted to
be President. The Vinson gregari-
ousness-only the Vice President
goes more places with more peo-
ple-has fortified these opinions.
Chumminess Recalled.
When the court vacancy occurred
such Democrats began asking
where Mr.. Vinson stood and re-
calling the chumminess between
him and the Attorney General.
Senator McGrath also had
some ambitions to consider before
he accepts a cabinet post. He
wants to be President, but he
would take a chance on being
Vice President. especially as his
small State and Catholic faith
make the initial effort difficult.
At the moment he controls
Rhode Island. But Gov. Pastore
wants to 60 to the Senate. Thus
it is necessary for Mr.. McGrath to
see that the Rhode Island dele
CATION to the national convention
remains true to him.
Truman officials reply to the
foregoing: Don't count the Boss
out yet. They insist he may find
it necessary to justify himself once
more. And they also suggest that
Mr.. Wilson's friends may be bear
ing down too heavily for Mr.
Wilson's own good on the strategic
position he occupies with respect
to 1852. When they add that the
President is not a great hand to
plan ahead. they are undertaking
their case.

On the Other Hand
One of Our Sacred Cows Prevents
Effective Action Against Big Business

Maybe this Is the correct view
In any case 1t accords with the
original purpose Of the antitrust
laws, which were to tame the
robber-barons of the eighties and
protect the people from monopoly
prices.
On the other hand, those may
now be only secondary purposes
The real purpose now could be tc
prevent the United States from
losing so much of it's free enter
prise system that what is left will
not support a free political de-
mocracy. Back of our politica
freedom there must be economic
freedom. And that doesn't merely
mean freedom from government
as our monoply-minded masters
of finance would have us think
1t means also freedom to compete
on even terms.
Enterprise to Mean Less.
Some enterprises have to bt
big. of course; some even have tt
be monopolies, although these can
not claim freedom from control
But if the law allows the develop.
ment of overpowering business
where it is not essential, the fret
area for business will continue
to shrink and shrink. Enterprise
will come to mean less and less.
