The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1949-01-13

Fiery, who Will oppose Earl Wolfe IN
the Democratic primary in Ward 8,
no new candidates for either Mayor
or Councilman, had filed up to p. m
on Tuesday. One prospective candi-
date for Mayor, however, called at
the office of the City Clerk on Tues
day afternoon and obtained filing
blank, which he may have used be-
fore the deadline (midnight We'd
nesday).
At the first 1949 meeting of the
Kiwanis Club held at the Hotel
Alexander last Thursday, the incom-
ing president, PAUL S. Shields; his
associate officers, and in fact every
member of the club, got a real start
for 1949 through the medium of a
magnificent inspirational address
given by the Rev. DR.. Wilson P. Ard.
l would have liked nothing better
than to have published in its en-
tirety Doctor Ards talk, but unfor
tunately it was extemporaneous,
and to be perfectly frank, it would
have taken an expert of experts to
have kept up with him, even in
shorthand.
The youngsters of today have a
way of sizing up their parents, as
Arley Sica found out in church a
couple of Sundays ago.
l just can't resist telling you this
story about Mrs. Phil Long, whom
Mrs. Douglas mentions so often in
her Homemakers' column.
1t appears that Phil gave his wife
an electric blanket for Christmas,
and the other night she decided to
use it, and when she was comfort
ably ensconsed in bed she said, MY
this blanket feels cosy" to which
Phil replied, "That's fine, but l
imagine it will be even better if
you turned the switch on"

And talking about electric blank
cts, l just can't wait to run into
Max Fiery and Herman Hopes to
get all the details about the young
lady who demonstrated the electric
blanket at the Furniture Mart in
Chicago.
Ell Ellinger has finally found a
sucker" in the Rotary Club Bowl
ing League. He gives Woody"
Harner 81 pins and then bets him
a dollar that he can beat him, and
every time he makes that bet he
proceeds to roll 400 or better
game. Monday night he rolled 405.

When George Tingle went home
and told his good wife that he had
a ticket for her for the Masonic
Banquet that was held last night,
Mrs. Tingle said that she was aw-
fully sorry, but that she couldn't
possibly go. And when George
pressed for reason. her answer
was, aren't you doing the cater
ing?"
At the annual organization meet
ing of the board of directors of the
Washington County Community
Chest held on Tuesday, the follow
ing officers were elected: president,
George M. Bohman; president,
L. Vinton Hershey; treasurer,
Thomas w. Pangborn; secretary,
James w. Stone.
The board of directors expressed
their deep appreciation of the work
done during the past year by the
retiring president, Frank S. Letter,
and also voiced their appreciation of
the wonderful job done by the 1913
campaign chairman, D. E. Stultz;
his vice-chairman John M. Baer,
and the various division heads and
workers who participated in the
successful campaign.
/ understand that am being
criticized because published the
stories of the filing for Mayor, COM
plete with pictures, of John Dunn,
Jim Mobley and Lee Elgin, and did
not do the same for H. L. Mills and
Ed Oswald So, let's get the facts
straight.
Mr.. Dunn, Mr.. Mobley and Mr.. Ell
gin all furnished me with the stories
that were published, and also the
pictures, but I've heard nothing
whatsoever from either Mr.. Mills
or Mr.. Oswald, and that's the reason
the stories of their filing were not
published. Il did, of course, an
nounce the fact that they had filed.
The Globe Independent will be
glad during the campaign to give
reasonable space to all candidates,
providing they furnish me with the
