Pangborn Safety
Council Dinner
President Of Baltimore Safety
Council Is Guest Speaker.

Forty-nine members and guests of
the Pangborn Corporation Safety
Council met for the sixth dinner
meeting, in the ballroom of the Alex
ander Hotel, Thursday evening, JAN
uary Is.
Burton Metzger, president of the
Baltimore Safety Council, was the
guest speaker. Introduced by toast
master E. L. Hartman, foundry SUI
perintendent of Pangborn Corpora
ton, Mr.. Metzger spoke on the re-
sponsibility of management and its
supervisors for the safety of all
workers. His talk was based on the
experiences he has had as superin-
tendent of the Western Electric
Company in Baltimore. He has
watched the incident of accidents
reduced to lower and lower figure,
due to the modern philosophy that
safety is dependent upon super
vision, and that everlasting care and
attention of foremen and supervisors
to the welfare of the workers has
produced safer and safer plants for
American workmen.
Frank Kaiss, general superinten-
dent of the Pangborn Corporation,
gave a report on the safety program
at the Pangborn plant and unveiled
the new slogan for 1949, which it is
hoped will reduce the figure of &C.
cident frequencies. c. w. Salesman,
personnel director, outlined the cam
paign for 1949 and explained how the
various shop departments hold
monthly meetings discussing safety
plans that are being worked by
various groups under the Safety
Council Chairman Hartman prais-
ed the fine work that has been done
by John Keplinger as the man of
the year" in promoting safety first at
the local manufacturing plant
The program was concluded by
the showing of sound pictures en-
titled, America The Beautiful" and

Schindel stated that the firm was
deeply indebted to the people of
Hagerstown and Washington Coun-
ty for the loyal patronage they have
received in their retail department
through the years.
Mr.. Schindel further stated that
their reasons for going entirely in
to the wholesale field were two
fold. In the first place, their whole
sale business has increased to such
an extent that it will demand the
full time of the organization, and
secondly, they feel that closing out
the retail department will be a fur

/ Hope They Rot

Marvin H. Walker, general man
ager of the Florida Citrus Commits
sion last week recommended an inn
mediate reduction in Florida orange
shipments, stating that they would
throw away the price benefits of the
California freeze if they supplied
the markets with too much fruit
right now.
If that isn't deliberately taking
action to keep high prices, then l
don't know what is. All l have to
say is that hope the refrigeration
system of the Florida Citrus Com
mission breaks down, and that every
case of oranges that they are hold
ing in storage, rots.
I appreciated very much letter
1 received recently from Mr.. Robert
Marteney and his two daughters,
Misses Roxanna and Mary A. Mar
teney, who reside in Polo Illinois, in
which they tell me that they enjoy
reading the Globe-Independent every
week, particularly the Horse and
Buggy Days" column.
Mr.. Marteney, who is now SO
years of age, was born in Washing
ton County and is the son of the late
Jacob Marteney, who for many years
kept the tollgate between Funks-
town and Beaver Greek. He has a
sister, Mrs. Frank Potts, who still
lives in Hagerstown.
l always enjoy receiving letters
from readers of the paper, and ]
wish more out-of-town subscribers
would drop me a line from time to
time telling me of their ties with
Washington County.
l am very glad to be able to re-
port that both Senator Mclaughlin
and the members of our County Dele
cation are refusing to be stampeded
into passing what I have termed
"class legislation" pertaining to
Sunday entertainment.
l have before me letter from
Senator Mclaughlin in which he
goes into this matter very thorough
ly, and in which he states that he
and the County Delegation intend
TO call joint public meeting on this
important subject before any legisla-
ton is prepared. Senator Nc
Laughlin states that the public meet
ing will probably be called in the
Court House next Monday afternoon
Senator Mclaughlin phoned me
from Annapolis on Tuesday, to tel
me that the public meeting on the
Sunday entertainment question will
definitely be held in the courthouse
on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock
The meeting will run for two hours
with each side being allowed one
hour in which to state their views
The Senator also informed me
that at joint meeting of the mem
bers of the Delegation and himself
it was decided to introduce the fol
lowing bills:
% At the request of the Wash
ington County Liquor Board, bill
to outlaw the serving of "set-ups'
between the hours of midnight and
500 a. m.

/ am wondering if Mayor Sweeney
made two radio addresses last Fri
day night at 6:45
The 'Daily Mail" in reporting
his address, which by the way was
paid for by the Ed Oswald-for-
Mayor committee, stated that the
Mayor, after explaining that he was
leaving office when his term ex-
pires in April, and that he had no
/ promises from anyone, then went
on to eulogize Edward Oswald, Jr.,
one of the Democratic candidates
for Mayor, and that he heartily en-
dorsed him and urged his hearers to
support him.
But to use the words of a radio
comic, "That amt the way l heard
/ it" In the radio address that ]
heard Mayor Sweeney make on Fri
day night, he spent the first IA min
utes and 80 seconds of his address
blasting the campaign statements of
as the Mayor put it, my friend Lee
Elgin" and my friend John Dunn
And it was not until the last &c
seconds of his allotted Is minutes
that His Honor, in hurried voice
because time was running out or
him, got in a few words in support
of the candidacy of Mr.. Oswald.
AS I've said before, I'm not taking
sides in this primary, but like tc
/ see things correctly stated.
Listening to Mr. Oswald's address
over the radio on Monday night,
pricked up my ears when Mr.. Os-
valid, speaking about the Police De
partment, said: although my men
ton of the matter may not meet
with favor by some of my associates
/ it should not be misconstrued" Wher
/ heard that | said to myself. Vel
here's one candidate who's going tC
bring out into the open the unfort
innate situation in the Police Depart
ment that was brought to a head {
couple of weeks ago when the Pc
Ice Commissioner went over the
head of the Chief of Police in stag
ing that so-called raid"
But such was not the case. Mr.
Oswald simply discussed the depart
ment in generalities and let it go a
that, winding up of course, as al
other candidates do, by promising tt
"do all possible to improve the eff
/ ficiency and morale of the force"
AS the primary campaign enters
into the last few days before the
election on Tuesday, things are
commencing to liven up quite bit
and favored with good weather, we
will probably have the biggest Phi
mary vote that has ever been cas-
in Hagerstown.

of the A.T.&T., of which the c & F

In 1947 the net earnings amounted
to STAB a share, while in 1948 ii
