Gen. Hershey Points
To Need Of Putting
Handicapped in Jobs

Mai. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
Selective Service director. warned
the Nation yesterday that I'VE
stand a chance of getting licked
before we get our paper work
completed"
Gen. Hershey, speaking at the
fnal session of the fifth biennial
convention of the American Fed
Grafton of the Physically Handi-
capped. in the Statler Hotel, said:
"We've got to drive home to users
Of manpower that there are not
$50 million available workers in
this country"
Eliminating children, house.
wives and those over so years of
age, we have only about half of
the last census figure available for
the labor force" he declared.
Gen. Hershey accused some mill
tary and industrial leaders of
using habits of thinking more
suited to normal times. instead OF
thinking in terms of the present
day.
False Methods Charged.
Survival of this Nation" he
said, might one day depend upon
extracting the last drop of sweat
from our citizens. We should make
use of the last bit to survive"
Gen. Hershey accused the armed
forces of using a false method of
selecting criteria in deciding
which workers can perform a par
ticular job.
I'VE should base the selection
on performance" he said. land
not observation. There are more
and more things that can be done
by the handicapped"
Gen. Hershey told the delegates,
many in wheelchairs, with braces
on their arms and legs. or sup
ported by canes, that now is the
time for them to make the Nation
realize how important the phys
ically handicapped can be.
IT'S like getting money out of
Congress-" he said. You will
have to stand up over and over
again and say. Put me here be-
fore you will be noticed"
Labor Department Backed.
Earlier in the day. Ralph
Wright, Assistant Secretary of
Labor, strongly urged that the vo-
cational training of physically
handicapped persons be handled
by the Labor Department and not
by the Federal Security Agency.
His remarks were echoed by
Paul A. Strachan, federation pres
ident, who said, "I am furthering
the Labor Department because it
is the logical place for the han
ding of employment Of physi-
cally handicapped persons"
Other speakers were Jennings
Randolph, an officer of the fed
Grafton and a former member of
Congress; Mrs. Marjorie Webster.
president of the Marjorie Webster
Junior College; Harold Near of

Life Of Farm Tractors
Increases so Per Cent

DETROIT-Statistics show that
most farm tractors are likely to
be used for about 20 years. A sur
vey reveals that of the wheel
tractors made in 1888 about 96
per cent still were working after
10 years. Of the machines sold
five years earlier, in 1888, only
about Is per cent had gone out OF
service in is years.
The average life of a tractor
has been increased about so per
cent since 1941. Rubber tires on
the later models reduce vibration,
and this will help give more years
of service.

ed mems minds with grave fore
bodings. Without a Senate there
could be no State Legislature, no
Governor, no Council, no appoint
ments of Justics of the Peace, Com
missioners, and all the other law en-
forcement officers. In some minds
there was danger of anarchy.
So two meetings were called. l
have referred to many of these pub
lie meetings, and undoubtedly they
have played their part in the form
ing of our history. One meeting,
made up mostly of Wing supporters,
called for the citizenry of Washing
ton County to assemble in front of
the Court House and take "appropri-
ate action" This action however
turned out to be another series of
resolutions and addresses.
At this Wing meeting, Jacob Sla-
gle presided. The prevailing senti-
ment here was of fear lest the in
terruption of Government leave an
opening for violence. In other words,
these were the conservatives, who
were for the issue at stake, but were
afraid of the methods being used by
the nineteen electors who refused
to attend their duties. Resolutions
were passed denouncing the Van
Buren, electors as Revolutionary"
and charging them with designs to
destroy the Government An adj
dress requesting action was signed
by the following: William Price, Eli
Beatty, D. Weisel, George l. Harry,
William D. Bell, Joseph Gabby, Ben
jamin Price, Abram Barnes, j. Dix
on Roman, Ohio Lawrence, D. c..
Yost, R. M. Tidball, John Reynolds,
Frederick Dorsey, Joseph l. Mer-
rick, and others.
At the Van Buren, party meeting,
over in the Town Hall, things were
of different tone. Here4was praise
for the two Washington County cleo
tors, Wason and Macgill. With Col.
William H. Fitzhugh presiding, they
passed resolutions commencing and
supporting their electors for their
patriotism in taking the decided
stand to secure reform"

ton was taken to render the walk
out of no effect. An order was is
sued by Governor Veazey which
made the old Senate the legal and
constitutional body until a new Sem

ate should be elected After this,
a few of the VanBuren electors be-
gan to soften, or else they saw that
nothing more could be accomplished,
SO they joined the Wings, and as soon
as there was a total of twenty-four,
a new Senate was named.
But it did not take this new SEN
ate long to pass the desired reform,
giving the people the right to elect
the Governor and other officers.

HORSE AND
BUGGY DAYS
by
Ida 10 Martin

Spring! The most wonderful
time of the year; even if it does
snow the first day. Time to hitch
Old Dobbin to the shay q wonder
how many Washington fountains
would know how to do that and go
for a little drive, back to the days
when there were no self-propelled
vehicles to brighten the horse, and
into a delightful CD realm seldom
visited in these columns-Politics.
Stopping off at the year 1885, we
find an interesting situation, involv-
ing our State and County, and one
that is typical of many of the points
of history that have indicated how
this Country grew into the Nation
she is today.
For many years prior to this date,
and election, many of the people of
Washington County, as well as 9TH
ers of the State, were dissatisfied
with the way the State Senators
were elected. Here was indeed an
interesting parallel to a present
day weakness in our Government.
The people of Maryland did not
choose their representatives for the
Senate, but instead, by popular cleo
ton, they chose forty electors, and
these electors chose the members of
the State Senate, but under several
strict rules as to their meeting and
acting.
The particular part of the law that
played such big part in the cleo
ton of that year, 1885, was the part
that required quorum of twenty
four, that is, there had to be twenty
four of the electors present before
any action could be taken.
Now here was another pertinent
point, and one that has always been
the instigator of reform; because of
the changing populations of the new
er Counties, the majority of the
people of Maryland were actually
represented by a minority Of the
electors In that year, the electors
from Washington County were Rob
ert Wason and Charles Macgill, of the
Van Buren, party. Public meetings
had been held, resolutions passed,
and there was much discussion fav-
oring a change which would permit
the people to elect the members of
the Senate directly, instead of
through the electors.
After the popular elections, it
turned out that there were twenty
one Wings and nineteen Van Buren,
electors. Neither party had enough
to make a quorum. So in light of
the expressed public sentiment of
the Western parts of the State, the
nineteen Van Buren, electors quick
ly met, and chose tactical course of
action. They presented to the Wing
electors the dictum that they, the
nineteen Van Buren, electors, would
not meet with the Wing electors
until they received the right to elect
one more than half of the members
of the Senate, since they represented
more than half the people.
OF course the Wings agreed to no
such thing. And as a result, the
twenty-one Wings met, and met, and
met, without enough present to dc
anything.
AS you can imagine, this course
of action, and its resulting block tc
the Governmental procedures, fill
