Federal Road Funds
Will Be Curtailed

The Board of County Commits
sioners have been officially advised
by the Maryland State Roads Com
mission that on July 81 the President
of the United States issued a direc-
tive to the Department of Commerce
which stated that, effective August
l, Federal-Aid funds for road build
ing will be restricted to roads that
are designated as necessary for mill
tary purposes.
The Roads Commission also stated
that the Board of County Commits
sioners' contemplated improvement,
with Federal-Aid Secondary funds,
of the Williamsport-Clear Spring
road, will not meet the requirements
of the Presidents directive and that,
therefore, Federal funds will not be
available for this project. The
chairman of the County Commits
sioners stated, however, that FEEDER
al funds for the Northern Avenue
road will be paid, since this project
will have been completed prior to
the August l deadline.

A special meeting of the Mayor
and Council was held on Monday
night at which, in addition to the
regular routine matters, the follow
ing business was transacted:
Members of the board of directors
of the Rose Hill Cemetery Company
appeared before the council in con-
nection with the laying Of sidewalks
along side the cemetery on South
Potomac Street and East Howard
Street.
This matter has been shuff1ed back
and forth for over year, but at the
meeting, after a discussion that last
ed for nearly an hour, the matter
was finally settled when a compro-
mise was reached whereby the Gem
etery company agreed to contribute
$1,000 towards the cost and the city
agreed to pay the balance. 1t is
expected that the entire project will
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000
The council also awarded con-
tract to c. William Hetzer to build
Midway Road from Brookline Az
enue to the city line and Fridinger
Avenue from Jefferson Street to Sc
curity Road. The Hetzer bid, $14,-
491, was the lowest received.
The council then approved the
recommendation of their committee
on street signs and as a result, Ha-
gerstown will soon start to have
decent street signs for all it's streets,
instead of the illegible and often
broken signs now in use.
The final action of the council at
the open meeting was the authorize
ton of the purchase by the board
of public works of a $4,000 power
shovel and a $4,000 compressor unit
for the use of the street department.
The purchase of this equipment was
urged by City Engineer Charles
Steinbach, who stated that its pur-
chase would enable the city to do
more of its own construction work
instead of, as at present, having to
get most of it done under contract.
Following the open meeting the
Mayor and Council went into execu-
tive session the results of which
were not announced.

town High School auditorium, in the

zens eagerly await the arrival of the
scarlet and blue and gold-clad bands
men.
The Marines are coming! 'The
Presidents Own" Band will be here
to give two concerts of soul-stirring
entertainment. That Emusic is the
language of the SOUP has been fully
demonstrated by the, Marine Band,
which reaches down into the hearts
and souls of its audiences. The ia
nous Band, which has played such
an important role in wartime and
peace, will sound its horns and Gym
balls here! It will play the music of
the masters; it will make the air ring
with its new arrangements of popu-
lar numbers; it will play Sousa's i'm
mortal marches and will easily con-
vert from the best in music to the
lighter melodies or vice versa.
Music is the language of the soul.
1t is understood by the meek and
the mighty. It is medium for great
rejoicing and a comfort in time of
grief. The Marine Band symbolizes
the best in music, but renders pop
ular airs that delight young Ameri-
cans and grown-ups alike.
The leader of the Band is Major
William F. Santelmann, who has
welded the baton since April of
1910.
Rex D. Gaver, president of the
Band Parents Club, and E. P. Maug-
ans, general chairman of the COM
mittee in charge of the two concerts
on September II, have announced
that the afternoon concert will be
held at 800 o'clock and the evening
concert at $3.50. Admission to the
concerts will be rs cents for children
up to fourteen and $3.50 for adults,
the tax being included in both prices.
They also announced that the net
proceeds of the two concerts will go
to further the work of the bands of
the Hagerstown High Schools.

Rv II. S. Douglas

In an exclusive long distance tele-
phone interview with General D.
John Marley regarding his candi-
dacy for the United States Senate
subject to the Republican primary
on September IS, he assured me that
there is no truth whatsoever in the
rumor that he might withdraw from
the race, and that he is definitely in
there until the last vote is counted.
In enlarging on the subject, General
Markey made the following state
ment:
81 changed from the gubernatorial
race under the pressure of ma
tional crisis, as it was made clear to
me that 1 had the proven voting
strength to defeat Senator Tydings.
Senator Tydings' defeat is rated
one of the top detectives of the Re
publican party nationally He has
conducted himself in a manner that
has angered the electorate of Mary
land, both by his whitewash of COM
munist influences in the State De
partment and his failure, as chair
man of the Armed Services Com
mittee of the Senate, to have the
country prepared for such eventual
tiles as developed in Korea"

Teach All Children
How To Walk Safely
Commissioner OF Motor We
hicles Urges Parents To Coop
crate In Interest OF Traffic
Safety.

Arthur H. Brice, commissioner of
motor vehicles, urges parents who
have children who will begin school
this fall to start now teaching them
safe walking habits. The commits
sioner points out that going to school
is the first experience many children
have of crossing streets alone, and
he suggests the following plan of
training children in traffic safety:
AS soon as your child is able to
walk and accompany you in cross
ing streets you should emphasize
your own safe walking habits, ex-
planning the procedure of watching
for cars, crossing at corners, obeying
traffic signals and so forth as he be-
comes old enough to understand.
However, if this training has been
overlooked until your child is almost
ready to enter school, concentrated
training in safe walking habits
should be conducted during the
weeks preceding his entrance into
school.
Before the school year begins
work out the safest route to and
from the school considering the
streets on which there is the lightest
traffic, the corners which are pro-
tected by police officers or school
safety patrols on duty, and other
factors. When school begins ac-
company your child along this SAT-
est route to school explaining how
to cross at each intersection.
When he seems to know the route
and safe walking habits, allow him
to lead you on the route to and from
school After he has learned the way
thoroughly he is ready to go to and
from school, equipped with safety
habits for his own protection.
