The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1950-07-27

Sucn as Ine meat packers ana Ine
wholesale bakers, claim that the sud-
den rise in the price of meat and
bread respectively (bread right here
in Hagerstown has gone up a cent a
loaf is just coincidence, the De-
partment of Commerce has stated
fatty that there is no justification
for these increases. Then the hoard
ers (and there are far too many of
them right here in Hagerstown)
seem to take the attitude that they
are not going to go without any of
the things they want this time and
are not at all interested in who suf-
fers, just as long as they can get all
they can grab
While on the subject, wish to
congratulate some of our grocery
stores who are clamping down on
the hoarders whenever they catch
them, but unfortunately there are
others who are not that patriotic and
are just interested in getting every
dime of profit they can get while the
going is good.
My congratulations to Miss Kath-
crime Myers on the occasion Of her
25th anniversary with Bikes Shoe
Shop, which occurred last Friday.
Hagerstown and Washington
county suffers a real loss in the
transfer of Ben Pruzan, popular
manager of the Kay Jewelry Com
pany store here for the past six
years, who has been appointed man
ager of the Allentown, Pa, store,
effective August l.
When l heard the news, l told Ben
that he certainly would be missed,
if for no other reason than the fact
that he has always been real work
horse in every community enter
prise, and Ben's answer-'Maybe so
Doug, but don't forget that this is
wonderful community to work for"
proves my point.
Allentown's gain is our loss, Ben,
but we all hope that whenever the
opportunity presents itself, you will
come back to reminisce awhile with
your countless friends here, all of
whom, know, join with me in wish
ing you the best of everything, all
ways
In looking over the July issue of
the national bulletin Of the Little
League organization, l came across
the following story of a youngsters
courage:
When Bobby Mcdowell, of Wind
Der, Pa, was two years old, his left
leg was amputated just below the
knee. On June %, Bobby pitched
the Little League opening game of
the season for the Phillies in Wind
Der, striking out Is opponents and
getting two hits out of three times
at bat, including two-bagger which
drove in the winning run His team
was victorious 80 over the Yankees.
The only concession granted Bob
by is, that after collecting a hit he
is permitted to have courtesy rum
ner. Bobby covers first adequately
when the guardian of that sack is
pulled out to field a ball, but his
handicap is evident in speedy field
ing of hunts, He is showing constant
improvement in that department of
the game, however.
Here is one for the book.
When subscriptions expire send
out a notice and enclose with it a
reply paid envelop, SO that the sub
scriber can send in his or her two
dollars without having to bother to
address an envelop or even put a
postage stamp on it. On Tuesday
morning Massey Roe stepped into
my office and handed my secretary
the reply paid envelop, in which was
enclosed $1.96, explaining that since
. / didn't have to pay four cents for
the reply paid envelop he had de-
Quoted it from his subscription.
P.S.-Of course, it was just one of
those jokes Massey plays on me ev-
cry chance he gets, and he finally
came through with the other four
cents
One of the most interesting and
unique window displays that have
ever seen is now in the Hays, Inc.
window on West Washington Street.
The display consists of miniature
e-dimensional historical models,
arrestingly portraying the ancient
lineage of Merriam Webster Die
tionaries from the time that grand
mother was a girl' down to the
present.
There are nine dioramas that show
