The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1950-02-09


by the United States Government,
right here in Hagerstown in open
storage, where they will become an
absolute dead loss should we be hit
with freezing weather-and this in
spite of the fact that there are many
people right here in Washington
County who need them badly.
1t makes me heartsick to think of
such waste, and that is one of the
reasons why 1 am so bitter against
the present administration.
I understand that Mayor Mills lin
his private capacity has contacted
the Secretary of Agriculture and Of
fered to buy the potatoes in order
that he might distribute them free
of charge amongst the needy of the
city and county. Here's hoping that
he is successful in his efforts before
they are frozen and have to be
dumped.
We are getting more and more
evidence of the high caliber of our
educators in Washington County
A couple of years ago DR.. James
W. Mileham, dean of the Hagers-
town Junior College, who at that
time was principal of the Hagers-
town High School, was selected by
the United States Government to
go to Korea on a special educational
mission. Then a couple of weeks
back Catherine Beachley was also
selected for an educational project
abroad
Now word comes that our super
intendent of schools, William NJ
British, has been named as Mary
lands representative on Michigan
State Colleges Flying Classroom"
to Europe this spring.
Mr.. British will be one of SO of the
top educators and teachers from
every state in the nation who will
leave New York March 20 by plane,
for a six-week study tour of II
European countries.
Hams 10 cents pound!
Loose roasted coffee 10 cents

Ham bologna 10 cents a pound
Mems hats $100 each!
Don't believe it - then turn to
Ida 10 Martins Horse and Buggy
Days" on Page and read it for
yourself.
There's nothing much to report
yet about the session of the legisla-
lures in Annapolis as right now it's
mainly case of jockeying for po-
sition.
understand, however, that an at
tempt by the administration to force
through the automobile inspection
bill without hearings has been sty-
mied, and that hearings will be held
on the bill in the near future.
wonder how many bids the Ma
yor and Council will get for the
auditing of the city books. My guess
is not more than one.
Personally I'm not in favor of ask
ing any certified public accountants
to bid on such an important job as
auditing the books of the city gov
eminent, and hope that the Mayor
and Council will finally decide to
appoint an auditing firm to do this
important work without requiring
fixed fee. l doubt if there is any
thing more important in the whole
set-up of city government than the
work of an auditor, and no certified
public accountant could possibly
figure in advance how long it would
take to do it.
My congratulations to Commission

stations WARK and WEI last night

ly hope that every mother and father
will take the warning of the COM
missioner to heart
There are a lot of crimes on the
statute book that are horrible to
think about, but nothing is more
brutal or sickening than a sexual at
tack on little child. God forbid it
should ever happen to anyone in this
community. Text of the talk will
will be found on page 4.
