Around Town With
The Editor

am always interested in follow
ing the boys who were members of
Troop 5, of which l was Scoutmaster
for sometime, SO I was particularly
glad to hear that Morton Weston, Jr.,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. o. Morton Wes-
ton, 1905 Potomac Avenue, had won
one of the University of Maryland's
top awards, the Mems Citizenship
Award, sponsored by H. C. Byrd,
president of the University.
Morton was an Eagle Scout in my
Troop, and in addition to that he
earned more merit badges than any
boy I have ever been associated with
in Scouting. When he entered the
University of Maryland, he carried
his Scouting enthusiasm with him
and helped found the Alpha Phi
Omega Society, an honorary Boy
Scout organization for college stu
dents.
Another member of Troop 5, Hen
ry W. A. Henson, III, will graduate
from Culver Military Academy in
Culver, Ind, on June 8.
Henry, during his three years at
the school, has been a member of
the varsity cross country, golf and
crew teams, and also was a member
of the rifle, football and track teams
of his company. He was honored by
the school by being made member
of the Honor Guard, a select pre-
cision drill team of the schools in
fantry cadet corps.
l understand that the Mayor and
Council are considering supplying
steam to heat the Washington Coun-
ty Hospital from the Municipal Light
Plant, and l think it is fine idea.
I hope, however, that this will be
one project where the city will sup
ply heat to our hospital at actual
cost and not attempt to make any
profit out of it. After all, the new
building, which is badly needed, is
being paid for by the the people of
Hagerstown and Washington County,
and the operating cost will come
largely from the patients.
Under these circumstances I feel
sure that the Council and the Board
of Public Works, through whom
presume the contract for providing
steam to the hospital will be nego-
tiated, will put it through on nom
profit basis.
And now, since this is being writ
ten on the Memorial Day Holiday,
and my secretary as well as myself
are entitled to a few hours rest,
that will be all until next week

denberg, United States Air Force Chief of Staff.
 The change in organization is de- signed to increase the flexibility and state of readiness of Air National Guard units and provide for their ready integration into the United States Air Force.
 At present the Air Guard units are organized along the lines of World War II structure in which two or three tactical groups were assigned to a single wing. Under this organization the tactical groups and service elements were under sep arate commanders.
 The "Wing-Base' organization now in force throughout the Air Force provides for the assignment of single tactical group to a wing headquarters along with various supporting medical, service, trans portation and base operating ele- ments joined in single autonomous unit.
 Thus, a single wing embraces all elements required to both service a combat group and to operate the base from which the wing operates. This structure provides for greater maneuverability of units.
 Under the present organization there are twelve National Guard wings, twenty-seven tactical groups and eighty-four tactical squadrons
 These units will be reorganized to provide for twenty-seven combat wings, each with a single combat group. There will be eighty-four combat squadrons in these groups Normally there are three squadrons in each group.
 Because most of the squadrons of the various Air National Guard wings operate from bases other than those where the wing headquarters are located, certain support elements such as maintenance, supply, and motor vehicle communication ele- ments will be stationed with each squadron to provide for sustained separate squadron operation.
