partment of Health, with the can
Ger clinic paying part of the salaries
of the nurses. This means that every
cancer patient has been visited at
least twice by nurses of the clinic.
Clinics are held once a month and
ever since it was opened an average
of 10 patients have been examined
each month.
In connection with the work of the
clinic, it is interesting to note that
Mrs. Edward Whyte has served as
the volunteer clinic registrar ever
since the clinic was opened in 1947.
This is truly remarkable record,

This clinic, which is supported en-

There is absolutely no charge for

gives, in addition to a thorough

Around town this week, all that is
being talked about is the Hagerstown
Braves. So let's forget politics, park
ing problems, communism and cold
wars and talk about baseball.
Although when this was written
(Tuesday afternoon) the opening
game of the season had not been
played, the Braves had already brok-
en- some Hagerstown records.
To begin with, when the team ar
rived home on Friday evening, they
were welcomed at the ball park by
crowd of over fifteen hundred peo-
pie who made the stadium ring with
their applause as the players, the
owner, general manager and field
manager were introduced
Then on Saturday night, at an ex-
hibition game played in weather that
called for overcoats and blankets,
over a thousand people paid their
way into the ball park to see the
game, and that is the largest Satur-
day night crowd that has seen a ball
game at the stadium for the last two
years.
In addition to these manifestations
of enthusiasm of the fans over the
new ball club and the new owner
ship, the board of directors of the
Chamber of Commerce gave a spe-
cial luncheon for Gene Raney, Rufus
Edwards and Dutch Dorman on
Monday, in which the president OF
the Chamber, Arley Sica, welcomed
the Hagerstown Braves as Hagers-
towns newest industry" an industry
which, on behalf of the Chamber OF
Commerce, he assured Gene would
like every other home enterprise, gel
the solid support of the people.
These same sentiments were echo
ed when Gene, Rufus and Dutch
were the special guests of the Elks
Club Bowling League at their annual
banquet on Monday night and re-
echoed at the regular luncheon meet
ing of the Lions Club on Tuesday
when practically the entire mem
bership of the Club turned out to dc
honor to the Braves.
In connection with the Lions Clut
luncheon, it should be noted that
the team acquired new player
when tail twister" Henneberger
strutted his stuff in Dorman's ''No
2" uniform.
If further evidence is wanted that
a tremendous interest is being shown
in the new club, it was found on the
front sports page of Tuesdays Bal
timore Sun when, for the first time
in the history of the Interstate
League, the Sun had an eight-column
banner headline announcing the
opening game at Hagerstown Tues
day night.
This tremendous interest shown by
the people of Hagerstown and Wash
ington County in the Hagerstown
Braves is a simple manifestation OF
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1950-04-27

and the people Of Hagerstown and
Washington County certainly should
be proud Of Mrs. Whyte, who so
unselfshly devotes her time and eff
fort in the interest of this great work.
The Washington County Health
Department, of which DR.. Perry F.
Prather is administrator, cooperates
100 per cent with the clinic, and
Mrs. Edna Schroeder, supervisory
nurse of the Health Department, has
also lent invaluable service as has
Mrs. Isabel Hull, who has had charge
of the nursing service in the clinic
for the past three years. Credit
should also be given to a volunteer
ladies committee of local cancer
chapter, who regularly make the
dressings donated by the clinic to
the cancer patients.
So, if you have not already
made your donation to the Cancer
Fund Drive, won't you drop in right
away at the headquarters in the
McCroy Store on West Washington
Street and leave your contribution,
so that the cancer clinic, and the
other projects sponsored by the So
ciety, may continue to function 100
per cent.

the love of people for a man, or
group of men, who are willing to
spend their money, time and efforts
to give the people the best there is,
whether it be in sports, business or
government, and / can say in all
sincerity that Gene Raney is just that
type of man. He has been a personal
friend of mine during the nine years
that l have been in Hagerstown, and
/ have never known him to have
anything else but true appreciation
for what the people of Hagerstown

for him during the twenty odd years
that he has been doing business in

1t is fine thing to have this great
enthusiasm for our new ball club,
and my only hope is that we can
keep that enthusiasm UP throughout
the entire season, getting behind our
ball club 100 per cent whether they
win or lose. Simply asking that
