 Nt,re's Boy Scout troop is sp"T- sored by the Rotary Club, and the troops is holding regular weekly n eetings each Thursday evening at the public school. Former Scoutmaster Wes Fults will serve on the troops committee this year, with two of the teachers taking over the active ~direction of the troop. Ed Hawkinson is Scout master, assisted by John Alm- cuisr. Last year about 25 Home hcys took part in the Boy SctL program, with considerable prog ress being reported by their lead CTS.
 in addition to the Cub Pack l,eeting, Force and Scout execu- tive Maurice Powers from Juneau attended the regular meeting of the Nome American Legion Post. The Legionnaires are considering re-activating the Explorer pro- gram for Nome boys IA, Is, and 16,, formerly active under spon- sorship of the Marks Base Officers Cub. Organization of an Explorer group in town would make the Nome fellows eligible for partici- ration in the annual air encamp- ments held alternately at Ladd and Elmendorf Air Force Bases. Legion committeeman will meet with former Scouts at the high school to determine their interests in the new unit.
 This years finance campaign will try to reacn Ill N. me worK- CTS through their place of em- p,oyment. It is the feeling, of the Boy Scout organization that the suppLrt of Scouting iE Alaska is everybody's business, ano not just the responsibility of store owners. Federal building employees and M.,,ks Base workers will also be contacted through the team organ ization, Harper said, and he urged all Nome citizens to be generous in their support of the Scout movement. "Our local leaders need assistance from the Boy Scouts of America in carrying out high grade program for Nome boys. We can only get this help through providing the funds that will make it possible for the Fair banks field executive to come to Some and assi't us. We alsn need his help in connection with our annual summer camp.
 I hope everybody in Nome will back Alaska's boys by making their contribution 70 ere of the volunteer solicitors tomorrow" |" ! Harper said.

Farmers Are Told

annual four-state Farmers Meeting,
held in Hagerstown on January 10,

mental stations for the University

a high consumer income.

from each of the participating
counties were elected as members of

New Career Open
In Field Of Therapy
Md. Occupational Therapy So
ciety Wants Trainee Applica-
tons For This Important Field.

The Maryland Occupational Their
apy Society is currently putting on
a recruitment drive for those inter
ested in taking up occupational
therapy as a career. Information
can be obtained by writing to Mrs
Marshall Price, chairman of the re-
cruitement committee, c/o Sheppard
Pratt Hospital, Baltimore, Md.
In an article by DR.. Howard A.
Rusk in the New York Times on
Sunday August l, 1949, he defined
Occupational Therapy as "an i'm
portant phase of medical treatment
using therapeutic medically pres
cribed activities such as woodwork
ing, plastics, metal work, printing
and ceramics. 1t may be prescribed
for specific restoration of muscle and
joint function, as in the case of frac-
lures, burns, amputationS and pa
ralysis; for the development of gen
eral physical strength and work
tolerance as in the case of tubercu-
losis, heart disease and other long
term Illnesses; for emotional read
justment and as diagnostic aid in
various mental disorders, and for
prevocational exploration in the
convalescent stage of all illnesses. u
Occupational therapy is being
practiced in Veterans Administra-
ton hospitals and also by the Pub
lie Health Service, and it is becom-
ing increasingly impossible to meet
the demands for qualified occupa-
tional thereapists. Throughout the
United States there are Is saccredit-
ed schools for occupational therapy,
career which offers professional
status, an outlet for creative ability
and imagination and a real sense of
personal satisfaction that comes from
service.
At the present time there are only
2,100 practicing occupational Their
apists in the nation, and an addi-
tional 5000 are badly needed in
public and private hospitals and in
crippled children's services. The
salaries being paid occupational
therapists ranges from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year.

Sgt. Jackie Snively
Talks About Japan
Gives Interesting Interview To
Air Forces Reporter In Tokyo.

Headquarters, Far East Air Forces,
Tokyo, Japan-Sergeant Jackie L.
Snively, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Donald
L. Snively, 101 Playground Ave, Ha-
gerstown, recently arrived in Tokyo,
Japan, to assume his new duties at
the Far East Air Forces Headquar-
tiers. Sergeant Snively first entered
military service in Sept, 1916 at Ha-
gerstown.
The sergeant works in a former
Japanese insurance company's eight
storied office building that faces the
ancient Imperial Palace Moat. The
building is two blocks from General
MacArthur's Headquarters Dai Ichi
number one) building. The FEAT
Hdqs. building is called the Meiji
Con the sea- building. From these
buildings Mt. Fuji, eighty air miles
away, can be seen on a clear day.
Interviewed by an Air Forces re-
porter, Sergeant Snively, talking
about the building, said: Inside the
building are Americans in winter
uniforms and civilian workers in
their everyday clothes and outside
are millions of Japanese waiting for
street cars or riding in charcoal
burning taxis Of ancient vintage, or
else walking. They wear dark XII
monos if they are old and bright
ones if they are young. The women
never wear hats and carry bright
silk umbrellas. The men usually
wear tacky-looking clothes in our
styles of about 1926.
Eve are billeted three blocks
away from our eight-storied office
building and our new Airmen's Club
is across from our billet. The club
has a $500 book library, a photo
hobby shop, athletic workout rooms
and an art studio, as well as a dining
room, a couples room, a lounge, and
a stag room. We are billeted near
the trains and buses, too," the ser
geant added.
"The folks back home don't realize
we are halfway around the world
from them, but we have the same
trees and flowers here they do at
home, Sergeant Snively went on to
say, and then ended the interview
with these words:
Il wish people at home could see
the countryside here. On a bright
sunny day in Japan the people roll
back their full length doors at the
side of their house facing the sur
and enjoy it. Usually there is c
garden on that side of the house too
They are simple and beautiful

Around Town Wit
The Editor

l get a real kick out of reading
of the attempts of the various Re-
publican political groups in Balti-
more to line up Mayor H. L, Mills
as a candidate for either Governor
or Senator next fall
Knowing the Mayor as l do, it's
perfectly obvious that they are
either trial balloons, or an attempt
to line up the Mayor with this fac
ton or that faction, because there
isn't any political group that's 60
ing to make up Mayor Mills mind
for him. He's going to do that him
self And unless l miss my guess
he will not make any definite state
ment regarding his political aspira
tions (if any,, either state or fed
eral, until we'll along in the summer,
since the Primaries are not until
September.
Last week l had further proof, if
any was needed, of both the eff
cheney and courtesy of our police de
partment.
Our janitress, after cleaning the
office, forgot to lock the door when
she left. Patrolman H. L. Whiting
ton not only locked the door for me,
but also left note on my desk tell
ing me what had happened, and as
sured me that he had thoroughly
checked the office to make sure that
everything was in order.
A simple thing, yes, but it is little
things like that, that make for an
efficient department.
It's good to see a real revival of
Scouting in Hagerstown and Wash
ington County, and when Scout Ex
ecutive B. j. Hagedorn leaves for
Washington at the end of the month,
he will carry with. him the happy
thought that he is leaving a Council
in which, largely due to his efforts
and those of his Field Executive,
Joseph H. Murray. Jr., Scouting is
on the upgrade again.
Last week a new troop was or
ganized under the sponsorship of
the Woodland Way School, and in a
very enthusiastic meeting some %
youngsters were lined up for the
troop. This week Troop 10 has been
reorganized, and last night an en-
thusiastic meeting was held in the
Presbyterian Church, when plans
were started for the building up of
Troop 5, one of the oldest troops in
Hagerstown.
When Mrs. Douglas, in her Home

If you happen to drop by the

but Mr.. Keller has reprinted Mrs.
