July 9 in the city which has the
largest home paid attendance as of
July l.
From all have been able to gath
er, the fine attendance at the stadium
on Saturday and Sunday has put the
Hagerstown Braves well up in the
running. 1t would be quite an hon
or for Hagerstown to have the ALL
Star game played here and if we
can get really good crowds for the
remainder of the home dates this
month we will have an excellent
chance of getting it.
The remaining home games are:
Wilmington here tonight; Salisbury
here Friday, Saturday and Sunday;
and Allentown here on Saturday,
June 80.
So let's really turn out for these
games. Gene Raney, owner of the
ball club, has done his part by
spending his money to get good
ball club together, and manager
Dutch" Dorman and every player
on the squad have done their part
by putting Hagerstown in the lead.
So now it is up to all of us, whether
we are regular baseball fans or not,
to do our part by making those turn
stiles click this month so that the big
game comes here.
Monday night at 7:30 p. m. in
the City Hall, Acts 5 and 6 of the
modern version of that thrilling
drama, 'To Be Or Not To Be-" will
be presented.
Act will take the form of pub
lie hearing on the North End zon-
ing question, but unfortunately, Act
6, which will follow Immediately
after the curtain falls on Act 5, will
be seen by only select few.
This sixth act will be an executive
session of the Mayor and Council,
which means that the public, as well
as the press and radio will be ex-
cluded. The plot for the sixth act is
in two parts-1. The re-repealing of
Section l of the zoning law, and 2.
The enactment of an ordinance zon-
ing the entire city.
AS to how many more acts will be
played, your guess is as good as
mine, but 1 still feel that the final
one will not be presented until late
this year or perhaps early in 1852.

Judge Evan Crossley, of the Ju-
venile Court, tells me that there is
a desperate need for foster homes in
the County, to take care of the chill
dren of broken homes.
Arrangements for foster homes
are, of course, made through the
County Welfare Department, but I
am informed that they have pitt
full backlog of children, whose fu-
ture lives may be ruined unless peo-
pie with a heart will come forward
and offer to take them in and raise
them, at least until Judge Crossley
can, perhaps, straighten out the par
ents so that they can be reunited
and care for the youngsters them
selves.
So, if you are willing to take one
or more of these tragic youngsters,
who, through no fault of their own,
are being deprived of a home and a
parents love and care, or if you
know of a family that will help,
won't you please get in touch i'm
mediately, either with the Welfare
Board, or Judge Crossley.
Congratulations to Senator O'Con-
or for his suggestion that every
convicted dope peddler be sentenced
to death.
Crime in any form is bad enough,
but when it's committed by men,
wonderland even children = who
are crazed with dope, it becomes
crime in its worse form and often
results in murder.
Due to the huge profits made by
these scums of the earth who peddle
dope, heavy fines, or even imprison-
ment, will not stop them, but if they
are put to death on conviction, it
would go long way towards stop
ring to her as Jean Andrews" in
many lives.
My apologies to Jean Adams, of
the advertising department of the
Potomac Edison Company, for refer
ring to her as Jean Andrews" in
our story couple of weeks back
concerning the honors won by the
department.
Sorry Jean, I'll see it doesn't hap
pen again.
