want to miss the second of the series
of monthly talks by Winslow F. Bur
hans, president of the Board of
County Commissioners, on wash
ington County Reports" which he
will give over radio station WEI on
Tuesday evening at 7:15, and also
over WARK on Wednesday after
noon at 4:30
Designed to keep citizens of the
county up-to-date on their county
government, the first in the series of
talks, given last month, received
very favorable comment and since
there has been quite few import
ant developments since then, 1 am
sure that next weeks talk will be
just as interesting and informative.
So make a note right now to tune in
either WEI at Ills Tuesday eve
ming, or Wark on Wednesday after
noon at 4:30
And speaking of the Board of
County Commissioners, the members
decided, at their meeting on Tues
day, to make a thorough inspection
of all the county roads (Which will
probably be held today or tomor-
row., in order to find out for them
selves just how much damage has
been caused to the roads during the
recent heavy storms.
1t was my pleasure to be guest
at the February meeting of the Zonta
Club, held in the Womens Club on
Tuesday evening, when Max Fuller
ton, chief of the Associated Press
Bureau for West Virginia and Mary
land, was the guest speaker. Miss
Madeline Dermody is the president
of the club and the program was ar
ranged by Mrs. c. Neill Baylor. This
was my first visit to the club and l
must say, in all frankness, that was
not only surprised at the fine at
tendance, but also at the type of
program that was presented.
The first thing that impressed me
was the reading of the collect and
the clubs Creed before we sat down
to dinner, and the Greed, particu-
larly, l thought was one that we all
might follow in these trying times.
q would like to see it published in
full for all to read
When you think of a woman's or
ganization, somehow or other you
associate its meetings with matters
affecting women, but in talking to
some of the members, find l am
very much mistaken, as their pro-
grams take in a variety of subjects,
with few of them being confined to
affairs of the female sex.
Mr.. Fullerton's talk, after a brief
review of the value of newspaper
to the community, was conferred
around the present chaotic condi-
tions in the world.
He pointed out that the six ques-
tons in the minds of most people
today-both men and women-are:
will United Nation Troops cross
the 38th parallel AGAIN.; 2-how far
will the United States go in sending
troops to Europe?; 3-Will a shooting
World War start this year? will
the conflicting elements in Wash
ington ever get together? 5-where
and when will wages and prices
level off? and 6-what is Stain up
to now?
After giving his own views on
these six important questions, the
speaker stated that the answers to
all of them can be fairly well ar
rived at by careful reading of your
newspaper every day.
My congratulations to Evan Cross
ley, on being nominated for appoint
ment by Governor McKeldin as
Juvenile Court magistrate for Ha-
gerstown; to Martin Ingram and Jack
Berkson on their nomination for Ha-
gerstown magistrates; to Jesse Shank
who has been nominated for magis-
trate for Williamsport; Austin Bike
who has been nominated for magiS-
trate in the Smithsburg -Boonsboro
section; and to Edward Fost, NOM
mated for the same job at Hancock
These nominations, together with
several others, are scheduled to be
presented by the Governor to the
State Senate today and I have no
doubt that they will all be confirmed.
/ was particularly pleased to find
that the Republican Central Com
mittee had recognized some of our
younger Republicans who, through
the Young Republican Club here,
have been doing such a fine job.
