It's enough to make the good Saint
turn over in his grave.
Let's all take a little while off to-
morrow afternoon to attend noon
day Good Friday service at the
church of our choice.
There will be a three-hour serv-
ice at Christ's Evangelical and Re-
formed Church, West Franklin St,
near Prospect, from noon until 800
o'clock, in which seven ministers
from the downtown Protestant
churches will participate, and there
will also be a three-hour service,
during the same hours, at st. Mary's
Catholic Church, corner of Washing
ton and Prospect Streets.
Some of you, of course, will not
be able to attend for the full three
hours, but we can all attend one of
services, for a while at least.
If you haven't already seen the
Easter window at Letter Brothers, be
sure and stoy by to see it Git will re-
main through Easter Sunday.
1t presents a truly beautiful pic
ture and is "big time" window dress
ing in every sense of the word.

It's good to be able to report that
the Red Cross Drive went over the
top The successful drive keeps in
tact Washington County's remark
able record of never having failed to
go over the top in any worthwhile
COMMUNICATIVE undertaking.
Col. w. R. Apetz, Commander of
the Volunteers of America, who was
the principal speaker at the dinner
meeting at the Hotel Alexander on
Monday night, which highlighted the
four-day meeting of the Central
Area Council, in a forceful address,
summarized the philosophy of the
organization as being conferred
around making material possessions
the servant of man for the good of
mankind.
The meeting was presided over by
]. w. Clapp, chairman of the Advis-
DRY Board of the Hagerstown Post,
who spoke in glowing terms of the
work being done by the Volunteers
in Washington County, which fills a
long-felt want in the community
Congratulations to Noel Spence

land" for the Legislative session of

time that a Hagerstown young man

ers, another Hagerstonian, who was

And talking about the State Leg
islature, did you know that our six
Delegates have never officially or
gained?
One of the first things a county
delegation does, after being elected,
is to meet together and appoint
chairman. Four years ago, when
our delegation was split three, three,
as it is this year, the delegates met
and appointed Howard Ankeney,
Democrat, as chairman. This year,
with a Republican governor, you
might have expected the three DEM
ocrat delegates to return the COM
pliment and name one of the three
Republican delegates as chairman,
but such was not the case.
From what can learn, it appears
that the Washington County Demo-
cratic Central Committee wanted
Myron Bloom named chairman, but
the other delegates couldn't get to-
gether on it and, as result, they
are operating on practically an in
dependent basis, with bills by first
this delegate, and then that one, be-
ing dropped into the hopper, willy,
nilly, with the voters of Washington
County, who elected them, pretty
much in the dark as to what is going,
on.
Here are two striking examples:
Delegate Kaylor has introduced a
bill that will require County Com
missioners to be nominated and
elected by Districts. While it is true
that Mr.. Kaylor announced he want
ed opinions on such bill from the
voters of the county, the details of
the bill have never been made public
and the voters are in the dark re-
garding the fixing of the districts and
other details of the bill.
