Members of the Hagerstown XII
wants Club, at their regular lunch
con meeting held at the Hotel
Alexander on Thursday, were
brought up-to-date on the civilian
defense plans for Washington Coun-
ty. The program was arranged by
the classification and membership
committee, of which Arley o. Sica
is chairman. The president of the
club, Walter NJ. Daniels, presided
and the guest speaker was C. L.
Jim" Mobley, director of civilian
defense for Washington County.
During his talk Mr. Mobley ex-
planned that, with the exception OF
the Ground Observers Corps, which
is under the jurisdiction of the U. S.
Army Air Corps, the program, as
far as Washington County is con-
cerned, is still in the planning stage
Outlining the planned program, he
emphasized that one of the most
important parts of civilian defense
is the ability of individual citizens
to be able to help themselves in the
event of attack, and in connection
with this he pointed out that many
of the deaths and serious injuries
that followed the Hiroshima ga
bomb attack could have been avoid.

Museum Story Hour
To Show Two Films

The Washington County Museum
of Fine Arts has, hanging at either
end of the Entrance Court, two tap
estries. Many children coming in
to the Museum ask how are chose
rugs" made? This question will be
answered by one of the films to be
shown at the regular Story Hour on
Saturday morning, "Aubusson Tap
estrieS."
Two films, correlated to the sub
ject, Europe and the Orient" will
be featured on this date: "Aubus-
son Tapestries" and Journey to
Provence" representing France. The
tapestry film deals with the way of
weaving the hangings in a very
famous French factory at Ausbus-
son which has been in existence for
hundreds of years and which be-
came a royal factory under Louis
XIV. The second film, "a Journey
to Provence" shows the best pre-
served walled city of medieval
time, and from which the Crusades
originated. 1t also pictures, for the
first time, the pilgrimage of gypsies
to Southern France to pay homage
to their patron Saint
The films will be followed by the
usual period of painting, modelling,
and drawing, offered for the enjoy
ment of the children.
Boys and girls of Hagerstown and
Washington County are cordially
invited to come to the local Art
Museum in the City Hall Saturday

Around Town Wit. 81
The Editor

Here are two sixty-four-dollar
questions:
l. How could 1900 people (as the
Union claims) get into the Mary
land Theater, when the seating ca
pacity is 1927?
2. But if, by some Mandrake"
wizardry, 1900 people were present,
why isn't the Maryland Theater
management being prosecuted for
fragrant violation of the Fire Code?
The Fairchild workers are now in
the 30th day of their strike-or per-
haps should say that the UAW-CIO
Union is now in the 30th day of its
strike against the Fairchild Aircraft
Division.
l make the latter statement adj
visedly, because there just isn't any
denying that the strike has gone far
beyond local employees strike and
is now a top level strike-not for
increased wages, but solely for the
purpose of forcing the Fairchild Air
craft division to wipe out the COM
pany's Merit system and replace it
with a progressive wage increase
system
1t is true that, according to the
Union, 2,144 workers voted" to con-
tinue the strike until the Merit Sys-
tenn is abolished, but the so-called
ballot that was handed the workers
was, in my opinion, no ballot at all.
The democratic American ballot
gives the voter an opportunity to
vote Eyes" or mo" separately on each
question in the ballot, and since
there were four separate questions
on the Unions ballot, the workers
should have been given the oppor-
tunity to vote separately on each
question. Instead of this, the four
questions were Jumped together,
forcing the workers to vote Eyes" or
mo" on all four of them at once,
since there were only two boxes on
the whole ballot one Eyes" and one
''no"-and they were at the bottom
of the ballot.
1t is my belief that if the workers
were permitted to vote on one simple
question-are you willing to accept
the Is cents an hour increase of
fered by the company and have your
Union representatives settle the
Merit System question by arbitra-
ton after you return to work-the
vote would be overwhelmingly
Eyes"
l have been informed by all five
members of the City Council that
the reason the city employees have
not.yet received the retroactive wage
increases voted by the Council last
year, is because the city auditor has
not yet completed the 1850 financial
report of the city's operating budget.
The retroactive increases, dating
back to July 1, 1850, if possible, are
contingent upon the necessary funds
being available from the 1850 oper-
ating budget. The members of the
Council stated that the report for
the first nine months of 1850 indicat-
ed that the funds would be available,
but final action cannot be taken until
the full years report is received
from the auditor.

Two Bills 10 Continue
Nearby Bus Service
Offered in Annapolis

Two bills designed to block the
Capital Transit Co. proposal to
discontinue eight buslines in near
by Maryland were introduced in
the Senate at Annapolis yester-
day.
CrystalliZing protests which rose
in the wake of the transit COM
pany's announcement, the bills
were introduced as emergency
measures. The emergency clause
means that if passed and signed
by Gov. McKeldin, the acts would
become effective at once.
Objections of discontinuance of
the lines were so strong that
the Public Service Commission
changed its plans to hold hearings
in Baltimore and announced that
objections will be aired at 10 am.
next Wednesday at the Silver
Spring Armory.
One bill, said to have the back
ing of the commission, would au-
thorize that agency to require
continuance of service after fran
chiseS have expired until it
determined whether public con-
venience or necessity permits
abandonment.
1t also would provide that serv-
ice could not be cut off without
the commissions consent. regard
less of franchise expirations.
The second proposal, presented
by Philip H. Dorsey, peoples
counsel to the commission, would
give the PSC power to deny car
riers the right to reduce service
on parts Of its system on the plea
OF insufficient returns if, after
hearings, the commission rules
that operation of the entire sys-
tenn shows a profit.
Capital Transit has CHALLENGED
the commissions authority to in
tervene in plans to drop the eight
lines. Its action presaged a court
fight should the commission rule
that service must be continued
after March 81.
In its dismissal motion, Capital
Transit questioned the commits
sion's right to hold the hearing
and to order continuation of serv-
ice on the eight lines pending a
decision.
The Allied Civic Group of Silver
Spring last night "strenuously"
opposed abandonment of any
Montgomery County bus lines.
Failure Of the Capital Transit
Co. to maintain fully all its lines
in the area" should lead to can-
collation. of the firms franchise
by the Public Service Commission,
the organization declared. Tt also
urged the PSC to grant said
franchise to whatever company or
companies can provide adequate
service"
