The work of such organizations as
the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts,

the agencies that it might be we'll to
tell you a little about.
Back in the days of World War II
we were all familiar with the won
derful job the USO did in taking
care of our men and women in uni
form, and now that some of our boys
are being called back to serve their
country in Korea, those responsible
for the USO were quick to offer their
services again.
All of us who visited camps in the
last war know what wonderful Job
the USO did, and~we are all glad
that they are again doing their share
in making camp life little happier

Are you one of the millions of
self-employed people newly covered

insurance? If you are, you need a
social security account-number card,
according to w. S. King, manager

"Self-employed people who were
brought under the Social Security
Act by last years changes in the law
will report their net income from
self-employment at the same time
they make their Federal income tax

At that time, they will enter their
social security numbers on the tax

The Ballroom of the Alexander
was beautifully decorated with
palms, ferns, autumn flowers and
attractive replicas of the Pangborn
trademark. An eighteen-foot. Pang-
born Quarter Century Club banner
was displayed behind the speakers
table. The size of the gathering
necessitated using both the Ballroom
and the Potomac Room. The latter,
which was decorated similar to the
Ballroom, was occupied by the ten
and-eleven-year employees. A loud
speaker carried the program and
music to employees assigned to this
room.
Immediately following the dinner
there was group singing of special
Pangborn adaptations of familiar
songs, which were prepared for the
occasion by Vice-President P. J.
Potter.
A number of employees arrived
from the various Pangborn offices
throughout the country to attend the
testimonial dinner. Out-of-town

Boys Club is divided into two di-
visions, one for white boys and one
for colored boys. Each division has
its own supervisor, and each division
has its own meeting place. This
summer the board of directors was
able to send a group of boys to the
Elks Club camp at Camp Richie,
and also a group of colored boys to
colored Y.MC.A. camp just out
side of Alexandria, Va. The boys
also enjoy a night of swimming each
week, and in their club rooms they

Plans are moving along rapidly
for the annual Washington County
Community Chest Drive, which gets
underway on Friday, November 8,
and extends through Friday, Novem-
Der 16. The goal this year is $122,-
$1,000.
Odello M. Letter, campaign gen
eral chairman, and his co-chairman
and committee heads, are holding
daily meetings in order to perfect
the arrangements so that, when the
gun goes off at the kickoff dinner
on November 9, everybody will be
ready to move full steam ahead.
With everybody pulling together,
Hagerstown and Washington Coun-
ty will again keep their record in
tact, of never having failed to go

that is supported by the Community
Chest-Santa Claus, Inc.-this is an
other organization headed by volun-
teer workers, who go out and collect
toys for distribution to the under
privileged children of the commun-
ity, repair those that need repairing
and then arrange for their delivery
to the youngsters Christmas Day.
So you see that the work of the
Community Chest is wide and vari-
ed, and most important to you who
give to support it is the knowledge
that every dollar that you contribute
is put to a really worthwhile use.
In closing, it would be as well to
mention that the budget committee
of the Hagerstown Community
Chest, which consists of volunteer
men who give hours of their time to
scrutinize the budgets sent in by the
various agencies, do a remarkable
job. While this budget committee
in no way attempts to tell any agen-
cy how to run its organization, they
see to it that each agency's budget
is properly proportional and kept
within balance So when the cam
paign starts and you are asked to
contribute, you can do so with full
knowledge that none of the money
is wasted and that every dime of it
is going to one or other of the twelve
organizations, every one of which is
worthy of support, well managed
and economically conducted.
