OIf Times Discussed

Alaskans and Cregonians alike were impressed by MT. Roden's talk as he told of the Alaska he found when he came north s years ago.
 There was no Ketchikan, no Cordova, no Seward or Valdez or Anchorage, Fairbanks or Nome B years ago.
 "The golden north is not like the golden west" MT. Rodcn said. "The golden north is bound by the Arctic Ocean and it would probably be expecting too much to hope that the golden north advance as fast as the golden west"
 Then he told of the many ad- vances in the territory since he came to Alaska in 1898.
 There were few towns in Alaska.
 "The tent settlements of Skag- way and Dyea were only stopping places on the way to the Klondike.
 "There was no manner of com- munication between towns. Trap pers had no way of learning the price of furs. Now they turn on the radio and know the price of mink or beaver as quickly as in New York.
 Even though gold mining is in the doldrums, mining, including gold, produced between II and 15 million dollars last year.
 NO coal was produced in Alaska 53 years ago. Last year over 0o,ooo Galley , Portland Alaska HI tons of coal was produced and every ton of it used in Alaska.
 Lumber production was nil 53 years ago. The lumber turn over in Alaska last year amounted to 5ia million dollars.
 "Canneries were not many when came to Alaska. Last year between TO and 80 million fish were process ed in the territory.
 There were no cold storage plants then and now we have them throughout Alaska" and he named two in Ketchikan. plants in Wran- gell, Juneau, Pelican, Sitka, Kodiak, Shumagin and Anchorage.

Alaska committee of the Portland -hamber of Commerce introduced all of the Portland tour members.
 Speakers for the Juneau Chamber ,f Commerce introduced by MT. Rowland were Joe Mclean, whom he presented as representative of the younger people in Alaska. and Henry Roden, Territorial Treasur- ar. who spoke for the "old-timers."
 Business is hampered by the territorial status of Alaska" MT. Mclean told his audience. "A ter ritorial status is supposed to be temporary, but how temporary" he asked.
 Tt will require people with dar- ing and self-reliance, people like the people who pioneered Oregon, to develop Alaska.
 We can't develop Alaska with he present impediments of terri torial status" he said
 when real incentives are estab- lished, we will have industry in Alaska.
 We must depend TOW on the AS states. Let them give us statehood, then let them throw out some of the socialistic restrictions that are hampering the country Mclean tropd

Chamber Banquet
Held Tuesday Night
$50 Members And Guests Hear
Inspiring Address By Editor Of
General Electric Review"

Editors Note: The text of Mr.
Lees address, which we believe that
everyone should read, will be print
ed in full in next weeks issue.
The thirty-frst annual banquet of
the Hagerstown Chamber of Com
merce was held in the ballroom of
the Hotel Alexander on Tuesday
night, with $50 members and guests
present. Arley o. Sica, the retiring
president, was in the chair.
Following the banquet, president
Sica welcomed the assembled gath
ering and introduced the honor
guests at the hear table and then, in
few well-chosen words, touched
on the highlights of his year in Of
fee, the full details of which were
in his annual report, printed in the
program.
Mr.. Sica then introduced the in
coming president, J. V. Jamison 3rd,
who pledged himself to do his utmost
to serve the Chamber and the COM
munity that it serves, and called
upon the entire membership for help
during the troublesome times that
lie ahead.
The guest speaker, Everett S.
Lee, editor of General Electric Re-
view," who was introduced by R.
Paul Smith, spoke on Americas
Place in The New World" during
which he traced the history of the
nations development, sharply TO-
cusing those incidents in the life of
our country that laid the foundations
of our leadership in the world today
During his address he brought out,
also, the natural differences in the
thinking of different nations-differ-
ences he said, that the United States
must respect if we are eventually to
have a lasting and just peace.
The incoming officers of the Cham
Der are, in addition to president
Jamison: Odello M. Letter, first vice
president; Herman L. Stockslager
second vice-president; E. P. Bachtell
treasurer; and James w. Stone
manager.

IBM Honors Two
Local Statesmen

c. J. Whitman and c. L. Segersten
local sales representatives of Inter
national Business Machines Corpora
lions, were honored on Tuesday for
their outstanding sales performances
during 1880
The men were given certificates OF
membership in the company's honor
organization, the 1850 Hundred Per
cent Club, and were also presented
with electric mantel clocks by c. j
Lawson, assistant general sales
manager of IBM.
The presentations were made al
a dinner at Hotel Alexander, attend
ed by the local IBM force. A special
medal for five-year membership in
the club was also given Mr.. Whitman
who is vice-president of the Ma
tional Club, and who was leader in
the U. S. last year in sales of the
company's time recording equipment
Similar meetings are being held in
1870 cities where IBM has branch of
fees. Because of the national emer-
gency, the meetings are substituted
for the clubs annual meeting in En-
dicott, N. Y, where more than LOCO
persons usually attend three-day
convention.

even write their own names.
When child labor laws raised the
age for employment Of children, the
speaker continued, the unfortunate
part was that few Of those young
sters who were too young to con-
tinue working were sent to school,
but were just turned loose on the
streets. Today, however, children
not only attend school regularly, but
even those who are backward and
do not respond normally are given
special attention to find the causes
of their inability to advance.
In concluding his address, DR..
Spitznas emphasized that today the
schools do not teach an academic or
theoretical form of learning, but
rather the meaning of the funda-
mental tools of learning, so that the
students can use these fundamental
tools to their advantage, even after
their school days are over.

Deadline For Auto
Plates Extended

Thomas B. R. Mudd, State Com
missioner of Motor Vehicles, has an
nounced that due to the shortage of
passenger motor vehicle license
plates, the date for using the 195O-51
plates has been extended indefinitely.
All those who have sent in appli-
cations for the new plates, but have
not yet received them, can drive with
their present tags until the new
plates are received.
Motorists are warned, however, to
watch the papers closely, because as
soon as an adequate supply of the
1882 plates have been received by
the Commissioner, the deadline for
the further use of the 1950-51 plates
will be announced.

The whole matter now apparently

What l am wondering is, did Per

the slices of cheese, or did he make
him pay for cheese sandwiches and
then refund Mrs. Keadle for the
fresh rolls she furnished?

Kiwanians Hear Of
Schools Progress
DIR. Spitznas, State Department
Of Education, Outlines Teach
ing Methods Advancement.

Speaking on THE Schools - A
Long View" DR.. James E. Spitznas,
director of instruction of the Mary
land State Department of Educa-
ton, told the members of the XII
wants Club, at their weekly lunch
con meeting at the Hotel Alexan-
der yesterday, that no schools in
the world have ever been in such a
strategic position to influence Amer
lean life as our schools of today.
The meeting was presided over
by Walter M. Daniels, president, and
the program was arranged by the
School and Key Club committee, of
which Wilson Cahall is chairman.
Raymond z. Hixon was introduced
as new member and A. Price Ran
some, of Baltimore, and Raymond
E. Scott, vice-principal of Washing
ton Street school, were guests.
In comparing the schools of to-
day with those of the horse and
buggy days, DR.. Spitznas pointed
out that: in 1915 there were only
5000 white boys and girls in high
schools in Maryland; by 1880 the
number had increased to $1,000,
while today $4,000 were enrolled.
Continuing his comparisons, the
speaker stated that back in 1880 the
philadelphia Free Press" in an ar
ticle on child labor, commented on
the fact that boys and girls between
the ages of six and sixteen were en-
ployed in factories and that the ma
jority of them could not read, or

Washington, D. c., with the city of
Cumberland, Maryland, at an esti-
mated cost of $1,000, 100000 and that
the Federal Government has asked
that the State of Maryland purchase

River, either under, over or across
the property owned by the Federal
Government:
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLV-

Government;

At a general membership meeting
of the Hagerstown Manufacturers
Bureau, of which Harold M. Porter
is president, held on Tuesday, March
20, 1851, the following resolution in
connection with the proposed Gro
Canal Parkway was unanimously
adopted, and copies of same have
been forwarded to our two United
States Senators, our Congressman,
our State Senator and our six Coun-
ty Delegates at Annapolis:
WHEREAS, it has been called to
the attention of the Manufacturers
Bureau of Hagerstown, Maryland,
that the State of Maryland invested
the sum Of $7,000,0 100000 in the build
ing and operation of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal without receiving
any cash in return whatsoever in
Guiding many millions of dollars of
unpaid interest, and that the State of
Maryland later sold its controlling
interest in said canal for $155, 100000,
and still later this canal, comprising
approximately 5000 acres, was pur-
chased in the year of 1888 by the
Federal Govt. for $2,OO0,OOO.OO;
AND WHEREAS, this series of
transactions has made the Federal
Government the owner of a narrow,
continuous strip of land within the
State of Maryland, extending for ap-
proximately 1856 miles along the Po-
tomac River adjacent to the southern
boundaries of the counties of Mont
gomery, Frederick, Washington and
Allegany;
AND WHEREAS, in the absence
of an act of the Congress of the
United States, the Federal Govern
ment is unable to grant to any citi-
zen or corporation or other organ
lied body perpetual rights to obtain
water from the Potomac River across
the strip of land owned by the Fed
eral Government, and that due to
this situation a multi-million dollar
plant, which was to have been built
in the southern section of Washing
ton County and for which options on
land had been acquired, was not
built in Washington County, but that
the options acquired in Washington
County were given up and options
for land were acquired across the
river in West Virginia, where it has
been announced that this plant will
be built;
AND WHEREAS, the fact that the
plant is not to be built in Maryland
means a serious loss of potential
taxes to the State and its sub-divi-
sions, and also a loss of potential
income to many of the citizens OF
Washington County who would have
been employed at or otherwise earn
ed livelihood in connection with
this plant;
AND WHEREAS, it has also been
called to the attention of this body
that the Federal Government is now
