which is mounted on trailer behind
the locomotive. The complete model
train is 40 feet long, more than 7 feet
wide and almost II feet high.
The float is modelled after one of
eight Dutch Wagon" locomotive
built during the period 1852 through
1854. In that day, these were the
last word in passenger locomotives
on the B & o. So it was natural
for one of them to be chosen to haul
the first two special trains over the
B & o line when it was opened to
Wheeling. On these trains were the
governors of Maryland and Virginia,
as well as senators, congressman,
Legislators and other dignitaries.
Like its original, the float model is
painted in the bright colors that
were typical of railroad locomotives
and trains in the mid-19th century.
The locomotive is painted in red,
gray and black and the coach is
bright yellow with red trim.
The parade, as usual, will form at
the intersection of West Washington
and Prospect Streets, proceed down
West Washington to the Square, then
turn right on South Potomac Street
to Locust Point, from where it will
swing into Locust Street and con-
tinue on that street to Playground
Avenue. Turning left on Playground
Avenue to the Potomac Avenue and
North Potomac Street intersection,
the parade will then swing back on
North Potomac Street to the Square,
where it will disband
This is the same route as last year,
with the one exception that the pa
rade will turn on Playground Ave
nue. instead of Wayside Avenue.
Prior to the parade there will be
reception and banquet in the Ma
sonic Temple auditorium, honoring
Miss Georgia Reed, Miss Maryland
of 1851
Immediately before the parade
gets underway occupants of the
stands in the square will be enter
tanned with a concert by the sixty
piece Delaware County String Band
which, for the second straight year,
will be one of the feature bands in
line.

Lutheran Auditorium on Sunday
evening at 7:45 o'clock.
The speaker for this years service
will be DR.. Clarence c. Stoughton,
educator, author, ex-newspaperman
and ecumenical lay leader. DR..
Stoughton has taken for his subject,
"Wanted-A New Reformation
Before he became Wittenberg Col
lege's first lay president in 1949, DR..
Stoughton had followed a distin-
guished career as college professor,
president of Wagner College in New
York, director of the Boy Scouts in
New York, and director of the Pro-
testant Council of New York. In
1945 he was elected executive secre-
tary Of the Lutheran Laymen's
Movement for Stewardship, and Sec
retary of Stewardship for the United
Lutheran Church in America.
Although he is direct descendant
of William Stoughton, one-time
lieutenant governor of the Massa-
chusetts Bay Colony and benefactor
of Harvard College, DR.. Stoughton
has the right to call himself self
made man." He worked his way
through high school and college by
serving as a handyman in grocery
stores, a letterpress shop, a tailor
shop and an office assistant.
DR.. Stoughton came into the public
eye by his valuable work done for
the World Council of Churches. Him
self the chairman of the World Coun-
ellis Commission on the Laity, DR..
Stoughton went to postwar Europe
to set up two programs: first, to or
ganiZe, all over Europe, vocational
institutes to train men of various
professions and trades in a Christian
avocation; and second, to help
churches create Stewardship pro-
grams.
When the National Council of
|. Churches of Christ in America was
formed, DR., Stoughton was request
ed to organize its new department
of Stewardship. He is also chairman
of the Board of Managers for a
weekly newspaper, which will be
published by the National Council
of Churches, and serves as director
of the Councils University Chris
tan Mission.
The Rev. Raymond M. Miller and
DR.. Paul M. Robinson will be in
charge of Sundays service.

as was the case Wednesday night,
they accept professional engage
ment, the money they receive is used
in its entirety to provide refresh
ments, such as ice cream and cake,
when they visit the various institu-
tons.
The band, under the direction of
R. c. Parr, put on novelty program
that was voted by the more than
$50 Kiwanians and their wives as
one of the best shows of its kind
they have ever seen. The bands
hillbilly arrangements were excep-
tionally well done and their novelty
and comedy numbers brought down
the house.
While the instruments in the band
included banjos, guitars, saxophones,
trombone, washboard and piano,
the most unusual one was an ordin-
airy galvanized washtub. Attached
to the tub was length of wire, with
the other end fastened to broom
handle, and the player, using only
his hand on the wire, gave a re-
markable imitation of a base fiddle.
The program was arranged by the
Entertainment Committee, of which
Edwin F. Darner is chairman.

1t is interesting to note, however,
that they handled during the past
year many hundreds of emergency
calls for aid, that has taken their
workers into many, many towns
throughout the County.
They have, during the past year,
provided foster homes for children
whose parents were sentenced to
prison; provided food and clothing
for families in need; and they have
even provided transportation to a
Baltimore hospital for a mother and
child when both had to be rushed
there for emergency operations.
These are just few of the serv-
ices rendered throughout the Coun-
ty-services that can be rendered in
a larger measure by your contribu-
tions to the Red Feather Campaign,
which gets underway on November
9.
Between us all, both residents of
Hagerstown and the County as a
whole, we are asked to raise $122,-
$1,000 so that this great work can
be continued for another year. If
we all pitch in and do our part the
goal will be reached. So start in
right now figuring how much you
can give when one of the volunteer
workers drops by your home for
your contribution.

Wing Scouts Learn
About Map Reading

The weekly meeting of the Wing
Scouts Squadron 20, which is spon-
sored by the Business and Profess
sional Women's Club, was held at the
Woman's Club on Monday evening at
700 o'clock.
The meeting was brought to order
by the pilot of the Squadron, Sue
Cushen, and was then turned over to
Captain Singer, who gave very in
teresting lecture on the reading of
aeronautical maps.
After the lecture was over, plans
were made for a rally, which will
probably be held on Saturday, No
vember 3, and the meeting then adj
journed at $3.50 o'clock.
All the girls of the Squadron wish
to convey their best wishes for a
speedy recovery to their flight COM

Around Town With,
The Editor

l am heartily in agreement with
Magistrates Berkson and Ingram
that when tavern keepers are charg-
ed with selling alcoholic beverages
to minors, charges should also be
brought against the minors for max
ing the illegal purchases.
AS long as these youngsters, who
think it's smart to take a drink, know
that they won't be punished if they
are caught, they'll keep on trying to
get away with it, but if they find
that they can be arrested and fined
if found drinking in taverns, then
they'll think twice before taking the
risk of publicly being disgraced, to
say nothing of the hurt to their
parents.
The five members of the City
Council, sitting as a Zoning Appeals
Board, heard their first case on
Thursday night-an appeal by the
Board of Trustees of the Washington
County Hospital against building
permit granted to trucking COM
pany, for a trucking warehouse on
Mill Street, in a district zoned as
Light Commercial.
After hearing all the evidence sub
mitted by both sides, the chairman
of the Board, Luther Broom, an
nounced that the Board would in
spect the site Of the proposed ware
house, after which all five members
of the Board would vote on the ap-
peal, which he expected would be
done on Tuesday.
But Mr.. Broom, much to my sur
prise, then announced that the vote
would be by secret ballot, an action
that I did not believe was legal.
The Board inspected the site on
Tuesday afternoon, but on being adj
vised that they could not legally vote
by a secret ballot, postponed voting
until yesterday, at which time, by a
unanimous vote, they upheld the APP
peal of the Board of Trustees of the
hospital and ordered the city build
ing inspector to cancel the permit for
the trucking warehouse.

Everything is in readiness for the
mammoth 9th annual Halloween
Mummer's Parade, which will be
held on Wednesday night, October
81, with Thursday, November l, as
the rain date.
The Alsatia Clubs parade com
mittee reports that the parade will
be the biggest and most colorful ever
held here and one of the features
will be the huge railway balloon,
which has created a sensation in ev-
cry city in the United States in
which it has appeared.
The entries of bands, drum corps
and marching units are exceeding
those of any in previous years and
in this connection it is pointed out
that the prize money will be the
largest in the parade's history
Another feature of the 1851 parade
will be two model locomotives fur
nished by the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad.
The first is a replica of a 1000
horsepower General Motors Electro
Motive Division "E-6" diesel unit.
This type of diesel locomotive was
placed in service on the B & o sew
eral years ago to haul high-speed
passenger trains.
The model was originally built in
1941 for the Dayton (Ohio) Centen-
NAL celebration. 1t is permanently
mounted on a truck chassis and is
27R feet long, feet wide and feet
high
1t is painted in the same blue and
gray color scheme used on real B &
o diesels, and it has been the star
of many parade and pageants.
The second model is a replica of
the first locomotive to pull train
from the East Coast into Wheeling,
Va. (now West Virginia) on Janu-
airy II, 1853, following the compile
ton of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road tracks to the Ohio River.
This model of Locomotive No. 80"
was built by the B & o especially to
take part in pageants and parades.
The locomotive and its tender are
mounted on a truck chassis. In adj
dition, there is a model of a railroad
passenger coach of the same era,

Higher Income Tax
Is Effective Nov. |
Means Increased Tax Deduc-
tons For November And De-
cember Payrolls.

George Hofferbert, Collector of In
ternal Revenue at Baltimore, Md,
announced yesterday that employers
will be required to withhold income
tax from wages paid on and after
November l, 1851, at the higher rates
provided by the Revenue Act of
1851.
Collector Hofferbert stated that
the pamphlets containing the revised
tables will be placed in the mails to
all employers on his list just as soon
as possible. Employers who do not
receive the pamphlet within a few
days after enactment of the new
law, may obtain copies at the Col,
lector's Office.
Collector Hofferbert stated that
employers are expected to make ev-
cry reasonable effort to comply with
the provisions respecting the new
rates. In view of the short time
o4H~HSAAAS OCCWCCIl LIlS SIIdCIuleIlC OF
the law and the first payroll period
affected, many employers may not
be able to adjust to the new rates on
the first pay day affected. While no
adjustments will be made in the
audit of the Withholding returns in
such cases, he made it clear that this
does not in any manner affect the
responsibility of employees to meet
their full tax liability as required by
law when making their returns for
the year 1851.
Collector Hofferbert also called at
tention to the fact that the new law
relieves individuals from penalties
for failure to comply with the re-
quirements relative to declarations
of estimated tax on Form 1040-ES
for 1851 if due to the increased rates
in the Act. Revised estimates will
not be required on account of the
rate increase, although the higher
tax for 1851 provided in the law will
have to be paid when taxpayers file
their income tax returns for the year.

Diplomats To Study Chances For Korean Peace Agreement

WASHINGTON, (P) - DiplO- mats from the nations fighting in Korea open a study here this week on the chances for a peace agreement but about all they have to go on is hope that the Com munist aggressors now realize they can't win. There is no public sign of such a conclusion on the part of the Reds.
 The talks probably will begin, at least in preliminary stages, to- morrow at State Department session of the 13-nation Korean policy conference There will be another such regular session Fri day. The meetings are routine for the representatives of nations fighting in the Far East war.
 Britain's embassy, under in structions received from London last week, is the prime mover right now in the hunt for an ave- nue to peace, but the United States already was operating along that line when the British move came.

LONDON, P)-A Foreign Of- flee spokesman said Friday the United States never has formally asked Britain to join in a general naval blockade of Red China.
 He was commenting on state ment made by Admiral Forrest Sherman, chief of United States naval operations, saying that only Britain among the United Nations has opposed a naval blockade of China.
 Sherman's testimony clearly ir- ritated British higher-ups.

NEW LOOK FOR TIRES

AKRON, O., (P)-Passenger car tires that are dirty and dingy after winter and spring driving can be made to look bright and black again in a few minutes.
 Only little effort is required to do the trick, reports the B. F. Goodrich Go. Use a tablespoon of detergent in a pailful of cold water and whip up some suds. After washing the tires with a rag or stiff brush, rinse them we'll with clear water. Dry with clean cloth to regain the new look. Avoid using gasoline, kerosene or any other petroleum product.
