WORLD LUTHERANS MEET
IN WEST GERMAN SECTOR

Bells of Lutheran churches
throughout West Germany rang out
recently as the Second Lutheran
World Federation Assembly opened
in Hanover, Germany. Thousands
of persons turned out to watch a
procession of black-robed Lutheran
dignitaries lead delegates from "a
countries through the free world
into Hannover's 70O-year-old Mar
ket Church for the beginning of the
sessions. The Federation represents
46,000,000 Lutherans throughout the
world.
Absent were the Lutherans from
East Germany and Russian satellite
countries, whose Communist govern
ments refused to give them travel
permits. About 1000 American
Lutherans, including rs delegates
from fifteen states, are attending,
among them DR.. Abdel Ross Wentz,
of Gettysburg, Pa, vice president of
the assembly.

DEATH CLAIMS EVA PERON,
ARGENTTNA'S CINDERELLA

Little Eva" Peron, wife of Ar
gentina's dictator president, Juan D.
Peron, died in Buenos Aires after a
lingering illness which was unoffi-
cially said to be cancer.
Her death cast wave of mourn
ing over the country, whose poorer
people fairly worshipped her as the
leader of movement to raise the
standards of living and prevent their
exploitation.
A poor, untutored, provincial
girl, whose romance blossomed into
political power, she was real-life
Cinderella for millions of Argentine
workers, nursing mothers and howell
jewellers. Her age was officially
listed at 80 years, but she is believed
to have been 8 years older. Only
last year she was urged for the vice
presidential post, but she declined
because she said she was too young
for such responsibility. Neverthe-
less, she was undoubtedly the most
powerful woman of the Western
Hemisphere, her popularity being
very probably greater than that OF
her dictator husband. Her blonde
beauty made her prominent figure
during political campaigns and she
| is credited with being the power
back of her husbands rise to con-
troll. She challenged Argentina's
tradition that woman's place was in
the home, and made the women OF
Argentina conscious of their politi-
cal responsibility.
Her body laid in state, and she was
accorded all the honors Of a de-
ceased president. Her birthday has
been proclaimed a national holiday

down and the roads were to be thus
made safer and more nearly
smooth" Grades were to be cut
down and the roadbed in many
places improved Many new trans
mission lines were to parallel the
tracks to provide the power where
it was needed. All the cars already
in service were to be overhauled and
several new larger cars were to be
purchased.
The lines were to be extended
within Hagerstown too. One extern
sion expected was to be further out
West Washington Street, and a re-
turn to the Square by way of Salem
Avenue. Another extension was to
be to "the great factory district in
the northwest section of the city"
It was expected that double tracks
would be laid on South Potomac
Street on North Potomac Street as
far as Playground Avenue, and on
the first block of West Washington.
OF course, a big plea was put in
to try to get as large portion of
the funds for extensions and i'm
provements spent within Hagers-
town as possible, with the argument
that the city would undoubtedly
grow and that it would be to every
ones advantage to provide the trans
portation facilities that would in the
near future be needed. 1t was also
argued that it would be easier to
make those extensions at that time,
rather than after the outlying por-
tions of the city would be built up,
and further, that providing the IA
cilities first would be a big attrac-
ton to both business and workers.
The wisdom of this has surely been
proved.
Another interesting and highly
profitable and fortunate sidelight to
IllIo iii p1ONSlllCIlCS p1d1A was LllC
erecting of high tension lines
through parts of the county that had
heretofor not had the privilege of
electric power. The new company
felt that it would be to everyone's
advantage to provide the citizenry
with power wherever possible.
This made power available to
many new sections, and in many
cases lowered the price to the place
that many more people could buy.
Towns benefited in this way includ-
ed: Smithsburg, Emmitsburg, Lewis
town, Woodsboro, Braddock, Mid
dletown, Myersville, and many
others.
Detailed plans called for the erect
ing of new power generating facili-
ties, many of which are in use today.
Some of these will be described
in later columns of Horse and Bug
gy Days.

KING FAROUK, OF EGYPT,
ABDICATES HIS THRONE

King Farouk l, play-boy monarch
of Egypt, whose gambling escapades
at Monte Carlo and questionable
martial experiences have made him
notorious figure, has abdicated his
throne in response to military pres
sure and sailed to Italy and exile on
royal warship. With him was his
family, including the 7-month-old
Crown Prince Ahmed, who will be-
come King Faud II of Egypt and
the Sudan
Lieut.. Gen. Mohammed Naguib
Bey, Egypt's new strong man, who
led the tank-supported revolt of the
Army, thus accomplished what he
characterizes as cleanup cam
paign" without bloodshed. Queen
hartman, who at first feared she
must remain behind to care for the
baby Prince, later accompanied her
deposed husband after it was agreed
to permit the entire family to go as
a unit.
Farouk, an inveterate card play
er, is said to have predicted his own
downfall only recently when he
told an American acquaintance that
soon there would be only five
kings" left in the world: 'The king
of hearts, the king of spades, the
king of clubs, the kind of diamonds
and the King of England"
