HAGERSTowN. Md, Set. II
The Hagerstown Fair got its 9th
show rolling yesterday, after rain
all but washed out the opener
the day before.
: Yesterdays daylight crowd
hardly qualified as a crowd, but
attendance built up last night to
where officials rated the days
average as exceptional for a
Tuesday" The total for the day
was about 10000 visitors, COM
pared to $500 on the opening
day last year.
Besides, they said. 'our fairs
|2 night time thing now"
They said the sprawling fair
site can't draw day crowds be-
cause people can't get away from
their jobs. Instead, fair fanciers
swarm over the grounds at night
Today's crowd may set some sort
Iof record. Tonight is '.Pangborn
Night" in honor of the big Hagers-
town Pangborn plant, whose work.

Since 1855.
Hagerstown has been having
fairs since 1855. authorities said
The only year it couldn't hold one
was in 1918. when an. influenza
epidemic kept the gates closed.
Another epidemic affected the
thing this year. The fair is minus
hogs. The pig population has
taken down with a At of some
thing that makes it dangerous fol
them to congregate in numbers.
The fair is sponsored by the
Agricultural and Mechanical AS
sociation Of Washington County
but about eight counties-in four
States-haye representative ex-
nibits. Pennsylvania, Virginia
and West Virginia farmers show
their stock and produce, because
Hagerstown is pretty close to all
those neighbor States.

Seek Survey Of
Police Methods
Administrative Study
By Criminal Justice
Group Is Requested

The Washington Criminal JUS
tice Association may conduct q
survey of the administrative pro-
|cedures of the Metropolitan Police
Department.
The association received q re-
quest from the District Commits
sioners late yesterday to do the
job. Such q survey was among
the recommendations of the SEN
ate Crime Investigating Commit
tee.
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue. who is in charge of police af-
fairs, said that he and Police Chief
Robert v. Murray have been con-
ferring on the subject for several
weeks. Mr.. Donohue said that the
possibility of having the survey
done by an outside professional
firm was considered, but rejected
because of the high cost involved.
One estimate. he said, ran as high
las $4,000.
Personnel and Equipment.
The Commissioner emphasized
that the present survey will deal
Ionly with such administrative
matters as the utilization of police
personnel and the adequacy of
equipment. He pointed out that
in recent years the Federal Bureau
lof Investigation surveyed the de-
lpartment's method of keeping
crime reporting records.
George C. Clarke. president OF
THE association. said the request
will have to be submitted to the
Executive Board for action. This
probably won't be done until next
week.
Commissioner Donohue said the
association probably will have to
Iget extra help and money to con-
duct the survey. He added that
he hopes the association can dc
the job as a public service. at
is a very important study" he
said.
Scope Of Survey.
/ Among the elements that might
be looked into by the association
according to Mr.. Donohue, are the
training. morale and distribution
of members of the force; vehicles,
weapons and crime solution equip
ment. including communications
and the relations Of policemen
with private citizens.
The Senate crime investigating
group, in its report on extensive
hearings on District law enforce
ment last June, urged an admin
Iistrative survey to determine pres
ent efficiency and to suggest
methods of improvements" The
committee recommended retaining
the Institution of Public Admin
istration ''or some similarly quail
fed professional organization"
Commissioner Donohue said he
feels the Criminal Justice Associa-
tion is ideally qualified" for the
task.

They offer activity and COM

More than that. their sponsors

They realize, too, that from the
point Of view Of the community
the experience and wisdom that
comes with age should not be
passed by lightly.
Besides his observation of the
plight Of old folks through the
Department Of Social Relations
Canon Richard Williams, executive
director. recalls his previous ex-
|perience when great numbers
would come into church to pass
the time.
A local bank has encountered
something Of a problem from the
elderly who come in just to sil
around. A large and busy cafeteris
has run into difficulty persuadins
many older patrons to move or
latter finishing their meals.

people live alone in hall bedrooms,
Canon Williams points out. He
cited, for example, many retired

been away from their home towns

return to.
Linked by Loneliness.
Although representing q wide
cr0ss.section Of life here, he says
these elderly people "are all bound
together because Of the lack OF
companionship and any program
especially for them"
Not only do they stilI have con-
siderable talents hi various fields
to contribute, Canon Williams
notes, "but we must also take into
consideration that this group o1
people throughout the country
still is Of voting age"
The District has no vote, but
this may come, he points out. He
sees this potentiality for taking
Ia direct part in government as
presenting q responsibility to help
the elderly keep interested and
informed.
Canon Williams sees the move
ment as another field Of COM
munity endeavor In which the
church is taking leadership.
I'VE all know how the church
started colleges. hospitals and or
