l was terribly surprised when
Magistrate Jacob B. Berkson in
formed me yesterday that he has
been recalled to active duty in the
u. S. Navy and has been ordered
to proceed to San Francisco for ac-
tive naval service in Japan within
so days.
As a result of this order Magis-
trate Berkson has reluctantly tend
cred his resignation to Governor Nc
Keldin, effective March 7, 1852, as
trial magistrate here.
Mr.. Berkson, when he went on the
inactive list in the Navy held the
rank of Lieutenant (jg).
It has been my great pleasure to
count Jack Berkson as a friend, and
both as a citizen and as a member
Of the bar, he has been a credit to
his family and the community in
which he lives. During the year of
his service as a trial magistrate in
HagerstoWn, he has made a record
that any man can be proud of and
he leaves Hagerstown, to again serve
his country as a naval officer, with
the knowledge that he carries with
him the best wishes of his host of
friends and their prayers for his
speedy return home.
The Board of County Commission
ers, at their regular weekly meeting
on Tuesday, decided by vote of to
2 to pay the bill submitted by the
State Police Department for the ex-
penses incurred by the State Police
in obtaining evidence that led up to
the raids on slot machines in the
county. They also received deputa-
tons from groups in the county who
requested that their particular sec
tions be included in the road building
program for 1852.
In connection with the vote on the
payment of the State Police expense
money, there was considerable dis
cussion, with Commissioner Hoffman
being outspoken in his opposition to
the payment because he felt that the
constituted authorities-the office of
the sheriff of Washington County
was by-passed during the investiga-
tions and arrests, and he was sup
ported by Commissioner Eldridge.
President Burhans, in voting with
Commissioners Mobley and Delphey
to pay the bill, pointed out not only
that the county has received all the
money found in the seized slot ma
chimes, but also that the Chief Judge
of the Circuit Court, Joseph D. Mish,
recommended that the commission
ers pay the bill.
You figure it out!
From time to time I am being ask
ed by some of my subscribers, "why
don't you let people know that you
moved your office to Room 6, Negley
Bldg, 122 w. Washington St.?" to
which l laughingly reply, sit is very
evident that you don't read The
Globe, because l had the notice of
removal, not only on the front page
all through the month of November,
but also on several other pages of
the paper
But when in last weeks issue
failed to state, in the story of John
Carlson's address at the high school,
the time it would take place, and al
so, in the story of the big safety
rally at the high school, stated that
it would be held last Saturday, when,
of course, it will take place this Sat
urday, January 26, 1 heard plenty
about those two bonerS.
