TERRIBLE taxes will not be neces-
sary.
The irresponsible dreamers who
now control our government go
about the world, giving away, YOUR
MONEY and mine, to any nation that
will take it, while in our OWN
country we need schools, hospitals,
asylums, correctional institutions,
roads and homes, FOR OUR OWN
PEOPLE. They go about the world
raising the standards of living of
other nations while we have MIL
LIONS of poor people in our own
country. Our poor people have
money taken out of their pay checks,
so that money can be sent to foreign
lands, and in many cases, the money
we send abroad is given to crooked
politicians who use it for their own
benefit.
If you send me to the United States
Senate, no power on earth will keep
me quiet about these things.

critical of office holders who de-
nounce certain measures when they
are back home talking to the voters,
but then go back to Washington and
vote for the very measures they have
so strongly denounced.
Mr.. Mills then pledges himself, if
the voters send him to the United
States Senate, "to fight, with all of
my strength" to put a stop to these
practices.

lows:

been hasty one. have talked to
many, many people from all parts of
the State of Maryland and all parts
of the United States
1t is clear that the great majority
of our people are tired of voting peo-
pie OUT of office, only to find they
have voted someone else INTO Of
flee, who does NO BETTER when he
gets to Washington.
People tell me they have had
enough of the double talk from Of
flee holders. Members of Congress
and the U. S. Senate go about the
state telling the people we. are head
ed for ruin and destruction, under
present policies, but we never hear
of these same office holders talking
that way in Congress. In many cases
they vote FOR the very measures,
which they so thoroughly denounce
when they are back home, speaking
to the people
If the voters of the State of Mary
land choose to trust me to represent
them in the U: S. Senate, 1 PROMISE
TO FIGHT, WITH ALL OF MY
STRENGTH, the senseless policy of
giving away OUR money to other ma

ridiculous policy of 'give away and

Judge Mish Praises
Polio Drive Workers

AS final tabulations are being
made to determine the amount col
lected by Washington County for the
1852 March of Dimes, its Chairman,
Judge Joseph D. Mish, issued the
following statement, thanking all
those who participated in the cam
paign:
again the people of Hagerstown
and Washington County have dem
onstrated their willingness to get be-
hind worthy cause. Again we have
been able to help those who are af-
fiicted with polio and again I would
like to thank all those who have
worked so faithfully to make this
help possible"
Judge Mish also expressed his spe-
cial thanks to the newspapers, radio
stations and theatre managers, as
well as the Sports Jamboree Com
mittee and the headquarters office
staff, for their cooperation.
In conclusion, Judge Mish said:
Few persons realize the tremen-
dous amount of work that goes be-
hind something like the Mothers
March on Polio. Our volunteer
workers and their leaders in this
special one-night drive cannot be
thanked enough for their highly sue
cessful efforts"

Evan Crossley, judge of the Ju-
venile Court, in an address before
the Kiwanis Club at its regular week.
ly luncheon meeting on Thursday,
told his audience that the policy
adopted some weeks ago in an eff
fort to stop youngsters lettering, or
hanging around streets and alleys at
unreasonable hours of the night, has,
through the excellent cooperation
of the Police Department resulted in
marked decline in this practice.
The meeting, held in the Hotel
Alexander, was presided over by
president Albert M. Long, and the
following visitors were present:
Barney Stricken, York, Pa; Dan
Miller and Edwin Miller, both of
Hagerstown; and Kiwanians Lionel
Burgess, Ellicott City; Rev. w. M.
Weaver, Frederick; R. c. Thompson,
Towson; and E. R. Huntsberry, Win
chester, Va.
Mr.. Crossley, who was introduced
by Bob Chalmers, chairman of the
Under-privileged Children's Com
mittee, spoke on 1.-THE Homeless At
Home" and in his Introductory re-
marks pointed out that a number of
factors entered into the problem,
among them gambling and recurring
alcoholism, and he gave actual cases
that have come before the Juvenile
Court, to prove his point.
''The story of the child in trouble
in Washington County," the speak
er said, lis, from the viewpoint of
the Court, another story of too little
and too late.
TOO late to learn the wayward
girl has been seeking the affection
she lacked at home. Too late we
learn that the fatherless baby has
been born to girl with border
line mentality, whose parents did
not understand how to train and
control her at home. Too late we
learn that the young thief was never
punished at home. Too late we
learn that property has been des-
troyed by youngsters who have been
literally living on the streets be-
cause of their parents lack of in
terest. When this delinquent con-

duct was discovered in the past, too
little was done to readjust the child
at home"
Mr.. Crossley then pointed out that
Washington County is many years
behind other counties in providing
special training for parents of the
child in trouble; special training in
developing program to train a
child on probation; the setting up of
a Big Brother program; and last, but
far from least, the providing of more
foster homes. SIN addition to these
measures . the speaker added, 1--WE
find we must begin regular prac-
tice of pre-sentence investigation
parole supervision and referral of
each case to a minister, practices
that have been successfully follow
ed for many years in the Juvenile
Courts of Montgomery County, Bal
timore County and Baltimore City"
The Judge then told his audience
that, with the help of the clergy,
specially trained teachers of the
Washington County Board of Educa-
ton, the Public Health Department
and other agencies, the Court is
trying to make up for lost time for
the child in trouble.
In closing, Mr.. Crossley stated that
we are all responsible for the con-
ditions that are so tragica1ly brought
out in the Juvenile Court every day
We are all at fault" he said. 1--WE
knew too little of what was going
on. We have been too late in find
ing out; too late to save many of the
boys and girls already in trouble
Let us hope that we will not be too
late in preventative work with those
children not yet in trouble, and let
us hope that we will not, in the fu-
ture, have too little help to give to
tomorrow's child in trouble"

News Of
CityHan

The best news that came out of
the special meeting of the Mayor
and Council held on Tuesday, was
their decision to concentrate, this
year, on taking care of those city
streets that, for years have been
neglected, instead of spending the
taxpayers money on providing paw
ed streets for new developments.
Under the plan, the five council
men will present their motions to
provide sewerage facilities and paw
ed streets for streets in their wards
that are, at present, without them,
and the group agreed unanimously
to place these projects ahead of ev-
erything else
Tuesdays meeting got the ball
rolling, with authority being given,
on the motion of Councilman Knight,
to pave CARROT Street, in the South
End, and property owners in several
streets in the West End were to be
asked to lay curbs and sidewalks, in
preparation for the paving of these
streets also.
The request of the Board of Public
Works, that the Council appropriate
funds to pay for overtime work of
members of the Police Force, as
needed, so that they could work
longer shifts in order to better police
the city, got short thrift. After a
brief discussion, which was led by
Councilmen Knight and Broom, dur
ing which they both again suggested
that only one man be assigned to
each cruiser, instead of the custom
airy two, Councilman Hellane com
planned that the Police Department
had not carried out the order of the
! Council that a police officer be sta
toned on Fridays and Saturdays at
the grocery store on North Potomac
Street, where a dangerous traffic
hazard is caused by the double park
ing Of cars.
On this subject, Councilman Eli
oft suggested that, if necessary, a
police officer be taken from his reg
ular beat in order to cover the North
Potomac Street assignment, pointing
out that in the event that trouble
developed on his regular beat, the
Police Department could put the
blame squarely on the shoulders of
the Council.
The request for extra funds, on the
motion of Councilman Knight, Sec
onded by Councilman Broom, was,
by unanimous vote, tabled.
The final action at the meeting was
the adoption of Daylight Saving
Time for 1852, the motion being
made by Councilman Hellane.

April and end on the last Sunday in

ing off of 1000 employees so that
these 4O3 people could get few ex-
ira dollars a week. 1 sure am glad,
however, that the vast majority of
the Fairchild employees were good
enough citizens to place the welfare
of their fellow employees ahead of
the greed of a few.
I was saddened to hear of the
death of Harold Ickes, one of the
greatest statesmen this country has
ever known.
Known as ''the old curmudgeon,"
he was beloved by the entire per-
sonnet of the Department of Inter
ior, which he headed longer than
any other man.
Scrupulously honest as well as
fearless, he ran the Department on
an absolute businesslike basis and
all that worked with him knew that
the one thing he wanted in his de
partment, more than anything else,
was honesty.
A great man has gone to his eter-
nal rest, but his memory will al
ways live in American government.
CONGRATULATIONS to the Mayor and
Council, and particularly to Coun-
Gilman Jack Hellane, on, at long
last, providing sewerage facilities for
the homes on Devonshire Road.
The Council has also voted, as
soon as the road has settled enough
after the sewer pipes have been laid,
and the homeowners have installed
curbs and sidewalks, to grade the
road and pave it.
Although the entire membership
of the Chamber of Commerce was
polled on whether or not they were
in favor of the state paying the cost
of living pay increase to the teach
ers in our public schools throughout
the state, it was disappointing to me
to find that, of the total membership
of SOL, only 172 members took the
trouble to answer. OF the 172 who
returned the postcards sent to them,
1875 voted in favor of the pay increase
being paid by the counties instead of
by the state, and As voted against it.
A bill to increase the teachers
salaries by the state, with the funds
coming from a 25 per cent increase
in corporate taxes, was passed at the
last session of the legislature, but
was vetoed by the Governor. The
veto will be considered by the legis-
lature at the session now in pro-
gress.
In connection with this increase it
should be pointed out that, as far as
Washington County is concerned, the
Board of County Commissioners paid
the increase in 1851 from county
funds and included provisions for
its continued payment in 1852 in
the current years budget
The Commissioners feel, however,
that since the sales tax was originally
planned for the purpose of providing
more funds for schools, the cost of
living increase should be paid by the
Estate, but from sales tax revenue and
not from an increase in corporate
taxes.
