Kiwanians Hear The
Story Of T.A.S.C.
Get First Hand Facts About
New Club Being Formed By
Teen-Age Group.

Members of the Kiwanis Club, at
their regular weekly luncheon meet
ing held at the Hotel Alexander on
Thursday, heard the story of Hag-
erstown's newest and most unusual
club-TA.S.C The meeting was
presided over by president Oscar
Hartsock and the program was ar
ranged by the Achievement and
Publicity Committee, of which H. S.
Douglas is chairman.
T.ASC., which stands for 'STeen-
ayers Auto Safety Club" was
thought up and organized by a small
group of students who were deter
mined to really do something about
safe and sane teen-age driving, and
the remarkable thing about it is that
they laid the ground work for this
club, not at the suggestion of adults,
but because they themselves recog-
nized the need and Importance of
such an organization.
After brief Introductory remarks
by the committee chairman. who
urged the members of the club to
back these young people to the limit,
three of the charter members of the
organization-the Misses Wanda De-
vine and Susanna Geary, seniors at
st. Mary's High School, and Carroll
James, a senior at Hagerstown High
I School-took the floor and explain
ed the purpose of their club; what
decided them to get it started, and
what they hoped to achieve.
| During the course Of their talks,
| they explained that members of the
club would display on the wind
shields of the cars they drove, a T.
/ A.S.C. emblem and it was also
1 brought out that an unwritten law
of the club would be, that none of the
girls who are members of the club
Twill go riding in car that does not
carry the T.A.S.C. emblem.
4 The three speakers also emphasiz-
ed that through the club they hoped
j to promote real safety program for
steen-age drivers in the schools of the
city and county and, through arti-
Giles in the press and over the radio
as well as public demonstrations to
make every teen-ager conscious of
his or her responsibility behind the
wheel of a car.
Following the talks by the three
young people, Mr.. Claude B. Bru-
beck, instructor of Driving Educa-
ton at HagerstoWn High School
told his audience that statistics have
proved that school students who are
taught to drive under the high school
program have an exceptionally fine
safety record and he pledged his full
support of the Teen-agers Auto
Safety Club.
The program was closed with few
remarks by Kiwanian Douglas S
Wright, who is acting as the T.A.S.C
advisor.

At,Transit Hearing

Senate investigators of WASH

scheduled a closed-door hearing
for Wednesday afternoon on one
phase of the issues not yet COW

This deals with why the In
terstate Commerce Commission
approved the purchase of con-
trolling interest in the Capital
Transit Co. by Florida syndi-
cate headed by Louis E. Wcifson,
in 1949. in the face of questions
raised by the ICC examiner.
Another question is why in

split in the outstanding shares

Testimony is to be taken We'd

Spiritual Weapons Urged
In Fiqht on Communism

A missionary priest said yes
terday that the United States
has made a tactical mistake by
assuming communism is a "flesh
and blood organization" and by
neglecting to use spiritual weap-
ons to fight it.
The Rev. Louis j. Dowd, Jesuit
missionary who was expelled
from China in 1851 after IA years
of service, said as a nation we're
fumbling and fumbling badly" "
adding that until the State De-
partment opens its eyes and
recognizes what we are fighting,
nothing will be accomplished.
'"The State Department is try
ing to fight flesh and blood, and
is completely befuddled on how
to approach the problem" the
priest told members of the Sodal-
ity of Our Lady at the Foreign
Service School at Georgetown
University.
Father Dowd was ordained a
priest in a Japanese prison camp
in 1914, where he was imprisoned
for three years. He will go to
