THE STREETS

The streets are made of limestone,
which is broken and laid down to
a great depth and topped with stone
crushed very fine, and then rolled
with a heavy iron road roller
weighing 30 tons, which packs the
streets into a solid and smooth mass
of stone, very durable and as smooth
as asphaltum, making streets of a
very superior character. The side
walks are well paved generally, and
vary in width from to IL feet. The
cutters and underdrains are well
kept and are always free from what
ever is offensive.

FIRE DEPARTMENT

The Fire Department consists of
five well organized and thoroughly
equipped companies. These COM
panies are volunteer, but are under
thorough discipline and are COM
posed of good, responsible citizens.
Three of these companies own large
buildings, the rental of those por-
tons for which they have no use,
bringing in a considerable revenue.
The city and county treasures con-
tributes small sums towards the sup
port of the companies and furnish
them with necessary hose. The
Fire Companies are admirably eff
ficient, and the risk from fire is re-
duced to a minimum, fact which
is recognized by the Fire Insurance
Companies. There are two modern
steam fire engines belonging to the
companies and a number of hand
engines. These are kept for emer-
gencies, but the enormous pressure
of water renders all engines I'M
necessary. The hose is screwed onto

Horse and Buggy Days

Here is the seventh installment
in a series of articles taken from
Judge T. J. c. Williams booklet,
"Hagerstown," published in 1887 by
the Mail Publishing Company.
This weeks installment deals with
Hagerstown's topography and
growth.
TOPOGRAPHY
Hagerstown is built upon a solid
foundation of blue limestone rock.
In the center is square, through
which the two principal business
streets of the town pass. One of the
streets, Potomac, running to the
north, after it passes through the
business section widens out into a
beautiful avenue, on the west side
of which is an eminence or ridge
from 100 to 200 feet back from the
street. This ridge is crowned with
a row of houses which would do
credit to the largest cities Running
down to the broad street are we'll
kept lawns, and from the front
porches is a view of the mountain
and the intervening valley, of strik-
ing beauty. All this was a few
years ago, pasture ground.
Washington Street, which passes
through the square at right angles
with Potomac, continues to the west
along the old National Pike and at
the western suburbs reaches a high
and beautiful elevation. At right
angles with this street Prospect
Street extends to the south. It is on
the summit of high ridge, and the
houses on this street are of great
beauty and are surrounded by charm
ing gardens. One of these was form
erly the residence of Mr. Nathaniel
Rochester, the founder of the City
of Rochester, N. Y. The view from
Prospect Street, of the mountain and
the valley and large part of the
town, is very fine. This street is a
favorite place of residence.
The lower sections of the town
range over $50 feet above the level
of tide water.

HEALTH AND DRAINAGE

The high situation of HagerStoWn,
its distance from water and the pure
mountain air of the valley, combine
to make the town remarkably
healthy. It is absolutely free from
endemic diseases Malarial diseases,
such as chills and fever, are un-
known, and there is an absence of
many other diseases which distress
the population of lower situations.
Ten thousand dollars have been vot-
ed by the people to perfect a system
of drainage by sewers. The water
sheds of the town are so situated
that small number of sewers will
relieve the whole town of sewage
and deliver it into a rushing stream
far out of the corporate limits. This
improvement will be speedily made
ACCESSIBILITY
AS said before, Hagerstown has
competing routes to all important
centres. The Cumberland Valley
road connects it with the great
Pennsylvania system and the Balti-
more and Ohio gains access to it by
its Washington County Branch. To
New York and Philadelphia there
are no less than three distinct routes;
namely, via Harrisburg over the
Cumberland Valley and Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, via Baltimore over
the Baltimore & Ohio, and over the
Western Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania, Western and Baltimore Rail
roads. The time to New York is
nine hours, to Philadelphia six hours
and to Baltimore over the Western
Maryland road, three hours. There
are numerous trains on each of the
roads. The East Tennessee. Vir-
ginia and Georgia Air Line, via the
Shenandoah Valley, gives direct
communication to all points in the
South and Southwest, while to the
West there is choice of routes via
the Baltimore & Ohio, Pennsylvania
Railroad and Chesapeake & Ohio.
The railroads radiate from Hagers-
town like the spokes of a wheel, in
six different directions. Over all
these roads the passenger and
freight tariff is very favorable.
About fifty passenger trains ar
rive or depart from Hagerstown
every day The Baltimore daily pa
pers are received before breakfast
each day, and those from Philadel-
phia about 1000 o'clock, and New
York papers between 200 and 300.
The Western Union and Baltimore
& Ohio Telegraph Companies both
have offices in the town, and there
is a well organized and fourishing
local Telephone Exchange. There
is telephone connections with both

Baltimore and Washington and all
the neighboring towns. In addition
to the railroads, nine splendid turn
pixies enter the town, which traverse
the county in every direction and in
addition lead to important points in
other counties and States. These
turnpike roads are macadamized
with limestone and are exceedingly
smooth, affording a splendid sur
face for wheelsmen. In fact, Hag-
erstown is favorite resort of BIZ
cyclers, and there is large club in
the town with an immense building
for exercising in during bad weather
and for other purposes of the club.
LIVERY STABLES
No town can boast of finer livery
stables. 1t is famous in that regard,
and the admirable roads and streets
makes driving a popular diversion.
WATER
Liz COWl 10 SuBP11Co Will WdICI
from the breast of South Mountain.
The Water Company is a private en-
terprise, regulated to some extent
by the town, which controls its
rates and contributes $1,000 a year
to it for the use of water for fire
purposes.
The source of the water is a num-
Der of springs on the side of the
South Mountain, in an uninhabited
district, and free from any possibil-
ity of serious contamination. These
springs are conducted into a reser-
voir of a capacity of seventy millions
of gallons. Thence, it is conducted
to the town through large iron pipes
of great capacity, equal to nearly
$4,000 gallons per hour The res
ervoir is 249 feet higher than the
town, so that the pressure is enor-
nous, equaling about 80 pounds to
the square inch-suficien to force
the water into a engine boiler against
a great pressure of steam.
The water is soft and pure and
the water rents are remarkably
moderate.

Plumbers Union Head Attacks
 Pattern of Plunder

WASHINGTON, R- Secretary of Labor Durkin's stand in as head of the Plumbers Union lash ed out today at what he called the pattern of plunder" of the Eisenhower administration.
 Writing in the current issue of the unions journal, Peter n. Schoemann said:
 "Today, the pattern of plunder is designed to eradicate hard-won gains such as the minimum wage law, unemployment compensation, public power development, public housing, social security, etc. These are all under attack. Certainly the public climate forbids the expec- tation of further advances. We will do well to hold our own"
 Schoemann wrote that the work CT "had a better break during the past 20 years" in Washing ton, adding:
 ''Now Washington has changed. The administration is again in the hands of business with emphasis on big business. It has powerful voices in Congress, representa- tives in most cabinet posts and men in all important administra- tive posts. This is a formidable array.
 "As a result of the change, labor now fights on two fronts. In the states, labor fights off additional anti trust laws. In Washington labor fights a policy of plunder-plunder of resources, welfare programs, and minimum standards ."

 The longing and waiting ended as the 48 year-old cameraman known as ':Pappy" to his friends strode briskly from an air evac- uation plane after being flown here from Korea, where he was released yesterday.
 Tears welled in the eyes of Mrs. Noel but her face was bathed in a radiant smile. Pappy embraced her at the bottom of the ramp.
 Then Noel, with a wide grin spread across his tanned face, grasped his wife firmly by the arm and said:
 Come on, Toots, let's go."

US. Will Retaliate If Reds Refuse
 Return All POWs

DENVER, LR - Secretary of State Dulles said after a confer ence with President Eisenhower today that the United States prob ably would adopt reciprocal measures" if the Communists re- fuse to return some American pri- soners of war.
 Dulles left no doubt at a news conference that he meant this country would take retaliatory steps if prisoners are withheld in violation of the armistice terms.
 The secretary arrived at Eisen- hoWer's vacation headquarters after an overnight nonstop flight from Honolulu on the way back from South Korea, where he con- ferred with the president of that republic, Syngman Rhee.
 Dulles told newsmen he gave Eisenhower "a very full report" on his talks with Rhee. The sec retary then noted that a com munique released before he left Korea had said that the South Koreans had given categorical assurance" that they won't upset the newly-won armistice.
 Dulles volunteered the informa- ton that he had been most inn pressed by what he saw of the exchange of prisoners of war at Freedom Village while he was in Korea.

Celebrities Depart After Gathering
 Material To Publicize Nome Area

Glamour descended on Front Street Friday when Michael O'Shea arrived with Hollywood stars, distinguished columnists and an internationally known photographer to do Nome as they saw it.
 The party were guests of Alas ka Airlines from Portland to Nome and the return on Sunday.
 While in Nome they were guests of Paul Vaudeville at the Wallace Hotel. Their appetities were more than satisfied by meals given through the courtesy of the North Star Grill owners Ernie Gustafson and Bob Renshaw, as well as the Boring Sea Club.
 Angelic Buffas donated cab and bus service and also a beach gold banning trip. A side trip to Teller was furnished by O. w. Tosch who took the party on beach trip where they photo graphed that which is hard to believe in the States-swimming in ultra modern swim suits at just about the most westerly point in North America and right next door to the Iron Curtain.
 The whole trip originated when Michael O'Shea visited Nome as a tourist six weeks ago and liked it so well that he wanted his friends to see and publicize Nome as a wonder spot. He communi- cated with the IVA and through director George Goshaw the trip was arranged.
 In the party were:
 Danton Walker, distinguished writer for the New York Daily News and Chicago Tribune syn dicate, the only US. newspaper man selected as a ''Man of Dis tinction" to represent his pro- fession as a columnist. MT. Walk CT writes a monthly news column for SCREENLAND, one of the leading motion picture magazines distributed nationally in the US.
 Peter Perri, one of New York's leading photographers, has had his fine portraits and pictures published in LIFE, LOOK, SILL YER SCREEN, SCREENLAND, QUICK and every other m ajor periodical An expert with the camera, MT. Perri found Nome area to be without peer when it comes to pictorial resources. He is a native New Yorker and looks forward to returning to Nome early next spring.

l7 Disabled US. | Prisoners EnrOute Home By Air

PANMUNJOM, LR- Seventeen disabled but happy Americans left Tokyo by plane tonight for the US. after 37 months in North Korean prison camps.
 Another BPS Americans boarded a Navy transport in Inchon har- Dor and will sail for home tomor- row. About 1900 US. Marines are also returning home on the transport Nelson M. Walker.
 The big Air Force plane carry ing the vanguard of more than 5000 Americans scheduled to be liberated in the massive prisoner exchange, will probably set down at Travis Air Force base near San Francisco about noon Tues day. The ship probably will take about two weeks to cross the Pacific to Seattle or San Fran cisco.
 Monday saw 389 more Allied soldiers return from North Kor- can stockades - laughing, happy Americans, British, and Turks.
 The 125 Americans and 25 Turks all appeared in good condi- tion, The British, 50 in all were in excellent spirits.
 But there were grim faces among tough US. Marines who unloaded Red ambulances loaded with wasted, emaciated BOX sol diers.
 And cynical Communist press photographers largely stayed away since the South Korean liv- ing dead offered no propaganda possibilities for them.
 There were 200 non Koreans exchanged Monday. It was the first day that more non-Koreans than ROKs have been returned. Early Monday the Reds suddenly announced they were substitut- ing 25 more Americans and 25 more British for 50 South Kor- cans.
 There was speculation the Reds made the sudden switch to avoid delivering the ghaStly BOX litter cases before the eyes of India's foreign minister, R. K. Nehru.
 Nehru, a member of the neutral nations advisory commission which will oversee prisoners who refuse repatriation, reached Pan- munjom in time to witness the third hourly delivery of prison CTS. This was the exchange group that was switched by the Reds.
 Sunday nearly 475 Red nurses, wives and camp followers were repatriated in scenes of bitter violence.
 The Reds moved north, singing Communist songs, as usual.
 While Allied soldiers told of grim months under Communist captivity, Red propaganda mills broadcast stories of "brutality" in JUN. POW canns
