Santa Claus Inc. To
Use Only New Toys
Decision Made Because OF Lack
OF Volunteer Help In Repairing
Broken Toys.

James I, Jim" Dudley, president
of Santa Claus Inc, has announced
that due to the increasing difficulty
in finding volunteers with both the
time and skill required for repairing
the hundreds of toys donated, this
part of the fine job being done by
Santa Claus Inc. every year, has
been discontinued.
Needless to say, however, the dis
tribution of toys and treats to needy
youngsters in the community will be
continued, the only difference being
that the organization asks this year.
that only new or reconditioned toys
be donated.
Mr.. Dudley also pointed out that
as Santa Claus Inc. is now an agency
of the Community Chest, funds will
be available to purchase toys, in the
event that sufficient numbers are not
donated. He also stated that any,
body wishing to donate toys - re-
membering of course, that this year
they must be either new or recondi-
toned - can deliver them to his
office at the Dixie Press, 806 Freder-
lex Street.

Congressman Hyde Tells Kiwanians Of
The Problems Of A Rookie Congressman
Representative From Sixth Congressional District Also
His Predictions On What VII Happen During The Next Session
Of Congress.

Republican Congressman Dewitt
S. Hyde, of the Sixth Congressional
District of Maryland, of which Wash
ington County is a part, was the
guest speaker at the weekly lunch
con meeting of the Kiwanis Club,
held in the Hotel Alexander on
Thursday.
In the absence of president Oscar
Hartsock, who was out of town, the
meeting was presided over by vice
president Herman B. Hopes.
Special guests at the luncheon
were the presidents, vice-presidents
and secretaries of all the Clubs in
the Ninth Division, who were in Ha-
gerstown attending a work Con-
ference" of the Ninth Division, con-
Quoted by Walter M. Daniels, Lieut..
Governor elect of the Division.
Congressman Hyde, who was in
troduced by Joseph S. Ward, spoke
on 'The Problems of a Freshman
Congressman"
Mr.. Hyde started off by saying that
he was fortunate in having Senator
j. Glenn Beall available to give him
some real advice and start him off
ON the right foot. He was told first
and foremost, that he should get him
self good secretary and he was
lucky enough to secure the services
of Mrs. Anne Smith of Montgomery,
County, former secretary of Senator
Beall, Congressman Deverieux of
Maryland, and Congressman Judd of
Minnesota.
The speaker then said that the next
problem facing a rookie congress
man, is getting an office in which to
work, as there are not enough offices
in the two House Office Buildings to
accommodate all the Congressman,
with the result that some of them
have to work in offices in the base
ment.
Because of this, rookie congress-
men have to draw number from a
hat and of course, the lower the
number drawn, the better office they
get. Mrs. Smith soon proved her
worth, Mr.. Hyde said, as she drew
number four out of the hat, with the
result that he was allotted office No.
1921 on the seventh floor of the new
House Office Building.
The next problem facing the Con-
gresham, was that of appointments
to committees, and here again, Mr..
Hyde stated, he was more than for
tunate, since he was appointed to the
Judiciary Committee, one of the
three most important committees in
the House, the other two being, Ways
and Means and Appropriations.
Congressman Hyde said that he
was also appointed to the District of
Columbia Committee and he pointed
out that this committee is a very i'm
portant one for the dairy farmers of

uation that had caused quite bit
of unrest and controversy.
Prior to October l, 1858, members
of the Police Force and the paid Fire
Department received full pay when
injured in the line of duty, but en-
ployees of all other departments of
the city who incurred injuries while
at work, were only paid so per cent
of the regular pay during the time
they were absent from their duties
because of those injuries. However,
effective October l, 1858, members of
the Police Force and the paid Fire
Department were also placed on the
60 per cent basis, through an order
of the Board of Public Works, given
on the recommendation of the per-
sonnet officer, who felt that all en-
ployees of the City should be put on
an equal basis.
The Council heard a very thorough
explanation by City Attorney Ed
ward Oswald of the provisions of
both the Workers Compensation Act
and the Maryland State Accident
Commission, during which Mr. Os-
wald explained that, as the City of
Hagerstown operated as a Self In
sured Agency, it was required, under
both laws, to live up to at least the
minimum requirements of the two
State laws, but neither of them pro-
hibit the City from going beyond
those minimum requirements. With
this explained to them the Council
lost no time in passing the resolution
granting all employees of the City,
full pay in accident cases.
The ever increasing traffic prob
lem, which is being carefully and
thoroughly studied by the City's
Traffic Commission, was again
brought to the attention of the Mayor
and Council by Richard Grumbacher,
one of the members of the commits
sion, who among other suggestions,
recommended that the Council auth
orize tWo-hour parking on the East
Side only of King Street, between
Baltimore and Antietam Streets.
Mr.. Grumbacher stated that his
committee had received numerous
complaints regarding the difficulty
of parking ON King Street, by those
wishing to enter the Hospital, either
on business or to visit the patients.
The suggestion brought about
quite a lengthy discussion, during
which Councilman Ralph Fiery was
appointed to talk to officials of the
Hospital with view toward having
more parking facilities provided on
the Hospital grounds. The Council
then voted unanimously to send the
suggestion of the traffic commission
to the Board of Public Works for
their action.
George w. Tingle, chairman of the
Traffic Commission, and his fellow
members, are to be congratulated on
the thoroughness with which thev
are approaching this serious prob
lem, which is now becoming nation
wide.
