Wonder how much longer it will
be before work is started on the
Washington County Chronic Dis
ease Hospital?
How does he do it?
Although there were over seventy
members of the Kiwanis Club and
their guests at the clubs annual stag
party held at the American Legion
Home on Monday night, it remained
for Roy Letter to be the Star" of
the show
Entertainment was provided by a
very clever novelty music act which
really brought the house down"
The lady in the act, before it had
hardly started, made a Decline for
Roy and literally showered him with
her affections.
Then as if that wasn't enough, she
kept on making love" to him all
through the act to the huge delight
of everyone - especially Walter
Daniels, who so often is the "butt" of
Kiwanis jokes.
For number of weeks a commit
tee representing the city of Hagers-
town, the Hagersiown Housing Corp
Grafton and a group of property
owners on Radcliffe Avenue, have
been meeting from time to time in
an endeavor to straighten out rath-
er serious plumbing situation in
some of the homes concerned.
Unfortunately, the negotiations re-
ceived a severe setback through a
series of letters sent by the Hagers-
town City Plumbing Board to the
home owners that, in my opinion,
was i'll advised to say the least of it.
am, however, happy to be able to
report that these letters have been
withdrawn and now, perhaps, the
negotiations can be continued on am
amicabIe basis for all concerned, so
that an equitable settlement of this
unfortunate matter can be arrived
at.
This is United Nations Week and
local committee, headed by Mrs.
w. J. Physioc, has worked hard to
bring the importance If the United
Nations TO the attention of the peo-
pie of Hagerstown and Washington
County.
The committee has set up Head
quarters in the Abe Martin grocery
store on the Square, where they
have literature that you are welcome
to at any time. Special programs
are being put on in the schools ali
through the week and there is a
really attractive exhibit on display
in the windows of the Matthias Miller
Travel Agency, that strongly urge
you to see.
The exhibit was arranged by Miss
Margaret Snyder, assisted by Mrs.
Mary baylor.
Another feature of the week is a
series of radio broadcasts that may
be heard over WEI and WARK.
Congratulations to Milton Por-
terrified and Claude Potterfield on
being elected president and vice
president, respectively, of the South
Hagerstown Fire Company. They
couldn't have named two finer men.
Congratulations, also to Mr.. and
Mrs. Samuel C. King, ST., on their
55th wedding anniversary, which
they celebrated on Sunday.
/ have been a "Dodger" fan for
a long time, but I'm through with
them now.
Their firing of 'Chuck" Dresser
for that's exactly what it was j
after winning two straight pennants,
was about the cheapest thing l have
heard of in long, long time. Despite
the excuse that Dresser was let
out because he would not accept
one-year contract, it was pretty gen
orally known over a month ago, that
Chuck was out unless the Dodgers
won the World Series.
Is anyone naive enough to believe
that, if the Dodgers won the World
Series, Dresser would have refused
a two or three-year contract? AS
the saying goes, don't make me
laugh, I've got cracked lip"
