Around Town With
The Editor

It is good to see the fine spirit of
cooperation between Mayor Winslow
F. Burhans and the members of his
Council.
Faced with the unpleasant job of
having to postpone some vitality
needed projects, due to provision not
being made for them in the 1858
budget, all the members of the Coun-
Gil, at the special meeting held on
Monday morning, which you will
find fully reported elsewhere on this
page, tackled the problem, not from
the point of view of their own par
ticular wards, but for the good of
the entire city - and that's as it
should be.
Another thing that is noticeable
about the present administration, is
their desire to keep the taxpayers
fully acquainted with everything
that is going on.
On the back page you will find an
open letter from Gene Raney, own
er of the Hagerstown Braves, which
l hope you will not only read, but
will take the time to reply to.
The announcement made by Mana
ger Dorman, late Monday night, that
Joe Blake who, after a slow start,
has been one of the sparkplugs of
the club Che is the leading hitter)
had been sold to the Yakima Club
of the Western International League,
and that Ed Lenthe, a righthanded
pitcher, had been sold to Wichita
Falls Club in Texas, came as some
thing of shock to the fans. When
talked to Mr.. Raney at his home
in Kensington on Tuesday morning
about it, he told me that he was con-
tacting Manager Dorman regarding
the matter and would probably have
a statement to make later-and it
was not long in coming.
Tuesday night Mr.. Raney announc-
ed that the sale of both players had
been personally cancelled by him
and that both Blake and Lenthe
were expected to join the club at
Lynchburg yesterday.
Don't be surprised if MIR. Raney
has another important statement to
make when the club returns home
on Monday.
This action by Mr.. Raney shows
very definitely that he wants to do
everything in his power to satisfy
the baseball fans and give them
winning ball club, and I hope that
the fans will stick by him and start
the turnstiles really clicking again.

Kiwanians Shown Pictures Of War Torn
South Korea At Their Luncheon Meeting
DR.. Joseph Allen Who Spent ii Months There Describes
Terrible Sanitary Conditions And Their Causes

The members of the Kiwanis Club,
at their regular weekly luncheon
meeting, held at the Hotel Alexand-
er on Thursday, saw a series of col
ored slides of war-torn South Korea,
some of which were almost unbe-
lievable.
The slides, with a running COM
mentary, were shown by DR.. J. JOS
eph Allen, who returned recently
from 14-month tour of duty in Ko-
rea with the 9th Army Command
under General VanFleet. DR.. Allen
served overseas as chief of bac-
teriology, parasitology and immun-
ology with the First Medical Field
Laboratory.
The meeting was presided over by
president Oscar Hartsock and the
speaker was introduced by Samuel
L. Greenawalt, chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee, which
arranged the program.
DR.. Allen began his interesting
program with a series of slides taken
in Seoul, the capital of South Korea
which, during the war, has changed
hands five times.
Apart from the NTH and squalor,
the slides showed the complete dew
astation of the city. Practically ev-
cry building in the capital was re-
duced to rubble. This reporter, dur
ing World War I, spent some time
in London, England, and never, even
during the heights of the Zeppelin
raids, was there anything like the
utter destruction of Seoul.
This was followed by series of
pictures of Pusan at the lower tip
of the Korean peninsula which,
while just as filthy as Seoul, showed
very little damage. Moving over to
Taegu, one got an insight into the
tremendous overcrowding of all the
Korean cities. This town, although
much smaller than Hagerstown, has
a population of over five hundred
thousand.
The slides closed with some amaz-
ing pictures taken by DR.. Allen in
side the infamous prison camp on the
island of Koji, taken during the
height of the prisoner riots there.
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1953-06-18

DR.. Allen got inside the compound
by convincing the North Korea riot
ers that he was sent in to see what
could be done to help them. One of
the slides showed a group of rioting
prisoners on top of the stockade,
brazenly waving their red flags and
shouting defiance, and the final pic
ture showed the Doctor making a
hurried exit from the compound as
one of the leaders of the rioters
started to go after him.
In his commentary, DR.. Allen
stated that all of South Korea was
hot-bed of disease. Sanitary con-
ditions were indescribable. Garbage
was piled up in the streets; pools of
stagnant water were everywhere,
and food stuffs were actually sold
practically in the midst of the filth.
DR.. Allen pointed out that one of
the basic causes of disease in the
country was the fact that the Ko-
reans use human excreta as a fer
tilizer, without pre-treatment of any
kind, thus breeding disease into the
foods as they are grown in the
fields.
DR.. Allen will leave shortly for
lectures at number of prominent
universities throughout the country,
where the results of his research in
the fields of bacteriology and para
sitology in Korea will be studied.

Mayor And Council Face Problem Of How
To Handle Projects Not In The SO Budget
Mayor WinsIow Burhans Tells Council At Special Meeting
That Only $15O,OO0 Is Available While Projects Totalng
About Half Million Are Urgently Needed.

voted to appropriate this sum also
from the surplus.
Then came the question of what
other projects should be started i'm
mediately and the Council voted
unanimously to appropriate $4,000
for the surfacing of Devonshire Road,
which has been a bone of contention
for several years, and their final
action was the voting of another
$1,000 to surface Main Avenue in the
Westview Homes section.
Thus out of the $150,000 surplus,
$4,000 was ordered used as follows:
Engineers fee for
light plant -------------- S 5000
Ash tank for light plant -- 10000
Work completed on streets,
etc. (notsin 1858 budget 49, $4,000
Su1facing Devonshire Road -- $4,000
Surfacing Main Avenue ---- 1000
Total --------- S85. 900
This leaves a balance of $4,000
in the surplus fund, which will be
held in reserve until all five mem
bers of the Council have had an OPP
portunity to study the needs of their
respective wards and report back
concerning them at the next meet
ing of the Mayor and Council.
Before adjourning, the Council re-
quested Mr.. Wilson, Superintendent
of the Water Department, to make
an analysis of the number of water
meters installed in old dwellings
since the first of the year and how
many more he expected to install
before the end of the year, and he
was asked to have this analysis
available to the Council at their
next meeting.
This matter was brought to- the
attention of the Council by Council
man Vorous, who said that some
thirty per cent of the houses in Ha-
gerstown were unmetered and he
felt that the city was losing money,
since these homes only paid the min
imum water rate. Mr. Wilson point
ed out, however, that the correct
figure was about twenty-five per
cent.
