Indian Films At
Museum Story Hour

The two films to be shown at
the Washington County Museums
Story Hour for children on Saturday
morning are correlated not only to
the subject, Our Land" but also
to the exhibition of works by Viii
liam R. Leigh, now on view at the
Museum.
The Story Hour will be held be-
tween the hours of 1000 a. m. and
1880 a. m. and following the show
ing of the films there will be the
usual studio period, during which
materials for painting, drawing and
modelling will be provided for the
use of the children.
These popular Story Hours are free
and the boys and girls of Hagerstown
and Washington County are cordially
invited to attend.
The two films, "Hopi Indians" and
"Hopi Indian Crafts" portray the
life of this tribe of Southwest In
dams, many of whom have been
used by MIR. Leigh as models. The
Tribe lives in the Grand Canyon in
Arizona and the films present the
tribal life, the crops raised, food
cooked, the arts and crafts of these
gifted people - and even their secret
marriage ceremony.

Board Of County
Commissioners

John Hall, Civil Defense Director
for Hagerstown, met with the Board
and asked their cooperation in pro-
viding adequate afraid warning
sirens (see story in News of the
City Hall'O. After a brief discus
sion, the Board voted unanimously
to provide $3,402 as its share of the
cost.
Although the new sirens will cost
$17,500, half of the amount will be
borne by the state and another
$4,000 will come from the five former
sirens already owned by the city,
which the manufacturer will take
back. This leaves approximately
$4,000, half of which the county has
agreed to pay and the other half will
be provided by the city.
The Board opened bids on the wild
ening of the bridge across the Con
oeocheague Creek near Williamsport.
Only two bids were received, one
from Bester and Long and the other
from c. William Hetzer.
Because some of the details on one
of the bids was not quite clear, the
awarding of the contract was temper
arily postponed.
The Washington Area Council of

Along The Potomac
from your Congressman,
DEWITT S. HYDE

WASHINGTON, Mar. 10 - The
House Committee on Government
Operations has reported that the fed
eral government is involved in so
many business activities it is threat
ening private industry
After completing an investigation
the committee reported the govern
ment is in manufacturing and service
industries which almost look like
classified phone book when strung
together. It's manufacturing runs
from bakery goods to sleeping bags;
its service activities from banking
to warehousing; it sells drinks and
retreads tires; it builds chairs, tables,
roads and dams.
This is nothing new - the navy
began making rope and paint for it.
self the first day it existed - but it
seems to be growing. The committee
says the government is competing,
sometimes unfairly, with private en-
terpriSe and is using tax money to
run activities which would produce
tax revenues if they were in private
hands.
Some challenging facts are listed
in the report: Government wealth
grew 278 per cent while private
wealth grew only rs per cent be-
tween 1929 and 1948 The federal
government has supplies and stores
on hand which equal or exceed the
inventories of all private business
combined. 1t owns "a per cent of the
land in the U. S. It's the largest in
surer, the largest lender, the largest
warehouse operator, the largest ship
owner and the largest truck fleet
operator.
Witness after witness from various
government agencies spoke up to JUS
tify their business activities, but the
committee found their reasons"
turned out in many cases to be sex
cuses." Many agencies seemed to be
trying to be self-sufficient and
manage their own sources of SUD-
plies, but their accounting proceed
ures often showed faults which gave
wrong impressions of the economy
of their operations.
A minority of the committee mem
bers labeled the report as an
"alarmist essay" a viewpoint which
l do not share. But I do agree with
them in one conclusion - that fed
eral institutions generally are es-
tablished because the people ask for
them. This reminds us again that
in a republic it is the duty of the
citizen to see that his government
remains his servant, not his master.

Washington County suffered it's
first fatal accident of 1854 on Tues
day night, when a 76-year-old man,
Charles o. Smith, of 108 East Balti-
more Street, in crossing the street,
was hit by a mail truck
Police who investigated the tragic
accident stated that there was APP
parently no negligence on the part of
the mail truck driver, as the elderly
man apparently darted into the path
of the truck and was struck by the
right front fender.
l doubt if there is another county
in the whole country, of comparable
population, that can even approach
the remarkable record of Washing
ton County when it comes to provid-
ing funds for any worthwhile COM
munity undertaking.
The annual Red Cross Fund and
Membership Drive, just completed,
is the latest example of the gener-
osity of the people of Hagerstown
and the entire County Called upon
to raise $28,295, so that the fine work
of the Red Cross could be adequate
ly carried on for the ensuing year,
our citizens not only met the quota,
but exceeded it by some eight
hundred dollars.
But world of credit should also
go, in this and all the other fund
raising drives, to that army of vol
unteer workers who mango to find
the time to make the personal solicit
tations, without which no drive can
succeed.
Truly our community is a wonder
full place in which to live and make
a living.
Although the Primaries are not I'M
til June %, it is not too early to be
thinking about who will run for the
various offices that we will vote on.
Personally, I am a great believer
in an Open Primary because I feel
that the whole purpose of Primary
is to give the voters of both parties
an opportunity to weigh the quail
ficatlonS of all candidates and select,
from them, the candidates they want
to represent their Party in the No
vember elections.
Because of this, l am against Cen
trail Committees trying-as is too
often the case-to handpick a candi-
date for each Office and then try to
dissuade anyone else in the party
from running.
The Primaries, in my book, belong
to the people and Central Commit
tees should stay out of them alto
gether - both openly and behind
locked doors.
The time for Central Committees
to step into the picture is after the
Primaries are over, when they should
unite behind the candidates selected
in open primaries and work, as
team, to get them elected.
Through the cooperation of the
State, the Mayor and Council and
the Board of County Commissioners,
Hagerstown and the nearby areas,
will, in the near future, he provided
with an adequate Air Raid Warming
System. The total cost of the system,
will be $17,500, half Of which will be
borne by the State, with the re-
mainder being divided between the
city and county.

Mr.. Hall was instructed to appear
before the Board of County Commits
sioners at their next regular meet
ing; explain the plan to them and
ask their cooperation in financing it,
after which he was to report back to
the Council for further action.
Editors Note: Mr.. Hall met with
the Board on Tuesday and they
agreed to go along with the City on
a $3.50 basis.
Traffic Committee
George Tingle, chairman of the
Mayors Traffic Commiee, placed be-
fore the Council a comprehensive
study, made by the committee, of the
trafice problem at the intersection
of Pennsylvania and Prospect Ave
nues.
Mr.. Tingle stated that his COM
mittee has had this bad situation
under study for some six months and
has consulted with the State Roads
Commission, The General Electric
Company, the Eagle Signal Corp.
and Hagerstown's Signal Engineer,
Ralph Coombs, all of whom are
agreed that a special traffic signal
at the intersection is the most logical
solution.
After brief discussion, the Coun-
Gil instructed the Board of Public
Works to carry out the recommended
ton of the Traffic Committee and
arrange for this special traffic signal
to be installed as soon as possible.
However, due to the time needed
for its manufacture, delivery and
installation, it will probably be Aul
gust or September before it can be
put into operation.
Municipal Stadium
The Council instructed the citv
engineer to proceed Immediately
with the renovating and repairing of
the Municipal Stadium grandstand
and the work has already begun. MIR.
Williams, the city engineer, stated
that when the repairs are made, new
roofing put on, and the entire grand
stand painted, it will be solid and
safe structure for some time to
come. a
The sum of $4,000 for this work is
included in the city's 1854 budget.

Civil Defense Sirens

John Hall, Hagerstown Civil De-
tense Director, discussed at some
length with the Mayor and Council,
the matter of placing sirens in stra-
tegic points in the city.
Mr.. Hall stated that, at a recent
meeting with Federal and State Of
ficials of Civil Defense, he was told
that the five air raid sirens, bought
by the city year or more ago, can
not adequately do the job and he re-
quested that the Council authorize
the return of these sirens to the
manufacturer and their replacement
by five much more powerful sirens.
In making the request, MIR. Hall
stated that the net cost to the city
for this change-over would be about
$4,000. He also pointed out that
there was only $4,000 available for
sirens in the 1854 budget.
At the suggestion of the Mayor.

The regular monthly meeting of
the Mayor and Council was held at
the City Hall on Thursday night,
with the opening prayer being given
by the Rev. G. Barlow Harris, min
lister of the First Baptist Church.
Here are the highlights of the
meeting:
Daylight Saving
The Council voted unanimously to
put the city on daylight saving time
again this year, from the last Sunday
in April until the last Sunday in
September
Marshall Street Re-ZOning
In accordance with the provisions
of the Zoning Ordinance, a public
hearing was held on a proposal to
change a section of Marshall Street
from heavy industry to residential.
There being no objection, the Mayor
and Council unanimously passed an
ordinance authorizing the change.
The Blue Cross
Miss Madaline Dermody, local rep
resentative of the Blue Cross, appear
ed before the Mayor and Council to
request that the present method of
collecting dues from employees of
the city, who are members of the
Blue Cross, be changed.
At present, various employees of
the city act as treasurers for the Blue
Cross and collect the dues from their
fellow employees. Miss Dermody
asked that this method be discon-
tinued and that the dues be paid by
payroll deductions.
In making the request, she stated
that the payroll deduction is neces-
sary before the city employees can
get the benefits of the Blue Shield
provisions available to policyholders.
After some discussion, the Council
voted to authorize the change TO
payroll deductions as soon as the
new accounting system is placed in
operation. This is expected to be
done within the next few months.
Frederick Street Alley
Maxwell Yingling, president of the
Yingling Auto Sales and Service
Company, appeared before the Coun-
ell with the request that the city take
over and maintain the alley next to
his place of business on Frederick
Street, which is now private prop
erty.
In making his request, Mr.. Wing
ling stated that he would be willing
to deed the necessary land to the city
so that it might possibly link the
alley to another alley at the rear of
his premises, thus making a through
alley to Mulberry Street. The alley
is at present used for Mr.. Yingling's
employees to park their cars at the
back of the plant and it is also used
as an entrance and exit by a number
of private garage owners.
The Council took the matter under
advisement and will make their de-
cision known at a later date.
Donations
The Council voted $3.50 to the Red
Mems Lodge, to help defray expenses
of their forthcoming convention here,
and then followed their annual Gus
tom of voting 5000 to the current Red
Cross Fund and Membership Drive.
Union Recognition
At previous meeting of the May
or and Council, both the CLIO and
AFL Unions were recognized as bar
gaining agents for their members.
but it was made plain at the time that
this did not include members of eth
er the police force or fire depart
ment.
Mayor Burhans pointed out, how
ever, that in the actual motion that
was passed, no mention was made of
the exclusion of the police officers or
