education in Washington. County.
Each exhibit was complete in it,
self. showing how the students were
taught, from the lowest grades up to
Senior High School, by means of the
results of the actual work done in
each classroom.
While all the exhibits were ire
mendously interesting, | was par
ticularly interested in the work Of
the Woodworking Class at Hagers-
town High, of which Clyde Bailey
is the instructor.
Last Monday a Cerebral Palsy
class was opened at the West Wash
ington Street School and the entire
equipment for the class was made
by the woodworking class referred
to above, from lumber provided by
the Hagerstown Kiwanis Club.
Chairs on wheels were built for the
cerebral palsy students; desks were
made with a cut-out in the center, so
that the students chair could be
wheeled right up to the desk and
they would still have room to stand
up in the cut-out when necessary. A
platform. with steps leading UP to it.,
was also made, on which the chill
dren could learn to climb the steps.
and a long platform, with rails on
both sides, was also built for the stu
dents to use in learning to walk.
Another very fine exhibit was the
work of the electronics class. The
exhibit took the form of complete
Ham Radio Station, using the call
letters w. }. r. L. w. and ! learned
from Mr.. William M British, Super
intendent of Schools of Washington
County, who explained the various
exhibits to me, that many of the
boys in the electronics class have been
to Washington where they passed the
government communications tests
and have received their FEC licenses.
The Pinesburg School has recent
ly been modernized, but did not
know until saw the plans in the
drafting class exhibit, that the
modernization of the school was done
completely from plans prepared by
the class.
Space will not permit me to give
detailed account of all the other
exhibits, but was struck with the
pattern making class, whose exhibit
included almost everything, from
hacksaws to teapots, that the stu
dents of the class made themselves,
all the way from the pattern to the
mold, and l must, in ending my OBJ
servation on the tour, make mention
of the complete laboratory on wheels,
built by Eugene Mittel, Science teach

Last week, in the executive office
of the Pangborn Corporation, ma
tionally known manufacturers of
blast cleaning and dust control
equipment, Thomas w. Pangborn,
president, signed papers transferring
the sum of $246, 62730 to the account
of the Pangborn Employees Profit
Sharing Fund as their share of the
corporations profit for 1858.
This brings the account held in
trust by The Equitable Trust Com
pany, Baltimore, to the accumulated
sum of $1,756,635.33.
Under terms of the Trust dedicat-
ed to Pangborn employees eleven
years ago, the funds deposited year
ly accumulate to the benefit of all
employees with five or more years
continuous service, and so continue
until he or she reaches retirement
age of IS, or he or she is laid off or
terminates employment with the
company before that age is reached,
or employment is ended by death.
Today, the high cost of living,
coupled with high personal income
tax rates, is a factor which makes it
increasingly difficult for the gainful
worker to provide substantial al
lowance for his or her retirement
years out of personal savings. Mind
full of this, the Pangborn plan, as
conceived in 1912 and put into effect
IN l943, goes long way to relieving
this hazard. Those who share in its
generosity have bulwark against

ment; and Richard Martin, director

ington County Board of Education.
The panel will concern itself with
four specific points:
l. What is the extent and nature of
crime in Hagerstown?
2. To what extent are juveniles
participating in local crime?
8. What are the causes of local
crime?
4. What we are doing now, and
what can we do in the future, to re-
duce this crime?

old age and want, that is tribute to
its originator's wisdom ad vision. AS
it works out, it is a substantial in
crease to each workers yearly base
pay and best of all, it is put away, at
compound interest, awaiting the in
evitable day when it will be most
needed.
In his message, when the plan was
inaugurated, Thomas w. Pangborn
told his employees: "This Profit
Sharing Trust is reward for faith
full service. 1t rids old age of its fears
and wants. 1t makes a steady en-
ployment with Pangborn extra de-
sirable, because it builds a retire
ment fund that grows parallel to the
years of service. This fund can new
er be recalled by the corporation.
Once deposited in trust the money is
yours = continuously earning inter
est - awaiting your future call"
The more than one million and
seven hundred and fifty thousand
dollars now in this employees fund
is unquestionable proof that the
founder of the Pangborn Corporation
planned his profit sharing trust with
wisdom and benevolence, far past
the normal expectation of thought
full employee relationship.
