SPORTS CLOSE-UPS
BY FRITZ POLLARD

NEW YORK - They call him
Hurricane Jackson, because his
unorthodox style, his amazing
agility for his size, and the
fact that he fails out in all
directions with dynamite la
den gloves, his madeN him a
battling opponent.
But up to last Monday night,
he hadn't met Jimmy Slade, a
young New Yorker who didn't
seen at all baffled by Jackson's
style. Somewhere Slade had
learned how to duck, bob and
weave, and catch his opponent
SO off guard that the force of
q blow intended for him would
simply hurl Jackson against the
ropes, In fact, the bout at Sc
yeral points had the appearance
of a wrestling match, with both
fighters bouncing off the ropes,
out Of the ring, and with Jack
son at times performing in an
almost comic manner.
The crowd at Eastern Park
way Arena had come with the
expectation of seeing this new
Hurricane blow his opponent
away with little if any diff
Guilty. The odds were 1875 in
his favor. But Slade outboxed
him from beginning to end,
and won a unanimous decision.
He is now the New York State
heavyweight champion and his
followers are jubilant because
he has been in there pitching
for a long time, and up to
this point had not met with
q, great deal of success, always
losing decisions by hairs
breadth.
But now Slade his come into
his own and has had a chance
to display some of his real
boxing skill. AS for the Hurri-
cane, he's still quite a fighter.
Somebody just has to teach
him how to box.

railroad crossings on Virginia Ave
nue. and Wilson Boulevard and sug-
gested that this could be helped con-
siderably if the city built a street
that would connect with the two
streets at points on the Hagerstown
side of the tracks.
Mr.. Knight pointed out that motor
lists going out Virginia Avenue, who
want to turn into Wilson Boulevard,
have to cross the Virginia Avenue
tracks and then cross the railroad
again when they turn into Wilson
Boulevard
An intersecting street would elm
mate Wilson Boulevard motorists
having to wait when the trains were
crossing the two streets.
City engineer Williams said that
the cost of building such a street
would not be too expensive, but he
added that the big cost would prob
ably come from the acquiring of the
necessary properties for rights-of-
way.
At the suggestion of Councilman
Knight, the city engineer was asked
to further study the problem, par
ticularly as to the cost of the rights
of-way.

From then on their rise was rapid.
America was becoming automotive-
minded. The gasoline engine was
making a new industrial empire and
plants were springing up in every
industrial city in the land. More
and more iron and steel was needed
to build these "horseless carriages
and more and more was the need for
equipment that could clean the metal
parts that were used in their manu-
facture.
'Pangborn's part in progress" was
keeping pace with this need. The
Pangborn brothers employed skilled
engineers to develop new, improved
equipment, skilled craftsmen and
mechanics to build their machines;
and constantly enlarged their sales
force and sales territories to grow
with this new industrial enterprise
Hagerstown knows of their sue
cess. It is proud of the more than

will celebrate it's Golden Anniver-
sary.
Thomas w. Pangborn, president,
founded the corporation on the first
day of that month, back in 1904. The
first office was opened on Day Street
in downtown New York. No auto
mobiles or motor trucks blocked the
narrow streets of the metropolis in
those days, but the electric trolley car
was just starting to need iron and
steel castings, as did steam engines
and horse-drawn dray trucks, and
young Tom Pangborn decided he
could do something to improve them.
Blast cleaning was his pet dream and
by persistent effort and work he soon
became an important cog in the man
ufaeturing process of these products
His brother, John c. Pangborn,
joined him the following year and
together they saw their small bust
ness start taking shape.
Soon they had to move to Jersey
City. Then they outgrew those 1arg-
err quarters. Searching for facilities
to meet expanding requirements,
they were referred to Hagerstown as
a site for their business. In 1912 they
moved their small manufacturing
plant here.

Richard Wilson
Is Kiwanis Speaker
Gives Interesting Account OF
Operation OF City Water De-
partment.

Richard c. Wilson, superintendent
of the City Water Department, who
was the guest speaker at Thursdays
meeting of the Kiwanis Club told his
audience that while, at the present
time, one-third of the city's water
comes from the mountain reservoir,
with the other two-t thirds being
pumped from the Potomac River,
the mountain reservoir will have to
be closed down again, unless there is
a really good rain within the next
week.
He has since announced that effec-
tive Immediately, the mountain wa
ter supply has been reduced from two
and half million gallons day to
half million gallons a day
The meeting, held in the Hotel
Alexander, was presided over by
Oscar Hartsock, the retiring presi-
dent, who also introduced the speak
er. Guests included several XII
wanians and Mayor Winslow F.
Burhans.
During the meeting it was an
nounced that the installation of the
newly elected officers will be held
next week and that the annual Ladies
Night will be held on Thursday,
January Il.
Mr.. Wilson, who spoke on ''Ha-
gerstown's Heaviest Industry"
stated that the water department
used, IN December of 1853, 28,500
tons, or 100000 gallons of water a
day.
Turning to the dollar revenue of
the department, the speaker said
that in 1941 the gross revenue was
$235,O0O while in 1858 it was $780,
900.
Discussing the water rates, Mr..
Wilson pointed out that Hagers-
town property pay 30c L.
900 gallons for the water they use
and that is the identical rate that
was charged in 1918. He then went
on to say that the increase in
revenue through the years has been
brought about by: % increase in the
number Of homes built in Hagers-
town, ~ the increased rates charged
the large industrial users, (3) the
revenue from water supplied outside
the city limits, and az the saving
made by the correction of leakages
Enlarging on this, Mr.. Wilson
pointed out that property owners
outside the city pay a rate that is
around SIS per cent higher than that
charged Hagerstown property own
ers.
He then told his audience that in
1916 a systematic check for leak
ages was made throughout the en-
tire water system, resulting in the
amazing fact that the city was losing
million gallons of water a day
Needless to say, this terrific losS
was Immediately stopped and as E
result, the city obtained its full
revenue from the million gallons thai
had been, as the saying goes, "goine
down the drain"
The speaker also pointed out that
whereas the city lost very heavy
water user when the Western Mary
land Railway converted to desc
engines, this was practically offse+
/ by the increased housing develop
ment. In explaining this, the speak
| er stated that the Western Maryland
only paid 15c thousand gallons, az
against 30c thousand gallons paic
by the owners of the new homes
that have been built.
At the end of his talk, the speaker
answered a number of questions
from the floor.

Much as l wanted to attend Tues
day nights meeting of the Young
Republican Club, during which a
panel discussion on the city's finances
was held, l was unable to make 1t.
The recent snowstorm slowed me
down considerably and / found, that
by the time l got home for supper
each night, l was just about done.
The old ticker, although slowed down
bit, is still doing fine job, but it
expects me to do my part too and
not overload it unnecessarily.
understand that the two Repub-
lican Councilmen, Norman Ayers and
Jacob Vorous; former Mayor Herman
L. Mills and City auditor John x.
Baker, III, took part in the discussion
and that although, as was to be ex-
pected, the Democratic Administra-
ton came in for quite bit of criti-
cism, the discussion, with Paul OF
finger as Moderator, was conducted
on a high plane throughout.
Lloyd Kuhn arranged the pro-
gram, and the president of the club,
Evan Crossley, presided at a short
business session.
The news that a new test has been
developed that will, it is understood,
diagnose Polio within II hours, has
given new hope to not only those
who are devoting their lives to fight
ing this dread disease, but also to the
millions of parents whose children
could be struck down with it.
This new hope should be an in
centive to all of us to give all we can
to the March of Dimes campaign now
being held in Washington County, as
well as all over the nation, as it will
take lot of money to complete the
development of the new test, so that
it can be in the hands of the doctors
and. nurses in the shortest possible
time.
So, if you haven't already done so,
won't you please make liberal
donation, right away.
Some sort of a record was made
at the January meeting of the Mayor
and Council, held in the City Hall
last Thursday night.
When Mayor Burhans called the
meeting to order, the only ones
present were: The Mayor, the five
members of the Council; the city
clerk, the city engineer, the city at
torney, the city auditor, the Rev.
Charles M. LeFew and the members
of the press. However, shortly after
Mr.. LeFew had given the Invocation,
one lone taxpayer showed up.
In the more than twelve years that
I have been covering the meetings of
the Mayor and Council, l cannot
remember attending a meeting at
which less than five or six taxpayers
were present.
For a report of the meeting, see
News OF The City Hail." elsewhere
on this page.
On Friday afternoon made call
at the Dancer Metal Works to see
Roy Dancer, Jr., who was busy at
the time.
While waiting, l told couple of
my store of stories, after which Roy
turned to Miss Stickell and said,
Can you take care of Douglas?" to
which I added, "why didn't you add,
so we can get rid of him"
At this point, Mr.. Roy Dancer, Sr,,
came out of his office and handed me
a package wrapped in tissue paper
and at the same time, turned to his
son and said: "This is the best way
know to get rid of him" When l
opened the package, found it was a

English Bulldog pipe.
P. S. Does anyone else want to
