PROGRESS MADE
TRIPLE CELEBRATION
TO DRAW THOUSANDS
HERE IS PREDICTION
1937 Event To Prove High-
Light In The History
of Hagerstown
As the various committees appointed
in connection with the big triple celebra
tion ,to be staged here in September,
1937, become more and more acquainted
with the plan, enthusiasm increases.
There are possibilities in store for the
demonstration, far beyond the compre
hension of any one at the present time.
The work up to now (and possibly
for some time) is in its very first stages.
As time goes on, there will be a won
drous unfolding of just what the dem
onstration will be and will mean to not
only Hagerstown and Washington coun
ty, but also to neighboring states.
The widespread importance of the
movement can be seen already in the
interest being taken in former residents
of the city and county who write for in
formation, and who intend to be here.
Some interesting features already ecan
be seen as being feasible and praectieal
ly ecrtain. In fact there are many of
them which the committee have seriously
considered. As the work of arranging
for the demonstration goes on, most
likely some things thought of may be
discarded and others not yet brought to
mind substituted. Tere is where every
body can have a part in making the dem
onstration a success. The ecommittee
invites suggestions and constructive
criticism.
It is planned making the Fairgrounds
the center of activities. There will be
an iron horse display at the B. & O.
passeneer station, similar to the one held
near Baltimore a few years ago: musie,
rarades, marking of historieal spots in
the city ana county and last but not
I"ast a hiz sham battle, ete., at the An
tietam National Cemetery, commemorat
ing the 75th anniversary of that battle
of the Civil War. There will be, in all,
five days of th demonstration. Em
badied in the event will also be the
?QOth anniversary of the settling of
Washington Connty and the 175th snni
versarv of the founding of Hagosrstown.

HAGERSTOWN, MD., FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1936
FOR E
' BIG EVENT
S e o s
LITTLE HEISKEL
i I've been tryin’ for a
i long time to think of a
great man who has made
&7 a national reputation for
e, . himself and who claims
8 N Tagerstown as his home,
but it’s no dice. About
B G the only time we made
e & the front page was when
% B, Grover Bergdoll picked
nesiicdustedt on us for a hide-out and
a place to bury that pot of gold.
In looking over the field of “squawk
ors” 1 find the guy who makes the most
noise is usually the fellow making the
most money.
Somth'mg all politicians pray for and
seldom get: A no-contest primary.
e s s
UNUSUAL?
What is reported as something un
usual in England is that market men
are using lipstick to make old hen’s look
like pullets. We don’t like to appear
“eatty,” but there’s a flock of old hens
in this country who have been doing that
same thing for years.
SOME OF 'EM WON'T FORGET
The Winter of 1936 will not scon be
forgotten by many residents of IHagers
town and Washington County, accord
ing to members of the medical profes
sien. More broken bones, the result of
falls on slippery pavements, automobile
aceidents, ete., were reported this winter
than ever before.
FEDERAL SPENDING
“Tolks who worry about ‘where the
money is coming from’ frequently break
into nrint before they know all they
should about the complicated subiect of
sovernment finaneing. The simple book-
L eping fact is that by far the greatest
part of so-called ‘spending’ in recent
vears has boen. not spending at all, but
lending. The plain truth is that despite
all the alarms raised largely for politienl
parposcs, the United States is still the
mo<t colvent instituion on earth and a
further improvement of about 25 per
cont in the volume of average business
‘etivity will colve all problems, including
reemplovment.”—Fast St. Louis, IN.,‘

CITY FATHERS WANT
TO PUT PARK BOARD
ON A SALARY BASIS
Planning to Introduce Bill
In Legislature, It Is
Reported
A bill authorizing the Mayor and City
Council of Hagerstown to fix a salary for
the Park Commissioners, has been pre
pared and will be introduced at the next
session of the Legislature, according to
reliable reports eminating from City
Hall. :
Since the establishment of City Park,
Hagorstown’s first recreational center,
the commissioners have worked without
compensation, As new parks are es
tablished their duties and responsibilities
are increasing and scveral members of
the council feel that it is unfair to the
commissioners to ask them to devote so
many hours to this work, gratis.
Wheth.r or mnot the ecommissioners
will ask for compensation is problemati
cal, but the bill is drawn up with the
provision that the Mayor and Couneil,
can, at any time, pay the commissioners
for services rendered.
POLITICIANS WILL
“BURN UP” RADIOS
IN THE 1936 BATTLE
We Suggest They “Take a
Walk” in Lieu of Calling
Each Other Names
Radio, more than ever before, will play
an important part in the coming politi
cal eampaign.
Hundreds of thousands of deollars will
be spent by the major partics. hundreds
of political speakers will b'ah-blah mil
lions of words in favor of their r-snec
tive candidates and the twenty-six mil
lion radio sets throughout the nntion
will be literally “burning up” with ae
cusations and what have you.
T.et us hope, however, that the boys
don’t get too “het un” about this eam
paign and start ealling each other nom~s
We would sugeest that the hot-headed,
angry, disgruntled and disannointed Ra
publicans and Democrats fall in behind
the Liberty League’s DBrown Deorby
when and if he takes his threatened
walk, before they arrive at the nameo
calling stage of tho cammaign.
. This ecountry ecan welle afford to do
without that type of politieal speech.
