toe THE DAILY MAIL, HAGERSTOWN, MX, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1946. Red Cross Starts Work At Hospital Branches Resume Activity Unaer Veteran's Ad- ministration Set-Up. 'Hospital trips to Mariansbnrg were resumed this week when the Red Cross received word to send representatives of their volunteer services to the Newton Baker Hos- pital, now under the direction of the Veteran's Administration. The call for Gray Ladies was an- swered by a group of veteran work- srs, headed by chairman, Mrs. J.

O. Funkhouser, who applied for ward Tuesday. Following the cus- comary routine, the corps will con- tinue their trips, working in two separate shifts each Monday and Wednesday. Compared to the sched- ule under Army regulations, the -program for volunteer branches has been sliced considerably. While 12 to 16 Gray Ladies were request- ed for the three shifts a day pro- gram during the war, the require- ment has now dropped to five vol- unteers a day.

Until plans are organked, the hospital, in its early stages under the VA set-up, is operating with four wards. As yet, only 97 pa- tients, all of them veterans of World War have been admitted for treatment On. the nursing staff are 32 nurses. To aid in caring for the veterans, another Red Cross branch was re- cruited this week. On Tuesday morning, a group of nurses' aides gathered at the Hotel Alexander to make the trip to the hospital.

Al- though no definite schedule has been outlined, this section will of- fer their assistance once a week. Attending a special meeting at the hospital today will be Mrs. Leo Miller and Mrs. Russell Zentmyer, who win be present for the discus- sion on resuming camp and hospi- tal activities. Miss Mildred -Biddle, Cypress street, will leave tomorrow for Roanoke, where she will spend her Thanksgiving vacation.

for night's stop-over, it provides a real treat for the teen-agers lounging around the social room. On Monday evening, a roguish character, clad in a bright plaid shirt and cowboy hat, strutted into the lobby. Within an hour, he was surrounded by a group of boys, whose wide-eyed expressions had the old man unravelling tales of his travels. But their jaws dropped John's is a landscape painting that with amazement when, in a "can you top this" manner, he rattled off the names of the 48 states in 18 seconds. To climax his show, went over to the pool table and showed the gang his trick billiard shots.

On election day, the Democrats weren't the only ones with the name "Preston" on the tip of their tongues. At the Washing- ton County Hospital, the Carl W. Guessfords Way, were anxiously awaiting the arrival of Sir Stork. When the infant weighed in at 9:30 a. his par- ents tagged him Preston C.

for our own William Preston Lane, now governor-elect of Maryland. To give you an idea of what the Dutch lassies are like, John Schill- ing, Williamsport, Route 2, assured us that they are the most friendly and contented girls that he has en- countered in his travels with the Merchant Marine. The majority of the girls, he added, are blonde, ranging in height from 5'5" to 5'7" tall. And their clothes, he continued, are- patterned similar to ours except that they feature two-tone dresses with dark skirts and bright blouses. Quest- tioned about their footwear, he ex- plained that some of the poverty- stricken class cling to the tradition sic.

And, surprisingly enough, they are real jitterbugs, too." Returning to the States Novem- ber 6, the young sailor brought with him a handful of souvenirs, among them two boxes of tulip bulbs, which sell for 50 cents a box. Right now, John is busy distribut- ing the gifts to friends around town, but with one regret. There are no black bulbs included in the assortment.

Miss Catherine Beachley, vice- principal and director of guidance at the Hagerstown High School, introduced the series by speaking on "Knowing The course, under the guidance department, is a program consist- ing of the discussion of such things as the value of friendship, being economical, good citizenship, ap- preciation of art and music. Mrs. Weagley, who is also the national president or the Associat- ed Wpmen of the American Farm Bureau, stated that there is noth- ing more fortifying for a person- ality than a deep and abiding in- terest" and concern for people. She quoted from Aristotle, who wrote in the Greek more than 2,000 years ago, "All men desire by nature to "It is only through a mutual development of intelligence and character that the possibilities of life can be realized," the speaker continued. of life's-greater values are those which cannot be computed in dollars and cents, but those that are in the forms of friendships and personal contacts."

Reassured, John flashed a broad grin and then drawled: you probably won't believe it, but their favorite he purchased for three packs of cig- arettes.

Margaret Howard, one of the veteran workers who had learned from previous experience that it pays to be persistent, repeatedly caiied on an elderly gentleman in Halfway, each time finding no answer.

Upon making the fourth call, the old man appeared at the door. Welcoming Mrs. Howard with a broad smife, he said: "I'm so glad you did find me home at last, and I'm so glad you brought me a red feather. I've felt perfectly naked walking around the street without one. Everyone eise is wearing one but me." Note the moral of this story is "If at once you don't succeed, try, try again." The dance at the high school Friday evening was a roaring suc- cess, according to the students.

When asked that familiar question, "Did you have a good time?" the crowd unanimously cried, "Just swell." "What was so special about it was the fact that Dr. Myleham danced with the crowd, 'making us feel that he belonged in the party. And the other teachers were as sociable," many students claimed.
