Community Club Active.
Important Meeting Held And
Officers Elected.

Many important. questions were freely
discussed Tuesday evening last at the
regular meeting of the Community Club,
and committees were appointed to work
on certain plans that will mean much to
our community.
The State Road through town seems
assured, as the town commissioners have
taken up this important matter and it is
believed there will be sufficient: funds
available to carry out the plans.
The Business Mems Association was
organized with the following officers:
NJ. Luther Creager, President; Peter N.
Hammaker, v. President; Leo. M. Cree
ger, Secretary. As this is an auxiliary
of the club treasurer was not elected.
The agriculture, literary and music
committees are to hold special meetings
during the week, and it is expected these
auxiliarys will be ready for organization
at our next meeting Tuesday evening,
March Goth.
We are adding to our roster each week
and we solicit the membership of every
public spirited citizen of the community.
Our dues are $500 per year, payable
quarterly in advance, and application

FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week March 10. David Belasco's new
comedy success
"SEVEN CHANCES"
with original Belasco cast.
"Seven Chances" David Belasco's new
comedy success with a running record of
merry success of six months at the Bel
asco and Cohan Theatres. New York, is
announced at Ford's with the original
cast which is notable, and has been de-
lighting large audiences in New York for
half year. Hailed by the New York
critics as the smartest play of the season,
"Seven Chances" is a sparkling comedy
of courtship. The plot concerns young
bachelor and woman hater who is obliged
to marry by his thirtieth birthday in or
der to gain large fortune left him under
that condition by his grandfather.
Seven girls refuse his offer of marriage
and it is not until the time for complying
with the terms of the will has almost
been exhaused, that he and the girl with
whom he has really fallen in love are
brought together
1t is a most delightful play, with its
quick action, its romance and sparkling
comedy, in fact one of the most attrac-
tive successes written by the author, Ro
Cooper Magrue.

Will Build More Track.
Pen-Mar Road Will Cross Track
at Station at Grade Same
as Years Ago.

Contractor Anderson, Baltimore, has
been awarded the contract for putting
down the double track on the Western
Maryland Main Line from Pen-Mar OBJ
servatory to Highfield, distance of about
two miles. Work will be begun on the
excavating just as soon as weather con-
ditions make it possible to work on the
ground. Already some carloads OF cross
ties, switchties and other materials have
been delivered in the vicinity of the work
Contractor Anderson built the double
track last year from Edgemont to point
opposite the Pen-Mar observatory. A
good part of his outfit of carts, blasting
apparatus, steam shovels, etc, is still on
the ground nearby. The remainder OF
the outfit will arrive duly. 1t is intended
to push the work with high pressure
speed in .order to complete the double
tracking of the line from one side of the
mountain to the other-this in turn being
but link in general doubling of the
track from Baltimore to Cumberland,
and eventually to Plttsburg.
The most radical of the changes will be
the elimination of the overhead wagon
bridge over the track, just east of the
Hotel Imperial. This bridge has been
found too low to accommodate the larger
type of engines now in use and the still
larger ones now in process of building.
Several years ago, after the big wreck
at Pen Mar, the bridge was raised II in
ches But this is now found insufficient.
To accommodate the new locomotives the
bridge would have to be raised "a inches
at least, and this, it is found, is imprac-
ticable on account of the already steep
approach on the west side.
The result is that the company will be
remitted to the old grade crossing at the
station, that was used for many years
prior to the erection of the bridge and
change of the road system at that point
and through the park.
In re-establishing the grade crossing,
however, it is not designed to re-convert
the footpath into wagon road. The
road after crossing the tracks will swing
around to the left and connect with the
present road on the east side of the park
and the footpath will be undisturbed.
The double tracking of the line will in
volve another very considerable change
along the front of Grand View Heights.
The new track to be laid all the way on
the south side will completely cut out the
driveway as well as all ground on the
front of the Heights cottage settlement,
leaving this park suburb high and dry.
The railroad management expects to
adjust the difficulty by erecting high
retaining wall all along the front of the
Heights from near the station clear
around through the cut.
The railroad sta ion will be moved a
couple hundred feet farther east, which
will bring it almost to the site of the old
station.

Public Speaking Contest.

The Tome School, Port Deposit, Md,
has sent out invitations to the secondary
schools in Maryland to participate in the
Second Annual State Contest in Public
Speaking, the finals of which are to be
held at the Tome School on the evening
of May 10th following the 1lth Annual
Inter-Schoolastic Field and Track Meet
which takes place that afternoon. AT
the same time invitations were sent out
for the 18th Annual Inter-Schoolastic
Track and Field Meet which is one of the
great outdoor meets of the South anC

brilliant than ever before.

After AutOiStS at Rockville.

Claiming that officers of the law in
various cities and towns in Maryland are
not doing their duty in running dow n
violators of the automobile law, Col.
Baughman, Motor Vehicle Commissioner
of Mary. and, sent special deputy to
Rockville to look after violaters of the
many laws. The officer soon after land
ing in Rockville Sunday gathered in four
persons, one boy under lS years of age
operating truck, and three others using
ficticuous license numbers.
These special officers are liable to DROP

Election Time Near.

Scarcely four weeks to elapse until it
is time to elect Board of Commissioners
to govern the corporation of Thurmont.
1t is time to begin talking about the
matter and considering the needs of the
Corporation. No better place to do this
could be found than at meetings of the
Community Club. While many things
could be done to better conditions in the
Corporation, we believe new charter is
the most important need at the present
ima. The charter We now have was
granted in 1872; good enough for condi-
tions at that time, but poor for the town
as she is now.

No Free Seed Available.

Since the home gardening movement
began throughout the country as means
OF meeting the increased cost of food the
Department of Agriculture has been
swamped with hundreds of thousand of
requests for free seeds.
Officials of the department say that
unfortunately they have no seeds to dis
tribute. The free seeds provided by Con-
gress are distributed by members of Con-
gress themselves direct, and this years
supply of about 5000, 900 worth was long
ago exhausted.
No more free seeds will be available
until late in the summer.
