A FEW THOUGHTS FOR THE
HUNTERS OF GARRETT COUNTY
Assistant Forester Cope, in Charge of
Fire Protection, Issues Warning

hS iOSCNbiOH, Issues w dTnlHg
This week sees the opening of the
hunting season and from all reports,
game abounds all through the forested
sections of the State. The past sum-
mer seems to have been especially
favorable for the developement of
broods of young quail. Good sport is
promised for all devotees of the gun.
To the true sportsman, however, there
are certain obligations that go with
the sport. Of these obligations, the
chiefest one is being careful with fire
in the woods. A little camp fire left
uneXtinguished, a careless match or
cigarette butt thrown among dry
leaves may start forest fire that will
sweep over vast areas and besides
doing great damage to the grown tim
Der, will kill the very game that the
forest shelters.
There are three lookout towers, six
patrolmen and thirty eight forest war;
dens in Garrett county, all working to
protect the forests from fire.
Let every hunter, as he takes out his
license, solemnly pledge himself to
help make Garrett county's forests
safe from fire. J. A. KOPE,
Assistant Forester in CHARGE of Fire
Protection.

FORESTER AND ROADS COMMITS
SIONER AT ODDS OVER TREES
Governor Richie Will Confer With
Besley and Mackall on Points

The differences which have arisen
between State Forester F. w. Bes-
ley and John N. Mackall, chairman of
the State Roads Commission, over the
planting of trees along the State
highways, are only one phase of the
general question of authority over the
rights of way of the public high
ways, according to Mr.. Mackall.
Mr. Besley is preparing to ask the
Legislature to authorize the general
planting of trees on the State roads
under the supervision of the Board of
Forestry, and while Mr. Mackall is
also an advocate of roadside tree
planting he feels that certain mis-
takes have been made in the past and
that the Roads Commission should
be given control over all questions
involving the State highways.
Some time ago Mr. Besley objected
to danger signal signs which the
Road Commission was preparing to
place along the roads and carried his
point on the ground that the advertis-
ing which they were to carry was for
hidden along the State rights of way.
Later on the State Forester sent out
a cleanup squad" to remove all
commercial signs on the roads, as he
was empowered to do by the Legisla-
ture.
Mr.. Mackall believes that all such
matters lie more properly within the
province of the Roads Commission.
The advice of the State Forester
would, of course, be sought on tech
nical questions involved in tree plant
ing, but the controlling authority
should be the Roads Commission.
A conference on the question will
be held in the office of Governor
Richie, probably within week at
which time the heads of the +yvo ctp-e
Departments will END ovor -
straighten out their difficulties.

Reception Given by Senator-elect and
Mrs. Mccullough at Friendsville


Senator and Mrs. John W. Nc
Cullough gave an open-house recep-
ton to their many friends in and
around Friendsville last night at their
beautiful home in Friendsville. The
reception was given by Mr.. and Mrs.
Mccullough in appreciation of the
support rendered the former at the
polls on Tuesday, when he was elected
State Senator from Garrett county.
Mr.. Mccullough made an address in
which he stated that in view of the
fact that he fully recognized that his
support for the Office to which he had
been chosen had come from voters ir-
respective of party lines, that he in
tended during his four years as SEN
ator to be likewise Senator who shall
act irrespective of party lines and
shall be representative of all the
people of the county. Mr.. McCul-
lough's remarks were roundly APP
plauded by the large group of friends
who were present. Appropriate ad-
dresses were also made by several of
his fellow-townsmen as we'll as by a
few friends from Accident and Oak
land. The Friendsville band serenaded
Mr.. Mccullough very literally, and
after refreshments were served and
congratulations extended to Mr.. and
Mrs. Mccullough and the singing of
"Blest Be the Tie that Binds, the re-
ception came to an end with all in a
happy frame of mind.
