ORGANIZATION TO BOOST
OLD NATIONAL HIGHWAY
Will Be Effected In Cumberland To-
day BY Chambers of Commerce.


For the purpose of discussing the
organization of a Chamber of Com
merce for Western Maryland to be
represented by Oakland, Cumberland,
Frostburg, Hagerstown and Frederick,
a special meeting is being held at
the Fort Cumberland Hotel. The
Meeting was called by Col. D. John

the project.

respective cities at the meeting are:
Col. D. John Marley, Emory L. Cob
lentz and James H. Gambrill, Jr., of
Frederick; J. Milton Patterson, Tasker
G. Lowndes and Franklin H. Ankeney.
OF Cumberland; Emmit Cans, DR.. Vic

Hagerstown. The committee from
Oakland will be headed by Mr.. Henry
Lauer and that of Frostburg by G.
Marshall Gillette. All are officials or
members of the Chamber of Com

Chamber of Commerce is to bring
about mutual cooperation and under
standing between the cities and towns
of Western Maryland and industrial
commercial and social subjects. The
new body if organized will not be ad-
ministrative and no salaried officers
will be maintained. 1t is likely that
the appointed secretary will be
changed from town to town about
four times a year.
One of the principal projects, which,
it is intended, will be fostered by the
proposed body. will be given to the
National Highway which connects
many cities and towns in this end of
the state and is extensively Travelled

last Thursday night by Walter Hoyt's
Oakland A. A. by the score of 80 to
80 at MAYORS Hall before a fair

tured by the brilliant long shooting
of the visiting team and the foul

ed here this season.
At the end Of the first half the
Presidents led by the score Of 16 to
