The several committees of the Child
Rescue Home located near Aurora.
w. Va, and controlled by the Church
of the Brethren of the First and Sec
ond District of West Virginia and the

the time of its purchase $1,000. More
than $4,000 has since been paid for
stock and implements.
An offer has been made by an in
dividual that he will donate $1,000
toward the building if the Second Dis
trict of West Virginia will raise like
amount, while another gentleman has
offered to pay for two-thirds of the
rough lumber necessary if someone
else will obligate themselves to pay
for the other one-third Should any
one be interested in this proposition,
please communicate with the secre-
tary, Mr.. L. H. Fike, Oakland.
A resolution was also passed ask
ing that each member of the church
give at least one days work or its
equivalent in cash toward the project.
The committee hopes to begin &C
tual construction work on the build
ing early in the present month.

WRECKED STOLEN AUTO
Youths from UniOntOwn PurlOin
Car at Construction Camp

Two youthful residents of Union
town, who had left their homes and
came to this section of the country a
few days ago, applied for work at the
dam being built by the Hawley Co.
north of Oakland, on last Saturday,
and being refused jobs, they no doubt
suffered from attacks of homesick-
ness, for they took possession of a
Ford car parked along the road near
the dam and started homeward. When
they reached the State road, mile or
more from the camp, the driver of the
car wrecked it by steering it into an
embankment. Here they abandoned
the car and started homeward afoot.
They were later picked up by a pass
ing autoist who carried them as far
as McHenry where few minutes
later they were overtaken by Traffic
Officer w. D. Casteel and brought
back to Oakland and lodged in Jail,
charged with having stolen the car.
On Monday the two boys were ac-
corded hearing before Justice of the
Peace James D. Hamill. The parents
of the boys, having been notified of
their sons troubles, had come to Oak
land on Sunday and at the hearing
they promised to make the damages
sustained by the owner of the car
good and the boys were paroled. The
car is the property of Samuel Mason,
of near German,

Red Cross Relief Fund Report,

The Oakland Chapter of the Red
Cross, of which Mrs. E. z. Tower, is
chairman, makes the following re-
port of its activities in relieving the
distress at KitZmiller after the flood.
A relief fund of 500 was collected,
which was used for such supplies as
potatoes, butter, flour, condensed milk,
and to pay for truck which carried
these supplies and clothing donated
to Kitzmiller. The supplies were
bought at cost through the kindness
of Oakland merchants. Two truck
loads of clothing was collected thru
church societies and packed by them
in the Sunday school room of the
Lutheran church. Much of the cloth
ing was new and all of it was in good
condition. The local Red Cross also
gave 5000 from its chapter funds.
The National Red Cross gave $1,000;
$500 for supplies and a like amount
which covered travelling and nurses
expenses.
More than 400 typhoid innoculations
were given, as there was grave dam
ger of disease from the polluted wat
er supply.
The mine owners of the town are
refurnishing many of the homes of
their employees, while other families,
whose houses were destroyed are
moving elsewhere, so the time Of great
stress in Kitzmiller is over.

H. A. LORADITCH Is new
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER
Oakland Man Was Named Last
Friday By Governor Richie

Among the appointments made by
Governor Richie on Friday of last
week was that of a member of the
Board of Education for Garrett coun-
ty to succeed Mr.. w. A. Gender,
whose term expired that day.
The new member of the board il,
Mr.. H. A. Loraditch, of Oakland, who
qualified on Saturday morning before
Clerk E. z. Tower, of the Circuit
Court at his office in Oakland.
Mr.. Loraditch had the endorsement
of four of the five members of the
Democratic County Committee as well
as that of State Senator j. w. Nc
Cullough, while Mr.. Gender, who was
an appointee of Governor Richie four
years ago, succeeding the only Re
publican member of the Board, Mr..
Joseph T. Glotfelty, had the endorse
ment of Mr. A. 7. Matthews, the fifth
member of the Democratic commit
tee. With the appointment of Mr..
Gender four years ago the board was
composed entirely of Democrats. Mr..
Loraditch is also a Democrat, thus the
composition is still Democratic.
The Republicans of the county were
favorable to the appointment of Mr.
H. V. Leighton, of Mountain Lake
Park. There is a probability that he
would have been appointed had the
Senator given the word, but he (Mr
Leighton) for some reason was not
the man to suit Senator McCullough
