FIRST NATIONAL BANK TO
REMODEL THEIR ROOMS
Work Will Begin Immediately
After Removal OF POstOffice.

Due to crowded conditions existing
in the banking rooms of the First
National Bank building, alterations
will be made within the very near
future which will relieve any further
congestion.
The partition between the room
now being used as the postoffice and
those used by that financial institu-
ton will be removed and new fixtures
and equipment built especially for the
bank will be installed.
The entrance to the bank will be
changed to some extent, making two
separate openings, one onto Second
street and the other onto Alder
street. The Cashiers office will be
located in the corner of the present
room on Alder street and will be at
one end of the lobby which will run
the entire length of the bank building
along Second street. The new fixtures
to be installed provide for five win
doWs along the lobby. The Directors
room will be located in the rear of
the room now being used as the post
office and the bookkeeping depart
ment will occupy the remaining space
used by the postoffice at present.
One fireproof storage vault will be
added along with much other new
equipment. The fixtures will be
metal and mahogany in color with a
marble base four feet in height.
Mr.. George F. Sansbury, of Cum
berland, is the architect and Mr.. John
Ault, of Oakland, who erected the
building, will be superintendent dur
ing the course of repair which will
probably extend up until April 18th,
1925.
During the time of alterations the
institution will carry on its business
in the usual manner at it's present
quarters.

MRS JOSEPH E. FRIEND

Alice Friend, one of Oakland's fine
people, answered the call of our

with five children, two of whom pre-
coded their mother into eternity. Her

Mrs. John HENDERSON, survive her.
October 8th, 1898, she married
Joseph E. Friend. To this union We're
born two children, Mary, wife of Mr..

married to Mary Hogue, of Akron, o.

lively engaged in church work. She
was a member of the Baptist church
at Loeb Lynn. The last two years

FIRE ON TUESDAY NIGHT
WRECKS P. E. RECTORY
Occupants of The Building Es-
cape Uninjured, But Con-
tents Were Damaged

Fire, probably resulting from de-
fective flue, partially destroyed the
Episcopal rectory, corner of Sixth
and Green streets, late on Tuesday
night and deprived two families of
their homes for time at least.
At the time the fire originated the
families of Mr.. Patrick Lonergan and
Mr.. Sherman, who were occupying
the house, were sleeping and were
awakened by the intense heat and
smoke and roaring Of the flames. All
very fortunately escaped uninjured,
but were driven out scantily attired.
The fire department responded as
quickly as possible to the alarm, but
the flames were not subdued until the
upper portion of the house was en-
tirely destroyed, the roof and por-
ton of the upper floor being burned
through.
The furniture in the dwelling was
badly damaged, and as there was no
insurance upon it, the loss will be
entire. The dwelling was insured for
$4,000 which is expected to cover the
cost of making the repairs.
The property was owned by the
congregation of st. Matthew's P. E.
church and was rented to the occu-
pants, Messrs. Lonegran and Sherman
who are employed by the General
Construction Corporation.

Bow Scout News


Monday night was the big night so
far in the social activities of the
troop. The scoutmaster and the
troop entertained with a party and
dance at the scout shack at the corner
of Third and Oak streets. There were
fifty boys and girls present enjoying
card games and dancing. Mrs. Emily
Hamill and Mrs. Charles Tower acted
as patronesses. They plan to have a
fun fest social every month and the
night will be looked forward to by
the troop and its friends. Last FRI
day night was also a big night. The
Scout Troop Committee, F. E. Rath-
bun, L. M. Fraley and Donald Sincell
were present. Mr. Rathbun formally
presented the troop with its charter,
Mayor Fraley presented the scout
master with its commission and Dom
aid Sincell presented the troop with
their individual cards of registration.
The scoutmaster presented each scout
with his scout pin and also gave each
boy scout diary for 1925 as a
Christmas gift. Howard Rathbun was
formally indicted into the troop as
its mascot and given a scout diary
Now that the holidays are over we
shall begin intense advancement con-
tests and it is expected that every
boy in the troop will be a second
class scout by the first of February.
To further the best interest of the
troop we are about to inlist the inter-
est and cooperation of the mothers
of the boys, also the assistance of
every public spirited woman in Oak
land who will join. On Tuesday, Jan.
9th, at 3 p. M, every mother and
woman will meet at the court house
for the purpose of organizing a
Womans Scout Aux. to aid and assist
the troop with their moral influence
and operation. 1t is to be hoped that
every woman who reads this item will
plan to attend. No special invitation
will be issued at this time thru the
mails, as we feel that already there
has been warmest expressions of ap-
proval for the troop. At the meeting
the plan will be launched for a card
party to be given in Fraley's Hall on
the night of the 18th, at 8 p. m. The

Oakland C0llegians Lose One =;
High School Plays Two.

The Oakland Collegians were de-
feated for the first time this season
on Christmas night by the Clarksburg
West Va) Collegians with the score
of 26 to 20. Hoyt's quintet had won
the first three games and were going
strong when they ran up against a
snag.
The game was a thriller, Oakland
leading in three quarters of the
game, and the score always being
such that the winner of the fray was
doubtful
Clarksburg's comeback in the last
quarter was due mainly to Kicker,
who dropped in several sensational
shots when most needed.
The Oakland boys were "off" IN
foul shooting, caging only A out of II
tries, while Clarksburg managed to
drop 6 out of 8 attempts into the net.
Rice and Bolden were the NAN
point-scorers for Oakland, caging
and goals respectively, while Rick
er of Clarksburg was responsible for
most of his teams points.
Tonight Oakland and Salem college
will meet in MAYORS Hall. AS Il
preliminary game the Oakland High
school will encounter Salisbury High
