Finally the court repeated that he

HEALTH CENTERS TO BE
ESTABLISHED IN COUNTY
One at Mountain Lake Park and
One In Oakland by Miss Getty

Disease prevention, control of cpl
denies, home nursing, care of chill
dTen and other matters regarding
health, will be subjects Of study at
health centers being established by
the Garrett County Public Health As
ISOLATION through the public health
nurse, Miss Vida Getty. Grantsville
and Friendsville women are now ac-
tive preparing for health classes in
those centers.
Thursday afternoon, January oath,
at 2:30 o'clock, Miss Getty will meet
the women and girls of Mountain
Lake Park, Loeb Lynn and surround
ing territory at the home of Mrs. E.
o. Fouch, in Mountain Lake Park, for
the purpose Of establishing a health
center there.
Friday afternoon, January 25th, at
three o'clock, women and girls of
Oakland and vicinity will meet in the
Public Library Rooms to take the
first steps in establishing an Oakland
health center. A special invitation
is extended to the girls of the Oakland
High School to be present at this
first meeting to be held by Miss Get
ty in Oakland. High School girls who
wish to attend, the school authorities
have heartily agreed, will be excused
from school in time to be at the Ii
barry rooms at three o'clock Friday
afternoon.
During the fall and early winter,
Miss Getty's work has been largely
in the schools and the homes of the
most inaccessible parts of Garrett
county. Now that real winter is here
and the country roads are bad, the
Health Association feels that it is bet
ter, as it was planned last fall, to
carry on the public health work in
several centers and in homes and in
schools that are less difficult to reach
at this time of the year. In case of
emergency, epidemic or special need,
Miss Getty will make, even in bad
weather, great effort to reach any
section of the county, no matter how
remote the section is from good roads.
An outfit, purchased by the Tuber-
culosis Association with Christmas
Seal money, will be shown by Miss
Getty at each of the centers she es-
tabhshes. This outfit will contain the
articles that are needed at a health
center for public health work.

Evans, the most brilliant lawyer of
the Allegany bar to be the orator. He
came on horseback over so miles and
returned the same way. The weather
was hot and the orator was overcome
with heat and the long rides and was
taken i'll and died in few days. There
was great sorrow on account of his
early death, being only 81 years old
One of those who deeply felt the I'M
timely loss was the author of this pa
per, who one year prior left Topham
Evans office to become a member of
the Allegany bar and is now its aged
senior, but in no other respects.
Oakland was Incorporated in 1862,
an dbecame the county seat of Gar
rett county in 1873.
The next and last town for this
paper will be Grantsville, Garrett
county, the home town of the writer
in his young days. 1t derives its
name from Daniel Grant, who settled
there more than 100 years ago upon
a splendid tract Of land called Cornu-
coria of over 600 acres. 1t was sit
uated on each side of the old historic
Braddock road. He built a large and
fine house for those early times and
lived there till some i'll happenings
called him back to his early Eastern
home. Nc more was ever heard Of
him. This house and four or five log
buildings, with log Methodist meet
ing house, constituted cold Grants
vile. The present town is about a
half mile north of the old site, imme-
diately on the National Road. The
mother town was on Braddock's Road.
They are close to each other. Grants
vile as it is now, is prosperous and
healthy town. It has two prosperous
banks, three churches, hotels and
stores of a sufficiency. 1t is a summer
resort for number of persons. 1t
was incorporated as a town in 1864.
It was in District No 3 in old Allie
gany county &nd is the same number
in Garrett county.

SCHOOL NEEDS RECOGNIZ-
ED AND SOLUTION SOUGHT
Splendid Cooperation From the
Oakland Chamber of Com
merce With Officials

The outstanding weakness of school
children in the Oakland Supervisory
unit is deficient sight vocabulary.
Children do not know the meaning
of words which they see in their read
ing and in their general assignments
in other school subjects; do not rec
ognize as many of these words as
they should for their ages or for the
grade in which they are placed. This
weakness was discovered through the
use of the Stanford Achievement
Tests in October and every teacher in
the county knows the actual record
made by every one of her pupils and
has confirmed the record by daily OBJ
servation of this weakness in recita-
ton periods.
There are many ways to increase
the size of the reading vocabulary of
school children. The teachers are
trying the suggestions made by their
supervising teacher and are seeking
new devices of their own. The most
important methods of building a
knowledge of word meaning, howev-
er, is directing the children into hab-
its of extensive reading.
Realizing this need and the impor-
lance Of the habit of extensive read
ing, the Board of Directors of the
Oakland Chamber Of Commerce offer
prize to the school room in the
Oakland Supervisory Unit averaging
the greatest number of pages, exclu-
sive of text books, read per pupil
from January Is to May Is.
In the middle of May the record in
word meaning will again be taken by
means of the Stanford test and it will
be interesting to study the relation
ship between good records in the tests
and good records in the number of
books read
The prize offered by the Board of
Directors is a good browntone pic
ture framed, ready to hang on the
wall, of standard size and title to be
selected by the teacher of the winning
school room by and with the approval
Of the supervising teacher, Miss Stew
art. 1t will be presented in person to
the boys and girls of the school by
Mr.. Charles i. Riley, secretary of the
Oakland Chamber of Commerce.

AMERICAN LEGION POST

All Former Service Men Of the
County viii Be Invited
To Become Members

At meeting held at the Gender
building in Oakland on last Friday
evening twenty-five former service

Proster Kildow Post No. II, was
organized in Oakland shortly after
the end of the World War and was
an active organization for short
time thereafter when the members be-
came scattered to other parts of the
country with the result that the
Post soon ceased to exist.
For some time past several of the
former members of the post in and
around Oakland have been enthusiasts
tic about recognizing the post and
it is their intention to- do so at an
early date.
