AMERICAN LEGION PLANS
FOR MEMORIAL BUILDING
Initial Steps Taken Recently for
Raising of Funds To Build
Structure In Oakland.

The Republican is gratifed to an
nOunce that Prostor Kildow Post, No.
II, American Legion, of Oakland, has
taken the initial step toward raising
funds for the erection of a memorial
building to the soldiers and sailors of
Garrett county in the World War
as we'll as other conflicts in which
Americans have been engaged. The
proposed structure will be erected in
Oakland upon a site not yet selected.
1t is fact fully appreciated by
everyone that Oakland needs a COM
munity building-one that may be
used for civic and social affairs of
not only the town but the county as a
whole, and to this end the member
ship of the Legion has arranged for a
series Of entertainments whereby an
amount may be raised for this pur-
pose.
1t is felt by those interested, and
'i'ItS 4iiSAuuCS llOI OII1S lllG veterans
and the immediate members of their
families, but everyone in the commu-
nifty, that the erection of such a build
ing will fill long-felt want and is in
line with the work and progress of
other communities the country over.
Garrett county, in round numbers,
had nine hundred men in the service
during the World War; in the Civil
War more than a hundred and fifty
fought beneath the Stars and Stripes.
With this array of men, and with
the cooperation of their friends, the
Legion requests and fully expects the
support of every citizen of the county
that the undertaking may be accom-
plished at an early day.
On the evening of February End.
the Legion will meet at its headquar-
ters to further discuss and plan the
undertaking and at which meeting
every member is urged to be present.

CAR WRECKED ON BEAR
CREEK NEAR ACCIDENT
In Which The Driver, Robert
Helbig, Was Painfully Cut
and Car Damaged.

Last Friday night about midnight,
as Mr.. Robert Helbig, of Oakland, ac-
companied by Miss Dewitt, of near
Deer Park, and Messrs. Wade H.
limbaugh and Walter Hoyt, of Oak
land, were returning here in Mr.. Hell
big's car from Homecoming where they
had been that evening to witness a
basket ball game, the car skidded on
an icy place on the concrete roadway
at a point on Bear Greek hill, two
miles south of Accident and plunged
down the embankment for a distance
of about twenty feet into Bear Greek.
Before the car left the road it
struck the guard fence and then be-
ing detected hit a sign post alongside
the road just as it was going over the
bank, When the car finally came to
stop the wheels were up in the air
and the occupants pinned down in it
by the seats and other paraphernalia.
Broken glass cut all of them more
or less, Mr.. Helbig being the most
seriously injured, especially about his
face and head and suffered the loss of
great quantity of blood before re-
lief was obtained.
The party was rescued from their
predicament by motorists in another
auto coming from Homecoming and all
were brought to town, Mr.. Helbig be-
ing placed in the home of his brother,
Mr.. Joseph Helbig, where he was at
tended by DR.. Darby and taken to his
mothers home on Monday where he
is slowly improving and expects to
be on duty in the post Office, where
he is employed as a clerk, in a short
time. Other members of the party
did not require the services of a ply
sician, although their experience was
nerve racking.
The wrecked car, a closed coach,
was badly damaged and was brought
into Oakland Sunday afternoon and
will be repaired.

FAIRNESS AT
MARKET DENIED
Sloan Says Producers Have
Ample Space.

Robert r. Sloan, market master,
today denied assertions that farmer
producers are handicapped in their
efforts to sell their produce at the
outdoor market about the Court
house.
Producers occupy practically all
the spaces on z. Washington ST.
and are scattered about the other
three sides Of the square," he said.
I'm alloting spaces for the season,
June to Jan. l, all farmers who
had held stall rights, had the
opportunity to renew their leases.
Those who failed to report before
June 10 lost their places, because I
could not reserve them indefinitely" 4"
Sloan said farmers are permitted
to use their stalls at their will, but
that when they fail to appear, the
market officials allow other vendors
to occupy the room.
