Friday of last week shortly after
300 o'clock Mayor VIM. Parker
caused an alarm to be sounded in
Sank Centre for volunteers to hunt
for Gilbert Gartner, n;ne and half
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
b. Gartner who reside about six and
half miles north of Sank Centre
who had been missing from his home
since 4:30 Thursday afternoon.
A posse of over a hundred, consist

Guards, Business men, citizens from
Sank Centre, and negihbors of Cart
ner's were soon combing the woods,
tributary to the Gartner home, MAX
ing frantic search for the little fell
low who had been lost for nearly
twenty-four hours and had been ex-.
posed to the terrible storm which
swept that section Thursday night.
Friday afternoon at 500 o'clock.
little girl who's name has not been
learned was passing in an automobile,
and called the attention of other &C.
cupants of the car to little boy sit,
ting by the roadside seemingly in a.
half unconscious state. Albin Holm
quist of st. Cloud who was passen-
ger in the car approached the boy,
and upon inquiring assertained that
he was the Gartner boy. Not know
ing that the little chap was lost he
was taken to nearby farm home
where he was given water and nour-
ishment and put to bed after he had
been given first aid treatment on face
and arms where he was badly burned
by the sun, and his feet which were
badly bruised from rocks and brush.
The place where the little girl dis
covered the missing boy was about
two and half miles north from the
Gartner home, and only short dis
lance from where the searching par
ties had given up the hum
The circumstances tea.'ng to the
boys disappearance kept the search
ers in close range to the Gartner
home.
Just before his disappearance he
had been sent to the Eousa by HIS
father for water. He had secured
the pail from his mother and had fill
ed it at the pump. A short time later
Mrs. Gartner prepared lunch and
sent it to the woods vhere Mr..
Gartner was working with other chill
dren of the family. Later little
daughter returned to the home ano
requested pail from her mother
stating that her daddy was very
thirsty. Mrs. Gartner thinking it
strange, remarked that Gilbert had
taken water to his father only short
time before, whereupon she was in
formed that he had not returned to-
his father.
The search for the missing boy was
began at once by the family and was
continued throughout the night and
until the following afternoon when
the call for help was sent to this city
Mr.. Gartner stated to the Heral~

rapidly regaining his strength which

Christmas Seals

- The eighteenth annual sale Of Tu-
berculosis Christmas Seals which IS
sponsored annually by the Maryland
tuberculosis Association will begin
on Thursday, November Goth, accord
ing to Harvey f. Weiss, chairman of
Garrett County Branch of the State
Association.
Following the usual custom, seven
ty percent Of all funds collected in
this county will remain in the county,
to be spent in the slowly but certainly
winning combat against tuberculosis,
Of all the plaques that have affec-
ted the world, none is more deadly
than tuberculosis, the "Great White
Plague" Although other plaques,
ancient and modern, have swept a
country or community for a few
weeks, months or years. tuberculosis
has seized its victims for over twenty
five hundred years. It fights from
ambush and strikes The rich, the poor,
the brilliant, the stupid, the weak, the
strong.
tuberculosis is one of the most
costly diseases. The long period of
illness caused by tuberculosis is cost
ly in treatment. and in money lost
because of sickness.
In 1924 there were one hundred
thousand deaths from tuberculosis in
the United States, and according to
the United States figures, about nine
hundred thousand cases. tuberculosis
cuts off two and one half years from
the complete expectation of every in
dividual under present mortality con-
ditions. If each individual were to
add only One Hundred Dollars to the
community wealth per year, Tuber-
culosis would cost the community Two
Hundred and Fifty Dollars per per
son. Among the one hundred and ten
million persons in the United States,
this loss is over Twenty-seven and
one-half Billion Dollars.
The money received from the sale
of Christmas Seals has been used in
combating this scourge for seventeen
years. The death rate has been cut
in half in the last twenty years, which
means saving, at the present time
of approximately one hundred and
twenty thousand lives year.
On November Goth, over one hun
dred and twenty-five thousand direct
mail appeals will be sent out in the
State of Maryland alone. Twenty
three million seals have been received
by the State Association, represent
ing allotment for 1925. Each County
Branch Association will make a spec
ial effort to dispose of its share
Seventy percent of the proceeds col
lected in Garrett county will remain
in this county to finance tuberculosis

very serious cases. In one, the de
feet is so great that even with the
use of glasses the child can enjoy
only one-third of normal sight.
Altho many of these eye defects
have been recognized by the nurse,
the teachers and the parents for some
time-in some of the worst cases for
years-these defects were not cor
rected before definite "follow-up"
work was done through clinic.
That the very children were reach
ed who need help is shown by the fact
that over one-half of the children are
from families unable even to pay the
bare cost of glasses, in which case the
cost is to be paid from money secured
thru the tuberculosis Associations
sale of Christmas seals.
Miss Wiedman and Miss East both
showed tact in the management of
the children throughout the day of
the clinic. The children were led to
look upon the excursion to Cumber-
land as a picnic. They laughed and
sang on the way and just before the
bus reached Cumberland, ate the pic
mic lunch which each child had taken
along, To the children an impress
sive part of the program was the
lunch bought for them in Cumberland
before they started for home.
To Miss Wiedman and Miss East,
and probably to the parents waiting
at home from nine o'clock in the
morning till quarter to eight in the
evening, the Saturday of the first
eye sight clinic was a hard day, but,
the caretakers say, it was a happy
day.
THE children were so good" Miss
Wiedman said, "and I was so happy
to realize that these eye defects are
really corrected, that I forgot to be
tired"

Garrett COunty's First Eyesight
Clinic Conducted at Cum

Nineteen children from Friends
Vile and vicinity were taken by bus
to Cumberland last Saturday, Nov.
2lst, to receive a free examination of
their eyes by Dr. George O. Sharrets
at the first eyesight clinic ever con-
ducted for Garrett county people.
The Garrett County Public Health
Association has for long time been
working to secure the correction of
physical defects discovered in many
cases through the health nurses in
spection of school children.
In arranging for the eyesight clinic,
Miss Wiedman, the nurse, enjoyed the
hearty cooperation Of every one who
was asked To help along DR.. Shar-
rats did the clinical work free and
offered glasses at cost to children
whose parents are financially unable
to pay the full price. The Motor Ser
vice Company of Friendsville, trans
ported the children free from Friends
Vile to Cumberland and return. Mr..
Rathbun, County Superintendent, and
the FriendsviiIe physicians. DR.. Ma

ing arrangements for the clinic. Miss
Lillian East, first grade teacher Of the
Friendsville school, went in the bus
to Cumberland to assist Miss Wied-
man in caring for the children. All
the teachers and parents assisted in
every way they could.
That this eye clinic met great
need in Friendsville is shown by the
fact that DR.. Sharratts found that

needed glasses. Two, he said, are

W. G. MEYERS, Clerk
Evening star., 1925-05-03

Some 10 years ago Uncle Sam didn't
own a single ship, outside of those In
the Navy Today he is one of the
big ship owners of the world, with
several hundred tied up in the Hud-
son, James and other rivers while he
operates about $50 passenger and
cargo ships, including the Leviathan,
the biggest ship af1oat, which he took
from Germany.
And yet Uncle Sam really does not
want to be in the shipping business,
but there are two very important
reasons why he must stay in the
business indefinitely, as far as can
now be seen. One reason is to give
American commerce a square deal
on the high seas and the other is to
be prepared for adequate national
defense.
When the World War broke loose,
even before we got into the war, our
merchants began TO suffer and were
practically at the mercy of foreigners
When we entered the war we had no
ships to transport our nghtlnB men
and supplies overseas and had to pay
a big bill for transportation. In such
an emergency our Uncle Samuel al
ways does things in big way ano
he spent more than three Dllllons OF
dollars to get a merchant marine III
a hurry. So-while he doesn't want
TO be in the shipping business, he
faces the alternative of having TO dc
this all over again, and meanwhile
seeing our merchants suffer through
discrimination and all the people pay
higher prices in consequence, II ne
allows the existing merchant marine
to be wiped out.
OF course, he is now operating this
big fleet at loss, which did run ur
to $50 200, 900 a year, but this deficit
has been cut down to $25.000,000 to
$50. 900 900 through improved methods
and the practice of economy. It's a
simple matter of division to see that
$25 900 900 goes into $4,000, 900. 900 q
good many times-so 1t is really much
better economy for him to continue
operating his ships at a loss.
This merchant fleet is under the ad
ministration of the Shipping Board
which was created during the wal
