The value of the Garrett County
Fair can not be measured in dollars
and cents, neither can the true value
be determined in one, two or three
years, but must be considered from
several angles to ascertain if the I'M
dertaking is worthy of the support of
the people of the county as whole
In order to find out if the fair does
warrant our support let US consider
a few of its outstanding activities.
First: Any activity which brings
the people of our county together
certainly must tend to show a CO.
operative spirit and the value of this
element alone will prove the progress
we are making. l think we all agree
that there is hearty cooperation in
our county, but properly to develop it
we should take upon ourselves the re-
sponsibility to do our part.
Second: Education is a predominant
ing factor for our county fair, as it
not only is the means to assist in this
particular regard, but if properly con-
Quoted all our people will get results
which will make US a better county
as a whole. Competitive elements
play large part in the promotion of
better fair by the bringing of pro-
ducts from the farm, the household,
o,,I
other sources; and it has been shown
to have decidedly benefitting eff
feet in the better production of the
articles produced or made by the in
dividual exhibitor.
Third: From a financial standpoint
we may not all agree as to the many
benefits derived, but it is a proven
fact that when better crops are PRO
duced, better stock is raised, or when
the household or schoolroom turns out
better work for exhibit that the
country is not only better off from
progressive or learned point of view
but is decidedly better off financially
and we should not lose sight of the
fact that we must be success in this
regard or we are not making salts
factory progress for the betterment
of our county.
There are many and varied ways by
which we could promote the interests
of our county, but l think the GAR
RETT COUNTY FAIR is the one
function which offers the opportunity
to all for SERVICE.

Memorial Day Exercises to Be.
gin at 200 P. NJ, Sunday,
Nav Goth.

AS annouced previously the Amer
lean Legion will join with Garrett
Lodge No. 113, Knights of Pythias, in
the observance of Memorial Day.
There is a tendency on the part of
the public to make of the day a time
of festivities and pleasure. We have
no criticism to offer in that respect,
but we urge all to observe the occa-
sion with due reverence. We do not
entreat anyone to go around with a
solemn face or present a melancholy
appearance. Let US ever remember
that although we now enjoy health
and life, the time is not far distant
when we will be numbered with the
dead. Let every Knight participate
in honoring our brothers who have
fallen by the wayside. The Legion
will assemble at their headquarters
and Garrett Lodge will meet at Cas-
tie Hall promptly at p. M, Sunday,
May 30th.
If you desire an evening of pleas
ure, be at Castle Hall, Friday night,
May 18th. Deputy Inspector Henry
Lauer will present a three-quarter
life-size portrait of Past Grand Chan
cellor J. C. Renninger to Garrett
lodge that evening. Our lodge should
be proud to have picture of so dis
tinguished person adjoining it's Cas-
tie Hall. You doubtless remember that
Bro. Renninger served in the capacity
of Grand Chancellor of Maryland dur
ing the year 1921. At the last ses-
sion of Grand Lodge he was appoint
ed a member of the Grand Tribunal.
A special program will be given in
connection with the presentation GER
emonies. We are not prepared to
state in detail just what the program
will be, but you can depend on the
entertainment committee giving you
something worthwhile. Come and find
out for yourself what is going on
Friday night. PUBLICITY COM.

ing of last week, Col. J. H. Cudlipp, of
Baltimore, and Mr.. E. R. Jones, the
Garrett county president of the Sun
day School Association, held an eff
cheney conference in the Lutheran
church at Accident at which about
thirty Sunday school workers were
present. Various methods for improv-
ing Sunday school work in the county
were discussed. Plans were made for
putting these in operation and some
interesting addresses were delivered
by Col. Cudlipp. The conference was
very. successful in every way and it
is planned to hold a similar meeting
once each year.

number of delegates who had places
on the program, and the entire ses-
sion was instructive and helpful. Camp
Royal, the Sunday school training
ground of the summer months, to
which an increasing number of young
people of Garrett county, as we'll as
of other parts of the State, go each
year, received a good deal of consid-
GRAFTON and the county expects to have
a good delegation in camp this year.
A district convention for the Oak
land District of the County Sunday
School Association was held in the
Presbyterian church in Oakland on
Tuesday afternoon and evening of the
present week, which was in charge of
Rev. G. A. Teske, of Cumberland, and
County President E. R. Jones. While
the attendance at this gathering was
not up to expectations, two interest
ing sessions were hled and a definite
organization was effected. At the ev-
ening session Rev. Teske delivered
very interesting address on the cur
rent Sunday school lessons, illustrat-
ing the same with about one hundred
pictures. The officers elected for this
district for the coming year are as
follows:
President, Mr.. Delbert Davis; vice

Getting Them Ready For School

In order that as many as possible of
the children who will enter school
next fall, may begin their school life,
100 per cent healthy" arrangements
for health examinations of the five
and six year Odds throughout the coun-
ties are being made by the Bureau of
Child Hygiene of the State Depart
ment of Health with the assistance of
the County superintendent of
schools, and the County Health OFF,
GERS.
In number of the counties the
names of the children who will reach
school age this year and who will en-
ter school in the fall, have been OBJ
tanned through the County Superin-
tendents, and wherever possible, a
preliminary child health conference
will be held at some conveniently To-
Gated center, either before schools
close for the summer, or during the
summer. The conference will be SINH
lar to the Child Health Conferences
that are being held regularly in each
county under the auspices of the State
Bureau of Child Hygiene, except that
these examinations will be limited to
the children who are getting redy to
enter school in the fall. The physi-
cal examination will be made either
by one of the local doctors or by
physician sent from the Bureau Of
Child Hygiene. The results of each
examination will be reported to the
family physician.
The object of the health inspections
early in the season is to give parents
an opportunity to consult their doctors
concerning matters of the utmost inn
portance to the future health of the
children, such as the need for dental
treatments, care of the tonsils, exami-
nation of the eyes, and for the UNDER
nourished children, change in diet, or
general building up.
The fact that good health makes
education easier for child and for
teacher" is emphasized in the letter
sent by the Bureau of Child Hygiene
to parents inviting them to bring
their children to the conferences. GAS
you probably know" the letter says,
"a considerable number of young
children who are attending school in
Maryland at present are not perfectly
well; many are suffering from some
physical defect, or are UNDER
nourished, and some have seri Us
diseases which have not been recog-
nized. In the past it has beer found
that these children cannot keep up
well with their classes and have to
lose a great deal of time from school.
'The Bureau of Child Hygiene of
the State Department of Health is
attempting this spring and summer
to help in the examination of as many
children as possible who expect to at
tend school for the first time in the
fall. The results of these examina-
tons will be sent to the family doctor,
so that he will be able to treat the
children during the summer and have
them in good physical condition when
they begin school The examina-
ton will cost nothing"
The plan being carried out in the
counties has the endorsement of the
Parent-Te Association as it is
in line with the nationwide program
of that association to secure the
health inspection of all prospective
first graders before they enter school.
