h the past two weeks several boys
he local troop of Scouts have dem
-strated their ability to pass the re-
,uirements Of the Life Saving merit

is the last big step in the path to the
rank of Eagle Scout. These tests have
been conducted at the Deer Park
Hotel swimming pool by Mr.. H. L.
Jones, examiner in life saving for the
Court of Honor and the Scoutmaster.
The swimming pool instructor, for
mer Atlantic City life guard, compli-
mented the boys upon the manner in
which they have schooled themselves
in life saving. Here are the require
ments for the merit badge in life saw
ing:
1. A Scout must have first passed
the swimming merit badge test;
2. Dive properly from the surface
of water at least seven feet deep and
bring up an object twelve inches or

gle; wrist hold.

Oakland.
The annual Garrett County Fair un-
questlonably has resulted in great
benefit to the farmers of the county,
and it should be the honest desire of
every farmer to do his part to make
it a complete success in every depart
ment.
1t is important that every profess
sionl man keep in close touch with
the progress and advancement of his
profession and the Fair affords the
farmer the opportunity to learn and
observe what Garrett county is capa-
BILE of producing and its possibilities
in an agricultural way. The Fair,
through its exhibits, has been of great
value in acquainting all of US with the
fact that this is an ideal farming COM
munity, and every farmer is given the
means to display to others the results
of his or her particular work.
Farming is the principal occupation
of the citizens of this county and their
success is attested by the steady
growth of its financial institutions,
and as the success of all is dependent
on the success of the farmer, it is the
duty of all to boost any institution
that will in any way assist our farm
ers.
Garrett county should be second to
none in this State, and l know of no
better way for its people to advance
the county and advertise it than to
get behind the Fair and its officials
and make it bigger and better every
year.
