BUSINESS MEN PROVIDE
CAMP site FOR SCOUTS
Court of Honor Will EndeavOr
to Raise Funds for Erection
of Permanent Buildings

Approximately 5000 is needed by
the Court of Honor of the local troop
Boy Scouts of America to build perm
anent barracks and dining hall on
land provided for the purpose by sew
eral business men of Oakland.
The land, the same upon which the
Scouts camped last summer and which
lies along the banks of Deep Creek
Lake about twenty-five minutes drive
from Oakland, makes an ideal camp
site for the boys, and they are very
anxious that the permanent camp be
established, which will relieve them of
large expense during the years to
come in the way of providing proper
housing during their outing.
The barracks, which the Court of
Honor hopes to erect, will be build
ing 26x60 feet, open on both sides
and at one end, with slanting roof ris-
ing from five feet on the lower side
to approximately twelve feet on the
upper side. The caves will extend
two feet or more on either side, which
will prevent rain beating very far
into the structure. Drop canvass will
also be provided to be used in case of
storms.
The dining hall will be nothing
more than a roof set upon posts and
will be long, narrow structure just
large enough to provide sufficient COW
ering for the table to be used by the
boys at meal time.
A committee for the purpose of So
Letting funds for building these struc-
lures was named Friday night at a
regular meeting of the Court Of Hon.
or, with DR.. w. W. Grant, member
Of that body, as chairman.
DR.. Grant has stated that he feels
short time only will be required to
raise the money needed for this wor-
thy purpose and has made arrange
ments with the three banks of Oak
land to accept donations for the fund.
Any amount left at the banks for the
purpose will be appreciated by not
only the members of the Court of
Honor but by the entire Scout organ
ization.
The boys will go into camp for two
weeks either late in July or the first
of August, which leaves little time for
the Court to erect the buildings and
otherwise prepare for the necessary
comforts for the boys who are to &C.
cupy the proposed buildings.
DR.. Grant and his committee are
very anxious that the amount needed
be raised very early in order that the
work on the site be completed with
out undue delay.

Boy Scouts Play Games.

The regular meeting Of the Boy
Scouts last Friday was turned into
"Game Night" which was held out
of doors. Several games were played,
following the very brief business ses-
sion, "the tug of war" being the most
popular. The Fox patrol, large in
number but small in ze,proved them
selves the best tuggers. This was fol-
lowed by having a "feed" consisting
mostly of weiners.
Twenty-one Merit Badges Bestowed
Twenty-one merit badges were is
sued last Monday evening at the reg
ular session of the Court of Honor, to
the Scouts who were present in Scout
Hall at the time. approximately 800
merit badges have now been won by
members of the local troop.
Three scouts now lack but one or
two requirements for the coveted Ea-
gle Scout rank, who expect to make
these up at the next Court of Honor
meeting. There are already seven
Eagles in the local organization.

Thrown from Car

John Wolfe and Robert Hoffman,
both of Oakland, were more or less
seriously injured, and the car in

Sunday afternoon about $3.50 o'clock.
The car had run off. the shoulder
of the road, according to the occu-
pants, and in attempting to get back
to the crown of the road, the car was
headed towards the other side. Fear
ing that they would run into the
bank, the wheels of the car again
changed direction and the car over
turned, pinning Hoffman beneath it
and throwing Wolfe free of the
wreckage. The top being down pro-
baby saved them both from more
serious damage.
Both were more or less scratched
and cut, and had their clothing torn.
Wolfe's kneecap was injured, as was
Hoffman's, his however being so bad
that DR.. N. I. Broadwater, Oakland,
who rendered medical aid, had to
take two stitches in the flesh.
The Ford touring car was so bad
ly damaged that the owner says he
will get another one and use the old
wreck for extra parts. 1t was haul
ed into town by Stanton's Taxi COM
pany.

CUMBERLAND PUBLISHER
ADDRESSES ROTARY CLUB
]. B. Finan Gives Importance of
Advertising In Local Medium
of the Community.

The changes and likenesse between
newspapers of today and fifty years
ago, the Importance of crime and sex
news, and the Importance of adver-
Using in ones local newspaper, were
the most important points brought
out by Joseph B. Finan, publisher of
the Cumberland Evening Times, and
president Maryland State Editorial
Association, in his talk before the
Oakland Rotary club at the William
James hotel Friday evening.
The program for the evening was
given over to the publicity committee.
Capt. James A. Hayden, former edi-
tor of the Republican, was the honor
guest of the meeting. The first issue
of the Republican, March A, 1877, was
taken from the files of the office and
exhibited to members of the club, to
show the advancement made over a
fifty-year period.
Mr.. Finan described certain chang
es which had come about, but that
people, as a whole, still demanded
the same kind of news. He saw no
danger whatever in the publication
of so much crime news in papers of
today. 81 can see no harm in letting
pepole know that crimes are COM
mitted," he said, provided that the
news of such events is written up in
the proper way" The same thing
applied to the amount of "sex" news
which is being published.
The molding of public opinion he
considered very important, but in
order to become influential, the mold
er had to be honest, truthful and
logical. Without these three assets,
he asserted the molder of public
opinion would finally fail. The re-
naming part of his talk was devoted
to the weekly newspapers in the small
towns. He stated that news of acct
dents or crimes of close friends of the
editor should be published as readily
as that of any other person, and like
wise the good news.
Advertising in the local newspaper
was stressed particularly. He said
that he would not advise any person
in a small town to advertise in a
paper in large town, even if some
of them were mailed into that par
ticular town, because the amount
spent could not be justified. For that
reason, he said, the best returns could
be obtained by advertising in ones
local paper and in proportion to the
amount of business which he handled.

One DEAD; MANY INJURED
IN AUTO CRASH SUNDAY
Chevrolet and Cadillac Meet on
Sharp Curve Near Thomas Re-
sulting in Death of One Man

= One man was killed, one severely
hurt and several others more or less
bruised and cut at point on the Oak
land Thomas highway, near Thomas,
West Va, Sunday afternoon, when a
Chevrolet touring car with four &C.
cupants ran into a Cadillac victoria
car occupied by Mr.. R. P. Maloney
and family, of Oakland, and Rev. FIR.
Schoennan, of Thomas, West Va.
The occupants of the Chevrolet car
were William McVicker, of Rowles-
burg, West Va, who died Sunday ev-
ening as a result of the injuries he
had sustained, at the Davis Memorial
Hospital; John o. Whetsell, also of
Rowlesburg, who was severely injured,
and two others whose names could
not be learned. One of the unknown,
driver of the Chevrolet car, received a
broken arm and cuts and decorations
about his face. The occupants were on
their way to baseball game at Davis.
Immediately following the accident,
McVickers, whose death resulted, was
discovered lying on the highway, hav-
ing been thrown from the car by the
impact. He was taken to the hospital
by Mrs. Willis, of Kempton, who was
passing in her car at the time of the
accident. Whetsell was not discovered
for several minutes afterward, as the
car top had fallen over him. He was
in the rear seat on the right side Of
the car and was unconscious when
found by Mr.. Maloney and others who
had gathered. Both Whetsell and Nc
Vickers had fractures of the skull.
The occupants of the Cadillac car
were badly shaken and it is said that
had it not been for the fact that the
car was of heavy construction, they
would probably all have been killed or
at least badly injured.
The point of contact was in the GEN.
tire of the Cadillac car, which demol-
ished the fender and body on that
side, also breaking all the glass of the
windshield. The Chevrolet car was
badly damaged.
Upon returning to Oakland, Mrs.
Maloney complained of a severe head
ache and upon an examination being
made by DR.. Broadwater, who had
been summoned to treat her, it was
found that she had sustained very
slight conclusion. The children as we'll
as Mr.. Maloney and his guest were
unhurt.
The accident happened on a very
sharp turn in the road near Breed
love. The front of the Cadillac car
was not touched by the other car, the
owner asserted. The driver of the
Chevrolet car attempted to make the
turn at a high speed with the result
that it crossed the highway and COL
lided with the Maloney car, striking it
squarely in the middle.
The damage done to the car owned
by Mr.. Maloney will amount approx
imately to 5000, which is covered by
insurance. The cost of making the
necessary repairs to the Chevrolet
car will be from $500 to $500, it was
estimated by those who saw the
wreck.
