definite plans for worthwhile exhibit,
which shall be representative OF the
activities of all the clubs throughout
the county, in the belief that this will
encourage all the clubs to come for
ward and assist In the work. And the
cooperation OF all the clubs is urged
so that this exhibit may portray To as
great an extent as possible the many
activities and the variety of work done
by the clubwomen in the county.
To this end the federation committee
chairmen will get in touch with the
club chairmen. call a meeting and get
together and discuss all phases OF the
proposed exhibit. Each committee
chairman In the federation will com
municate with the corresponding chair

chairmen of education OF the various
clubs in the county, and so on down

mately 10 for the various clubs. This
will make every chairman in every
club an active worker in the program
OF the federation exhibit. as well as the
federation Chairmen themselves
While In some instances 1t may be
deemed advisable for several commit
tees to form combination for the pur-
pose OF making one exhibit. in other
cases it will be found that not all clubs
have the same or a similar number of
chairmen; but these are all details that
will be worked out at future meeting

TABULATION OF SCHOOL
CENSUS BEING COMPLETED
Account Is Taken of all Children
Under 10 Years of Age

Figures and tabulations of the CEN
sus of Garrett county children under
the age of nineteen years as taken by
the school teachers in various parts
of the county, will be completed and
ready for publication within week
or two, according to John L. Fitzwa-
ter, attendance officer of the county,
who has been compiling the data re-
ceived at the office of the Board of
Education in Oakland.
The county school census is taken in
connection with the Statewide CEN
sus, which is required every two years
for the purpose of ascertaining how
many children there are in the State,
how many are in school who are of
school age and the number not attend
ing school. The census taking was be-
gun on November l and all school
teachers have made their reports, 1t
has been stated.
Figures of 1926 Given
The census of 1926 showed that
there were 1862 children in the
county under the age of 10 years;
1866 of these were attending public
school, and so of them were in non
public schools. This left 6,706 chill
dren above and under the age limit of
required attendance, with the eXcep-
ton of a very small percentage who
should have been in school but were
not.
The census also showed that 81 chill
dren were physically defective and 18
mentally defective, all of whom were
unable to attend school because Of
their affection. Since 1926 several of
these deficient children have been sent
to various institutions for treatment,
through the orthopedic societies, and
it is thought that this years figures
will show a decided decrease in the
number of detectives.
Ten colored children in the county
under the age of 10 were listed in the
census. Seven of these were in school
and three under the school age.
Many people are under the impress
sion that a child finishing the grades
before he is fifteen years of age is not
compelled to go to high school, but &C.
cording to school officials every child
is required to attend school until he
or she has attained the age of fifteen

ATTENDANCE AT POULTRY
SCHOOLS SATISFACTORY
Specialist Lectures on Brood
ing--TO Take up Other Subjects

A very satisfactory number of per-
sons have been present at the various
meetings held in Grantsville, Friends
vile, Accident and Oakland in connec-
ton with the poultry schools being
conducted by w. H. Rice, poultry
specialist of the University of Mary
land during the present week.
In the first of the series of meet
ings, Mr.. Rice lectured on housing the
poultry. He pointed out that housing
of poultry was probably the most i'm
portant factor in poultry production
in this county. He listed and dis
cussed five main factors to keep in
mind in the construction of poultry
houses for laying birds as follows:
Convenience to the attendant, cheer
full surroundings for the birds such as
light; dryness, it being more impor-
tant that the house be dry than warm;
ventilation; economical construction.
The first lectures on brooding were
given yesterday, Mr.. Rice saying that
one of the biggest factors was the
control of disease and the production
of chicks on an economical basis.
In the second series of meetings Is
adults and vocational boys attended at
Accident on Wednesday afternoon and
IA persons were at the meeting in
Oakland last night. At the first meet
ing held in Oakland there were II
adults and 81 vocational boys present.
Accident had 25 at the evening session
in spite of adverse conditions. At
Friendsville there were 25 and at
Grantsville there were so persons in
attendance.

Electric Current Turned On In
New Extension Line

Twenty homes and business places
along the Oakland-Aurora highway
are now enjoying the benefits of cleo
trio service furnished by the West
Maryland Power Company through it's
lines, the "juice" having been turned
on last Saturday. For the present
the service extends only as far as
the State line at Gnegy church, SER
vice lines from that point on to Au-
rora not yet having been completed,
but will be within few days.
When service is established all the
way to Aurora the power company
will have added at least 112 new GUS
toners, that number having signified
their intention of becoming CONSUME
ers of the electric current as furnished
by the company. The first new GUS
toner to be supplied on Saturday was

generally liked gas dispenser at Gort-
ner, five miles south of Oakland.
