SIGN YOUR NAME.

The Republican was in receipt on
Tuesday of a notice of a picnic to be
held on July 4th, with the request that
it be printed on the front page of the
current issue. We were pleased to re-
ceive the notice but will be compelled
to refrain from publishing it because
there was no name signed to the no.
tice nor other means that would lead
to the identity of the person sending
the notice in.
1t seems like an endless task in
educating the people to sign their
names to all letters and communica-
tions sought to be published in the
columns of The Republican. The au-
thor's name will not be published but
it must appear on the letter or notice
as an indication of good faith on the
part of the writer.
This particular notice will be pub
lished next Thursday provided the
writer will make himself known. If
not, it must go the way of all anony-
nous publicity-into the wastebasket.

OBEY THE RED AND GREEN

There's an old proverbial saying
and story about locking the born door
after the horse is stolen.
Bringing the thought closer home,
there is the story of the sewer line
strung across the Youghiogheny i'll
town which the mayor and council
ordered closed to foot traffic-but not
until after little boy had fallen into
the water from it and was drowned.
Bringing the same though just as
close home but little closer to the
present time, we have the traffic
lights erected on two of Oakland's
busiest corners-this time, before any
fatal or even serious accidents have
occurred.
There has always been grave dam
ger at these three intersections and
had anyone been injured loud would
have been the complaints of the citl-
zens about the laXity of the council.
The lights have been placed there
to prevent any such accidents. PeC-
pie may think they are being incon-
venienced and may scott at the use
lessness of such signals, but they are
placed in their respective positions for
the safeguarding of life and limb and
should be implicitly obeyed. At the
most one can be delayed only thirty
seconds and what is thirty seconds
in the life of an automobilist? The
thirty-second delay may be the means
of preserving for many years the life
of some little tot or of some one of
mature years. So obey the green and
red and there will be nothing to re-
greet, except possibly the loss of d
half minute in filling an engagement
or arriving at your home for your
lunch or dinner.

VOLUNTEERS

Cooperation, an old word and very
trite one, nevertheless is expressive
of the Oakland Volunteer Fire De
partment and the Stanley Coal Com
pany, Crellin, in their relations one
with the other.
Within the past few months Crel-
lin and other properties owned and
controlled by the Stanley Coal Com
pany has been visited by several fires
the Oakland fire department being
called and promptly responding in
each instance, the runs being made in
almost record time. The de-
partment answered the calls with no
thought of reward, but with the lone
thought Of rendering aid to those
whose properties were endangered.
That's cooperation on the part of the
fire company.
Tuesday, Walter W. Dawson, treas
urer of the Oakland fire company, re-
ceived a check from the Stanley Coal
Company for $50, the third contribu-
ton from the same source within a
short period of time. That shows real
appreciation for what has been done
and incidentally proves that not only
the fire department is cooperative but
also the people of Crellin and those
who are in charge of the industrial
activities at that town.
That's the proper spirit and is ap-
preciated by every person in Oakland.

Leesburg, Florida, the Watermelon
Capital of Central Florida, Says Mr..
Burt Wilson in Letter to The Re-
publican.
To the Editor of The Republican.
Leesburg is the watermelon capital
of Central Florida. Shipments this
week will total about 1000 carloads.
The growers have had a hard fight
for a crop with so much cold weather
during March and April and the insect
pests following. They have earned
the million or more dollars this week S
shipments will bring.
All kinds of farm products are
plentiful this time of the year, but
the long, hot summer has begun and
a few more weeks will find good fruits
and vegetables scarce here and just
when everything is most plentiful in
Maryland, it is the ''tin can season"
in Florida, because the best kind o.
vegetables will not produce in the hot
sand sof Florida during the summer
months.
Next week we will be moving back
to our home in Garrett county, and
although we may wander and spend
most of our time in other parts of the
country we hope Maryland will be
home to us for many years yet to
come. BURT WILSON,.

over the buildings needing it.
Great advancement has taken place
in the matter of bodily cleanliness
since the first bathtub was put in OPP
Grafton on Christmas day, 1912, in
the United States. Civic cleanliness
dates back further than that, and it is
rather a tradition that certain days
of each year be set aside in which
ones property may be cleaned up and
made beautiful.
Oakland needs cleaning up, and
Cleanup Week will be a good time
in which to do it. There will be some
thing for every one to do, and as
Mayor Fraley says, LET US all strive
to make our community the cleanest
