Pythian Sisters To Hold Valen-
tine Party.

Garrett Temple, No. II, Pythian
Sisters of Oakland plans to have a
Valentine party on February 10, in
stead of the regular program meet
ing according to the members of the
Press Committee, and it is hoped, that
committee says, that as many as pos
sible be present with their families.
The organization is still progress
ing, the committee states, and has
been having some very interesting
meetings during the past few weeks.
The balance of the report follows:
eve were sorry to learn that Sis
ter Leila Gortner was severely burned
and is confined to her bed. 1t is the
hope of the members of the Temple
that she will be out again soon.
eve hope that the sisters will take
more interest in the meetings from
now on and attend more regularly.
While our officers are much pleased
with the attendance, yet there are a
good many more that we would like
to see present"

Cumberland Players Poor Sports

To the Editor of The Republican.
Oakland High School basketball
team played game here with the
Green Street Juniors of Cumberland
on Friday evening. The score was
1915 in favor of Oakland. There
were nine fouls called on Oakland
players and seven on Cumberland.
An article next day in the Cumber-
land papers stated that 20 fouls had
been called on Cumberland and only
four on Oakland and that the referee
had called many unnecessary fouls.
We wrote to the sports editor of
both the Cumberland papers asking
that the erroneous report be corrected
as it was unfair to the public to give
such a distorted impression of Oak
land craftsmanship. They failed to
print anything whatver that would
make a CHAMBERLAIN dteam be seen in
a poor light.
Green Street Juniors, who EVIDENTLY
wrote the article about the game,
showed their craftsmanship, or rather
showed that they lacked such an as
set. The Cumberland sports editors
showed themselves to be one in name
only. AS Rev. D. M. Funk, former
pastor at Oakland, once said: sport
good craftsmanship in sport"
Very truly yours,
O. H. S. TEAM.

err scored the winning field goal.
Lohr and Stemple tossed one foul
each to make the final score 1915.
In the Thomas game, Oakland led
at half time, 1873, and was well in the
lead at the final whistle. Good pass
work predominated. Sanders, with
six field goals, led the Oakland scor-
ers. Stemple and Stanton Tailed the
other three goals.
The Senior girls won from the
Sophomores in the preliminary on last

Maryland Fish and Game Laws Up
held in the Case of NONRESIDENT
Fishing in this State Without a
License and on Property Without
the Permission of Its Owners.
To the Editor of The Republican.
1t will be, we believe, to the advan-
tage of both Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania residents if a true statement of
the facts in the matter of the arrest
and filming of Frank Romesberg, res
ident of Pennsylvania, for illegal
fishing in Maryland waters, is pub
lished misleading account of which
appeared in last weeks Meyersdale
Republican under the heading Sails
bury Siftings."
l. Mr.. Romesberg did not have the
permission of the owners of the Swau-
ger Dam to fish therein; he had the
permission of Mr.. Philip McAndrews
only, who owns but part of the land
surrounding the dam.
2. Even if Mr.. Romesberg had had
the permission of the owners of the
Swauger Dam to fish therein, it would
have been illegal for him to have
done so without a Maryland anglers
license. This he did not have.
3. Mr.. Romesberg was given the
minimum fine under the Maryland law
not, as is stated in the account above
referred to, because in the interim he
had taken out nonresident anglers
Incense, but because at his hearing
he pleaded, a, poverty; b, that he had
violated the law unknowingly. Plea b
was later determined to have been
false at the time Mr.. Romesberg en-
tered it because he had previously
been warned By one of the owners OF
the dam not to fish therein without a
license.
A. Mr.. Romesberg tacitly admitted
his guilt when he failed to appeal
from the decision of the Maryland
magistrate.
5. When Mr.. Romesberg stopped
payment on the check he had given to
pay his fine and costs and which the
magistrate obligingly accepted, and
did not make it good within ten days,
he thereby violated Maryland public
law, Chapter COS, sections 1913 and
123-A, Acts of 1920. The punish
ment for such violation is fine or i'm
prisonment in the Maryland peniten-
tiary or both, in the discretion of the
Court.
6. 1t was not until nine months had
elapsed and after the Sheriff of Gar
rett county had gone to Salisbury to
apprehend Mr.. Romesberg that Mr..
Romesberg wrote to the deputy game
warden at Grantsville to send the
check through a second time. Legal
action for the violation of the above
section of the Maryland public law
had then been started.
7. In direct contradiction of Mr..
Romesberge's quoted remarks in the
above account, the Justice of the
Peace at Grantsville when Mr.. Romes-

Il X i; X :. Il 4 =
A WAYSIDE SERMON
NEEDLESS WASTE.

The capturing of several unlawful
stills within the past few months,
with large quantities of sugar, grain
and other material at nearby points,
brings to mind the foolishness of one
law covering the confscation of any
material found during a raid made
by the proper officials.
The Republican does not know the
exact language of the law, but it pro-
vides that no matter what is found
when a place is raided, everything
must be destroyed. Nothing can be
carried away from the spot of the
raid except perhaps a little "evi
dence" Because Of this law, thous-
ands of pounds of sugar, grain, and
other material must be burned or
otherwise completely destroyed.
At the same time that the thous-
ands Of pounds of sugar are being
burned, the penal institutions, the
hospitals, the insane asylums, and
other places kept up by the State
must buy sugar from various sources,
with money deducted from the total
amount given in by taxpayers. Thous-
ands of people who never saw sugar
often enough to know whether it was
salt or white sand, who are not able
to afford the luxury of putting two
teaspoonsful of sugar in their coffee,
must use it sparingly, and because of
an unwise law enough is being de-
stroyed in Garrett county and other
counties to make pile as large as
the Indian mound at Moundsville.
In some instances, a still is found
so far out in the woods that it would
cost more to recover the sugar and
grain than the commodities are really
worth, and of course the only thing
to do in a case of that kind would be
to follow the letter of the law and de-
stroy the property.
But in the past several months one
still that was captured located within
a mile of Oakland, had as its raw ma
terial sugar and grain valued at $500,
all of which, in compliance with the
law now in effect, had to be destroyed
and was in a manner done.
On Tuesday at Mountain Lake Park
700 pounds of sugar were seized 1t
was destroyed, but it could very cas-
lily have been brought into Oakland
at a cost of less than $500, which
would give 100 destitute families 7
pounds enough to last them a
month by using it sparingly. Or at
a slightly increased cost the same
sugar could have been sent to some
nearby publicly maintained institu-
tion for use of the inmates. Instead it
was destroyed. The law, as a law,
taken in its entirety, is good one,
but it does seem to one who has given
the subject some thought that to de-
stroy perfectly good and wholesome
commodities, in demand and used by
every family and every public insti-
tuition every day of every year, is
something approaching a crime and
should be corrected as quickly and as
equitably as possible.
Why not let discretion be used as
to whether it should be destroyed or
distributed to families and institu-
lions in need of it?
