DR.. JOSEPH P. FRANKLIN
ADDRESSES ROTARY CLUB
Allegany County Health Officer
Talks on Duties of Position He
Holds In Allegany County

Dr. Joseph P. Franklin, Cumber-
land, county health officer of Allegany
county, was the principel speaker at
the weekly meeting of the Oakland
Rotary club held last Friday even
ing at the William-James Hotel. He
spoke to members of that body and
number of guests on "The Full Time
County Health Officer"
He outlined the program Of public
health work for Allegany county I'M
der six divisions: Prenatal, child
hygiene and infant welfare, school
hygiene, life extension, sanitation and
disease control, and enlarged upon
each of these topics, applying the
whole to Garrett county.
The public health officer as per-
son being trained in sanitary science,
who devotes all of his time to public
health work and not to private prac-
tice, was explained by DR.. Franklin.
He spoke briefly of the history of the
movement and the fact that the coun-
try sections were the weakest link IN
the sanitary chain. Counties in Mary
land having full-time health officers
include Allegany, Carroll, Baltimore,
Hartford, Calvert, Prince George, Tai
bot and Montgomery.
Applying 1t To Garrett County.
In applying his address to Garrett
county DR.. Franklin said in part:
"There are about $500 school chill
dren in Garrett county. This means
that about $500 have dental defects,
about 100 having organic heart dis
eace, about Is having spinal curva-
ture, flat feet, etc, about 1850 having
defective vision, about 1850 suffer
ing from malnutrition and about 1850
suffering from enlarged tonsils and
adenoids.
"In 1928 there were "a deaths I'M
der one year of age, 20 of these under
bne month. In January and February,
1929, 20 of At deaths have been due
to communicative diseases, eACluolN0 VI
pneumonia. During 1928 there were
3S deaths from heart disease and IL
from neuphritis or disease of the kid
news; IS deaths from cancer, 6 from
tuberculosis, 3 from diphtheria and
one from typhoid fever"
AS to the expense of such an officer,
DR.. Franklin said that the salary
would be between $4,000 and $4,000,
with expenses of about $500 per year.
This would make a total OF approx
mately $4,000, at least $4,000 of which
would be contributed by the State
Health Department. This would
leave about $4,000 for the county to
pay.
Guests included Messrs. George u.
Browning and Daniel E. Orendorf,
members of the Board of County
Commissioners; John L. Fitzwater,
Frank Hansen, Miss Rhesa M King,
public health nurse, and George Il.

OAKLAND-TRI-TOWNS ROAD
TO BE SURVEYED AT ONCE
Chairman Uhl Promises This To
Tri-TOwns Delegation.

A promise to survey, estimate the
cost of construction and locate the
route of the Bloomington-O Oakland
road was made by G. Clinton Uhl,
chairman of the Maryland State Roads
Commission, to a delegation of citi-
zens from Bloomington, Beryl and the
Tri-Towns piedmont, Westernport
and Luke, who waited upon him re-
Gently.
By the proposed route the distance
from the Tri-Towns to Oakland is ap-
proximately % miles while at the
present time it is necessary when mo-
toring over hard surfaced roads to go
via Frostburg and Keyser's Ridge, a
distance of GO miles.
The western end of the road has
been hard surfaced from Oakland to
Mountain Lake Park and from Deer
Park to Wilson's Store.
The Board of Garrett County Com
missioners has recommended to the
State Roads Commission that $79,54O
available for road work in Garrett
county this year be expended in con-
tinuing the improved road from Will
sons Store toward Kitzmiller. This
sum will build approximately two and
a-half miles, which will take the hard
surfaced road to the vicinity of the
cross roads to Kitzmiller, leaving five
or six miles to be improved between
those points. From the cross roads to
the improved road at Bloomington
there are ten miles or so of uniln-
proved road, which latter stretch is
the part which Mr.. Uhl promises to
have surveyed at once.

ELIJAH FRIEND BEATEN
AND ROBBED OF BIG SUM
Three Assailants Escape With
$3.50 Cash and Number of Sc
curities and Notes Monday

Three unidentified robbers, serious
ly injured Elijah Friend of E., Of
Sang Run, by clubbing and beating
him, and then escaped with $3.50 in
cash, some bank certificates, notes,
etc, worth about $1,000, about u
o'clock Monday morning at home he
was visiting at Sand Spring, near
Friendsville. The robbers have not as
yet been apprehended.
Mr.. Friend, who is 80 years of age,
had received $3.50 about 10 o'clock
that morning as payment on mort
gage, and authorities felt that the
three who assaulted him were famil-
lar with this transaction. W. D.
Casteel, sheriff, and Joy Griffith, depu-
ty, were notified and they investi-
gated the case as best they could
with the meagre clues at hand.
Mr.. Friend was unable to identify
his assailants as they all wore masks
and old clothes. Mr. Friend said he
was in the act of tearing a mask from
one of the faces when he was struck
in the mouth. His mouth was badly
cut as was the skin above his eyes,
and his hand was badly bruised, where
the robbers tied him with wires.
This makes the second time Mr..
Friend has been robbed, the first
time the assailants burning the bot
toms of his feet in an effort to get
him to tell where he kept his money,
and other securities.
1t is expected that arrests will
follow in a few days.

Committee members had not
