TWO ARMY AIRMEN DIE IN
PLANEACCIDENT INCOUNTY
Machine Nose Dives Into Large
Oak Tree Near JOhnsOn's on
National Highway Saturday

Two army airmen, First Lieut.. Har-
ry A. Saunders, of Arizona, and Ser
geant Edwin Woodward, Waynesville,
N. c., were burned to death about
o'clock Saturday afternoon when the
or type army observation plane in
which they were en- route east crashed
and burned on the farm of Thomas j.
johnson on the summit of Little Saw
age Mountain, in Garrett county.
According to information CLEANED
by First Lieut.. Edgerton F. Powell, of
the Pittsburgh recruiting office, who
was driving along the National High
way in an army truck en- route to
spend the weekend with his family in
Cumberland and who arrived shortly
after the crash, the road was obscured
by a dense fog and in his opinion
the crash was caused by the low WISH
bility.
Saw Mill Operator Hears Crash
Several persons, including Raymond
Minnick, who was operating a saw
mill but three hundred feet away, told
Lieut.. Powell that the engine of the
plane seemed to be missing and that it
was having trouble in maintaining it's
already low altitude when first seen.
The plane crashed nose-frst into a
good sized oak tree, tearing it away
by the roots and then landing in
hickory tree which turned the plane
over and it was set on fire.
Minnick tried to extricate the men,
but both were burned beyond recogni-
ton before he could move the plane
with a fence rail employed as lever.
The bodies of the two fliers were
taken into Frostburg and government
officials at Boiling Field advised of the
crash by Lieut.. Powell.
Letters Identify Saunders
Lieut.. Saunders was identified by
letters on his person which were not
burned. Lieut.. Powell said that the
parachutes of both men were loosened
and that indications were that they
were preparing to jump but did not
have a chance before the plane went
down.
Shortly after the crash hundreds of
persons from nearby points and tour-
lists passing over the National High
way congregated at the scene and i'm
peded traffic as result of the parking
of cars on both sides of the highway.
The instrument board of the ship
was salvaged by a farmer and taken
to Cumberland. The rest of the plane
was complete wreck.
Monday Captains o. F. Peak and
w. F. Hackett, U. S. Army Air Ser
vice, Langley Field, Va, arrived at
Frostburg to conduct a preliminary
investigation of the crash.

AFTER COMMENCEMENT

At this time of the year the young
men and the young women, flushed by
their first commencement, are en-
thusiastic and optomistie as to the
future. 1t is we'll for them to pause
and think that this, indeed, is only
the commencement" of life's strug-
giles.
1t is a fact well recognized by all
students of business and educational
history, that the graduates of our
day are sent into the worlds work
with far better preparation than that
which their fathers and mothers re-
ceived less than a generation ago.
Methods have been perfected, teach
ers are more efficient, our school
superintendent are better qualified,
our housing conditions are better,
good roads and transportation facili-
ties concentrate effort and the value
of a thorough knowledge of princi-
Piles and basic information more gen
orally appreciated. But in face of all
this, competition is more intense so
that the graduate of today has but
little advantage over those of a gene
ration ago. We are all judged by the
standards of the age in which we
live.
Advice is easier given than fol-
lowed. For the last few years those
who have won the honor of a diploma
have, consciously or unconsciously,
been dominated by the personality of
their teachers, whose sole aim has
been to instill into their minds the
things that will serve as the founda-
ton upon which to erect the moral
and business structure of their future
careers and with patience and skill
they have endeavored to place within
their grasp the equipment necessary
for success. But after all they could
but lay the ground work.
The graduates, as well as those Of
US W WHOll commencement udy Is
but joyful recollection, should re-
member that we are living in an age
of marvellous achievement Every
day records some advance in methods
of thought and life. 1t is necessary
to frequently make quick decisions in
order to adjust ourselves to rapidly
changing conditions. Methods of &C
complishment though perfect today
are discarded as obsolete tomorrow
Consequently, it is necessary for the
young men and women graduates of
today, to lay out their plans, then
bend every effort to accomplish their
desires, recollecting, however, that
life's currents are swift, and that he
indeed is fortunate who does not have
to row against the tide.

An Appreciation Expressed by Ma
tive of the HOyes Community.

To the Editor of The Republican
If the old adage, "a community is
to be judged by it's churches, schools
and cemetery" still holds true, the
community of Hoyes, Garrett county,
ranks high.
For nearly one hundred years ithas
had successful Methodist Episcopal
church, supported by a loyal, God
fearing people. Its school has kept
up with the progress of the times.
Decoration Day, with a number of
my loved ones, l was privileged to
visit this, to me, sacred shrine. I
was delighted to see the great i'm
provement in the church cemetery. 1t
has been enlarged, doubling it's size.
Improvements have been made by
erecting a fine wire fence with suita-
BILE gates around the property. Inter
ested friends have graded their lots
and placed shrubhery and flowers,
which not only beautify the lots and
cemetery, but bespeak ministrations
of love.
All this has been accomplished by
the fine class of loyal people of the
community, aided some little by
friends from distance.
/ wish to commend and congratu-
late these faithful people for their
praiseworthy achievements. 1t was
in the Hoyes Methodist Episcopal
church that I went to Sunday school
and church in my youth and found
Christ as my personal Saviour.
l had good and faithful teachers
