ATTEMPT TO BE MADE TO
UNIFORM THE BOYS BAND
Boys Must Look Well During
Engagements" Director Says

That an attempt would be made to
raise funds to purchase uniforms for
the Gilbert Brown Boys Band was
announced yesterday by R. R. Gil
bert, director.
"Since the boys have been getting
engagements to play in towns other
than Oakland, it is almost impera-
tive that they have some regularity
in dress" Mr. Gilbert said. "Hereto-
fore most of the boys have had white
trousers, but the coats and shoes have
been all coIors, and it spoils the APP
pearance of the band as a whole"
The needed parts to the uniform
Mr.. Gilbert has in mind would cost
approximately SIT each. He is want
ing to purchase for each of the boys
white caps with blue braid, blue coats
with white braid, and white shoes.
The boys would continue to wear the
same color trousers that they have
been wearing throughout the present
year.
"Some local support is necessary if
Oakland is to have band worthy
of sending to other cities to represent
it," Mr.. Gilbert stated, "and the ma
jority of the local support must come
in from donations. 1t is to be hoped
that a number of people will respond
to an appeal for funds. We certain
ly need assistance.
A letter thanking the Gilbert
Brown Boys Band for the services
they rendered at Mt. Lake Park at
the law enforcement meeting recently
has been received by Mr.. R. R.. Gil
bert, director, from G. W. Crabbe
superintendent of the anti-saloon
league of Maryland.
The band is praised very highly
in the letter.

The contagion of laughter,
For the longing apart,
For the joys that come after,
For the things that we feel
When we clasp, when we kneel.
Thank God for the sharing,
For the things of life's living.
Thank God for the riches
OF flowers in the bitches,
For the roof from the weather,
The freside together,
For a step at the portal,
For the love we have treasured,
For something immortal,
For our grief, for our mirth,
For our heaven on earth,
For the things of the spirit!
There, a meadow-lark sings.
Do you hear it, do your hear it?

Mrs. Calvin Wins Case in Local
Court.


BY decree signed by Judge D. L.
Sloan, on Monday Of this week, as a
result of an equity suit tried in the
Circuit Court for this county on July
II, the claim of Alice Carey Calvin,
defendant in the action, that she is
the sole owner Of a spring located
upon her premises along the National
Pike between Grantsville and Frost
burg, was upheld against the claims
Of the plaintiffs, George D. Meese
and Hazel Meese, his wife.
The parties to the suit are the own
ers of land on opposite sides Of the
National Pike, both parcels of land
having originally been part of the
old Thomas Johnson farm. At the
trial of the case it was shown that
the spring in question is a very cop
ious one and provides sufficient water
for a number of families and that the
original grantor of both parcels of
land had reserved the right to use
the water on the Calvin property and
then conveyed this right to the form
er owner Of the present Meese prop
erty. The evidence further showed
that early this spring Mr.. Meese went
to Miss Calvin and appraised her Of
the fact that he desired to put in
pipe line, in accordance with his deed,
and convey some water from the
spring to his property. On the wit
ness stand Miss Calvin denied that
she agreed to this while Mr.. Meese
and other witnesses stated that she
had recognized the rights Of Mr..
Meese and stated that she would
make no objection. 1t was further
shown that after the pipe line was
in Mr.. Meese suggested certain I'M
provements to the spring and under
standing that same was agreeable to
Miss Calvin secured the services Of a
stone mason and had the work done.
Frequently, according to the evidence,
Miss Calvin was out where this was
being done and seemed satisfied, but
after it was practically completed
and before the concrete had hardened
either tore it out or had it done.
Upon learning Of the action OF Miss
Calvin, Mr.. Meese applied for an in
junction to restrain her from inter-
fering with his right to the water
from the spring and the various
questions involved were taken up be-
fore the Court in the above hearing.
The decision turned upon an unusual
/ question of law and finally decided in
! favor of the plaintiff because OF a
Technical defect in the wording Of the
( ..eservat n of the water in the spring
( contained in the original deed, the
| Court hola 7g that by the wording of
the reserva, .pns only a personal right
to the sprin was retained by the
original gran. IS and that they had
nothing which ey could convey. The
case was one OF he most interesting
heard in tie Garr1tt county court for
quite WI. e.

County Treasurer r. M. Huddles-

real estate, which provides for
naming the true commercial value
of such property with a GORE
spending reduction in the tax
rate. Under the present system,
according to DR.. HuddleSton. an

an extreme high tax rate which

chase Of Fairfax County real es-

Or. Huddleston's proposals were

farmers stating that they feared
that the net result of the change
would be an increase in their pro-
perty taxes especially as the pre-
sent system is in use in practically
all counties in Virginia.
