Miss Rachel Taylor of Woman's Col
lege, U.eOf D., Talks on agriculture"
The porgram on Friday, January
II, was in charge of the Chairman Of
Arts and Crafts, who had secured
Miss Rachel Taylor of the Woman's
College to talk on Architecture !"
Miss Taylor illustrated her talk with
slides, showing that which was correct
and beautiful in buildings and what
was incorrect and inartistic, and how
the surroundings added or detracted
from what otherwise might have been
beautiful. The talk was most inter
esting and instructive. The program
of January IS is in charge of Mrs. A..
L. Cummins, chairman of History.

CLAUDE FULK Is FATALLY
INJURED in MINE MISHAP
Died from Shock on Way to Hos
pital at Cumberland-FuneraI
Conducted Sunday Afternoon

Claude Harold Fulk, aged nearly 20
years, of Crellin, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Albert Fulk, was fatally injured in
the mine of the Stanley Coal Company
on Friday last when he had his right
leg crushed when caught between a
mine car and rib of the mine head
ing. He died in Bolden's ambulance
at a point near McHenry while being
taken to a Cumberland hospital, death
being attributed to shock and loss of
blood.
The young man was employed as a
conductor in the mine and had just
turned a switch when one of the cars
of the train left the rails and crushed
him against one of the mine ribs.
Following brief service conducted
by Rev. c. A. Shilke at the family
home the remains of the youth were
taken to Red House where a formal
funeral service was held in the church
there and interment was made in the
churchyard.
Besides his parents the deceased is
survived by four brothers, Fred, Nor
gan, Albert and Floyd, and by one
sister, Leona.

SCHOOLS ARE ARRANGING
HEALTH DAY ACTIVITIES
Programs to Follow Plans That
Will Train Participants in
Sportsmanship

Special programs in several of the
schools are being planned for May
Day or Child Health Day, to be OBJ
served in Garrett county on May l,
according to Miss Rhesa M. King,
public health nurse, the most elabo-
rate of these being at Grantsville and
Kitzmiller. Mrs. Samuel Cole, health
nurse of the Kitzmiller district, has
arranged a program to be followed in
the schools of her section, and in
structors in the Grantsville school are
arranging for their special entertain
ment on that Gay.
The county as a whole will not OBJ
serve May Day, Miss King said, as
it is impossible to agree upon a def
mite time and meeting place for every
one in the county.
The programs in the schools will
follow plans that will train partici-
pants in a spirit of craftsmanship,
and the students will give health plays
and other active entertainment. The
programs will close with May pole
dance, given by the children, with in
vited parents and patrons Of the
festival present.
This play day plan of athletic
competition is new, thrilling, and
practical" Miss King said. st makes
it possible for every member of the
school and community to participate,
takes them into sunshine and fresh
air; offers them activities suited to
their individual needs; gives them
self-expression through music and
folk dances as we'll as through ath-
letics, and provides exercise through
play"
A number of pre-school clinics are
being planned by Miss King for the
latter part of May, the schedule Of
which will be announced later.

FUNDS FOR FIRE COMPANY
WILL REACH 1925, SAID
Money Received Through Dona-
tiOns, Food Sale and Dance

Funds, amounting to approximate
ly 1925 will have been realized by the
Oakland Volunteer Fire Department
when the proceeds of the food sale,
benefit dance, and donations have all
been counted and turned over to the
treasurer, it was learned this morn
ing.
Donations include a check for $25
from Mr.. W. Harrison, a check for
S25 from the Oakland orchestra, and
money and food from 10 or more
Oakland ladies. A. D. Naylor donated
the use of the hall for the dance, H..
Weber and Sons company donated
flowers, and Carroll Elliott furnished
the piano, and the department wishes
to extend its thanks for these gifts
and also wishes to thank those who
patronized the food sale and dance.
These funds will go toward the
purchase price of the American La
France fire engine which will. arrive
in Oakland in the very near future.
This truck was recently purchased at
a cost of S12,500, and will give Oak
land as good fire protection as towns
of much greater size.
