Why A Public Library?

To The Editor of The Republican:
When people wish to settle in a
community their first questions are
about Churches, Schools and then the
Library. "What opportunities will my
children have to get good wholesome
reading matter? 1t is impossible to
buy all that they need along that line
and am anxious that my children
should have all the educational advan-
tages that T lacked"
Oakland is well blessed with all
these advantages but when discussing
the question of library there is al
ways slight pause. Yes, we have a
good library but it is wholly main
tanned by voluntary contributions.
Our library has now been in existance
for rather long period of time, even
before larger communities undertook
the task of providing for this impor-
tant necessity. But, there are many
handicaps to be met and overcome in
keeping public library in growing
and healthy condition.
The Oakland Library has good
rooms and many good books but new
books must be added and librarian
must be paid to take care of the books
and see that they are returned in due
time. Now, all this brings out the
ever recurrent need-namely money
to meet the necessary expenditures.
How are we going to get this
money? Only by voluntary contri-
buttons. The benefit method is pretty
we'll worked for other needful activi-
ties. So, this letter is for plea to all
who are benefited-adults and chill
dren, but especially the children.
Travel and reading are among the
best methods of developing culture
and as travel is denied many growing
children we should give to them the
opportunity of reading good litera-
ture. Then, let us get together and do
our bit toward helping this most
worthy cause and DO 1T NOW, as
we have a deficite at this time. .-
Do not let this good work lag on ac-
count of indifference as it is one of
the greatest assets that the people OF
Garrett county has to entertain the
adult and help build up the mentality
of the growing child.
MRS. H. A. LORADITCH,
President Library Association.

SCHOOL OF ORATORY MAY
LOCATE In MT. LAKE PARK
Summer Session Would Bring
Number of People Herewith
Present OdeOn in August

Mr.. R. j. McKin, managing direc-
tor of the Byron w. King School of
Oratory, spent the weekend of June
IL, at the Mt. Lake Park Hotel. 1t
was found that the object of Mr.. Nc
Kim's visit was for the purpose of
securing a suitable and desirable To-
cation for the Summer School of By
ron w. King School of Oratory. This
school has enlarged to an extent that
it is becoming impractical to continue
holding their summer session at their
present location in Pittsburgh, Pa.
Mr.. McKim has been travelling thru
out the western part of Pennsylvania
and in Maryland to the extent of Mt.
Lake Park, hoping to find suitable
location that would encompass de-
sirable spot conducive toeducation and
earnest effort and would at the same
time provide something of vacation
and recreation for those enrolled in
the summer school.
The large majority of summer stu
dents are either professors in charge
of speech arts in their various uni
versities, actors or actresses who due
to the calibre Of their play interpre-
tations are accepted by the school and
have enrolled for some specific pur-
pose such as, the art of makeup,
stage scenery, stage lighting, the de-
velopment of poise and grace on the
stage which is the one thing that will
smooth an actors artistry, or to at
tain some special tone quality in their
voice.
The Byron w. King School of Ora
tory numbers among it's Alumni such
famous persons as Franklin Roud-
craft Hipps, Sue Pearl Hamilton, Karl
Emerson Williams, Anne Tenant,
Katherine Arlene Fisher, the late
President Mckinley, the late Chancel-
lor Mccormick and others of equal
note.
In order to effectively introduce the
Byron w. King School Of Oratory to
the community the directors have de-
cided to hold an Odeon the third
week in August at Mt. Lake Park.
This Odeon will be a portrayal of
what the school has to offer in speech
and dramatic arts. The Alumni have
unreservedly indicated their whole
hearted loyalty to their Alma Mater
by giving their time and services to-
ward this Odeon. The program will
consist of several play productions OF
a worth while nature, something that
will leave a thought,-an inspiration
with it's audience and yet with a view
of humor. Although the productions
are being selected from broadway
casts the school feels that the selec-
ton must be careful and critical as
such play productions will be a direct
representation and introduction of the
school and must need interpret the
solidity of it's high attainments and
splendid methods.
In addition to the play production,
children kermess will be given. Little
tots who have performed before the
most critical audiences in the Pitts
burgh theatres and are marvellous in
their technique and artistry, will per-
form.
Humorous monologues will be pre-
sented that will leave the audience
laughing,-leave them cognizant of
the greatness and goodness of life
an inspiring lecturer of national note,
and in all the very cream of those
who cause US to forget our worries,
the dullness and drabness of life for
the moment and leave US with a new
courage.

The Union Printers by winning
made the coping Of the cham
pionStip for some team just that
much fcrther away. Navy Yard,
in the lead by one game before
yesterday. could have taken a toe
hold on the situation had it won,
but, no, a terrible three-baSe drive
stopped it and won the game for
the Printers.
Holbrook inserted this timely
sock for the Typos. 1t came in
the seventh inning with the bases
full. Lefty Kuhnert was the
pitching victim. He had just en-
tered the proceedings as a relief
hurler for Swygert.
The situation in this league
gets worse as the games 90
along. Today the Printers
play again, this time against
Naval Hospital, and should q
victory be registered over the
GObS, no telling what will
happen.
In fact, the board Of control
handling the weekday league
championships, supposed to start
August 18, is thinking strongly
of setting the opening date Of the
series up to August 81, because it
has a feeling that the Govern
ment teams will not finish their
series in time.
The only way out Of the situ-
alton would be for the Naval Hos
pital team to defeat the Union
Printers today and follow against
Navy Yard tomorrow. Then they
would be crowned Second-half
champions Of the league and
league representatives to the big
series as well, as they won the
firSt-half championship, it will be
remembered.
A three-game series to de-
eide the championship looms
If the GObS win today and
lose to Navy Yard tomorrow.
This would have to happen
should that situation come
about.
Navy Yard would be the second
half winner, thus the necessity Of
three-game play-off to decide the
Government League representa-
tive to the city series.
The board Of control for the
series has arranged a new Sched-
ule should the Navy Yard ToSSers
win the second-half champion
ship. 1t is a little different from
the one supposed to start August
18. Here It Ii:

RUGGED
MAN Of MAT

Mike Romano, the Italian
wrestler who tolls with Billy Bar
tush in the headline match of
Promoter Joe Turner's show
Thursday night at the Washing
ton Auditorium, is noted for his
durability. Down the ages Italians
have earned fame for their rug
gedneSs. and this Romano person
seems to have inherited his
strength from his forebearS.
Romano gave an example Of
his endurance when he stayed
two hours with the fierce Ed
Stranger" Lewis, reputed one
Of the cruelest wreStlerS in the
game. When the Stranger"
grips one in that terrible head
lock, he shows no mercy for his
prey. The fact that Romano
went two hours with the "Stran-
gler" deserved mention. They
don't usually last that long with
the STRANGER"
Bartush, though hardly 20
years Of age, will prove no
novice for Romano. A Lithua-
nian, he is the son of one Of
the star heavyweight mat
men. His father taught him
the various holds ever since
his childhOOn days and this
younger Bartush has literally
grown up with the earmarks
Of q firSt-claSS grappler.
Good, old Chief White Feather,
the full-blooded Sioux Indian, re-
turns to wrestle DOC" Wilson,
the ex-Indiana University raSSler.
The Chief never smokes the pipe
of peace with his opponent,
which shouldn't be good news
for the Doctor" Maybe, the
chief will put on his war paint
and braid his hair with feathers.
And, perhaps, he may pitch his
wigwam near the ringside. Darn
clever, those Indians.
Milo Steinborn, the huge Ger
man who tosses 16-inch shell as
though they were pebbles, mixes
with Moose Norbeck, the Canadian
woodchopper. Probably, Moose
may hew down this big Teuton.
George Calza, the handsome
Italian. meets Frank Brunowicz,
the Polish champion, who treats
his playmates SO pleasantly. Oh,
yeah?
Ladies, accompanied by es-
corts, will be admitted free.
