MOVIE HOUSE AT BAYARD
Blaze Is Thought to Have Been
Started by Lightning

The Victoria Theatre, at Bayard
W. Va, was entirely consumed by fire
Tuesday afternoon about $3.50 o'clock

PREMIUM LIST REVISED

That farmers of Garrett and ad-

ments, increasing number of prizes
in the cattle classes.
Mr.. Speicher further stated that he
had been having the cooperation OF
practically everyone, and was assured
that the exposition would have the
united support of many in all parts of
the county.
Since all premiums have been paid
within the past few years, more and
more people of the county have been
entering exhibits at the Fair, and
last year the largest number of exhi-
bits in several years was recorded.
The dates for the Fair this year are
September 16, II, 10, and 10, and were
set after Manager Speicher had found

POPULARITY OF DEEP CREEK LAKE INCREASING RAPIDLY
WITH ORGANIZATIONS MAKING PERMANENT CAMPS

boys of Allegany county and Garrett
county, at the Oakland Boy Scout
headquarters above Glendale Bridge;

Westernport and Keyser, in their
Green Glade lodge near Swanton.
Forty Scouts of Grafton Troop, I'M
der Rev. A. ]. Torrey, scoutmaster,
just closed two weeks outing spent
at the Oakland Scout camp, and the
Oakland Scout Troop, composed Of
about 40 boys, will leave here August
8 for their annual summer outing Of
two weeks. The Connellsville Scouts
also expect to encamp along the lake
sometime during the month of Au-
gust.
Clarksburg Troop expects to return
next year and to bring along the Boy
Scouts, numbering approximately 300,
who reside in that area.
The number of students from Holy
Cross will increase each year until
there are go in camp. They spend
from the middle of June until the first
of September at their outing place.
1t is hoped to make the Tri-County
All Camp an annual affair along the
lake, and it is said that inquiries have
been received in Oakland from num-
Der of Y. M. C. A. officials of West
Virginia and Pennsylvania cities in
regard to camp sites. It is also ex-
pected that the Grafton Troop will re-
turn next year.
With these organizations assured
for future years, and more expected;
with the addition of a number of cot
tages and increase in the number of
camping parties each year, the out
look for Deep Creek Lake, the second
largest artificial body of water in the
United States, seems bright, accord
ing to a concensus of opinion of cit
liens, tourists and visitors in this Sec
ton.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1930-07-24

The popularity of Deep Creek Lake
as a spot for summer camping and
for water activities of all kinds, is rap
idly increasing, if the number of
groups that are now camping or are
planning to camp, can be taken as a
criterion. An estimate shows that at
least 300 in organizations will have
been encamped along the shores Of the
lake before the present season ends,
and that approximately that many
more will have spent some time in
small parties along the lake. This
estimate is exclusive Of the many
bathers who may be seen daily at
Halsey's, Thayer's, The Will O. the
Wisp, Rainbow Inn or at the many
privately owned piers jutting out in
the water.
While the summer encampment OF
groups of people continues, permanent
summer cottages are being erected by
property owners along the artificial
body of water, property in general is
being improved, motor and other boats
are becoming quite numerous and
more and more people are becoming
convinced that Deep Creek Lake Of
fers great possibilities as drawing
card for tourists and the moderately
wealthy class of citizens.
At the present time the following
organizations are encamped at some
point along the shore:
Clarksburg troop of Boy Scouts, 30
in number, under Max Heymire, the
scout executive, at Rainbow Inn pen
insula; three troops of Scouts num-
boring 80 or more, from Pittsburg,
Pa, at McHenry, who are quartered
in their permanent camp huts; 30
members of the Holy Cross Univer-
sity, Washington, D. c., who are stu
dents preparing to enter the priest
hood, at their permanent quarters
east of Glendale Bridge; 40 All Club

CONSERVING SABBATH Is
THEME AT PARK MEETING
Drs. Davis and Wylie Uphold
Sunday in Lords Day Alliance
Meeting at Mt. Lake Park
DEBATE HELD IN EVENING

christians can best serve God by
conserving the Lords Day." DR.. w.
w. Davis, general secretary of the
Lords Day Alliance of Maryland, said
in his address at Mt. Lake Park on the
morning of the annual field day of
that organization, held last Sunday in
the auditorium.
In witnessing what the Bible said
about the Lords day, Mr.. Davis said:
at is Gods gift, it is Gods first gift,
older than the home itself, and the
purpose of the Lords Day is for wor-
ship"
In comparing what it had done for
the white race, he compared the i'm
portance of the white race 500 years
ago, and its place during the past
200. America was settled by lovers
of the Lords Day, and they have
made the country what it is today by
the study of the Bible and the observ-
ance of the Lords Day. The white
race was insignificant before religion
became important with them"
Rev. David G. Wylie, president of
the National Lords Day Alliance, of
New York, in his address in the after
noon, made plea for the best of days
and said that the Christian civilization
was like a cathedral, supported by
many columns-home, school, Bibl9
church, estate, Sunday.
He was in favor of the Sabbath be-
cause it was a divine institution, an
economic necessity, and a witness to
religion. 1t also set the world to
singing, he said.
"Jesus kept the Sabbath but modi-
fled it and restored it to the original
idea of the brightest and best day of
all the week. 1t was restored to the
day for doing good, visiting friends,
worshiping, and having unharmful
recreation.
"The State makes laws concerning
the Sabbath but only because it be-
lieves that it's people should be strong
and virile, and to be this way they
must rest. Enemies of the Lords Day
were described by DR.. Wylie as care
less Christians and commercialism.
christians cannot expect unbelievers
to observe the Sabbath if they do not
do it themselves" he pointed out.
DR.. Wylie closed his address by ex-
pressing the belief that God would
preserve the Lords Day and keep it
as it should be.
A debate was held in the evening
on the subject, Resolved, That the re-
sponsibility of the pulpit for the con-
servation of the Lords Day is greater
than that of the pew. Rev. c. A.
Shilke, pastor of St. Marks Lutheran
church, Oakland, took the affirmative
side of the question, while DR.. w. W.
Davis took the negative.
Approximately 300 attended the
various meetings throughout the day,
which were termed by DR.. Davis to
have been very successful.

EVERYONE HAS CHANCE TO
WIN IN GARDEN CONTEST
National Awards For Which LO-
cal Winners Are Eligible to
Compete Are Announced

The award of Merit" the greatest
honor that can come to any person
for the improvement and beautifica-
ton of home grounds, will be confer
red on those gardens whose premises
rank highest in the Yard and Garden
contest, it was definitely announced
this morning by Mrs. A. L. Lee, con-
test chairman.
This national distinction is given
only to those individuals whose work
in planting and identifying their
grounds is considered as an outstand.
ing achievement and as a notable con-
tribution in making America more
beautiful and fruitful nation.
The "Award of Merit" is eagerly
sought after and highly priced by
home gardeners in every part of the
country, Mrs. Lee stated, and it is on
ly conferred on prize winners in local
Yard and Garden contests such as is
being sponsored by the Oakland Civic
club and The Republican.
Winners of the Oakland contest will
be eligible to receive nine beautiful
pieces of ornamental stone garden
furniture, which have been offered as
prizes in the 1880 National Yard and
Garden contest, sponsored by the Yard
and Garden contest association OF
America, Mrs. Lee announced.
Each contestant in the local contest
has chance to win one OF these
beautiful trophies, for entries in the
national competition are open to all
first prize winners in the local con-
tests.
Stories and photographs of the Win
ming yards in last years National
Yard and Garden contest were pub
lished in hundreds of the leading
newspapers and national magazines
throughout the United States, and all
entrants are especially urged to take
photographs of their yards and gar
dens when they are at their best.
All Have Chance
The family living on small place
has just as good an opportunity to
win as does the owner of large es-
tate. Size of the premises makes no
difference in deciding who is to re-
ceive this distinction, it was said. The
determining factor is the degree Of
improvement and Identification Of the
home grounds brought about through
the proper planting of trees, shrubs
and flowers.
Local garden contests will be ex-
pected to keep up the Improvement of
their yards throughout the summer
months in order that they may bring
! to Oakland the distinction of develop
ing beautiful yards.
Members of the Civic club are now
working on the list of prizes to be
distributed locally to winners in the
Oakland contest, and in all probability
these will be announced next week, ac-
cording to Miss Lottie Loar, president
of the club.
"Since the beginning of the contest
in Oakland, there has been a noticea-
BILE improvement in the appearance OF
the entire town." Miss Loar said.

Ray Uphold Succumbs After Leg
Is Amputated-Was Fleeing
With Father When Shot
WOUNDS BECAMEINFECTED

At the door of a moonshiner,
whose identity is unknown to the
Garrett county officials, is laid
the death of Ray Uphold, aged
seventeen years, the son of Asa
J. Uphold, of near Deer Park,
who died early this morning in
Memorial Hospital, Cumberland,
where his right leg was ampu-
tated at a point below the knee.
The youth was shot last Friday
evening and was taken to the
Cumberland hospital last night
after infection developed.
The boys left leg was also lacer-
ated by buck shot, but the wounds
were healing when infection devel-
oped in the right leg, which received
most of the charge from the gun Of
the unknown moonshiner, which was
fired at close range. The operation
was performed by DR.. William A.
Oracle.
Discovered Moonshine Plant
According to the boys father, Asa
J. Uphold, who came to Oakland this
morning to arrange for the transport
tation of the youths remains from
here upon the arrival of train No.
81 at $3.50 o'clock, he and his son went
into the woods about five o'clock and
were hunting groundhogs. While go-
ing through the woods, Mr.. Uphold
said, they discovered a still and other
parts of moonshine plant few steps
from the point where they had seen
it. Upon making the discovery, Up
hold said that he and his son imme-
diately started to run in the opposite
direction, as they did not want to be
discovered by the operators of the
plant, who might mistake them for
prohibition agents.
Uphold said they had taken a few
steps when shot rang out and his
son called to him saying, "Oh, Pm
shot" This occurred about seven
o'clock. Mr.. Uphold attempted to
carry his son home but was compelled
to give the task up after traversing
the mountainside for a distance of a
mile or more. Laying him down he
walked to a farmhouse two miles dis
tant where he secured help from the
owner of a truck and in this vehicle
the boy was taken to his home.
Dr. N. I. Broadwater was immedi-
ately summoned. DR.. Broadwater adj
vised that the boy be taken to hos
pital at once. His condition became
serious yesterday and the removal of
the wounded boy to the institution
was accomplished yesterday after
noon.
Find Mash But No Still
Acting States Attorney A. T. Mat
thews, Sheriff w. D. Casteel and Dep
uty Sheriff Joy Griffith accompanied
Uphold to the place described by him
when he reported the shooting Satur-
day morning. The spot is in the
Bethlehem Church community about
two miles from Eagle Rock. The Off
GERS said they found quantity Of
mash and evidence that still had
been in operation, but the apparatus
had been removed.
No clues as to the identity of the
owner of the plant or of the person
who did the shooting have been dis
covered by the authorities, but added
impetus to their efforts has been
given since the report of the death OF
the youth reached Oakland this MORN
ing.
