Man, SO, Sees Moving Pictures
for First Time at Bond School

George Oliver Broadwater, 83 years
of age, Bond, this county, has just
seen his first moving picture.
He was one of those present at the
Bond school house last Thursday ev-
ening when the State forestry picture
"Trees of Righteousness" was shown
and the movement of the people on
the screen was a never-ending source
of wonderment brought to him thru
out the three reels when they were
projected by H. C Buckingham, the
district forester. The evening was
one Of revelations to the aged gen.
tleman.
He had heard of moving pictures,
he said, but had them figured out as
fast moving stere opticon views. That
he enjoyed the entertainment goes
without saying. Mr. Broadwater,
however, was only ore of a number
who last week saw moving pictures
for the first tine in their lives, but
he probably was the oldest one among
them.

Ice Boat of Local Mechanics
Makes so Miles Per Hour

An ice boat, made by R. E. Daw-
son and Sherman White, two mechan-
ically minded young men of Oakland,
has been tried out on Deep Creek
Lake, eight miles north of Oakland,
and it attained a speed of approx
mately 30 miles per hour shortly af-
ter the take-off.
The power for the machine is OBJ
tanned from a two-cylipder motor
cycle motor, with five-foot propel-
lor attached in front. The craft,
which resembles an airplane minus
its wings, is seventeen feet long, has
wood frame with cloth covering,
and weighs three hundred pounds.
It carries two passengers, the pilot
operating the machine from the rear
cockpit where he has the rudder bar,
ioystick and accelerator at his finger
tips.
Deep Creek Lake, fifteen miles in
length, and approximately one mile
wide in places, with a shore line of
rs miles, affords ample space for the
craft to perform, and it is expected
that the success of Garrett county's
first attempt at ice boating will be
followed by many more in the near
future. The boat is now owned by
Sherman White and Otto Shultz.
