FAIR DATES SET EARLIER;
ALL OFFICERS RETAINED
Board of Directors Announces
Dates of Annual Fair AS Sep
TENDER 16, II, 10. and 10.

All officers of the Garrett County
Agricultural Fair Association werere.
elected and the dates of the fourteenth
annual fair were decided upon at a
meeting of the Board of Directors
held Tuesday afternoon in the Court
House. Mr.. Henry M. Speicher was
reelected general manager and Sec
rotary.
The dates decided upon for holding
the fair this year were those of Sep

Those now holding Office in the as
sociation include DR.. Henry W. Nc
Comas, president; C. W. Ream, Crel-
lin, vice-president; w. G. Meyers,

hope of having more favorable
weather conditions and thus assure a
better turnout on the part of the ag-
riculturalists and other people of the
county. The weather was such last
year that very few people visited the
fair grounds while it was generally
conceded that the exhibits both in
quality and number far surpassed
those of any previous year.
Although Mr.. Speicher has not an
nounced definite plans concerning the
fourteenth annual exhibit, the prem
ium list will remain practically the
same and the premiums awarded will
positively be paid, it has been stated.
There will be premiums for ex-
hibits of all kinds of live stock, poul-
try, farm products, horticultural pro-
ducts, school work, boys and girls
club work, household articles, domes-
tic arts, etc., and there will also be
many valuable special premiums.
The Board of Directors will remain
as last year until a meeting of the
stockholders of the Fair Association
can be held. At present the follow
ing compose the board: G.. B. M.
Friend, Daniel E. Orendorf, H. L. Por-
ter, J. W. Whorton, A. D. Naylor,
William C. Welch, George D. Brown
ing, DR.. Henry W. McComas, Guy
Hinebaugh and H. A. Loraditch, Oak
land; Charles w. Ream, Crellin; Sam
uel R. Ringer, Bert C. Scott and N.

SPECIAL TRAINING TO BE
GIVEN DISABLED PERSONS
Rehabilitation Supervisor Here
Tuesday Making Investigation
Places Two In Training

For the purpose of helping cripples
of Maryland who are mentally sound
to prepare for jobs which they can
learn to do, and thus be self-support-
ing, Mr.. R. C. Thompson, supervisor
of rehabilitation, under the direction
of the State Department of Educa-
ton, was in Oakland on Tuesday in
vestigating a number of local cases,
and has succeeded in placing two in
training.
"The State Department of Educa-
ton in Maryland, through its voca-
tional rehabilitation division, is inter-
ested in learning of crippled people,
Mr.. Thompson Stated. "Many Grip
pied persons who cannot do the same
| jobs they did before they were hurt
can be taught how to do other jobs
just as well.
"a farmer who can no longer pillow
because of the loss of leg may be
taught the poultry business. A car
penter who has lost an arm may learn
to be foreman in the building trade.
A mill worker who has hurt his back
on a job where he had to do heavy
lifting can often learn to do some
lighter job in the same mill.
"Many people who became crippled
before they were old enough to work
need special training before they can
enter employment. 1t is these dis
abled persons who are over IA years
of age and who can be trained for
jobs which they can do, that may be
helped by the State in getting voca-
tional training and employment.
During Mr.. Thompson's stay in
Oakland, there were six disabled peo-
pie visited. Four of them wish to
finish their elementary and high
school education before accepting the
vocational offer. The other two, Ted
Marley, Deer Park, and William Har-
vey, Kitzmiller, will be given training
along lines that they like and can do.
In training crippled people for en-
ployment the rehabilitation division
makes use of public and private
schools, shops, factories, and offices
throughout the State. The aim is to
make the cripple self-supporting.
Among the requirements Of Grip
pie are found the following: He
must be permanently a cripple and
able to do special kinds of work. He
must also be mentally sound and nor
NAL.
"The correct point of view," Mr..
Thompson concluded, "is to see the
man behind the handicap, and not the
handicap itself; a man with good
mind, two good eyes, two good arms,
a perfect body and one good leg, rath-
err than merely one-legged man."

Oakland High School News

Don't forget, Friday evening the
o. H. S. holds it's opening festival,
Cards and dancing are features of the
evenings program. Harmony Boys
will furnish the music. Admission
will be fifty cents. All patrons and
friends of the school are cordially in
vited.
The Acorn, published by the Fresh
man class, was sold to the public on
Tuesday of this week. This issue was
the best ever published by the class.
Did you note the green print? Why
was it thus?
After a rather difficult trip to Bay
ard on Tuesday night our boys bas-
ketball team was beaten by the Bay
ard team in well fought game. Our
boys were without the service of Ma
roney and Sollars which partly ac-
counts for the fact that the score was
23-9 in favor of Bayard. This will
probably .be our last game this year
unless the challenge we have given
to the highly praised Grantsville team
is accepted.
Last Friday morning an entertain
ment was heard over the radio by
Walter Damrosch's orchestra in the
assembly hall and we hope to hear
another similar entertainment Thurs
day afternoon. This entertainment
was made possible through the cour-
tesy of Elliott's Music Store.
Freshmen girls served tea this af-
ternoon to visitors, members of the
faculty and seniors of the school from
200 until $3.50, the occasion being
visitors day at the school.
The hot lunch girls cleared the sum
of $40, which will be turned over to

FIRE DESTROYS DWELLING
HOUSE AT AURORA, W. VA.
Oakland Firemen Prevent Flames
From Spreading

Fire, originating from defective
fiue, entirely destroyed residence in
Aurora, w. Va, about fifteen miles
south of Oakland, Saturday evening
at 500 o'clock. The property was
owned by J. Albert Shaffer, of Wash
ington, D. c., and was a part of the
Shaffer hotel when that hosiery was
in operation a number of years ago.
The house destroyed contained eight
rooms and was being occupied by H.
B. Dougherty and family, of Aurora.
The flames were discovered by a
neighbor after they had burned
through the roof.
The Oakland Fire Department was
called Immediately and by its timely
arrival prevented the destruction of
several adjacent homes.
The large truck of the department
made the run to Aurora, a distance of
fifteen miles, in eighteen minutes,
according to two members of the de-
partment.
Lack of a water system at Aurora
necessitated the formation of bucket
brigade which was quickly formed and
the 80-gallon booster tank of the
fire engine was kept full, and with this
reserve 1.-The firemen kept the nearby
buildings from burning.
The burned building was practically
destroyed by the time the engine COM
pany reached the town. Some of the
furniture on the first floor of the
structure was carried out and saved.
No insurance, it is said, was carried.
