Crellin Nine Wins Three Games
Over the Weekend

Crellin won three games over the
weekend, two in the Preston County
League and one against Cumberland
B. & o. By defeating Bergman at the
Dixie Camp, near Kingwood, w. Va,
on Saturday, a to 1, the Crellin team
won the right to play Kingwood in the
series for the Preston county cham
pionship. Shaffer pitched for Crellir
and did not allow a hit until the
eigth inning.
Crellin played two games on Sum-
day. The team met Cumberland B.
& o. at Crellin, and with Colaw on the
mound, let the railroaders down with
three hits. He held them hitless until
the eighth inning, and Crellin won, s
to 8.
Immediately after the Cumberland
game the Crellin team drove to King
wood and got the jump on the King
wood team in the Preston county
championship series by winning a to
8. Malouse was pitching for Crellin
allowing eight hits, but striking out
12 Kingwood batters.

HOOVER AND COWARDLY
GUNNER

President Hoover, in his radio
greeting to the International Asso-
citation of Chiefs of Police, delivered
himself of a sentiment which will
have the unanimous approval of good
citizens in every section of the United
States. After calling attention to the
tendency to criticism of the police,
he declared that for the most part
the officers of the law are brave men
who deserve applause instead of con-
domination. Then he added these
makes popular heroes out of crimi-
mails needs replacement by senti-
mentalism that makes popu-
lar hero of the policeman for
the courage and devotion he
shows in protection of our citizens.
Instead of the glorifcation of coward
~ gangsters we need the glorification
of policemen who do their duty and
give their lives in public protection.
These words are words of truth and
wisdom. Coming from such a high
source, they should make deep i'm
preston upon the people. The fact
that a comparatively small number
of policemen have been weak and dis
honest should not be a reason for
thoughtlessly condeming the entire
force. These men take their lives in
their hands every time they go on
duty, and they deserve and should
have the support of all good citizens.
On the other hand, the crooks and the
gunner, who are towards of heart,
deserve only contempt and the full
punishment of the law. Unthinking
denunciation of the police encourages
criminals because they feel that it
helps them to defeat the law. Every
time a popular hero is made out of a
thief or a murdeder it increases the
disadvantage under which the police
constantly labor. Motion pictures
have much to account for in this
respect.
President Hoover has done well to
call this fact to the attention of the
American people. 1t is to be hoped
that his clear-cut words will play a
part in wiping out the dispute which
unpublished crime has brought about
in many of our large cities.

STATE FORESTERS READY
FOR AUTUMN FIRE SEASON
Fire Towers Open Yesterday
Department Better Equipped

The forest fire lookout towers
throughout Maryland were opened
yesterday in readiness for the prompt
detection of fall forest fires. Included
in this number were the four Garrett
county towers, Meadow Mountain,
Bittinger, Thayerville and Shaggy
Mountain. At the direction of the
State Forester's office, the IS look
out watchmen prepared their observa-
ton stations for activity. Recent
cool weather has started the usual
seasonal fall of leaves which will
create the autumn period of forest
fire hazard annually experienced in
the Eastern States. Accommodating
leaves, coupled with the proverbial
Indian summer, produce a real hazard
to Maryland's forested acres.
State Forester F. w. Besley re-
marked that Maryland is entering the
fall fire season better prepared for
promptly detecting fires than was
true last spring. He says this is due
to four splendid new forest fire tow
ers of all steel construction which
have been built during the summer.
Three of these are 100 feet high and
are located in Caroline, Prince Geor-
ge's and Wicomico counties.
The Department of Forestry has
announced a considerable economy
effected in the erection of the new
towers due to the use of specially
trained construction crew of depart
ment employees which was able. to
erect the new structures in a more
efficient manner than towers erected
in previous years. Gratifying contri-
buttons from woodland owners, civic
organizations and county commission
ers have also been helpful in extend
ing the construction funds so as to
protect effectively greater areas OF
woodland than would have otherwise
been possible this fall.

William Ehrhard, pastor of St. Marks
church, Clarksburg, will preach in the
local Lutheran church on Sunday
morning, and DIR. A. B. Learner, of

ing and in the First Lutheran church
of that city in the evening.
This general exchange is brought
about by the Synod through the Stew

purpose of stimulating the interest
in benevolence and stewardship in the
church preparatory to the annual

Buying At Home and From Home
Merchants Should Be Encouraged
Too Much Money Is Being Sent
Away, Which Seldom, If Ever, Re-
turns.
To the Editor of The Republican.
During recent months Oakland has
been visited daily by grocery, bread
and provision trucks, the majority of
them bearing licenses issued in other
States. These trucks, heavily laden,
do not contribuate penny to the up
keep of Maryland's expensive system
of highways and the goods they I'M
load at various business places are
paid for with money contributed by
Oakland and Garrett county people
This money, thousands of dollars in
the aggregate, is taken out of the
community and does not return to us
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1931-10-15

of those entrusted with high office,
and in the general attitude of the peo-
pie toward this government and its
administration.
Regardless of whether communists
are trying to instill their doctrines
into our school children, public schools
should accept the task of teaching
those in their care how to be good
citizens. For a country can only be
what its sons and daughters are.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1931-10-15

hence Oakland is aiding in maintain
ing stores and bakeries, laundries and
wholesale groceries in other states,
while at the same time Oakland has
it's bakery which is operated by a
resident and heavy taxpayer; Oakland
has its laundries which employ Oak
land residents who in turn spend their
money with the Oakland merchants
and the Oakland bakery; Oakland has
its wholesale grocery operated by an
Oakland resident and employs exclu-
sively Oakland labor in its operations.
Hence, everything that is trucked in
from outside sources can be purchased
right at home, at the same price paid
the outside baker, laundryman or
wholesale grocer, the money kept at
home and in circulation, which in turn
may find it's way back to the baker,
the laundry or the wholesaler and
then begin it's rounds again with a
like result.
Now, why buy away from home
when as good bread (and very often
better bread) can be bought right at
your doorway; why send your laundry
and clothing to be cleaned to an out
of-town cleaner or laundryman, and
you, Mr.. Merchant, who should be the
last to buy groceries away from Oak
land, why not patronize the Oakland
wholesaler with delivery within an
hour or less after your order is placed
and at the same price as that charged
by the outside wholesaler?
/ am firm Deliver in home econo-
my and patron of home institutions
and believe can purchase goods in
Oakland just as cheaply as I can at
any other point in this section of the
country.

CHILDREN AND PATRIOTISM

Communists have been carrying on
a campaign to destroy the patriotism
of American school children, realiz-
ing that one of the surest ways of
Speeding their pernicious doctrines is
by the cultivation of immature and
impressionable minds. Such a policy
is carried on in Russia where chill
dren are early taught the principles
of sovietism and provided with misin-
formation about other peoples and
their countries.
Public school authorities in Boston,
aware of the activities of those who
would destroy this country's form of
government, are prepared to combat
= this program by laying great stress
on reverence for the American flag
and all that it signifies. When the
school term began a new exercise,
raising and lowering Of the flag. was
given its part in the daily schedule.
Patriotism does not necessarily
mean narrow nationalism. It does
mean love of country, familiarity with
its history and traditions, and respect
for it's institutions. Patriotic citizens
are needed today. 1t is patriotism
that will not sanction corruption in
government, that will insist that the
courts and all American institutions
be maintained as they were intended
by those who founded them. A pub
lie, truly instilled with patriotism,
would not long suffer the menace of
lawlessness, undermining the struc-
ture of our nation. A patriotic cleo
torate would not neglect or abuse the
franchise, but would use it to place in
office those who are capable of hon.
estly and efficiently administering
the affairs of government.
More attention should be paid in the
public schools to teaching youth the
duties of citizenship, in impressing
upon children the responsibilities
which will be theirs when they attain
