Oakland Fire Department Called
To Crellin This Morning

The Oakland Fire Department was
called to Crellin about GAS o'clock
this morning to extinguish blaze in
the home occupied by William Thomas
and his family.
The building was owned by c. A.
Ashby, of Deer Park, and besides the
Thomas family the house was ten
anted by Bruce Kisner and his fam
lily. The fire started on the second
floor of that part occupied by the fam
lily of Mr.. Thomas and flames were
shooting from the windows when the
Oakland department arrived. The
blaze was soon brought under control.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas with their
children were driven from their home
near the Brant school house, two

HUNTING, FISHING AND
MARRYING RUSH CLERKS
Perusal of Records Shows Fish
ing Lowest of 3 in Number

When it came to getting licenses at
the office of the clerk of the Circuit
court last year the number of fishing
licenses obtained was the lowest of
the three principal pastimes-marry-
ing, hunting, and fishing-a perusal
of the records show.
While 1888 fishing licenses were be-
ing issued, 1860 received marriage
permits, and 1888 tried their luck at
hunting. The figures for hunting IL
censes and marriage licenses are
higher than last year, 120 more hunt
ing licenses being issued in 1880 than
in 1929. Fishing seemed to decrease
in number of permits, but it is
thought this was due to the change in
the law governing Deep Creek Lake.
A total of Abs licenses were issued.
Nine hundred thirty-eight of the
fishing licenses were granted to coun-
ty residents, IS to non-residents; 80
to State residents; and 106 to Deep
Creek Lake, non-residents.
Seventeen hundred of the number of
hunting licenses were issued to coun-
ty residents, II statewide, and 81
non-residents.

Maryland Is Keeping Roads
Omen for Traffic

Wintry SHOWS and sleets this year
are finding the State Roads commits
sion better prepared for their on
slaught than ever before, and roads
are being kept open, according to R.
M. Reindollar, assistant chief engi-
neer.
Outstanding among the new meas
ures adopted is the policy put into
effect during the summer of establish
ing supplies of cinders and sand near
dangerous hills throughout the state,
especially in Western Maryland
This procedure was tried out on a
small scale last winter and was said
to have been found highly effective.
In addition the commission has a
force of 12O plows and IL rotary
sweepers ready to place in operation
at the first sign of each snow.

PROGRESS is BEING MADE
Observation-Disclosures
Headquarters of Organization
May be Established in Oakland

Continued progress is being made
towards building up an effective orga-
nization that will enable the Allie
gheny Tableland Association to open
an Office early this spring at some
point in the tableland region, accord
ing to Bushrod Grimes, secretary. OF
all the towns Oakland is the most
central for the associations head
quarters but other towns also offer
advantages that must have considera-
ton of the committee making the Sc.
lection.
At Pittsburgh, December 1S, officers
of the association, and representatives
of the extension services of three
states met with the President and a
committee of the Pittsburgh Chamber
of Commerce. Several hours were
spent working on the plans for the
joint cooperation of the three orga-
nizations. The next meeting of all
the organizations actively interested
in the regional development of the
Allegheny tableland will be at Cum
berland, Md, Jan. 81, beginning at 10
a. M, in the Fort Cumberland hotel
All the county agents of the eight
counties with the state directors OF
the extension service will be at this
conference in order to agree on q
workable plan for the coming year as
far as the agricultural extension
workers are concerned. Following the
Cumberland meeting the next session
will be again in Pittsburgh after
which there will be a meeting of the
association probably at Uniontown OF
Somerset, Pa.
Owing to bad weather conditions
and the nearness to Christmas the
meeting at Oakland on December 10
did not develop the details of prog
ress made in Pittsburgh because Of
the fact that many who had planned
to attend the Oakland meeting coulC
not do so.

New England Survey
 Shows Improvement
For Third Successive Month N E. Council Index of Busi-
 ness Activity Reports Again

Boston, April 27--For the third successive month the New England councils index of business activity in New England shows an upward trend. the council announced today. Making public the results of March statistics as represented in the in dex. the council reported that the preliminary figure indicates a slight improvement in New Englanl business as compared with Febru- ary;" Zoo ,
 reached low point approximately 23 per cent below estimated normal levels" the council statement says. During the first quarter of 1881 the index has moved up to point 19 per cent below normal levels. While the improvement is not great. nevertheless. it may be an indication that the corner has been turned and that business Is definitely on the upgrade. Of course, 1t is not certain that the decline may not continue in succeeding months but In the face of the long downward move ment which has already been ex- perienced this seems hardly proD- able.
 Indications of business activity in the country as whole do not generally show as definite an up- ward movement as does the coun- cil's index It may. be that New England will recover from the present depression some months earlier than the rest of the country. This has happened before in the major depression of 192O-192l when the recovery of New England business began in the first quarter of 1921. approximately six months in advance of general country wide improvement.
