MORE WORK FOR .JOBLESS

People as a general rule, especially
the man-power of the county and ma
ton, want to help themselves when
ever possible. All they ask is that
they be given job and allowed to
work for what they get.
The "hunger marchers," who,
though hungry and cold, were able to
raise $1,000 to pay the truck drivers;
who, though hungry and cold, turned
up their noses at food and shelter Of
fered them in the different cities
through which they passed; who
would not allow themselves to be
segregated at night, although there
were women and Negroes among
them, are greatly in the minority, and
are nothing more nor less than Com
munists.
They are the ones who would refuse
a job, even if it were offered to them,
and there are a few such in Garrett
county, but only a small few.
Most of the unemployed want work
and the interest that the employed of
the county are showing is culminat-
ing in a meeting next Wednesday ev-
ening when a discussion will be held
on finding work for the men and wo-
men of the county who want it.
Charles Ream, chairman of the Cen
trail Relief Committee, states: "1t is
a dangerous practice to help people
without giving them an opportunity
to help themselves" and the attempt
to solve this problem will be made
next week.
Relief work made up of donations
of money, food and clothing is a Won
derful thing and worthy of support,
but relief work made up of finding
Jobs for those who want to earn their
way, is far more worthy of support.

The town council will have justified
its existance, if any justification is
necessary, if it can work out the pro-
posed plan of installing fire plugs at
various points in the Park. The ever
threatening danger of fire will be les
sened, which will be reflected in a
probable reduction of insurance rates.
Houses destroyed by fire in the Park
are seldom, if ever, rebuilt. This les
sens the tax revenue to that extent.

visitor in the Park.

By Scoop Himself

Only two deer stories have come to
the ears of Scoop this week-one con-
corning Bill Glotfelty, who hunts and
fishes and at odd moments conducts
the Quality Lunch Room on Second
street, and the other about Charlie A.
Ashby, emperor of Deer Park town.
Bill, the story goes, chose to climb
tree early in the morning in order
to lie in wait at a vantage point for
his prey. The wind was blowing and
at this season of the year all know
it's breath was none too warm. After
swaying among the branches for only
a few minutes he spied doe, and this
whetted his appetite for the sight of
buck, which never came. Meanwhile
the wind kept blowing until late in the
afternoon, when Bill discovered that
if a whole herd of bucks came along
he wouldn't be able to pull the trig-
ger. He managed to fall out of the
tree, however, but it seemed ages be-
fore fire was started, marking the
beginning of the "big thaw."
***
Over near Deer Park, Charlie Ash
by was named as lookout man while
four scouts, Bruce Lohr, Carl Lohr,
Tom Lohr and Abe King, went on a
roundup of deer meat. They fright
ened one to within sixty yards Of the
lookout, who, the scouts claim, stood
calmly by as the deer scampered down
a ravine and thus preserved its free
dom, not to mention is life.
eff it hadn't been for his gray
hairs, I'd have shot him." Charlie ali
bied. Zone must have respect for old
age and gray head, even in these
modern days."
It's getting the tough breaks, ac-
cording to Tom Lohr, when after sit
ting on a stump the large part of the
day and going away disguised, Harry
Sollars comes along, sits on the same
stump and bags a large buck within
half an hour.
Hunters around Oakland report
that some dogs were heard chasing
deer. Besides being an offense against
the law, it is poor craftsmanship,
they say. And they ought to know.
1t is safe to say, however, that the
following picture, snapped by Col.
Bell, will cover the majority of the
cases where there were alibis, the
Ananias Club of Mountain Lake Park
included.

Oh, Consistency
It drives me to tears to say any

Virginia Ann Martin


Sad, indeed, was the death of little
Virginia Ann Martin, youngest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. B. L. Mar
tin, last week. Apparently in normal
health-laughing, playing-suddenly
the Grim Reaper gathered the tender
bud into his arms, and as silently as
the falling of an autumn leaf bore her
to that Beautiful Isle of Nowhere,
whence her spirit came. Virginia Ann
was born June 8, 1928. Died Deem
Der 8, 1881. Her mother, father and
two sisters, Bette and Barbara, sur
vive to mourn their loss.
The funeral services were held from
the home of her grandparents, Mr..
and Mrs. C. P. Martin, in Loeb Lynn,
Saturday afternoon at two o'clock.
Rev. I. S. Middaugh and Rev. S. A.
LESSEE officiated. The pallbearers
were composed of the mothers Sun
day school class and consisted of Ker-
nit LESSEE, Gilbert Moomaw, Delbert
Bittinger and Dick Hardesty. The
flower girls were from Bettie's class.
Garrett Camp No. A, w. o. w.,
held it's annual election of officers
last Tuesday night, which resulted as
follows:
C. c., L. W. Moomaw; adv. lieut.,
1. E./Turney; banker, W. E. Landon,
Jr.; clerk, ]. W. Ream; Waterman, O..
w. Bittinger; escort, Earl Sterling;
sentry, Cecil Sisk; auditor, Clyde
Calhoun; dist. deputy, Darwin Mar
tin.
Plans were also made for an enter
tainment and banquet for members
of the order and their families, to be
held sometime during the coming
holidays, the exact date for which
was not fixed.
While we appreciate the fact that
the town council must look we'll to the
finances of the village and cut the
cloth according, at the same time
there is one especially dark road
which we hope they will investigate.
We mean the road leading from the
bowling alley past Mr.. and Mrs. Cam
den's residence to the lake: Taking
off the light at the junction of the
roads at the corner Of the hotel pro-
perty makes the road dangerous and
hard to negotiate after night. Per-
haps a light in neighborhood not
now used, might be taken off and sub
stituted without additional cost. We
are sure the lighting committee has
the best interest of the Park at heart.
The better the winter conditions can
be made, the more likely it is that
cottagers will stay late in the season.
Joe Calls, Charles P. Martin, R. E.
Bittinger and B. L. Martin, motored
to Westernport where they attended

Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1931-08-14
A Business Proposition

With the motives Of those who are responsible for
the recent order of the treasury department closing inter
national bridges over the Rio Grande between the hours
Of 8 D. m. and s a. m. we have no dispute.
There are many arguments in favor of the part time
closing of these bridges over the Rio Grande with which
The Brownsville Herald is in absolute sympathy.
On the other hand, there are many arguments in
favor OF the continuous free passage over the bridges be-
tween Brownsville and Matamoros, or at least of a later
closing and an earlier opening hour than is provided un-
der the ruling announced on Wednesday of this week.
1t should be born in mind that Matamoros is in Mexico
and that Brownsville is in the United States, and that as
the two largest cities of their respective territories, there
is a considerable amount of intermingling both social and
business which is seriously interfered with by closing all
traffic between the two at 9 o'clock at night until 8
o'clock in the morning.
Since the advent of prohibition, it has become popular
to refer to all who journey across the border into Mexico
as being in search of pleasures prohibited, nominally at
least, by law in the United States.
Again we should bear in mind that a considerable
portion Of the traffic between Brownsville and Matamoros
is occasioned by those engaged in necessary business
ventures.
AS witness to the impracticability of the new closing
rules, take the case of a tourist intending to leave by train
from Matamoros to Monterrey or Mexico City
Train leaves Matamoros at $50 a. m, and the inter-
national bridge opens at 8 a. m.
Those who have had experience with customs in any
country Will admit at once that it is a practical impos-
sbility for that tourist to pass the Mexican customs and
then drive a mile to the station and arrive in time to make
his train.
On the other hand, suppose a citizen of Matamoros
desires to 90 by airplane from Brownsville to Monterrey
or Mexico City. Planes leave Brownsville at 1880 a. m.
over one line and 8 a. m. over another.
In either case it would be necessary for our traveller
to spend the night either in Matamoros or Brownsville IN
order to make his connections.
We are certain that a calm consideration of the
problem presented in the case of Brownsville and Mat
ury ruling to more reasonable hours of closing traffic be-
tween the two cities and the two countries.
