RELIEF COMMITTEES CALL
FOR DONATIONS AND HELP
16O Families or 800 Citizens Be-
ing Cared for at Present

The Relief Committee is making an
urgent appeal to every citizen of Gar
rett county for aid. At the present
time $50 families are being cared for.
This represents approximately 800
individuals.
The committee deeply appreciates
the aid already given, but urges that
every citizen stop and realize that the
winter is only half over and these
people must be fed until some kind
of work can be provided. Most of the
men whose families are represented
here will work if it is available. Many
of them are working at odd jobs pro-
vided by the local committees. In re-
turn for this work they are given food
and clothing. In order that this food
and clothing may be given, the local
committee must have donations. Even
though you only have a peck OF pota-
toes, give it to your local commit
tee. In order for this relief work to
continue, all must give regularly for
the next two or three months.
Garrett county is fifteenth in popu-
lation, first in area and last in densi-
ty of population, hence it is extremely
difficult to investigate each family,
but your local committee has given
freely of their time for this purpose.
Each and every family over the
county which has been aided has been
Investigated by your local committee
man and relief has been given only if
in his opinion they are worthy. In
some instances it has been necessary
to limit the relief to only the children
of the family. This has been done by
providing clothing and feeding them
at school.
Through funds available from an
outside source, your Central Commit
tee is now giving hot lunches to 300
school children. This fund, unfortu-
nately, is limited to the children.
Through this same fund "a pre-school
children, nursing mothers, expectant
mothers and tuberculosis cases are re-
ceiving milk each day. These cases
are also investigated to determine
whether or not they are worthy of aid.
Any contributions should be given
to your local committeeman, listed
below:

cident; John A. Shore, Kitzmiller;

Wolfe, who is AZ years old,
and a barber by trade, suffered
fractured right leg and arm,
severe injuries about his head and
face and multiple decorations and
bruises on all parts of his body. He
was given first aid by DR.. M. C. Hine-
baugh and was then taken to Allegany
Hospital, Cumberland, by Lawrence
Dixon where he is now under the care
of DR.. W. A. Oracle and where he
is resting as comfortably as condi-
lions will permit is the message from
that institution this morning. Mr..
Dixon and the injured fireman were
accompanied to Cumberland by w. R.
Browning and James F. Hart.
A second fire truck continued to the
scene of the blaze, the home of YER
non Conner, about mile and half
east of Loeb Lynn and near the Cor
man road. The house was completely
destroyed, the only things saved from
the blaze being few pieces of furni-
ture which were on the lower floor
of the structure. The fire started in
the attic of the house and had the
apparatus been at the scene a few
minutes sooner spectators said the
building could have been saved, but
on account of the wrecking of the
front truck and the consequent block
ing of the road, the delay could not
be avoided.
States Attorney Walter W. DE-
son, driver of the truck, said he pulleI
to the side of the road to avoid car
which had turned around in the road
at the East End Service station after
the fire apparatus had come into
sight, and being confused as to what
the driver of the car might do, Mr..
Dawson attempted to give him large
portion of the road. After pulling to
the side of the road, Mr.. Dawson
stated he was unable to keep the ma
chine in the road when the back of the
truck started to weave.
At the first turn east of the SER
vice station the fire truck climbed the
bank of soft earth and then headed
across the road, turning on its side
and throwing the occupants in all
directions. Unfortunately Wolfe was
riding the running-board and when
the apparatus toppled it caught his
leg beneath it.
A check-up this morning made by
Fire Chief George Kerins showed that
both tenders of the truck and the
suction hose rack were smashed, 9TH
erwise the machine was apparently
not damaged. It was estimated that
repairs could be made for not more
than 5000.
Those on the truck when it turned
over were A. T. Shaw, Ralph Thayer,
Lawrence M. Fraley, Wilbur Davis,
James Lewis, William Gauer, Robert
Wolfe, Grover Stemple, Howard p
Stuck, James F. Hart, Ernest Town
shend, Jr., and Walter w. Dawson.
Immediately following the unfortu-
nate accident large crowd collected
and righted the truck, extracting
Wolfe who was pinned to the roadway.
After being given first aid treatment
he was taken to Cumberland.
Stuck, Thayer and Davis were also
given first aid. Mr.. Stuck received
cuts on both knees; Wilbur Davis was
cut on the hands and face and Mr..
Thayer had badly wrenched shoulder
in addition to cuts and bruises. All
were taken to their homes in Oakland.

the Republicans, Tumulty called
this "the cheap, shoddy stuff
