off at their regular stopping places
until the bus comes to a full stop.
Do not back bus on school grounds
unless it is absolutely necessary and
you are positive no child is behind
the bus.
Never pass another school bus while
it is loading or unloading children on
the public road without first bringing
the bus to a full stop for at least a
minute and not less than fifty feet
behind the other bus.
Report to the principal any mis-
conduct of any passenger or the VIOLA
tion of any rules.
A special caution states that the
buses should not be run while contain
ing school children when the roads
are dangerously slippery or in any
way endangers the safety of the pas
sengers.

DEEP CREEK PAGEANT TO
OPEN SUMMER ACTIVITIES
Tentative Plans Call for Celebra-
ton in Early Part of June
Other Meetings Being Arranged
EXTENSION DAYSPLANNED

That no part of the Mountain Lake
Park Institute and the Allegheny Ia
bleland Association program was be-
ing received with greater enthusi-
asm than the pageants, was expressed
by Rev. I. S. Middaugh, director of
the Institute, who has been attending
a number of meetings throughout the
county in company with Miss Sara
B. Huff, music leader.
The preseason water pageant on
Deep Creek Lake, planned for early
in June is proving of greater interest
to Oakland and Garrett county at the
present time, he stated.
Deep Creek Lake will in time prove
to be one of the greatest centers of
recreation in the Tableland if the
plans worked out by Miss Huff are re-
allied. These plans will afford an
opportunity to set forth the natural
beauty of the lake and it's surround
ings.
Following the Deep Creek pageant
will be the Fort Necessity celebra-
ton sponsored by the Tableland. Ten
tative plans assign the Somerset fes-
tival and pageant for the weekend of
September and the twenty thousand
people who attended the meeting last
fall are expected to return, bringing
their friends with them. Later in the
fall it is hoped to bring the season to
a climax with a Harvest Home fes-
tival.
Future Farmer Program
After conference with DR.. ]. D.
Blackwell, director of vocational ag-
riculture in Maryland, and o. T. Ora
ser, of the Oakland High school, plans
are developing for Sunday afternoon
service sponsored by the Future Far
mers of America. On that day Mary
land future farmers would be hosts
to the future farmers of Pennsylvania
and West Virginia.
Extension Days
Two rural gatherings are promised
for Sunday afternoon, July 10, and
the week following. On Sunday, July
10, Garrett county, under the direction
of John H. Carter, county agent, and
Miss Margaret X. Burtis, home dem
onstration agent, will be host to the
farm folks of the counties of West
Virginia and Pennsylvania. DR.. T.
B. Symons, director of the Extension
Service of Maryland, will be the
speaker and Miss Huff will direct the
music.
A week or two later West Virginia
will be the host and DR.. Nat T. Frame
will be the main speaker. He is di-
rector Of the Extension Service in
West Virginia.
A community meeting was held on
Sunday afternoon in Somerset High
school, Somerset, Pa. Approximately
300 people were present in spite of
the inclement weather and sang under
the leadership of Miss Huff. Miss
Elsie Dupstadt, chairman, was in
charge. Rev. 1. S. Middaugh, direc-
tor of the Park Institute, was also
present and outlined the program for
the summer.
On Monday evening an audience
of approximately two hundred filled
the Odd Fellows Hall at Loeb Lynn
for the weekly sing. Any community
organization, grange, church or other
society desiring a meeting is asked to
communicate with County Agent Car
ter and he will arrange for Miss Huff
and Mr.. Middaugh to visit the COM
nunity.

GROVER STEMPLE CHOSEN
MAYOR FOR SECOND TERM
Walter Hardesty, r. Carlton Nc
COmas and Ralph T. Thayer
Are Elected COuncilmen
HARDEsTY LEADS TICKET

Grover C. Stemple was re-
elected Mayor of Oakland for the
ensuing two years at the munic-
ipal election held on Monday at
the polls in the town hall, having
been nominated for the Office at
the meeting of citizens on last
Thursday evening without oppo-
sition.

Council, the latter two succeeding
themselves as members of that body.
Walter Hardesty led the ticket with
351 votes. Frank A. Smouse and J.
Frank Browning were the two unsuc-
cessful candidates.
Miss Frances Hamill, who was UNI
opposed, was reelected Treasurer. A
total of 489 votes were cast, which is
"a more than was cast last year, but
! "a less than was cast at the election
two years ago when Mayor Stemple
was chosen the first time.
On account of weather conditions
which prevailed Monday, the day be-
ing as stormy and as cold as at any
time within the past five or six years,
the vote was considered heavy, with
much interest shown by the towns
people.

office but one year.

The world continues to seek q So

drug control. Used properly, narcotic
drugs represent one Of the greatest
benefits ever developed for the hap

they are associated with crime Of the
most terrible varieties, and with ex-

Because OF the fact that those who
are addicted will pay tremendous
prices in order to secure the forbid
den drugs, criminals do not hesitate
to 60 to extreme lengths to steal ana
transport the illegal preparations.
Chemists, without q proper sense
OF responsibility, work to develop
combinations Of habit forming drugs

around laws that otherwise would
prevent sale and. transportation.

At present various nations are CIV
ing special concern to the problem Of
controlling traffic in these drugs.
It is generally recognized that the
only hope lies in getting at the drugs
at their source. Each ounce Of the
original opium must be accounted for,
whether made into morphine or he
roin or any Of the supposedly harm
less drugs.
The only way in which the drugs
can be controlled Is to make the man
ufacturer responsible for q careful
record of every step In the process
from the time the raw material en-
tiers his factory until 1t gets into the
hands Of the consumer.

The Deadly Machine Gun

The tremendous advantage that the
invention Of the raptd-fire gun gave
to the defensive side In warfare was
never much better illustrated than in
the recent fighting around Shanghai.
One man with a machine gun can
be the equal Of a whole battalion, un-
der certain circumstances. A bonn
hardnent that reduces the numbers
Of defensive force to tenth of their
original strength is utterly useless II
it leaves few machine guns that can
come into action as soon as the at
lacking wave gets under way.
It was this unsupported fact that
made the World war battles 50 fright
fully costly. The japanese. evidently,
are discovering it all over again. I'm
til some way Of coping with the ma
chine gun is found, the offensive is
