RELIEF COMMITTEE SEEKS
HELP THROUGH GOVERNOR
Committee Appointed to Draft
Letter Requesting State Aid

Feeling that some sections of the
county were badly in need of relief
and that the County Commissioners
had no money available for that pur-
pose, it was decided at a meeting of
the chairmen of the local relief COM
mittees and the Central committee
with the Commissioners last evening
that letter be written to Governor
Richie requesting some financial aid,
either from the State or from the
Federal Relief Loan.
George D. Browning, president of
the Commissioners Board; George w.
Harvey and James A. Fitzwater, as
sociale members of the board, and F.
E. Rathbun, DR.. H. w. McComas and
Rev. Charles Kupfer were appointed
as committee to draft the letter and
to embody in it the above facts.
The meeting last night was called
by Charles w. Ream, chairman of last
years Central relief committee, at
the request of Walter N. Kirkman,
the Governors representative, who
appeared before the Commissioners
and body of citizens last month.
Members present last night decided
to continue the district relief organi-
cations, but not to reorganize the
Central relief committee which dis
banded early this summer. Any CEN
tralized relief in the future will have
to come from the Board of County
Commissioners, it was agreed.

No Accidents Reported in COun.
ty Over Labor Day

While a record Labor Day turnout
of the nations workers was marred
by accidental deaths that approached
the two hundred mark, Garrett coun-
ty was not affected, according to Cor
poral Thomas Currie, of the State po-
lice. No accidents of any kind had
been reported on Garrett county high
ways.

tant automobile crashes, bathing

that contributed to turn joyous out
ings into excursions Of tragedy for
many toilers.
Airplane crashes claimed six lives

a score injured in train wreck at
Waukesha, Wis.
Motor accidents took the greatest
number of lives, with drownings sec

September Comes In With "COOl
Wave" Here

September started in with much
cooler weather after the extreme hot
days in August.
The temperature took a decided
drop Monday night and the cool
breeze all day Tuesday foretold what
might be coming. Tuesday night it
dropped to 80 degrees at the govern
ment station at Weber's, while the
cloudy condition prevented any seri-
Gus damage to crops and flowers.
This morning, however, the ground
and roof tops were white with frost
and the government thermometer reg
istered 80 degrees. Thirty-six degrees
was recorded at Deer Park on We'd
nesday morning, while 81 degrees
was registered at Thomas, W. Va, at
6 o'clock Wednesday morning.
Trainmen said that it was cold
enough for a fur-lined jacket or over
coat on the mountain grades after
midnight.

ANNUAL RED CROSS ROLL
CALL TO BE NOV. 11-24
Armistice Day To Thanksgiving
Is Set Aside For Drive

The annual roll call, or member
ship campaign of the American Red
Cross is announced by national head
quarters for November II to "a, Ar
mistice Day to Thanksgiving. This
is the season which for twelve years
has been set aside as most appropri-
ate for rededicating support to the
organization which is best known in
time of war as "The Great Mother"
and in time of peace as 'The National
Relief Agency"
More than 5000 chapters will use
volunteer workers in canvassing the
communities in their jurisdictions.
The Garrett County chapter will have
volunteer workers to solicit subscrip-
tions, the same as in other years, with
local chairmen in the various COM
munities directing.
Membership dues support both reg
ular and emergency activities OF the
Red Cross. Regular services thus
financed include health activities, as
sistance to veterans, disaster work,
relief to the families of the unem-
ployed, first aid, life saving, public
health nursing, home hygiene instruc-
ton and the Junior Red Cross. Fifty
cents of each fee goes for national,
insular and international work, the
remainder being kept in the local COM
munities for local services.
The Red Cross is urging increased
membership to enable the organiza-
ton to meet present and prospective
needs. In making its appeal, it calls
attention to the unprecedented de-
mand on Red Cross facilities occa-
stoned by a succession of drought, tor
nadoes, floods and unemployment.

1868 STUDENTS ENROLLED
In SCHOOLS OF OAKLAND
High School Opens With 429
Present - Grade School Has
365 and ParOchial School, IA
MORE PUPILS EXPECTED

With an enrolment of 1858 pupils,
the three Oakland schools opened for
the nine-months' term of instruction
on Tuesday, September 6. The en-
rollment in the three schools shows
an increase of AZ over last year for
the same period, and SO over the fig
ures two years ago.
Oakland high school opened with
429 students enrolled, an increase of
% over last years opening day, with
the possibility of several more coming
in before the week ends. The enroll
ment last year mounted during the
first few weeks of the school year, ac-
cording to Principal Bittle, and this is
likely to occur again. There are no
post-graduates enrolled as yet.
Oakland grammar school opened
with an enrolment of 365, an increase
of 81 over last years first days at
tendance.
St. Peters parochial school has IA
pupils in the various grades-41 boys
and 33 girls, which is an increase Of
A over last year.
One hundred forty of those enrolled
in the high school are freshmen; 104
are sophomores; 103 juniors, and 81
are seniors. The senior class is by far
the largest fourth year class in the
history of the school, as is the fresh
man class.
The Oakland grammar school en-
rollment is divided into grades as fol-
lows: First grade, 81; second grade,
So; third grade, So; fourth grade, 81;
fifth grade, as; sixth grade, A; sew
enth grade, 81.
The continued increase in enroll
ment in the local schools is attributed
to transportation of pupils who would
otherwise not be able to attend. While
conditions in the grammar school
seem crowded, the high school would
be able to take care of the enrolment
adequately, according to Mr.. Bittle.

COUNTY is REPRESENTED

Between $4,000 and 10000 persons
gathered at Somerset, Pa, Saturday
and Sunday to witness and partici-
pate in the annual fall festival of the
Allegheny Tableland Association,
which was featured by deliberately
produced pageants, impressive choral

The program features of the festi-
val were presented at Rhoades Field

ginia and Virginia. The attendance
Saturday was estimated at 10000 per-

ing and a feature of the procession
was the appearance of the drum and
bugIe corps directed by Eli Sheetz,
Washington, D. c., candy manufac-
turer who formerly resided in Somer-
set and is regular attendant at the
Tableland festivals. The junior drum
and bugle corps of Oakland, composed
of the young boys of that town, also
attracted much attention. Their work
was highly commended and their ap-
pearance in the parade brought much
applause. The One Hundred and Tenth
Infantry band, conducted by Capt.
Don M. Kimmell, also participated in
the parade and presented concerts at
the airport both afternoons.
Tony Beaver, the legendary char
acter of the tableland country, again
presided over the programs at the air.

OVER 5000 PRESENT AT
ANNUAL X. OF P. PICNIC
Thirteenth Annual Affair Is Of
ficiaIly Opened With Parade

With fair weather prevailing, an es-
timated crowd of between 5000 and
5000 people attended the thirteenth
annual Labor Day picnic held under
the auspices of the local lodge OF
Knights of Pythias in Helbig's Grove,
on the north edge of town, Monday
and Monday night. The large crowd
fingered until after the fireworks dis
play at 1890 o'clock.
The days program was officially OPP
ened at 1890 o'clock a. M, when a
parade with the marshalls, A. R. Mar
tin and Guy o. Yutzy, with lodge
officers at the head, passed through
the streets of town, followed by the
Crellin band, the junior drum and bu-
gle corps, the Oakland Fire Depart
ment, the Girl Scouts, members of the
Red Cross nursing unit, the Oakland
Band, Legion drum and bugle corps,
members of the local lodge Knights OF
Pythias, automobiles from several OF
the local garages and a display OF
how the farmers used to thresh grain
the fail method.
C. Thomas Summers, Frederick,

officers of the grand lodge. Viewers
Park Attractions and other amuse-
ments and entertainment held the pic
nickers, while the two bands enter
tanned with concerts throughout the
day and evening. A square dancing
pavilion was erected and dancing con-
tinued from early afternoon until late

made quilt to Carl Frazee and the
hooked rug to Paul OFT. Members OF
the Oakland Boy Scout troop parked
cars during the day.
Although no figures as to the finan-
cial success of the picnic are availa-
BILE, it is thought that the receipts
will be practically as much as in the
past several years and will show a
profit over the expenses.

COUNCIL GIVES CONTRACT
FOR RAZING OF BUILDING
Remains of WaingOld Garage to
be Razed-Other Business

Lights along the main streets of
town will remain at 400 watts, accord
ing to a decision of the Mayor and
Town council, at their regular monthly
meeting Tuesday night in the Council
chamber. Reducing the wattage of
street lights has been under discus
sion in the council for several months,
and as test the light at the corner
of Second and Alder streets was re-
duced to 200 for comparison.
Street lights in the residential Sec
ton, which were reduced to 100 watts
each some time ago, will remain at
that strength, the council decided.
Contracts Awarded
Noah Tasker was given the contract
for cleaning up the old Waingold
property on Liberty street, purchased
several months ago by the town. All
debris caused by the fire will be re-
moved, the old stable in rear of the
building will be torn down, and every
thing will be cleared away.
This property has frontage of 11C
feet deep. 1t is planned to erect q
community building there some fu-
ture date, which at present seems to
be quite ways distant, according to
Mayor Stemple.
w. C. Hardesty was awarded the
contract for relaying the sidewalk
from Alder street to the City Hall or
the west side of Third street, he be-
ing the lowest bidder. Since Third
street was improved last year the
sidewalk has been too low.
The council decided to put "Stop'
sign on Crook street, entering SeconC
street.
1t was decided to repaint the street
crossing lines, for the use of the
school children, and everybody is re.
quested to cross the streets only al
those points.
The passing of the monthly bills
occupied the remainder of the session
The next regular meeting will be
held on Monday, October 3.
