WORST NOVEMBER STORM
IN YEARS STRIKES HERE
Snowfall Reaches Depth of Five
Inches; Many Places Drifted

What turned out to be one of the
worst November snow storms in years
struck Oakland and Garrett county
Monday night, right on the heels of
the first snow of the year which had
barely disappeared from the ground.
Continuing all day Tuesday and
Tuesday night, the snowfall reached a
depth of about five inches, with drifts
several feet high piling up where the
hurricane-like wind touched.
Temperature remained around the
freezing point until early Wednesday,
when the thermometer dropped to 10
degrees above zero at the Government
station at Weber's.
The sudden change in temperature
yesterday brought the realization that
winter is at hand.
A similar storm twenty years ago
blocked traffic and made it difficult to
get around. Tuesday and Wednesday,
although the wind formed large drifts,
the State Roads Commission reported
that they didn't amount to anything"
and that all roads were open.

BOY is THROWN II FEET
INTO TREE IN CAR WRECK
Cars Collide on National Pike
Iniure Friendsville Family

Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar Uphold and
their three children, Carlos, Donald
and Vernon, of Friendsville, were in
jured Tuesday when thrown from
their automobile on the National
Highway, just east of Flat Rock
Park, Pa, and Willard Clouston, %,
Cheat Bridge, W. Va, who was held
responsible for the accident, was sem
fenced to ten days in Jail in Union
town, for reckless driving and for
operating without a permit.
Clouston, it is alleged, attempted to
pass the Uphold machine and cut back
to the right too sharp, causing Uphold
to leave the road. The car overturned
throwing all occupants free.
Donald landed in a tree about IL
feet from the ground, while the other
occupants escaped serious injury. The
child was recovered from the tree by
State Officer C. E. Stillwagon, who
investigated, and others attracted to
the scene. He was apparently I'M

Hunting Season Opens; Many
Licenses Have Been Issued

Hunting season opened yesterday
in Garrett county, and despite the
then prevailing stormy weather,
many took advantage of the oppor-
tunty to look for rabbit, pheasant,
wild turkeys and other legitimate
game in this and other communities.
An article last week from the State
Game Warden failed to state that
squirrel could be hunted in Garrett
county only in October, but special
regulation applicable to Garrett coun-
ty closes the season on that game
October 81.
Deer season will not be until De-
cember l, and then only for five days,
one of which will be Sunday, Deem
Der 3, when it will be unlawful to
hunt.
At the office of the Clerk Of the
Circuit Court, A. c. Ross has issued
more than 1900 hunting permits with
the likelihood of the number reaching
1000 or more before the season is at
an end.

LEGION POST WITH SMALL
MEMBERSHIP GETS SKUNK
Mountain Pussy to be Sent Out
Each Week to Inactive Post

"Have you a little skunkie in your
Post?" State Legionaires will be
asking each other before the State
wide membership drive is over, and if
their post has just such an animal
they won't get very high rating
with the department commander. Or
at least that is the present plan of
Howard Cutler, chairman of the State
membership drive.
A real live skunk has been obtained
somewhere, maybe from this county.
1t has been named "Can't Make It."
1t goes each Friday to the district
having the smallest percentage of Lee
gion members, and the district COM
mander in turn presents it to the post
in the district having had the least
advance in membership during the
previous week. The low post must
take care Of the animal for one week.
Proctor Kildow Post, No. II, of Oak
land, is in the Western Maryland dis
trict and according to J. M. Gender,
post commander, there isn't much
likelihood of it coming to this town, as
the local organization already has so
per cent of last years membership
signed up for 1884.
A "Where's Elmer" campaign is
also to be conducted along with the
drive. Elmer" explained Comman-
der Gender, "is the Legionaire or ex-
service man who hasn't paid his dues"
A regular meeting of the post is to
be held Monday evening in the City
Hall. In the meantime the drive for
membership goes on to keep the skunk
from the door. AS if there weren't
already enough of them in this county.

YOUNG HOLD-UP MAN ROBS
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Richard Griffith, Federal Wealth
er Observer. Robbed of SIS
Early Sunday Morning
OFFICERS STILL SEARCH

Officers are still searching for a
young bandit who stuck a gun
against Richard Griffith, proprietor of
Savage Mountain Inn, in this county,
on the National Highway, four miles
west of Frostburg, early Sunday
morning, and made good his escape
with SIS.
Griffith is a Federal observer and at
the time of the stick-up, was in the
act of performing his official duties.
Griffith was about to make his wealth
er call to Washington when the bandit
ordered him to "throw up" his hands.
officers Summoned
The man, thought to be about 25
years old, then cut the telephone lines,
removed the money from a cash reg
lister, and ran. The robbery took place
in the service station into which the
bandit had apparently forced an en-
trance.
Griffith used an emergency tele-
phone to call Sheriff Hugh A. Hotch-
kiss, of Allegany county, who began
search with Allegany county investi-
gator Terrence j. Boyle, Curtis Kline,
detective, and R. c. Cassen, Frost
burg city policeman.
The bandit, Griffith said, wore a
light cap and dark clothing. The
nature of his offense may take Fed
eral twist, as Griffith was in the act
of performing his official duties at the
time of the hold-up.

Is Kicked by Deer

Being kicked by COW, horse or
mule may be a common occurrence,
but to be kicked by deer is a dis
tinction which Clarence Leighton only
can boast.
While going to his mothers farm
just west of town on Monday a small
doe ran out into the road in front of
his truck. 1t darted for the side of the
road and became entangled in wire
fence.
In attempting to extricate the
animal from the wires, Leighton
grabbed a hind leg, but quickly let go
when it gave lightning like kick that
landed on his body. The dot finally
freed and went on it's way unframed.
So did Leighton.

RELIEF WORKERS MUST
INVESTIGATED THOROUGHLY
Certain Routine Required by
Government Before Aid is Given

All Federal relief now being dis
tributed in the county is based on the
need of the individual applicant Miss
Ethel Miller, relief director, stated
this morning. Among the millions re-
quiring the aid of the Nation in the
present emergency, it would be
strange indeed were there not many
less worthy than the large mass of
unemployed. Therefore our govern
ment, through it's Federal Relief Ad-
ministration, has promulgated certain
hard and fast rules and regulations
by which the county units in the
several states must function. These
County Welfare Boards are but truo-
tees of the large amount of money
now be- " expend=l in direct and
work relief and must, therefore, COM
ply strictly with both the letter and
the spirit Of these rules and regu-
lations.
If the biggest problem in the pres
ent emergency is economic need, then
the first task of any agency admins
tering unemployment relief funds is
to determine the eligibility of each
individual applicant for this assist
ance. The applicant unable to get
work to support himself and his
family, is asking for this support
from the community. Under the ex-
listing circumstances, is he entitled to
receive this help and, if so, how
much?
The Federal Emergency Relief Ad-
ministration has definitely defined the
needs that can be met from these
funds and the maximum within the
applicants family which can be sup
plemented. In order to determine
these needs the following investiga-
ton is required:
A prompt visit to the home, in
inquiry as to the amount of real
estate owned, bank accounts and other
financial resources; an interview with
at least one recent employer and other
information of similar import.
In addition, information as to the
number in family, ages, places of
residence, last three steady jobs of
the wage Garner, names and relation
ship of other people living in the
household is required.
All information obtained in these
Investigations and interviews is held
in strict confidence, but this expla-
nation was thought to be necessary
on account of the many who wonder
why all the questions must me asked
and all such information given before
a person can be placed on relief.
The County Welfare Board has been
advised tnst the half-ton carload OF
pork for distribution to relief families
will arrive in Oakland Thursday night
This pork will be distributed by truck
to various grocery stores throughout
the county Monday. All families on
relief will receive with their check
this week an order for pork. This
order will. be filled by the grocery
store nearest their home.
