IN DAYS OF OLD
FORTY YEARS AGO

The boiler of a saw mill owned by
D. w. Bussard, Bethlehem Settlement,
in Garrett county, exploded, wrecking
a portion of the mill. No one was in
jured.
The Society of Owls had issued in
vitations for a "tacky party" at the
Glades Hotel. The invitations request
ed the guests to attend in costume and
to "come early and stay late"
The Glade Valley letter stated that
the laws about swearing or fighting on
school premises was very strict, the
offenders being dealt with to the full
extent of the law, but, the letter con-
tinued, sit seems that some of our
Democrats from Oakland can curse,
fight and get real drunk without even
so much as notice being taken of it."
Thomas Darnell, charged with the
shooting of Frank McFadden, at Cor
man, and George Marvill, charged
with assault with intent to kill George
Marley, at Deer Park, escaped from
the local Jail. At the time it was in
ferred that the son of former United
States Senator from West Virginia
had passed saws into the Jail with
which the two men severed the bars
and made their escape.

C. M. SINCELL is NAMED
SANITATION SUPERVISOR
Work Will Be In Cooperation
With The Health Department

DR.. E. C. Peck, the county health
officer, was called to Baltimore for a
special conference of the deputy State
health officers at the State department
office last Saturday. This conference
was called in order to place before the
people of the State the unusual oppor-
tunity for making sanitary improve
ments which is offered by the Civil
Works Administration program.
The objective of the government is
to put as many people to work as pos
sible, very promptly, and projects are
favored which can be finished in a
short time. In the case of projects of
public nature, not only labor, but
also materials will be paid for by the
government in many cases. In the
case of projects carried out on private
property materials must be paid for
by the owner of the property in almost
all cases, DR.. Peck stated.
As a result of this conference, Mr..
c. Milton Sincell has been appointed
as county supervisor of community
sanitation projects in Garrett county.
He will work in cooperation with the
health department to promote any i'm
provements in sanitation which can be
made during the next three months.
A 0n,1r1txy
itation of the rural schools is ex-
pected, in addition to work done on
public projects. There is a special
group of seventeen men available for
sanitary projects on private property
in Garrett county. 1t is proposed to
begin at once to improve the condition
of the sanitary outbuildings in all the
homes near Oakland where sewerage
connection is not available and the
present facilities are not of the best
modern type.
A detailed list of the materials nee
essary for building an outbuilding of
the type approved by the United
States Public Health Service has been
prepared and furnished to the dealers
in building material in this vicinity.
In many cases secondhand material
can be used so as to effect a saving.
Any person who will provide the
necessary material for the construc-
ton of modern privy on his prop
erty should notify Mr.. Sincell or the
health department at once. Labor and
supervision for completing the work
will be furnished without cost to the
owner, thus saving him about
$50 and providing work for 4 men for
over day. 1t is strongly urged that
all property owners take advantage of
this opportunity to cooperate with the
Presidents program and so improve
their own property and the general
sanitary condition of the community.

Hardy has but to raise his eye
