Forty-two scouts of Oakland Troop

list along with the annual report of
the troops activities. The year 1884
marks the beginning of the tenth con-

Twenty-eight first and second
class scouts passed PAT merit badges
before the court of honor, 80 members
of the troop advanced at least one
rank, one achieved the rank of Eagle
scout, and other achievements have
been recorded during 1888.
Each year re-registration is ne
cessary, so that only active scouts
may be kept on the list, and for 1884
there were six associate scouts,
twenty-four first class scouts, eight
second class scouts and four tender
foot scouts listed as remaining active
in the troop.
Fourteen scouts were dropped on
account of inactivity and lack of in
terest, and one was given transfer
to Baltimore troop.
Kenneth Lawton achieved the rank
of Eagle scout during 1888, while
others lacked only the requirement of
service or of building fire without
matches to reach their goal.
Robert Broadwater passed the high
est number of merit badges with 10,
while those receiving more than 10
were Robert Browning, 10; Hopwood
Wooddell, IL; Wilbur Altstetter, Is;

AVIATION EXPERTS STUDY
SITES FOR LANDING FIELDS
Will Recommend Construction Of
Airport Here in Near Future
AS An Aid To Safety
HAS A TWO-FOLD PURPOSE

Four possible sites for a municipal
airport here were studied Tuesday by
two National Guard aviation officers,
who have been appointed aeronauti-
cal advisors for the Civil Works Ad-
ministration, in connection with the
governments plan to establish ma
tion-wide system of modern fields.
The purpose of the national i'm
provement program is two-fold:
1. The work of building new air.
ports and improving present fields will
provide employment for thousands of
men.
2. A large number of modern air.
ports will reduce plane mishaps and
make flying safer. Pilots will be
able to land at field in case of emer-
gency and will not be forced to de-
scend on dangerous terrain.
The sites under consideration here
were inspected Tuesday by Lieut.. Col.
W. D. Upton, manager of the Curtis
Wright in Baltimore, and Major C. A.
Mason. They were accompanied to
Oakland by Capt J. Philip Roman, and
William Johnson, pilots, of Cumber-
land, and ground survey was made
of four possible sites, the Weber
flying field, Gortner's, Orendorf's, and
the one at Red House. Officials indi-
Gated that Webers field would be
recommended and tentative plan was
drawn up, showing an L-shaped field,
with two runways of 300 feet each
on each arm of the L, each arm of the
l. to be from $500 to 5000 feet long.
Grover C. Stemple, mayor, accom-
panied them on their inspection trip.
He had been notified of their coming
and already had the possible sites Sc
lected for their consideration.
This entire space would be graded
and given a rock bottom, which would
furnish employment for a number of
men.
After the airport site is selected
definitely and arrangements made for
the lease of the property, a govern
ment engineer will be sent here to
survey the tract and prepare plans
before work is started on the project.
The tract must be leased by the city
of Oakland for five years, for a nomi-
nal rental, with option to buy. The
government will deal only with NUM-
cipalities, and not with private indi-
viduals, it was stated. All material
possible will be obtained locally, and
80 percent of the total expense must
be paid in wages to laborers. The
only local expense is the rental of the
field.
Lieut.. Col. Upton and Major Mas
son flew to Cumberland on Tuesday
and planned to fly to Oakland but
were unable to do so on account of
the weather conditions. They will re-
turn here later by plane for an aerial
inspection of the surrounding terrain.
Officials stated that this section is
rather dangerous flying country and
that an airport was much needed
here for safety.
Twenty ports in Maryland and Della
ware are already underway and it is
the hope of the Bureau of Aeronautics
to place at least one airport in each
county seat. In areas where the ter
rain is particularly rugged, more than
one will be established in each county.
The fields, besides taking care of
all local needs, will ultimately be
part of the Federal Anyways system.

Wheat Allotment
Program Is Near
Final Completion
TIL COOperatOrs And "a Non
COOperators In Local Reduc-
ton Plan

The Wheat Allotment Program in
Montgomery County has almost been
finished with (771) cooperators and
(94) non-cooperators. This consti-
tutes approximately $4,000 acres to
be grown under Government Contract
and 1858 acres on the part of those
who have no signed up. This consti-
tutes 943o of the acreage having been
contracted with the Government. Of
the 6e6 who failed to sign, vast ma
jority have not been growing wheat
for the past several years, or have
recently purchased farms on which
they intended to grow wheat but on
which no allotment was available.
Less than 20 of the acreage will be
grown by those who could have got
ten fair allotments, but for selfish
reasons would not join hands with
their neighbors to control production.
Work yet to be done consists large
ly of hearings which will be held after
the names and figures are published.
Immediately after this work has been
completed, final contracts will be pre-
scented, showing the Governmental
allotment to each producer. These al
lotments will likewise be published
when for a second time neighbors will
have chance to see exactly what is
allowed to farmers in their commune
ties and time to make complaints,
should any need correction.
At an organization meeting of Di-
rectors the following were elected:
j. w. Jones, President; w. w. Hodges
vice pres; o. w. Anderson, Sec'y.;
John E. Muncaster, Treas.
The Allotment Committee consists
of the following: j. w. Jones, Thomas
C. Darby, j. Fur White.
Other members of the Board of Di-
rectors are: C. E. King, Thomas C.
Darby, John E. Muncaster, Sr., E. S.
Walker, Chester F. Clagett, w. w.

F. Barnard Welsh, Mayor Douglas
I'M. Blandfcrd and others pointed out
that this is an opportune time to take
advantage of the Federal governments
offer to make loans for necessary
projects to municipalities. The move
ment will be in line with the admin
istration's request that industry start
rolling.
The town council estimates that
$4,000 will take care of about two
miles of streets. The council will
improve those thoroughfares which,
in the officials judgment, are most
necessary to commerce in Montgom-
cry county. Mayor Blandford said,
however, that the council would be
likely to act upon any organized petit
tion seeking the improvement of GER
tain streets.
Robert Peter, Jr., in introducing
the resolution approving the project,
pointed out that Rockville needs
these contemplated improvements
and urged that citizens back the
movement.
It was brought to the attention of
the meeting that the State Roads
Commission will be asked to take
over Munroe Street. Edgar Reed
declared that the state should bear
this burden as most of the adjoining
property is owned by the county.
The high school grounds are adjacent
to the thoroughfare.
