SCHICK TEST COMPLETED
IN SCHOOLS OF OAKLAND
TOXOid Will Be Given Next Week
to Those Needing it

During the last week the County
Health Department has offered the
Schick test to all the children in the
public schools of Oakland. One hun
bred ninety-three tests have been
completed in the elementary schools,
and 265 in the high school. A few
tests remain to be read in the high
school late this morning. Of those
done in the grammar school almost
three-fourths of the children showed
positive tests, indicating that these
children could take the disease if ex-
posed to it. In the high school, there
were SO positive tests and 1913 mega
tive tests. The increased proportion
of negative tests in the high school
shows that the immunization cam
paign carried on by the doctors and
the Civiv club in 1928 combined with
many other minor factors producing
immunity, has made the children of
the high school much safer than the
younger ones.
The tests were done by DR.. E. C.
Peck, assisted by Mrs. Yolanda Cole,
public health nurse, and also by Mrs.
Peck and Mrs. Milton Sincell.
Every child whose test was finished
was given back his request slip which
was marked "Needs Toxoid," or
immune" and the children were told
to take them home to their parents.
1t is hoped that every child who needs
toxoid will be given it at the offices of
the local doctors, as the health de-
partment has arranged to assist them
on certain days next week, so that
all children can receive the immuni-
cation, even if they cannot afford to
pay. The schedule for next week is
as follows:
DR.. H. w. McComas' office on Mon
day morning.
DR.. E. 1. Baumgartner's office on
Tuesday morning.
DR.. N. I. Broadwater's office on
Wednesday morning.
DR.. M. C. Hinebaugh's office on
Thursday morning.

SCHOOL BUILDING REPAIR
MAY BE HAD THRU C. w. A.
Federal Funds Available for
Work on School Projects

Letters have been mailed to public
school teachers of Garrett county in
viting applications for projects of re-
pair work to school buildings, which
would be done under the Federal
Civil Works Administration, accord
ing to F. E. Rathbun, county super
intendent.
The projects may include school
building repair jobs such as painting,
electrical wiring, roof repairs, repair
of school furniture, construction and
repair of school Fairgrounds and the
equipment, modernization of sanitary
facilities, but only those projects
which can be completed in two or three
months will be undertaken.
The projects requested by the prin-
cipals and trustees of the schools,
when approved by the Board Of Edu-
cation and by the county. State and
Federal Civil Works Administrations,
would be completed with payment in
full for all materials, labor and super
vision coming from Federal funds and
not from any funds in the hands of
the county or State school funds, it
was pointed out by Mr.. Rathbun.
The applications for these projects
must be sent to Mr.. Rathbun so that
they reach him before noon on Thurs
day, December Z.
September Salary Paid
In the letter to the teachers, the
salary checks in payment of the I'M
paid portion for the last half of Sep

Council Will Meet Soon To Plan
For Municipal Building

A meeting for the purpose of de-
Gliding on specifications and plans fol
a municipal building, will be held by
the Mayor and Town Council within
a few days.
1t is thought this building might be
erected through the Public Works adj
ministration of the Federal govern
ment without any local outlay of
money at this time. The erection of
such a building at this time would
furnish labor for a large number of
Garrett county's unemployed.
The plan and approximate cost of
any project must be turned into the
government along with the applica-
ton, and it is for this reason that
council expects to meet, so that some
thing definite may be outlined.

mersed in the hot water to his knees.
Mr.. Bishoff returned to his home
shortly after the accident befell him
where he has been confined to his bed

GARRETT COUNTY FARMER
WINS SUIT FOR INSURANCE
Is First of Three Cases Removed
To Allegany County Court

Deliberating more than an hour, a
jury in the Circuit court of Allegany
county last evening returned a verdict
for the plaintiff in the suit of Reinhold
Menke, of Garrett county, against the
National Union Fire Insurance Com
pany. The verdict was for the full
amount asked approximately, $1,000,
plus interest.
Courtney Tasker testified for the de-
PENDANT company that he assisted the
plaintiff in setting fire to the Menke
home. Tasker said he and Menke
carried dishes, clothing and a radio
from the house, prior to the fire, and
also took the telephone from the wall.
Tasker asserted he remained and
watched the house burn to the ground.
Chief Judge D. Lindley Sloan and
Associate Judge A. A. Doub, presid-
ing, denied defense motion for an
instructed verdict, ruling that the
case be given to the jury.
Menke's dwelling and farm build
ings were destroyed by fire January
2, 1882. Menke on the stand said he
was alone downstairs in his home, his
family being away, and was awakened
by his dogs and found his roof afire
around the chimney. About twenty

MORE MEN WILL BE GIVEN
WORK UNDER CIVIL WORKS
Exact Number Not Known; Rate
of Pay Will Be As Cents Per
Hour for 3O-HOur Week
TO START NEW PROJECTS

That a few more men than are now
at work on Civil Works projects would
be added in Garrett county, and that
all men would receive 45 cents per
hour for their work, was learned Mon
day by Miss Ethel Miller, county exc
cutive secretary for the Civil Works
Administration, when she met all the
executive secretaries of the state and
those in direct charge of the work.
Garrett county was allotted 500
men by the Administration last week
and it was thought that the wages
paid would be 80 cents per hour. The
exact number that would be added to
the 500 men already at work was not
learned, but Miss Miller said it would
be "some". New projects which may
be started include sewing for the
needy, repair and construction of
sewerage systems, employing helpers
in libraries, etc.
According to the new schedule each
man would receive $3.50 for his
thirty hours of work, this amount to
be paid by treasury checks.
The first treasury checks will be
given out on Saturday for the C. W.
A. jobs, which will be for two days.
The work week ends for them on
Thursday. Four hundred people are
still on direct relief, it was stated.
Beginning next week, butter,
cracked wheat and beef will be dis
tributed to the needy of the county,
and it was said that workers under
the Civil Works Administration would
also come in for their share.

KITZMILLER SPRINGS BIG
SURPRISE in SOCCER TILT
Local Champions Defeat Bruce
High of WesternpOrt, Last
Years State Champs, 2 to l

For the first time in thirteen years
Garrett county emerged victorious
over Allegany county in the state Soc
Ger tournament when Kitzmiller High
school, coached by Thomas V. Bau-
com, eliminated Bruce High school,
Westernport, defending State cham
pions, from the running by defeating
the latter Friday at Westernport by
the score of 2 to /.
Five hundred persons assembled at
the Westernprort field to witness the
closest game in the history of the in
ter-county series. In previous years
the scores ranged from 1 to 33 to 1
with Allegany county always on the
long end.
For the last twelve years teams
from Garrett county, representing
Oakland, Grantsville and Kitzmiller,
were unsuccessful in their attempts to
stop Allegany county elevens from
Barton, Beall and Bruce high schools.
In fact Kitzmiller had gone down to
defeat seven times in the past ~
years at the hands of teams from AL
legany county. But Friday it was a
different story as one of the lightest
teams in the history of the inter
county series provided stunning up
set by defeating Brue high school on
its home field.
MOsser's Goal Decides
Bruce high broke into the scoring
column 20 minutes after the game had
started when Captain Joe Harvey
booted a penalty goal to give his
team a 1 to edge at half time.
Twelve minutes of the second half had
expired when Charley Mosser, center
forward of Kitzmiller contributed
what proved to be the winning goal
when he booted the ball through the
uprights from a scri1nrhage in front
of the goal. Coach Grindle's crew put
up a hard fight during the latter part
of the game but was unable to get the
ball past Goalie Charley Mcintyre,
whose defensive play at the uprights
whenever Bruce threatened stamped
him as the outstanding star of the
game. With five minutes left to play
Bruce was given an opportunity to
tie the score on a penalty shot, but
Joe Harvey kicked wide of the posts.
Clever Password
Kitzmiller presented one of the
lightest teams in the history of the
inter-county contests. Coach Bau-
CONS squad averaged 100 pounds. The
Garrett countians were speedy and
their play was featured by short snap
by passes that seemed to battle the
Bruce players time and again.
Charles Mcintyre, goal tender, Cap
tain Joe Strah, Bill Volakis and Char
ley Mosser played the leading roles
for the winning aggregation. Goalie
johnson and Fullback Holt played
DeSC 1or Cne Druce HlSH sCHool ele'oh
which won the county and State cham
pionship last year.
By virtue of the triumph Kitzmiller
advanced to the second round of the
state tournament where it will play
the winner of the Brunswick Hancock
game, scheduled early in December.

EASTERN SHORE PEOPLE
ATTACK STATE TROOPERS
More than Thousand in Mob that
Tried to Free PrisOners-Tear
Gas Is Used
FOUR ARE BEING HELD

A mob of more than a thousand
men stormed the state armory at Sal
isbury yesterday in an unsuccessful
effort to free four of the men accused
of participating in last months lynch
ing at Princess Anne.
Beaten back by gas and bayonets
the mob disbursed only after the state
troopers sent by Governor Albert C.
Richie to arrest the alleged slayers
of George Armwood, a negro, aban-
doned their headquarters in the ar
mory and returned to Baltimore with
their prisoners.
Cries of "lynch Richie" and "lynch
Lane" could be heard as the crowd
hurled stones at the soldiers surround
ing the armory. William Preston
Lane, Jr., is the state attorney gener-
al and it was during his investigation
of the lynching of Armwood that the
names of nine alleged participants
were obtained.
His requests that the states attor-
ney of Somerset county, John B. Rob-
ms, order the nine men arrested were
refused by the states attorney, who
contended grand jury investigation
was the proper procedure.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. IL GN.S),
The nucleus of what today is the

was first introduced in Congress
in 1928 by a bill to stabilize the
coal industry, framed by the
United Mine Workers of America
and fathered by Senator Watson,
of Indiana, according to Philip
Murray, international vice presi'
dent of the United Mine workers.
Through three sessions of Con-
gress the bill failed of passage be-
cause of a widespread cry that it
was unconstitutional" and "com-
munistic." In the third session
the bill, rewritten, was known as
the Davis-Kelly bill. Murray said
today:
