GARRETT COUNTY RELIEF
WORK BEGINS this WEEK
Road Projects and Repairs To
Provide EmplOyment-First
Money Allotment Received
SOCIAL WORKERS TO AID

Relief work was started today in
Garrett, Allegany and Washington
counties under the plan for the dis
tribution of the first of the Recon-
struction Corporation loans.
The. first allotment of the supple
mental relief funds was turned over
to Governor Richie and will be paid
out in weekly installments to Allie
gany, Anne Arundel, Cecil, Dorches-
ter, Frederick, Garrett, Montgomery
and Washington counties and the city
of Cumberland. The State was grant
ed total of $153,53O, and the weekly
installments will be $19,191.
Welfare workers, loaned the State
by various welfare agencies, are set
ting up machinery for distribution of
the fund in Allegany, Garrett and
Washington counties, where the need
for outside aid in relief has been
reported to be urgent.
A meeting is called by the Welfare
organization for this afternoon when
the work will be outlined by Miss
Anita Faatz, welfare worker, from
Baltimore.
Plan Road Work
Projects which will be started in
the three counties will take in special
road construction and repair and for
estry work, on which the Federal aid
funds may be expended
Walter N. Kirkman, of the State
Advisory Unemployment Relief Com
mittee, said no county is to know how
much is allotted for supplemental aid
within its boards by the Federal
agency.
Under the plan for handling the
money, Governor Richie is to deposit
the weekly checks in a special fund in
the State Treasury in the name of the
Advisory Committee. The committee
will pay out the funds through the
county commissioners of the various
counties and to the officials of Cum
berland.
Welfare agencies in the counties
will be asked to account to the County
Commissioners for expenditures. The
County Commissioners in turn will
certify these to the committee which
will draw vouchers on the State Treas
ury for the various amounts. Kirkman
said the theory of keeping the politi-
cal subdivisions in ignorance of the
total amount allotted to them is adj
vanced by the R. F. c. as means
for more efficient administration of
the aid funds.
Map Forest Work
The Advisory Committee has been
given the work of recruiting Mary
lands county quota of $500 reforesta-
ton volunteers. 1t was announced F.
W. Besley, State Forester, was map
ping out forestry projects on which
10 employ the units assigned to the
State by the Department of Labor.
Kirkman said the State plans to
place the volunteers, following peri
cd of training in army camps, on the
State game preserves and in the State
forest reserves. He pointed out the
county quotas will be acquired thru
various private welfare agencies.

7wo Women Jailed, Charged
With Punchboard Racketing
Police Believe They "Knew The
Board" won $1O.75 In
Six Punches

Two women implicated in an al
legged swindle game are to appear IN
municipal court today.
Their arrest followed an unusual bit
of "luck" on their part Friday. After
getting haircut at the Paul Weis
barber shop, they stepped into the
Robert Regnier pool hall and began
playing punchboard which was left
there Thursday by strange man.
In six punches they won $10.75
from a $24 board. After paying
them, Mr.. Regnier followed them to
the postoffice and asked them to go
with him to the sheriff's office where
he had them arrested.
They are believed to be confed-
crates of the man who left the board
and promised to be back in two or
three weeks to divide their profits.
An effort to discover his name fail
ed as it was poorly written on copy
of the order given Mr.. Regnier.
The women gave their names as
Minnie Stone and Mrs. Joseph Leon
ard of San Francisco, California.
Authorities are checking into their
records. Miss Stone is charged with
swindling and Mrs. Leonard with be-
ing an accomplice.
The charge carries a prison term
of two to five years or fine not to
exceed $4,000.

ELLIOTT MERRICK was grad
Il uated from Yale, just like any
other future go-getter, and he
started out on a business career in
New York much as any other young
man might.
But after ne had been at it for a
few years. he decided that the bust
ness world was fiat, stale and I'M
inspiring, so he dropped everything
and went to Labrador as teacher
for the Grenfell Mission.
In Labrador he married Kay, a
Grenfell nurse; and the two of them
accompanied a trapper far back into
the interior, in the dead of winter,
and discovered that by flying from
civilization, they had found their
own souls.
Merrick tells about it all in "True
North" a book which comes to a
depression weary society like a
breath of clean air from the north
ern barrens.
1t is a book in the tradition OF
Thoreau's "Walden"-and, really, to
mention it in the same breath with
that book. isn't stretching things as
much as you might imagine.
For Merrick sings the same song
that Thoreau sang; that men have
got up a blind alley by getting over
civilized, and that the true reali-
ties can be found only in solitude
close to earth'S breast.
He and his wife braved cold,
hunger, utter desolation, and I'M
imaginable WEAKNESS - and found
life good. They camped in the
snow when the temperature was 30
below zero, they lived for days on
weak tea and soggy bread, they ex-
posed themselves to the worst the
north could offer: and from it they
drew a new sense of the richness
and beauty of human life.

TIVE wind whipped Janet's coat

face. 1t was more like sleet than
rain.
She had to hold the umbrella
tightly to keep it erect. A dark
wet, thoroughly disagreeable eve
ming. Still Janet stood there, hest
tating. Which way should she go?
The sensible answer, of course,
would be down Center street to the
car line two blocks away. A stormy
night, such as this, was one to
spend at home.
She could buy some food a. the
corner delicateSsen. heat it en- the
gas stove and have dinner in her
room. Afterward there was the
book she had brought home from
the library and barely glanced at.
Or she could go down and Join
the bridge game sure to be in prog
reSs in Mrs. Snyder's living room.
Yes, that was what she should
do-and no sooner had Janet made
this decision than she knew she
would do nothing of the kind.
Center street, leading to the car
line, was lighted brightly and ahead
three or four pedestrians - office
workers, no doubt, delayed and now
hurrying to catch the next car
could be seen.

Once she was not at home when
he called and the second time she
was leaving to attend a lecture with
Pauline Hayden. 1t was a lecture
by famous explorer. Someone had
given Pauline the tickets and Janet
was glad to be invited.
Instead of cooking dinner at
home, she had dropped into the
habit Of eating down town with
Pauline or one Of the other girls.
She liked Pauline better than the
others because she never asked
questions All Of the girls at the
office had known Of Janet's engage
ment. They knew, too, that Rolf
wasn't coming to the Every Home
Office any longer, that he didn't
wait for Janet now or meet her at
the drug store corner.
Such gossip flies quickly in an
office the size Of the Every Home
establishment. Janet overheard
Clara Dennison telling two other
stenographers that it was all over
town that Rolf was going to marry
a swell society girl"
She knew the girls whispered
other things about herself and Rolf.

Determinedly Janet tried to con-
ceal her unhappiness. She tried to
forget by working harder. by going
for long walks, by taking books
from the circulating library.
She enrolled at the Y. w. C. A.
for class in beginning French.
Still she could not forget Rolf.
She couldn't even hate him.
She left the Office one evening in
late March, stepping out into
drizzling rain. 1t was cold, too.
Janet raised hire umbrella, drew
her coat closely about her neck.
At the street corner she hest
tated. She wasn't thinking about
the rain or the cold wind. She was
thinking that she was utterly mis-
cradle.
Il can't go on this wayl" Janet
told herself desperately. Il can't!
Something's got to happen!"
And, sure enough, only a little
later that evening, something did.
