he can receive his dividend of go per-
cent.

Miss Ethel Miller Makes Out

cally Proven to Sustain Health

Two parents and five children under
Is years of age can live on $3.50 a
week in Garrett county, according to
Miss Ethel Miller, relief administra-
tor of the Garrett County Welfare
board.
"In normal times but few people
would be interested in this statement"
Miss Miller stated, "but during the
present crisis when by far the greater
percent of the people are living on a
restricted income, it is necessary that
the budget be balanced, especially
where food is concerned"
A food list given out by Miss Mil
Ter, based on current Oakland prices,
is said to be scientifically proven to
be sufficient to sustain ones health.

DRIVER FAILS TO RENDER
ASSISTANCE AFTER WRECK
Extricates Girl, Badly Injured,
From Car and Then Leaves
Her in Nearby Field
BEING HELD FOR HEARING

Grace Whetzell, %, is a patient at
the City Hospital, Kingwood, w. Va,
for severe injuries sustained late
Thursday night in a motor accident
near Weber's crossing, south of town,
while Clarence Lantz, about 40, her
alleged companion and driver of the
automobile, was apprehended at
Morgatown, w. Va, and brought to
the Oakland Jail. Lantz, who is also
known in Morgantown as Carl Lantz,
is being charged with failing to give
assistance after an accident.
Lantz is accused, from the state
ment made by Miss Whetzell, of de-
sorting her after extracting her from
the damaged machine, when it skidded
from the road and collided with a
pole. Miss Whetzell was found about
100 yards from the highway and from
appearances had evidently been
dragged across a cabbage patch.
She was unconscious when found
and an examination by DR.. E. I.
Baumgartner showed a compound
fracture of the thigh, broken Shout
der bone, and deep flesh wounds in
the limbs. An ambulance was called
and she was taken to Kingwood hos
pital.
Garrett county officials learned
that Lantz lived in Morgantown and
he was arrested by Morgantown au-
thorities and turned over to the
sheriff. Lantz was employed recently
in Shahan's garage. He received bad
cuts and decorations as result of
the accident.
A hearing will be held when Miss
Whetzell is able to leave the hospital
and testify in the case.

land groups, of the Civilian Conserva-
ton Corps from their present locat-
tions to others more suitable for win

headquarters.
The Maryland companies which are
located in this county will be moved
to the eastern part of the State, one
of them going to Camp Richie and
the others either to an Eastern Shore
location or to forests near Beltsville.
To Quit Bird Refuge
The Garrett county company now
working in the State bird refuge near
Cambridge, on the Eastern Shore, also
is to be transferred for the winter to
a new location not yet selected.
The remainder of the thirty COM
panies will be brought east from the
Ninth Corps area and assigned to
posts in this corps area.

delayed as the bids for the 100000
feet of lumber, needed in building the
winter quarters, will not be opened
until Friday.
There will be a re-enrollment the
first of October, as the six-months'
period will be up by that time. Those
now in the companies will be given
an opportunity to re-enroll for another
period of six months.

ALLEGHENY TABLELAND
ANNUAL MUSICAL FESTIVAL
At Camp Dawson on Cheat River
Last Saturday Afternoon and
Sunday A COlOrful Affair
LARGE NUMBERS PRESENT

The third annual Music Festival of
the Allegheny Tableland, held at Camp
Dawson, on Cheat River, near King
wood, West Va, on Saturday and
Sunday, fulfilled the high expectations
of those who sponsored it and who
have followed it through the two pre-
yious years when it was presented at
Somerset, Pa.
Camp Dawson, military reserva-
ton maintained by the State of West
Virginia, located along Cheat River
at the foot of Caddell Mountain, less
than twenty miles west of Oakland,
is a level plain more than a mile
square upon which is erected perma-
nent barracks and equipped with all
modern conveniences, which proved a
most fitting place for the great festi-
val, and the beautifully decorated
stage formed a background for one
of the most colorful programs everren-
dered in this section. The loud speak
ers carried the voices of those taking
part and the music presented out to
the river bank and the audience en-
loved the shade and lawn g. they lis
tened to the music and other features
presented.
Saturdays attendance at the festi-
val was curtailed to some extent by
indications of rain, but the crowd
present was estimated at several
thousand. The program conferred
about King Coal, who reigned seated
upon his central throne, while George
Washington, his cabinet and his fam
ily in Colonial raiment occupied one
side of the stage reminiscent of last
years Bi-Centennial program, while
on the opposite side Tony Beaver,
mythical Virginia pioneer, brought
back memories of the first music fes-
tival.
Around these figures remarkable
program of band music, stringed in
strument music and all forms of music
known only to the earlier mountain
GERS, brought delight to the Satur-
day afternoon audience.
Sundays program was sacred one
and the great stage was crowded with
the mass chorus which rendered the
numbers selected for the day.
Conferred around the mass chorus
work was an excellent program OF
chorus numbers, solos and instrument
tai renditions. The band numbers
were especially enjoyed. The Sunday
crowd reached large proportions, be-
ing estimated as high as fifteen
thousand people.
Of more than passing interest to
Oakland and Garrett county people
is the tentative arrangement for the
1884 festival to be held at Mountain
Lake Park, providing the invitation OF
the Institute is again extended.
Miss Huff, as in previous years, ar
ranged and directed the programs OF
Saturday and Sunday, being assisted
by others who have been active in the
work.
Through each of these events the
program of the Allegheny Tablelan9d
Association is rapidly growing and its
Importance and value is being felt
even to the smallest village and ham,
let in the Tableland.

IF N.R.A. Flops We Will Have Dictatorship
or Communism" Says Chief Strikebreaker

the National Recovery Board to the
convention this morning was in the
same key. He said: IF the NTeA fails,
something else with a different name
will succeed it, That something else,
be it dictatorship or not, will have to
start from the same principles"
1t is admitted generally here in the
inner circles that the MIRA cannot last
longer than the end of December in
its present form. Daily its crisis be-
comes more apparent as prices rise
and both strikes and their militancy
increase. 1t is clear that the more
and more open utterances of the con-
vention speakers on this question
from Perkins to Haas are moral pre-
paration for an extension Of the die
tatorial powers of NRA against the
working class.
The convention is being used as
sounding board for this policy.
