THANKSGIVING DAY DINNER FOOD PRICE RANGE is
HIGHER This YEAR, ESPECIALLY CRANBERRIES

In eating your Thanksgiving dinner,
be thankful for a few items that
haven't gone up in price, such as
celery and sweet potatoes. But don't
include cranberries. They're almost
out of sight, according to market re-
ports coming from the territory in
which they are grown commercially.
Unless one is lavish with the cram
berries, the Thanksgiving dinner won't
cost over 10 per cent more than a
year ago. And this percentage is
less around in Garrett county than in
other communities. Estimates from
Chicago state that it will go as high
as II per cent above last year.
Turkeys are plentiful in this Sec
ton, although dealers said the farm
ers are planning to reserve most of
their birds for the Christmas season.
Turkeys last year retailed around 25
cents per pound, and this year the
housewife can expect to pay 80 cents.

MINISTER ANDWIFE KILLED
BY TRAIN NEAR NEWBURG
Drove in Front of Train No. IL
After Freight Had Passed By

Fatally injured when their automo-
bile was struck by Baltimore and Ohio
train No. II near Newburg, thirty
miles west of Oakland, last Friday af-
ternoon, the Rev. R. H. Clark, recently
appointed pastor of the Newburg M.
E. church, and his bride of four
months, died of their injuries shortly
afterward in the Grafton (W. Va.)
hospital, to which town they were
taken on the train which struck them
on the road crossing.
Thrown from the machine by the
terrific impact, both Rev. and Mrs.
Clark received fractured skulls, legs
and arms, as we'll as internal injuries.
Taken To Grafton Hospital
Immediately following the accident,
members of the train crew placed the
unconscious victims on the train and
sped toward Grafton, stopping at
Newburg for a physician, who rem
dered first aid.
Witnesses to the accident said the
Methodist minister and his wife had
attended the funeral Of one of their
parishioners in the country and were
returning home when they stopped at
the railroad crossing at point be-
tween Tunnelton and Newburg, their
progress being held up by the passing
of an east-bound freight train.
Drives In Path of Train
Immediately after the crossing had
been cleared by the freight train the
minister started across the tracks, be-
ing unaware of the approach of the
fast-speeding passenger train which
at that point maintains a speed of
upward of fifty miles an hour. Be-
fore the machine had cleared the west
bound track the impact came with the
fatal results.
Rev. Clark is a newcomer to this
district of the Methodist Conference.
According to Rev. w. S. Patterson, of
Oakland, who is secretary of the West
Virginia Conference, Rev. Clark had
been stationed at Newburg only since
October of the present year. He came
to his new charge from Chylon, w.
Va, in the Charleston district. At one
time, it was stated, he was district
superintendent of the Virginia Con-
ference, which conference was later
discontinued
Rev. Clark is survived by grown
son, Frazier Clark, by former mar
riage, who resides in Bluefield, w. Va.

Distribution of Potatoes Asked

The Garrett County Welfare Board
has been asked by the State Surplus
Foods Distributor to distribute pota-
toes in addition to the beef, butter,
cabbage, carrots, etc, that have been
sent into the county in the last few
months. Because of the many bush
els of potatoes in the county now bur-
led waiting for higher prices the
Board has asked that potatoes for dis
tribution to relief clients be bought
from Garrett county farmers. No
answer to this request has yet been re-
ceived but an answer is expected
within a few days.
Seven sewing classes for relief eli
ents under the supervision of Miss

it is sometimes difficult to find room
for all those who wish to attend.

LARGE STILL IS CAPTURED;
THREE MEN APPREHENDED
County Farmer, Two Pennsylva.
mia Men, Held as Operators
The Equipment COnfiscated
PLANT CLEVERLY HIDDEN

Swooping down upon a Gar
rett county illicit still near the
town of Friendsville, after lying
in wait for some time for the OPP
orator, Federal Investigators on
last Thursday afternoon appre-
hended three men and seized one
of the best equipped and largest
alcohol and moonshine plants ever re-
ported in Garrett county.
The officers arrested Geza Orban,
owner of the farm upon which the
still was located and former violator
of the Federal law; George Olento, of
Leckrone, Pa, and Joseph E. Walker,
of Pittsburgh, Pa, all of whom were
lodged in the Allegany County Jail at
Cumberland.
At preliminary hearing before U.
S. Commissioner Taylor Morrison the
three were jailed in default of $1,000
bond each, pending hearing Novem-
Der "a. All are charged with operating
an unlicensed still and possessing in
toxicants on which no tax had been
paid.
officers reported they seized 400
gallon alcohol still and 50-gallon
moonshine still, which were hidden
and operated in caves in the mountain
side. The stills were located near each
other, the officers said, but the alcohol
plant was found in ravine.
So cleverly arranged were the plants
the officers reported, that they were
forced to lie undercover until they saw
one of the trio go from plant to plant.
Officers reported the moonshine plants
were dug deep into the ground and
were as large as the average size
room of home. They were concealed
by tree branches and mountain
foliage and were perfectly camou-
tagged, the raiders said.
Well Equipped Plants
In the alcohol plants, officers de-
clared, the floor was of concrete with
the walls and roof constructed of
boards. In a section of the room they
found 1900 pounds of corn sugar, PIG
pounds of yeast, one and half tons
of coke in addition to so pounds of
carbonate of Ammonia, all of which,
they said, were used in the manufac-
+,,re of alcohol
The officers also seized $500 gallons
of mash, 50 gallons of alcohol and 10
gallons of moonshine whiskey, in adj
dition to an extra large supply of oak
chips, kegs and other paraphernalia
used in distillation. They also reported
seizure of an automobile.
The arrests were made after the
officers saw Orban going from the
alcohol plant to the moonshine plant.
After he had disappeared into the cave
thhey swooped down upon both places.
Orban, officers declared, is pre-
vious violator of the liquor laws, hav-
ing served a three-month term after
being convicted in the Federal court
twelve years ago, and also in 1926,
Orban served a two-months term in
the Garrett county Jail.
