The estate is surrounded by high

MAKE RADIO
TEST FOR FIRE CONTROL
To Be Placed In Fire Towers And
Autos In Near Future

Experiments with portable radios
in automobiles conducted in Garrett
and Allegany counties by officials Of
the Maryland Department of Forestry,
has revealed the value of the system
in preventing the spread of forest fires,
according to H. C. Buckingham, dis
trict forester.
Assistant State Forester Walter
Quick, Jr., and Stewart O'Connner,
radio expert, came here to supervise
the tests. Quick said radio system
will be installed within the next few
months with all lookout towers in the
two counties equipped with sets, while
portable senders and receivers will be
placed in automobiles.
The sets used by the foresters will be
of the ultra high frequency type and
will operate on regular batteries. The
range of the set varies according to
the topography, but the maximum
distance registered in the county was
IS miles.
In addition to a sending and receiv-
ing set installed in an automobile, a
similar apparatus will be used in the
towers for intercommunication. Dur
ing the tests the High Rock and the
Thayerville towers in this county were
used.
Foresters will use the radio system
to supplement the telephone lines in

ing in the same direction and slipped
off the cement highway. In attempt
ing to bring the car back on the road
he apparently lost control, causing the
car to careen from the road and crash
into the tree. The car was evidently
going at high rate of speed.
Hinebaugh was hurled through the
windshield Of safety glass, while
Shaffer was caught beneath the steer

wound and severe decorations about
the face and head, while Shaffer had
his leg broken in two places and was
cut and bruised about the body. 1t
was at first feared he was injured in
ternally, by the steering wheel, as it
was broken by the impact. Both We're
rendered unconscious and were suffer
ing from shock.

DEEP CREEK LAKE is NOW
YIELDING SOME FINE TROUT
Report From Warden There Is
Pleasing to Sportsmen

An interesting report comes from
Warden Elmer Haulenbeek, who is Of
ficer in charge of the enforcement Of
the fish and game laws at Deep Greek
Lake, Garrett county.

ing of the season. The largest seen was
a 22-inch rainbow trout, weighing Az
pounds, and the largest brook trout
was 1872 inches. A great many IA and
17-inch rainbows have been taken.
Quoting from Warden Haulenbeek's
report: Zone of the prettiest sights
l have seen was at the breast of the
dam deep Creek Lake, the other day
when a 17-inch rainbow trout gave a
fisherman a twenty-minute battle. This
fish broke water three times. There
were about twenty fishermen there and
l assure you there was no fishing done
during that fight. Yesterday afternoon
MAY 13) up at Red Run l saw trout
jump that must have been two feet
long. l saw a parade of perch, about
three or four inches long, swimming
along in a continuous stream, and,
without exaggeration, there must have
been a million of them. At the slight
est move thew would dart off. but in a
few minutes the parade would start in
again. Have also seen schools of pike,
probably twenty-five in a bunch, all
at least two feet long"
