sinister feeling came upon US
/ Every now and then we could hear
a mournful screech that came from
one of the old belfry. Ahead of us
was a dark pass that lead into the
inner part of the castle For the
last time we looked back to the
gates, and then dashed into semi
darkness.
Woo-woo-woo hooi That mourn
ful noise again and again, rang out
through the great halls.
Chapter II
Then came the storm. Weird
sounds echoed through the walls
Stumbling along, faces white, half
frightened to death, we soon MOTTO
ed that it was getting darker and a
musty odor was soon waited to us.
This proved that we were descend
ing downward. Soon we family
saw far ahead of us a huge stone
doro. Advancing towards it we
heard other weird noises even more
weird than before
Opening the huge door on its
rusty hinges we beheld on the in
side an astonishing sight All
along the walls were found crypts
and in these were skeletons, human
skeletons. Just then, to add to our
horrors, went up a horifying
scream. 1t sounded human. The
bats started to fit around as
though frightened. Rushing on
toward the scream we dashed
through corridor after corridor
and finally before us rose a huge
curtain wavering slightly. 1t was
beautiful. I could not describe it.
Finally another scream rang out.
1t was right in back of the cur
tain. Rushing in with our revolv-
erS drawn we found ourselves in a
large room.
There, bound on a table, was a
man. Three men were around him.
One held a hot iron and the agony
on the victims face, showed he had
been tortured The men seeing us,
turned on their heels and fed.
When the victim was released he
explained that he was a rich bank
er's son. The bandits had captur-
ed and had demanded a ransom.
Along the walls we noticed small
holes used for speaking tubes At
last the mystery of the haunted
Castle on the Rhine was solved.

SUN OIL co. CELEBRATES
Eighth Anniversary of New Motor
Fuel and Motor Fuel Policy

The eighth anniversary of the in
PRODUCTION of both a new motor
fuel and motor fuel policy is being
celebrated this month by the Sun
Oil Company, manufacturers of
Blue Sunoco. Il have often won
dered," says Mr.. Robert Weir, Jr.,
the Company's district manager,
Just what would have happened in
the motoring world if Blue Sunoco
had not been introduced. You see,
prior to the introduction of Blue
Sunoco, it was customary to
charge three cents extra for knock
less gasoline and when the Sun Oil
Company announced that Blue
Sunoco would be a truly knockless
motor fuel, and yet sell at regular
gas price, the announcement met
with great skepticism. Motorists
just couldn't believe that a gen
timely knockless motor fuel could
be made to sell at regular gas
price. But, in addition to this, the
Sun Oil Company also introduced
a new manufacturing policy. This
policy called for the manufacturing
and merchandising of only one
grade of Blue Sunoco, not two or
three grades as commonly seen.
consequently, while it cost more to
make Blue Sunoco, still such great
savings We're effected in the refifin-
cries and warehouses, and in the
number of pumps and delivery
trucks that the Company was able
to avoid any increase in the price
of Blue Sunoco."

ers continued to hold the county tax

RESTORATION OF THE OLD
BRADDOCK TRAIL is URGED
Recommended By Government
Agents Following Inspection

Restoration of the Old Braddock
Trail in the mountains from Wills
Creek at Cumberland, through Gar
rett county to the Youghiogheny
River east of Uniontown, Pa, has
been recommended by Government
agents who have gone over part of
the route.
In Uniontown as Federal investiga-
tors to determine the feasibility of
the project, Harold F. Lee and Harry
Thompson, of the State and National
park services, respectively, were much
impressed.
The plan calls for a trail 100 feet
wide to be used only as bride path
and for pedestrians. No motor traffic
would be permitted. While the project
calls for reconstruction Of the en-
tire trail traversed by General Wash
ington and his forces, the first section
to be improved would be the part of
the trail leading from Fort Necessity
to Braddock's Park to Jumonville, and
thence to the Youghiogheny River
Beyond the river the remainder of the
trail has been transformed into rich
farm lands in Westmoreland and Ale
gheny counties in Pennsylvania.
During their visitto Fort Necessity
officials found a 15-ft. blue print, care
fully compiled by John Lacock, histor-
ian, and showing all details of the old
trail.
Restoration of the old trail will cal
for an appropriation of hundreds OF
thousands of dollars. 1t may become
a major CCC project.
The trail from Wills Creek through
Frostburg and thence through Garrett
county is clearly marked and the route
is known to many people who have
hiked over it from time to time in
recent years. Several years ago the
road was marked with arrows.
