INDICATIONS that the United

sterilization Of CurrCuCieS on a gold
standard were disCeTned this week
when Henry Morgenthau Jr. Sec
rotary Of the Treasury. revealed he
had aided the French franc last
month when 10 was in difficulties.
The franc was threatened with
c0IIaDSe on Memorial Day. when
American government offices and
financial markets were closed. With
panic threatening in Paris. Jean
Tanncry. president Of the Bank of
France. reached Mr.. Morgenthau by
trans Atlantic telephone. The re-
suit was a "gentlemCn'S agreement
between the United States and
France whereby this country would
Sunuort the franc and would &C
Ccpt payment whenever France
could get the gold 10 the United
States. Mr.. MOrgenthau was
criticised several weeks ago on a
different matter. He had offered
500 600 600 issue of per cent gov

THANKSGIVING DAY DINNER FOOD PRICE RANGE IS
HIGHER THIS YEAR; TURKEYS ARE NOT NUMEROUS

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 for the second consecutive
year, according to market reports
coming from the territory in which
they are grown commercially.
Unless one is lavish with the cram
berries, the Thanksgiving dinner will
cost about 10 percent more than a
year ago and about 20 percent more
than two years ago. The percentage in
Garrett county is less than in other
communities.
Turkeys do not seem to be so plenti-
full and no quotations are being CIV
en- by local merchants. Those who
have the turkeys are planning to re-
serve most of their birds for the
Christmas season. Turkeys lowered
around the 30-cent mark last year.

HEARING HELD FOR NOAH
KOLBFLEISCH YESTERDAY
Is Held Without Bond for March
Court on Charge of Murder

Noah Kolbfeisch was held without
bond yesterday following a hearing
before Magistrate Charles F. White
on charge of numbering his Cougar
old aunt, Miss Ella Pysell, at her
home near McHenry, on Wednesday
evening, November 6.
Kolbfeisch will now be necessarily
detained in the county Jail until the
March Term of the Circuit court,
when the Grand Jury will act on the
matter.
Kolbfeisch was held under suspic-
ion for almost week following the
murder, along with four others who
lived in the Pysell home, and when
he attempted to gain his freedom on
writ Of habeas corpus, a warrant
formally charging him with murder
was sworn out by Sheriff Clarence
Spear.
The hearing was postponed from
las Saturday. Neil C. Fraley, States
Attorney, and other county and state
authorities have continued searching
for further clues in connection with
the crime. Fraley, however, stated
at the hearing that he was convinced
that Kolbfeisch was the guilty person.
Kolbfeisch denies the charge. He
had lived with his aunt for five years
and was manager of her farm at the
time. He is thirty years old. Neigh
bors reported that he had "beaten
her up" on several occasions.
At the hearing Kolbfeisch had as his
counsel William R. Offutt.

Hearings Scheduled Before the
State Tax Commission

Hearings are scheduled before the
State Tax Commission in Baltimore on
Friday concerning two Garrett county
appeal cases.
One concerns the placing of the Mt.
Lake Park Association property back
on the tax books of the county. 1t had
been exempt for several years, the
owners claiming it was used for re-
ligious purposes.
The other concerns a tract of land
here known as Mt. Nebo. This proper
ty was purchased several months ago
by McHenry Howard, of Baltimore
for $4,000. The property is assessed
at $4,000. Mr.. Howard is appealing
to the tax commission as the result of
the refusal of the County Commission
ers here to lower the assessment fol-
lowing the sale of the property.
Messrs. Blaine Giessman, John W.
Herman, Virgil T. Steyer, commission
ers; R. c. McComas, supervisor of
assessments; Neil c. Fraley, attorney
othe board, and possibly Walter
ers, will go to Baltimore tomorrow
morning to be present at the hearings.
The Park Association will be repre-
scented before the Tax Commission by
E. R. Jones.

REINSTATEMENT PROGRAM
GETTING UNDER WAY HERE
Maryland Is In Section Which
Began Work MOnday-TO
Make Parks of Poor Land

Driving ahead toward the dual OBJ
jectives of providing new employment
and taking poor farm lands out of
cultivation, the Resettlement Admin
istration announced that 5000 men are
being employed in clearing land and
other preliminary work on projects
already authorized in the Northeast,
which includes Maryland. The work
started Monday.
Labor is being recruited largely
from relief rolls in the eleven states
under the jurisdiction of the regional
offices of the Administration, located
at New Haven, Conn. Offices for this
section are in Grantsville, and Miss
Ethel Miller, executive secretary of
the Garrett County Welfare Board,
said she had heard indirectly that
there were to be about 200 men en-
ployed in this county.
There are 81 projects now approved
for immediate development in the
Northeast as demonstration areas for
reforestation and forest management,
public recreation, wild life and game
preserves and other public uses.
All projects involve the retirement
of unproductive farm lands from cul-
tivation and the resettling of families
now living in the areas to be pur-
chased. These areas were selected
after surveys made in cooperation
with State planning boards, State
foresters, agricultural leaders and eX-
tension services of the various states.
F. w. Besley, State forester, and H.
c.. Buckingham, district forester, spent
the early part of the week in the
county in connection with this work.
The start of work is the first step
toward eventual transformation of
nearly 100000 acres, to be ecquired at
a cost for the land alone of approx
mately three million dollars in six
New England states, including Mary
land. WORKOUT or abandoned farm
lands, on which farm families in many
instances are dwelling in want and
| misery or existing on public aid, will
be reclaimed and converted into re-
gions of scenic beauty, offering en-
larged opportunities for healthy pub
lie recreation and outdoor enjoyments,
according to the regional director.
Persons now living on the lands to
be developed, it was announced, will be
among the first to be given employ
ment. The bulk of the labor will be
taken from WPA rolls. About 70
percent of the labor required will be
| unskilled.
A small technical force, including
| engineers, foresters, landscape archi-
tects and wild life conservationists,
has been employed in each of the
project offices during the last few
months in drawing detailed plans for
the development work.
The initial tasks will include tenn
porary road repairs, cutting of fire
breaks and truck trails through wood
ed sections, boundary marking, tenn
porary dam and bridge building and
construction of administration, park
and recreation quarters.
