Band Broadcast Travels Far

A postcard received Tuesday morn
ing by Mayor Grover Stemple from
Moorhead, Minnesota, praises the Gill
bert-Brown Boys Band for it's broad
cast from KDKA, Pittsburgh, on Sat
urday evening. The message to the
local mayor follows:
"Allow me to compliment you for
your splendid broadcast at 500 p. M,
est, of August 3. Best 1 ever heard.
Respectfully, Arthur Crowell."
A postscript states the broadcast
was heard in the Red River valley.
The broadcast was not heard so well
in Oakland as electrical storms in the
area and other weather conditions
brought about a maximum of static in
reference, and as a result the re-
ception was extremely noisy. Broad
casting station officials remarked that
the presentation of the program was
exceptionally we'll rendered.
The band played half-hour's pro-
gram of march music and Mayor Stem
pie gave a short talk on the Allegheny
Tableland music festival to be held
at Mountain Lake Park this Saturday
evening and Sunday.
The trip to Pittsburgh by members
of the band was made in private cars.

Four Injured In Head-On Coils
ion Sunday Evening

Four people received cuts and severe
bruises when two cars had head-on
collision on Route 81, near Deep Greek
Bridge, Sunday evening about dark.
Travelling in one car were Harold
Bittinger, of Oakland, and Miss The
resa Mattingly, of McHenry, while
Cecil Edgar and Paul Glotfelty occu-
pied the other automobile.
The accident occurred at the rise of
the road opposite the White and Phil
lips cottages. None were dangerously
injured, but the cars were badly dam
aged.
Mrs. Frederick A. Thayer, Jr., with
her father-in-law, Mr.. F. A. Thayer,
of Oakland, escaped injury Sunday af-
ternoon when the family automobile
driven by Mrs. Thayer swerved off the
road at a point on the highway a
mile north of town. The cause of the
accident was given as faulty brakes
on one of the rear wheels which caused
the machine to swerve to the side of
the highway when the brakes were
hastily applied to avoid a possible col
lision with truck which was parked
on the side of the highway.

TRUCK LICENSE WAR is
CALLED OFF BY STATES
Maryland West Virginia Roads
Bodies Reach Agreement

Roads commissioners of Maryland
and West Virginia have ended the
truck license war which had been rag
ing since July /.
The West Virginia commission an
nounced last Friday that new reel
procal agreements had been reached
with Maryland and Virginia.
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles w.
R. Rudy Baltimore, following a tele-
phone conference with West Virginia
officials, countermanded orders that
Maryland state policemen hold West
Virginia trucks not showing Maryland
licenses.
West Virginia authorities acted on
instructions of Governor H. G. Kump
that in 1888 the legislature empowered
the roads commission to make recipro-
cal agreements with other states and
that the law has never been repealed.
A new law which required out-of-
state for hire trucks to have West Vir-
ginia permits, began to be enforced
on July 1. Maryland then began to
compel West Virginia trucks to have
licenses and wholesale arrests of
drivers began. The arrests caused
protests from various automobile as
sociations and individuals throughout
both states.
Governor Kump, in announcing re-
newal of reciprocal agreements, stated
that the roads commissions should
keep in mind those who had already
paid license fees as a result of the
license war, and that some provision
should be made for the refunding of
such fees in order that there might be
no injustices to truck owners.

Dog Bites Vindex People But
Examination Shows No Rabies

The correct way to handle case Of
dog-bite was pointed out today by DR..
E. C. Peck, health officer.
Recently several people were Bit
ten by dog at Vindex. The victims
were treated by the coal company's
physician, DR.. Ralph Calandrella. Roy
Sewers, constable, kept the dog in con-
fnement for ten days, then killed it
by shooting it through the body. The
head was packed in ice and taken to
the State laboratory at Cumberland
by Mrs. Peck where an examination
showed no evidence of rabies.
DR.. Peck stated that in every case
where a dog bites someone this pro-
cedure of combining the animal to allow
evidences of disease to develop is the
proper one to follow, as killing the
dog before time is allowed for the dis
ease to develop fully may leave the
question in doubt.

COUNTY ROAD MEN WILL BE
PLACED IN CIVIL SERVICE
Roads Body Preparing a Whole
sale Shifting of Inspectors

The county road maintenance men
of the State Roads Commission will be
placed under civil service as soon as
possible, DR.. Homer E. Tabler, chair
man of the Commission, has an
nOunced.
All the appointments which have
been made by the commission are only
temporary, DR.. Tabler said, and each
appointee must take a civil service
examination and qualify for his job
before his status will be made per-
manene. Future appointees will also
be subject to examination. These rules
are to apply to all workers above the
status of laborers.
DR.. Tabler announced the commits
sion was preparing a wholesale shift
ing of road inspectors, stating the
change was necessary because some of
the inspectors had been so long in one
locality that their efficiency was i'm
paired.
Among the appointees to be subject
to the merit system will be twenty
three resident engineers and twenty
three assistants, one for each county.
The resident engineer will direct work
on both the county and State roads.
The shifting of personnel and the
appointment of the new engineers
is being made as roads officials pre-
pare for the start of the two-year
program of road construction with
Federal funds.
