towns which have entertained them
during the past four years. A desig-

patrick, an officer of the Chamber of
! Commerce said: "There is so much
| goodwill existing in the individual
communities that it would be too bad
if some effort were not made to con-
solidate it for the good of all con-
cerned. 1t should be crystalized into a
great intersatet sentiment that will
mean personal and business good for
every community. Pittsburgh has
things to sell to the towns of the dis
trict, and those various towns have
things to sell to Pittsburgh and to
each other-all manner of manufac-
tured products, farm produce, etc. If
we can sell to each other, why not?
And if we cannot, at least we can be
friendly"
Towns included in the invitation
are widely separated. Oakland has en-
tertained Pittsburghers here upon
several occasions.

LAST OF FOUR NEW STEEL
FOREST TOWERS ERECTED
Negro Mountain Tower, Near
Grantsville, Now Completed

The last of four new steel forest
fire towers authorized to be erected in
Garrett county under the Federal
Emergency Conservation program,
has recently been completed on Negro
Mountain, three miles west of Grants
vile.
The four towers have been erected
by CCC members in connection with
their forest improvement activities.
The other three towers were erected
earlier at High Rock, on Savage Noun
tain; near Thayerville on Meadow
Mountain, and on Elder Hill.
The Negro Mountain structure is 80
feet high and stands at the highest
point of the mountain at an elevation
of 1882 feet, which is the highest site
occupied by any forest fire tower in
Maryland.
In order to accommodate visitors,
a broken stone road has been con-
structed and surfaced with sand and
gravel. Picnic tables and shelters are
also to be provided. The tower is only
one-third of a mile south of the Ma
tional Highway.
The tower has been under construc-
ton since early last spring, the work
being performed by members of the
New Germany CCC camp. From the
towerman's lofty perch may be seen
a veritable sea of forested mountain
slopes, broken only by occasional val
ley farming communities or tiny
mountain hamlets. From this tower
can be observed mountains in Penn
sylvania and West Virginia. Other
towers at Elder Hill, Thayerville,
Bittinger and High Rock, in this coun-
ty, and Negro Mountain tower in
Pennsylvania are easily visible.

HOG CHOLERA OUTBREAK
OCCURS IN THIS COUNTY
Discovered on Three Farms In
Vicinity of CCC Camp SIS

Hog cholera, affecting 20 hogs on
three farms in the Bittinger commun-
ity, was discovered last Friday, DR..
o. X. Hoffman, Federal veterinary in
spector, announced. DR.. Hoffman made
an inspection of the three farms after
the sick animals had been reported to
John H. Carter, county agent.
The three farms are in the vicinity
of CCC Camp S-68, where the orig
inal source Of infection was said to
have come. DR.. Hoffman stated that
hogs on range had fed on infected
perks scraps at pits where garbage
was being burned. The disease appar-
emily spread by exposed hogs coming
in contact with other hogs that
had not been on the camp premises.
Five hogs were reported dead and
Is sick. At the present price of pork,
this is considered quite a loss to the
owners of the animals.
Any farmer in or near the vicinity
of this camp is advised by the Federal
inspector to pen up his hogs, thus
making sure they will not be exposed
and in consequence sicken and die
Control of hog cholera is a pre-
ventive measure rather than cure, u
Mr.. Carter said. ut is true that there
are some tonics and other so-called
medicines offered for hogs, but tests
prove that none of them will cure
hog cholera.
"The three sources of hog cholera
are: giving hog cholera virus, which
requires a grant of special permits
sion by the Livestock Sanitary Ser
vice; feeding infected pork scraps
such as bacon rinds, bones, ham trim
mings or water in which infected pork
was washed; exposure of healthy hogs
to others infected with the disease
Mr.. Carter concluded with the state
ment that there was no need to worry
about hog cholera if hog owners would
make sure their hogs were not eX.
posed to either of the three sources.
In the outbreak last week Pat May
hew lost four hogs-all he had; MS
Mary Bittinger lost one and has six
sick. S. o. burst has nine sick.

meant wrecking the bus since the road
was actually covered with the little
animals, all of the gray variety.
Frey accepted this explanation, and,
on checking with hunters, learned that
there is an absence of nuts in Gar
rett county this fall and that the squir-
rels were probably leaving that section
in large numbers. The bus driver said
there were at least 500 in the group
he saw.
Others who take their hunting yarns

with any good fish story, say maybe
