RESPONSIBILITY SHIFTS

The special election is over and the
voters of Garrett county have ordered
by their ballots that the sale of beer
be legalized.
This definitely changes the status
of the official and the citizen regard
ing whatever harm society may re-
ceive from the use of intoxicating
drinks. So long as we had the prohi-
bition law, a serious responsibility
rested upon the officials whose oaths
of office required them to enforce the
law.
Under the new order of things, the
courts and enforcement officials are
relieved of the FORMER responsibility.
Under the new law people may buy
beer just as they buy vegetables and
the responsibility for proper conduct
which formerly rested upon the Off
Gals now rests entirely upon the
shoulders of individuals.
The person who drinks too much
will find himself in the same plight
as the man who eats too much of the
wrong kind of food. If he wishes to
escape the disastrous results of
drunkenness, he must depend upon his
own character and sense of decency
to save him.

8 was almost entirely killed by heavy
frost.
Daniel Wilson, Deer Park, finding
that strange bird was paying visits
to his fish pond, decided to kill it,
which he did. 1t proved to be blue
heron, six feet one inch from tip to
tip, and over five feet from the end of
bill to tip of toes. The beak was
seven inches long.
The 4-year-old son of John Helbig,
Jr., narrowly escaped drowning near

street, Cumberland, when he fell into
the waters.
Townshend and Son were showing
a neat and pretty line of summer
dress goods, according to their ad-
vertisement.
TWENTY YEARS AGO

The Mayor and Council Addresses the
Residents of Oakland On a Very
Important Matter-That OF A
Bond Issue To Provide Additional
Water Supply and For Protection
In Case of Fire.
To the Editor of The Republican,
On Monday, June 3rd, the citizens
of Oakland will be called upon to vote
on the question of a bond iIue for
use in building a proposed new reser-
voir
Perhaps a word from the Mayor and
Town Council on this subject would
not be amiss at this time.
When the present reservoir was
constructed, it was supposed to be Of
greater capacity than it really is. The
real capacity when built was $4,000
gallons, but after several years use,
due to faulty construction, so many
leaks developed that it was found nee
essary to refine it with brick, which
reduced the capacity to $4,000 gal
Ions. During the past several years
more leaks have gradually developed,
which means extra expense to the
town in keeping an adequate water
supply on hand.
For some time past the United
States GoveT1ment has been assisting
local communities in the construction
of such projects, such as allowing a
percentage on labor, materials or in
finances. 1t is the idea of the city Of
ficials that inasmuch as we will even
tually need a new reservoir one can
be obtained now at a much lower cost
than later on when government help
may no longer be obtainable.
Before the government will assist in
such projects, the local communities
that apply for assistance must be able
to show their financial ability to take
care of their share of the undertaking.
The reason for this is obvious.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1935-05-30

If the bond issue should be acted
upon favorably it is not the intention
of the Mayor and Council to float the
entire issue (unless absolutely neces-
sary) but only so much as may be
necessary to take care of their share
of the cost The bond issue cannot be
sold below par and may be redeemed
in whole or in part after the expira-
ton of five years. The interest rate is
4 per cent. 1t would appear that the
taxpayers interests have been taken
care of in the proposed issuance and
sale of the bonds.
Another feature of increased water
supply is the effect it should have on
the fire insurance rates on property in
the town of Oakland.

Red Cross Urges Caution In Ac-
curing Summertime Tan

AS the summer solstice draws near
a timely warning as to sunburn is
given by Harold F. Elbows, national
director of first aid and life saving for
the American Red Cross.
"a danger of the early days of hot
weather is that Of getting too much
sunburn in too short time or suffer-
ing from sunstroke and exhaustion
from heat" he pointed out yesterday.
at is well to remember that sunbuIn
that comes on a cloudy day may cause
even more serious damage than that
caused by direct sunshine, because the
victim does not suspect the damage
that is being done as the suns rays
filter through the clouds.
"Severe sunburn is dangerous. There
should be gradual exposure to the
suns rays until the skin is toughened
and tanned sufficiently to prevent
burns. A burn an an already burned
surface may be serious. The use of
olive oil, cocoa butter or some good
ointment for burns, applied before ex-
posture, will be of considerable help in
preventing serious burns, and they
can also be used as a remedy for first
degree burns. A calamine lotion which
can be bought at any drug store is very
soothing. If the burn covers a consid-
cradle area of the body, or if the pa
tient develops a fever, a physicians
services should be secured.
"Sunstroke, which annually causes
many deaths and prostrations, is
caused bV direct exposure to the suns
rays. A similar condition, heat stroke,
may be caused by excessive indoor
heat"

seen her in five or six years until last
night. I swear it,"
"But then" sneered Cara deadly
pale-"yo' made up for lost time
Hope yo' enjoy your business" The
girls small features had now become
livid. ooh you, cad-and I trusted
you, honored you, loved you," she
stormed. "You cheap creature"
"But-but," stammered Peter, "you
must listen to me, Cara. swear it
was for you"
"Don't make it worse by lyin'," she
cut in, viciously. "What poor trash
20 are sellin' yourself for Helena Mer
wins money. A fine figure you'll
make. When things get hard, yo
throw over the girl who-who," she
faltered, "who was goin' to stay by
you. And then you insult her by say
ing that yo' did it for her sake"
"Cara, you must listen!" Moved by
desperation, Peter stepped forward
his face hard mask of pain. "Have
a little faith in me-"
"Faith?" stormed the furious girl.
Faith? How dare yo' use the word ?"
"Cara!" Overwhelmed at the saw
agery of her wrath, Peter would have
caught her in his arms but, like a
maniac, Cara wrenched the riding crop
from his hands and dashed him twice
across the face before he could catch
her wrist.
"Liar!" she sobbed as the tears
coursed over her cheeks. 'I s'pose
you were huggin' and kissin' that Mer-
win creature all night. How I hate

you!"
Stunned and with the two slashes
across his face like brand marks, Peter
stood stiffly erect, watching Cara's
black clad figure as she darted to her
horse and mounted. From the sad
die she bowed, a CHASTITY smile on her
chalk white face.
"Good-by. I wish yo' well of your
dear little childhood friend, but don't
forget to tell her one thing-that, in
buyin' husband, she's picked up the
rottenest bargain she could find in all
Maryland"
With a furious energy that made
the animal rear in panied protest Cara
wrenched her mount about and drove
her spur viciously in his flank to DASH
from sight in an instant, amid wild
crashing of underbrush.
Utterly overwhelmed and crushed,
the engineer stalked grimly across to
fallen log and sank upon it, to taste
at that moment such despair as sell
dom afflicts human soul.
"What mess I've made Of things!"
he sighed. "Cara loathes me, Helena
despises me nd-and-Well, Golden
rod, since I've given my word, sup
pose there nothing for it but to go
through until the wedding day. Then
we'll pay up and get out, go some
where-away, Ell, Goldenrod?"
On hearing his name, the beautiful
animal cooked his ears at the crushed
and bent figure, then with rein dang
ling, he solemnly drew near to rub
a velvet muzzle gently against the
engineers quivering shoulder.
"You-all don't really aim to sell Bel
larion, now do you, Miss Helena ?"
Jameson, grizzled head groom of the
Elkhorn stables, blinked increduously
on Helena's 1.-the figure, trinity garb-
ed in brown jodhpurs.
"I'm afraid so, Jameson" she re-

"But Miss Helena, you-all trained
him yo'self. Sho' now, you used to
love him..
The girl in brown WINGED impercep-
tibly, then dropped her eyes that were
yelled with emotion.
T-I still do, Jameson, Nevertheless
Pm going to sell him."
The groom's gnarled brown hand
crept up to his thinning pate and rub
bed the gray thatch, perplexedly. "But
what for, Miss Helena? Think it over
you don't want to do that. You-all
will feel right sorry tomorrow or day
after. Lord knows they's plenty of
room in v stable and plenty of money
to feed him."
Helena firmly suppressed a desire
to weep and cast lingering glance
on the splendid intelligent head thrust
out of the box stall. Nevertheless,
Jameson, my mind is made up. Mr..
Stockton will be here for him after the
hunt tomorrow" To end CONVERSE
ton that was becoming painful she
swung up to the old stone club house,
staring fixedly in front of her and
fighting hard to keep back the tears.
ooh Bellarion, my beautiful Bellar-
ion!" she whispered. cts a wicked
shame, and just when thought we'd
be hunting together again. But" a
long sigh shook her perfectly tailored
figure-"if our Peter needs the help
he'll have it, no matter what the cost!"
Arriving in the quaint, old club
house, she made her way to the office
of the M. F. H. and raped her gloved
knuckles on the door.
"Come in," she heard Mr.. Douglas
familiar voice calling. Seeing her he
started. "Why, Helena - what's
wrong, child?"

muscles are involved the exercises range from the
simplest to the complicated and must be
taken with extreme care and patience
The hand, like the wrist, is capable OF practically
every kind of notion and must be exercised Just as
carefully At first the exercises should be controlled
by a physician physiotherapist, who moves the
Joints while you make no effort at all.
