FARMERS PREPARE TO GET
1886 FLOW OF MAPLE SAP
Busy Season for Producers in
County to Open This Month

Farmers throughout the Grantsville,
Bittinger, Accident and Ryan's Glade
sections of the county where sugar
maple groves are located, are max
ing ready for the 1886 season of the
tapping for water"
About 1875 farmers of the county
engage in this occupation each year
at about this time. 1t is estimated
that the maple sugar industry in the
county amounts to about $4,000 an
nually.
While some owners of sugar groves
believe the unprecedented cold wealth
er is threatening the success of the
crop because it will make the season
unusually short, others believe that
with favorable weather for the next
six weeks the season will be average
or better.
An article on the maple sugar and
syrup industry in this section is ap-
pearing on another page of today's
issue.

BRANDS AS FALSE REPORT
THAT DAM is WEAKENING
RumOrs In Pennsylvania Towns
to Effect That Dam May Break

G. E. MacMurray, superintendent
of the Power House at Sines, has
branded as entirely false the reports
that the Youghiogheny Hydro Elec-
trio company's dam might break at
any time, letting out the waters of
Deep Creek Lake with the probability
of flooding Friendsville, Confluence,
lockwood, and other towns along the
way.
The reports, according to Mr.. Mac
Murray, are being circulated mostly
in Confluence and lockwood, Pa, and
are to the effect that there is a leak
in the breast of the dam and that
there is a great danger of the con-
crete giving way. No such reports had
been heard in Oakland.
Mr.. MacMurray stated that the
breast of the dam is inspected twice
each day, that there has never been a
sign of leak anywhere, that although
there is a spring below the dam,
there is less water running from it
now than several months ago on ac-
count of the prolonged cold weather,
and that there is absolutely no foun-
dation for such reports. "The dam is
as strong today as when it was built"
Mr.. MacMurray said.
An ice gorge has formed on the
Youghiogheny river north of Friends
vile, which may account for the re-
ports, it was thought. Ice, lodged in
the river there, has backed up the
water until the Friendsville-Selbys-
port roadway has been impossible for
more than a week.
Deep Creek Lake at present is far
below its capacity, at is was used
constantly last summer and fall to
generate electric power for the COM
pany.

THAW TAKES LARGE PART
OF SNOW; STREAMS RISE
No Damage Expected-Ther-
mOmeter Reaches 50 During
Week

A large amount of the snow which
has covered the ground since before
Christmas has disappeared as re-
suit of a steady thaw since last week
end which ran the thermometer as
high as So.
The rapid melting of the snow
caused high waters here and much
concern was felt for awhile yesterday
as the Little Youghiogheny river con-
tinued to rise until it was out of its
banks. Wilson Creek while high re-
manned within it's banks and this
morning both streams are receding.
Possibility of high waters farther
north, along the Big Youghiogheny
river, was expressed by many.
The water from melting snow was
augmented on Tuesday when SO in
ches of rain fell.
WPA workers have continued to
shovel ice and snow away from the
main business section of Oakland and
it is estimated that more than 400
truck loads of snow have been hauled
away.
The high and low temperatures
throupho11t the week arc as follows.

Plans For Potomac Development

chance of being enacted in its present

oppose the plan because he believed
the Potomac watershed to be too small

FIRST AID COURSE MIGHT
BE OFFERED IN OAKLAND,
Would Be Standard Course Con-
Quoted Through the Red Cross

The Garrett County Chapter of the
American Red Cross is considering
offering First Aid course to class
of persons in Oakland. Three such
classes have already been conducted in
the north end of the county.
The course would probably require
two evenings each week for a period
of five weeks. 1t is the standard Red
Cross First Aid course, taught by
qualified physicians and nurses, ac-
cording to Mrs. E. 2. Tower, county
chairman. Persons completing this
course satisfactorily are given First
Aid certificate by the American Red
Cross which is accepted by employers
all over the country as an additional
qualification for a person seeking en-
ployment in many kinds of work.
Anyone interested in taking this
course are urged to notify Mrs. Tower
or the county health office.
The Garrett County Chapter of the
organization has promised to give a
suitable first aid outfit to any school
where the teacher qualities as first
aid worker. The Chimney Corner Inn
at Red House is now an established
highway first aid station, the first one
in Maryland. They have two qualified
first aid workers and have taken
charge of victims in several highway
accidents. A stretcher and other first
aid paraphernalia and supplies were
furnished by the Red Cross.
