Maybe there will come time when
the town and county laws against
dogs running at large will be enforced.
In Johnstown they are investigating a
charge that deer-running dogs were
responsible for damage to severa:
greens of the municipal golf course
there.
If that time ever comes here, it's a
good bet that the dog law will be en-
forced
Garrett county people don't seem to
be the only ones who are not interested
in writing letters to the editot about
school problems. Several weeks ago
we invited comment about crowded
conditions of schools, the boud issue,
etc. Several verbal answers Were
given, but not one letter to the editor
was written about it.
Mr.. U. G. Palmer. former school
teacher here, did, however, send US
clippings from a paper at Oakmont,
Pa, showing a similar experience
there.
The newspaper solicited comment
from their readers concerning the ad-
visibility of a nine instead of a ter
month school term. 1t did not receive
one comment eitE.r way. The lack of
response in the question evidently was
due to the fac; that the public didn't
care whether the children salutcd the
teacher nine or ten months. The chill
dren probably cared, but they don't
read editorials.
Of course, there might be the sad
possibility that the newspaper isn't
being read. But nobody would be-
lieve that if they would answer the
phone at the office very long. "Hey,
take my ad out of the classified
column, got 40 telephone calls" one
person called in last week; and another
person swore that he had been
swamped with inquiries about the
articles he had for sale. So you can't
blame the lack of answers on that
score.
Aside from the fact that the Noun
tain Choir Festival, in seeking new me-
diums for Christian worship, has
reached new heights in making people
conscious of the great need for re-
ligious expression through music, ard
as such stands as a monument to it's
director, Rev. Felix G. Robinson, there
is perhaps no other event at present
which so much advertises this region,
as does the choir festival.
During the past several months
there have been news releases pub
lished in many papers. The actual
event was broadcast to all parts Of the
United States and even foreign coun-
tries.
An event of this kind does more to
bring Mt. Lake and Oakland before
the public than planned advertising
campaign costing thousands Of dol
lars.
For its helpfulness, both inwardly
and outwardly, the Mountain Choir
Festival should have the hearty CO.
operation of every person on the noun
tain top.

GUARD HERE GETS

Col Shepard L. Pike, q. S. A.. re-
ported for duty last week as senior
instructor Of the 29th National Guard
Division, which is composed Of the
citizen soldiers Of this city, Maryland,
Virginia and part of Pennsylvania.
He came here from the headquarters
of the 9th Corps Area Of the Army
at the Presidio of San Francisco.
Col. Pike Immediately began famil-
iarizing himself with his new assign
ment. One of his first important
duties. it was indicated, will be to dis
cuss with Maj. Gen. Milton A. Reckord,
National Guard of Maryland and COM
manding general of the 29th Division.
the matter of a camp for the goth
Division Headquarters. This matter
has been held up pending the arrival
of Col. Pike.
recommendations had been made
prior to the notice of the assignment
of Col. Pike that the 29th Division
Headquarters conduct mobile camp
in the area where a number of Civil
War battles were fought in the vicinity
of Fredericksburg, Va. The plans
tentatively call for temporary camps
to be set up each night so that in
working over the campaigns in that
area the officers and men can be
moved as their problems progress dur
ing the two weeks encampment.
Another plan calls for the establish
ment of a permanent camp in some
point central to the area in which
the war games will be worked out.
with the troops moving out each day
to work out the programs given the
officers by the instructors. AS Col.
Pike will direct this instruction, it
was believed that it would be better
to consult him about the matter be-
fore a final decision was made and
sent to the Sd Army Corps Area head
quarters at Baltimore, Md, for ap-
proval.

.LANs and efforts at drills Of tn,

| - 1st Battalion, United States
Naval Reserves of the District
q Of Columbia, are being di-
rected toward the preparations for the
annual inspections. tentatively sched-
uled for next month, by a board of
naval officers, on duty at the Navy
Department, at the armory. These Of
ficerS, by tests and examinations, will
determine the efficiency of the bat
talon for active duty and determine
the progress which it has made dur
ing the past II months.
While 1t was pointed out that the
local organization last year received
a mark considerably higher than pre-
vious years, the training now being
given is destined to put them consid-
erably higher in the list this year.
The old reports have been thoroughly
examined by Lieut.. James E. Sullivan,
battalion commander, and the various
division commanders, with a view to
determine the weakness discovered
and reported on by the boards in pre-
vious years. Special attention will be
given during the preparatory period
to these faults, with view to having
them corrected before the inspectors
arrive.
Its officers are Of the highest caliber,
many of them being graduates of the
Naval Academy who have resigned
from the service to seek more lucrative
positions in civil life. There is prac-
| tically full attendance each drill
night. One of the reasons for this is
the organization has such large wait
| ing list that the men realize that once
they lag there are men on the Volun-
teer Reserve list ready to take their
places in the Fleet Reserve, where pay
Is provided for each drill which the
men attend. The average age of the
officers. prominent in their civil pro-
| fessions, is 80 years. which means the
Government will benefit for years by
their training because Of the fact that
they will be eligible for active service
for long time.
The orders for the U. S. Destroyer
Leary to remain here until the be-
| ginning of Summer provide the bat
talon with means of better perfect
ing themselves for the annual inspec-
| tions.
Advancement in ratings for the en-
| listed personnel is being given special
| attention. 1t was pointed out all en-
listed men who can qualify for duties
in the next higher rating are being
given every encouragement by their
division officers, who are helping them
in their studies preparatory TO taking
the examinations. which they must
pass is order to get the promotions.
Lieut.. John M. Fewell is head of
the enlisted mems examining board,
assisted by Lieut.. John Wetheril and
Lieut.. c. H. Williams.

is commander has made noticeable
progress.
The members of the Naval Com
munication Reserve, commanded by
Lieut. j. H. Nicholson, we're taken
aboard the Dutch submarine Ole
last week for an inspection.
With the approach of Spring prepa-
rations are being made to place in the
water the small training launch as
signed here for the local Reserves IL
Is hauled out of the water each Win
ter to protect it from damage by Ice
In the river. By the time the cruising
| season begins it is expected the vessel
Will be given a thorough overhauling,
SO that it will be in condition to be
used continuously on week ends during
the Spring, Summer and Fall months.
Officers are facing the problem OF
how to give all of the members of the
battalion a cruise this Summer. Be-
fore the organization was enlarged
through additional funds provided by
Congress, it was barely possible to give
each man one cruise during the
months that the ship is available. But
with the increase this has become a
problem, and the officers indicate they
will renew their efforts TO have the
Navy Department assign a larger
vessel here SO that the officers and
men may obtain more Summer train
ing.
Officers point out Naval Reserve
units in other parts Of the country are
getting ships, and they can see no rea-
son why the Navy Department can
not assign a vessel here for the Re-
Servists. AS it would be in port, docked
at the Washington Navy Yard, each
week, it was said it would give many
visitors to Washington who go to the
yard their only opportunity to see
naval vessel of this type, particularly
those who come from the inland
States.
The commandant OF the Sd Naval
District has recommended to the Navy
Department that the records of Re-
serves supply officers be scrutinized
annually when assignments to train
ing duty aboard ship are being con-
sidered, with view to giving prefer
ence to those who have completed the
correspondence course of the Bureau
of Supplies and Accounts. The Bu-
reau Of Supplies and Accounts and
the Bureau of Navigation have given
their approval to this recommended
ton, which is expected to result in the
application Of a number of supply
officers for enrolment in the courses.
1t was announced qualifications for
the appointment in the aviation
branch of the Marine Corps from civil
life include the following: The candi-
dates must be more than 20 and less
than 25 years of age; must be citizens
Of the United States and unmarried:
must be graduates of a four-year
course of a college or university ap-
proved by the Association of American
Universities and must give promise of
successfully completing flight training
at the Naval Air Station at Pensacola,
Fla.
