BASEBALL IN DOUBT
At HIGH SCHOOL
Lack of Funds May Block
Sport If Fans Do Not
Come Forward With
Aid

No steps have been taken at Hen
derson high school toward the or
ganiZation of a baseball team, it was
stated today by Coach Bing Miller,
due to the lack of funds for the sport.
Several major obstacles face the
club, such as supplying uniforms, balls
and bats as well as a place to play.
The club could work out at League
Park as it has in past years, since the
schools athletic field is in no condi-
ton for baseball.
The schools athletic association is
practically out of debt, and athletic
authorities are hesitant about placing
it under heavy burden of debt for
baseball
Miller, an outstanding baseball play
er, is probably one of the best
coaches the local school has had in
recent years, and he is anxious to
get out baseball nine.
He sees no way for club at the
local club unless baseball fans here
back the group financially.

Had Permit To Cut Tree, Says
City Council Head

The cutting down of that stately old
oak tree in front of the Oakland Ele-
mentary school was done in a perfect
ly legal manner, according to Edward
A. Shaffer, president of the Oakland
City Council.
Z; eve had permit to cut down that
tree as far back as 1884," Mr.. Shaffer
said, "but waited until the telegraph
company's men came to Oakland to
clear their right of way"
Mr.. Shaffer explained that the City
Council had received number of COM
plants of children dashing out into
the roadway from behind the tree, al
most causing accidents a number of
times as motorists passed there. He
also said there was trouble with drain
age at the spot on account of the tree
roots seeking moisture.
A resident of Oakland who had a
conversation with H. C. Buckingham,
district forester, stated that that Off
Ger said the permit to destroy the tree
which was issued in 1884, by the State
Forestry Department, had been re-
voked.
Mr.. Shaffer said he knew of no other
trees along the streets that were
slated to be cut down.

RESERVOIR COMPLETION
is HALTED BY WEATHER
Routine Matters Taken Up At
Regular Meeting Of City Council

At a meeting of the Mayor and
Town Council on Moday evening it
was decided to postpone the COM
pletion of the repairing of the towns
reservoir until warmer and more
favorable weather, to insure guaran-
teed job.
The new reservoir is serving the
town adequately, it was stated, and
there is no need for the old one at the
present time. The old reservoir is be-
ing repaired at cost of $4,000, which
will make it practically as good as
new.
The Council decided to give not
more than $4,000 toward the expense
of decorating the streets of the town
during the holiday season. This money
is being used in purchasing laurel
STRAINS and colored lights. Twenty five
STRAINS are to be placed across the bust
ness streets of town.
The council gave permission to the
Board of Education to build a garage
and, storage room in rear of the high
school.
Monthly bills amounting to about
$1,000, were ordered paid. The Coun-
Gil authorized the borrowing of ST.
500, to meet regular bills and coming
bonded Indebtedness, until tardy pay
.ments were made up. The shortage of
cash at this time was said to be due
to the construction of the golf course,
and the large street improvement pro-
gram of the past summer. The city
clerk was instructed to write letter,
serving notice on Shahan's garage, to
keep parked cars and dismantled cars
off the street right of way i'll front of
their building.

Stuck Truck Gets Wrecker
Stuck Wrecker Gets Wrecker

1t is not very unusual when truck
gets stuck in a ditch and calls a
wrecker, but when a wrecker gets
stuck and calls another wrecker, that's
news.
While delivering express packages
on Pennington street Monday, Brown
ing's truck became stuck in ditch on
account of the snow filling rather
deep place beneath it. The driver
called the Teets garage and wrecker
appeared. Then the wrecker got stuck
and the driver of that machine called
tn eFord garage. This wrecker es-
capped the ditch and brought the other
two machines on to the roadway.
The lady who called The Republican
and reported the incident, stated: "And
they weren't women drivers, either"

OAKLAND WILL Be GAYLY
DECORATED FOR YULETTDE
Streets To Have Curb Trees And
STRAINS Of ColOred Lights; Will
Erect Community Tree
CHILDREN TO GET TREAT

Oakland, already beginning to
assume a holiday atmosphere in
many of the stores, will be gayly
decorated for the Christmas sea-
son, according to present plans
of the Oakland Rotary Club, the
City Council and business men.
Members of the Oakland Rotary
Club are again taking charge of the
street decorations to be made of lau-
rel and STRAINS of colored bulbs. At a
meeting of the City Council on Mon
day it was decided to give an amount
not exceeding $50 toward the expense
of such decorations. The Rotary COM
mittee in charge of this work include
Emroy Bolden, Arthur Lawton, Frank
Kley, Earl Shartzer, Ralph Weber and
G. E. Sharps.
Business men will again erect and
decorate their curb Christmas trees,
and committee members are asking
that this be done as soon as posi-
BILE. Most of the trees were brought
into Oakland Monday and will be dis
tributed within the next few days.
There will also be a Community
Tree at the corner of Liberty and Sec
ond streets, on the Presbyterian church
lawn, which will be obtained and put
in place by members of the Oakland
Fire Department. 1t will be decorated
by men of the West Maryland Power
Company. Families and householders
do not plan to decorate until about De-
cember 20.
According to present plans all deco
rations are to be in place early next
week, so that Oakland will begin to
radiate the Christmas spirit in plenty
of time.
Stores To Remain Open
Beginning around December Is, a
number of stores will remain open in
the evening to accommodate those who
desire to make their Christmas pur-
chases now and thus avoid the last
minute rush. Grocery and other stores
not featuring Christmas goods will
remain open in the evenings after De-
cember 20.
There are also some tentative plans
for some special service around the
Community Tree, but no definite pro-
gram could be announced.
Annual Treat For Children
The annual treat for children of the
community will be given from beneath
the community tree probably on Fri
day afternoon, December "a. Each
boy and girl IL years old or under will
be given a treat which will probably
contain, as in former years, an orange
and sack of candy. This is under
the auspices of the Rotary club.
Holiday buying is said to have al
read started to some extent.
All churches are planning special
Christmas services in observance Of
the anniversary of the coming Of
Christ to the world, and these will be
given in detail later.

REV. SHILKE RESIGNS AS
PASTOR OF LOCAL CHURCH
Becomes Effective Jan. 1; May
Complete Work at Gettysburg

Rev. Charles A. Shilke, pastor of St.
Marks Lutheran church, Oakland,
since 1926, has rendered his resigna-
ton to become effective January 1,
1888.
A review of Rev. Shilke's record of
activities since coming to Oakland
shows that he has been interested in
its welfare in many ways.
Rev. Shilke was graduated from
Gettysburg College and Seminary and
entered the ministry at Walkersville,
Frederick county, Md, where he
served for eleven years. He came to
Oakland in July, 1926. Since that time
his activities in both church and COM
munity life have been many and var
led in scope.
In church work the Sunday school
was fully graded and all organizations
were advanced, including two mission
airy societies, the Brotherhood and the
Luther League.
During his pastorate the exterior Of
the church was completely repaired,
the interior decorated, a new lighting
system installed, at a cost of about
$500, all of which was fully met. This
year the Sunday school room was re-
decorated, a large painting of Jesus
the Good Shepherd dedicated, and last
week organ chimes, gift from a for
mer member, was dedicated.
In the Lutheran Synod of West Vir-
ginia he has also been active. He has
been it's vice-president and served on
many committees; at present men,
Der of the Executive and Stewardship
Committees, member of Home Board
of Tressler Orphans Home in Logs
vile, Pa, and has been the Synod's
delegate at the General Conference of
the United Lutheran Church.
In community activities he became a
member of the Rotary Club and has
been one of it's most active members,
serving six years as chairman OF the
Boys Work Committee, conducting
Youth Week annually with outstand-
ing events, eliminating last year with
an achievement contest of SAL entries.
He was also member of the Commu-
nifty Committee in charge of beautify-
ing Oakland at Christmas.
His interests have been countrywide,
especially in connection with the Re-
ligious Education Council, of which he
was director; many teacher training
classes conducted; directed Daily Va
cation Bible schools; organized local
chapter of the American Bible Society
and is the States vice-president. He
has kept alive the Mountain Top Min
isters' Association since 1927, being
it's president three times. He took an
active interest in the Allegheny Table
land Association, regional group for
promotion of eight counties of the
mountain top. In 1884 he was business
manager of the Tableland Music Fes-
tival at Mountain Lake Park, and in
1885 again assisted, bringing music
appreciation to thousands.
Rev. Shilke holds the record of the
longest pastorate of the Oakland
Lutheran church. He is hopeful of re-
ceiving a cali before his resignation
becomes effective January 1, but if
not he intends to go to Gettysburg to
complete his work for his degree of
Pache1or of Divinity
