To The Editor of The Republican:

Sir:
When will our farmers, and people
in general, wake up to the terrible
damage which is being done to Garrett
County by the destruction of her for
ests ? The last two or three years have
seen the cutting of trees on such a
wide scale that the County Agricul-
tural Agent says there are not enough
left to keep the top-soil from blowing
away. And still the damage continues,
although even timber dealers complain
of poor business and low prices. Not
only this, but many a fine shade tree
in town and country has been sacri-
feed for no apparent reason.
Everybody knows of the steady in
crease of high winds here. Perhaps
everyone does not think of the flood
damage to lower territories, and yet
this forest devastation is primarily
responsible.
We are Systematically driving out
our game and birds, for even where
trees are spared, there is so much
clearing of underground that no cover
is left And with the going of the
birds, harmful insects are greatly on
the increase.
There seems to be a universal ten
dency to clear away. Do not the per-
sons who do this realize that Garrett
County's principal charm lies in her
rugged woods, and that to attempt
to make cultivated parks of them
spoils their natural beauty, beside
leaving no shelter for game? How can
we expect this County to become a
playground or summer resort if it is
devastated of trees, or tanned into a
series of parks? Witness the pitiable
spectacle of Route No. PIG this last
year or two.

Thanksgiving the
Day of FedSting

Thanksgiving and the Fourth of
July are the only two nationally OBJ
served holidays peculiar to the Uni
/ ted States. We share Christmas and
Easter with other countries, but on
| Thanksgiving and Independence Day
we hold monopoly. Just why this should
be is a question. Others have as
much to be thankful for as we do, but
apparently they are thankful for their
blessings when they remember to be,
and have not set aside a day for
gratitude
We all know how Thanksgiving
started. How the fifty-fve English
people who survived the year in
America set aside day in which to
give thanks and invited Massassoit
to come to dinner. Now Massassoit,
being an unusual man, brought along
ninety companions. How the good
Pilgrim mothers worried about hav-
ing enough to feed the unexpected
guests, but how the Indians obligingly
brought their own venison, and some
to share, besides.
Thanksgiving became a regularly
observed holiday in New England, and
later spread to the other states. The
governor of each state issued a
Thanksgiving proclamation to suit his
fancy, and until 1863 it was possible
to boast of having eaten four Thanks
giving dinners in as many states, for
rarely did any two governors have
the same inclinations. In this year,
however, Abraham Lincoln set the ex-
ample, and since then succeeding
presidents have proclaimed the last
Thursday in November as Thanksgiv-
ing Day.
The words Thanksgiving and dinner
go together as unfailingly as Christ
mas and tree. Perhaps because a we'll
fed person gives thanks more sincere
ly than a hungry one. Possibly
Governor Bradford realized this ten
dency of future Americans-to be
thankful chiefly on full stamochs-
and set an example by proclaiming
the first Thanksgiving as a day of
feasting. We wonder, though, is
Thanksgiving more of holiday than
holy day? Do we think more of
the dinner we get than the thanks we
give?

volumes will raise the number of
books in the library to something over
twenty-five hundred.
Some of the outstanding books in
clude Siple's "Boy Scout With Byrd"
Roberts, Northwest Passage"
Young's $50 Red the Rose" Hurts,
"Goals-The life of Knute Pockne,"
and the recently published book,

These are only a few of the many

If you should walk into one of the
biology classes this year, you might
see hundreds of microscopic animals
bustling about in a drop of water, or
you might see in an ordinary onion
that you eat every day, brick-like
little parts lined up end to end and
side by side like a pavement, as well
as many other interesting things.
This has been made possible
through the efforts of the school, Miss
Dillon, and the County Board of Edu-
cation, by purchasing machine that
is called a microprojector. Hereto
fore our work has been handicapped
in using a single microscope. The
basis of all biology is microscopic and
it has been almost impossible for
each person in large class to spend
more than minute or two looking
through the microscope during a
single period.
The microprojector works on the
following principal. A powerful light
is formed by an arc lamp. This goes
through tube, strikes a mirror, and
is reflected up through the object
placed on the microscope stage. At
the top rejecting prism causes an
image to be formed on the screen.
Everyone in the class then sees the
same thing at the same time. This
new equipment represents a con-
siderable advance for the science de-
partment, and Miss Dillon deserves
a lot of praise for her efforts used in

HUNTERS SHOULD SEEK
ONLY HEALTHY RABBITS
Precautions Are Urged AS Safe
guards Against Rabbit Fever

With the hunting season under way,
and with rabbits on the menu again,
DR.. R. H. Riley, Director Of the Mary
land State Department of Health,
cautions hunters, market men, house
wives, and cooks, and any others who
have occasion to handle the game, to
be sure they bag, or buy, healthy
specimens, only, and to exercise
special care inskinning the rabbits and
in preparing the meat for the market
or for the table Cooks and house
wives are advised that all rabbit meat
prepared for the table should be
cooked thoroughly.
"All of these precautions are
urged" DR.. Riley continued, "as safe
guards against contracting rabbit
fever If you are a hunter or
food handler you probably have heard
of the disease and know that it is
contracted in handling diseased rab-
bits-wild rabbits, particularly. While
it is Familiarity known as rabbit fever,
it is also listed in the text books as
Tularemia, from the place in Cali
fornia in which it was first identified.
"The disease spreads from animal
to animal through the bite of infected
ticks, or of ceratin kinds of flies. 1t
attacks wild rabbits, particularly. Do
nestle rabbits, as a rule, are free from
it, probably because they are not ex-
posed to ticks. Human beings con-
tract the disease either in handling,
skinning, or cutting up the meat of
the infected animals, through the bite
of infected ticks, or in crushing the
ticks. The infection can be absorbed
into the system through an open cut,
or even the merest scratch in the skin.
Severe cases have occurred through
rubbing infectious material into the
eyes, while preparing the meat for
the table. The disease has even been
contracted in handling the fur of in
fected animals.
fortunately not all wild animals
are infected and sportsment are
warned to be on their guard against
the animals that move slowly or seem
to be sick, and to kill only those that
are lively and alert and that move
quickly.
eff you handle the game or prepare
the meat for the market or the table
use the following precautions:
use rubber gloves. Don't handle
the game with bare hands. If it is
impossible to use rubber gloves,
wash the hands thoroughly with soap
and water after handling rabbit.
Don't allow the meat or fur to
come in contact with any scratch or
open cut in your skin. Keep your
hands away from your face and your
eyes.
Burn all papers or wrappings that
have been in contact with the game.
"Be careful in handling rabbit fur.
Don't give the fuzzy tails or the left
hind foot to the children to play with.
eff you buy your rabbit meat for
the table, have the rabbit skinned for
you.
Cook the meat thoroughly. Com
plete cooking destroys the germs of
the disease"

Manero Sure He
 "Has The Game" To Win U. 5. Open
BY ROBERT WEBB
nited Press Staff Corresponder


 Salem, Mass, June 3--CUP)-De- claring his game is several strokes better than when he won the National Open title at Baltusrol in 1936 with a ord-breaking 282, dapper Tony Manero today loomed as the hope of the East in the ap- preaching open championship at Denver.
 The confident ex-champion, who finished in a tie for 41st in last years title hunt, has spent the winter and spring whipping his game to championship caliber. He believes he can regain the title pro- yiding few breaks come his way.
 Dotes on Irons
 T am more fit, physically and mentally, than ever before" said the affable Italian who didn't graduate from caddy ranks until he was 22. T have been practicing my iron shots two hours daily. They tell me you must hit good irons to win at Denver"
 Manero has the attributes to win the big prize second time. Twelve pounds heavier than at Baltusrol, he has plenty of stamina. His men, tai attitude is just right and it goes without saying he has every shot in the bag.
 Tony counts on his irons to pull him through. During the 72 holes in the 1886 National Open, he didn't miss single green with an iron shot. He hasn't practiced much on driving because he figures long drivers won't have any advantage on the well-trapped Denver layout
 T tried too hard last yeah" said Manero, explaining his poor show ing in 1897. "There were so many cameras whirring when I shot that I went four over par on the first five holes. wanted to hit every shot perfect"
 This year, the pressure is off. purposely played in only two tourn- aments this winter at Florida. Since returning to Salem, I have played in only enough to keep myself keen. I am sure that my game is better than ever"
 In Fine Form
 Manero has played remarkably well in his few competitive appear ances this spring. He broke the course record at Providence, R. l., by three strokes with a 65 and 67 in the wind at Norfolk was a master piece.
 In the New England sectional qualifying rounds, Manero shared medalist honors with a 148. He was pleased to sink No. 4 iron from 170 yards out for an eagle two on the 33rd because his No. 4 is his best shot.
 T have averaged under II in com- petition," said Manero. Ten days ago, shot a 31 for the first time at Salem. It was the best score I ever made in my life"
 The 33-year-old professional, re- markedly accurate despite his slightly unorthodox style, rates Harry Cooper, Henry Picard, Sam Snead. Paul Runyan, and Johnny Revolta as the men to beat at Dem yer. But this is just camouflage. Tony expects to win the title him. self.

of Turcotte's left hooks with his chin. Buff had Eddie Rahm on the floor three times in two rounds, Referee Jim Calvin stopping the bout to save the game Rham from too much punishment. Dick Walsh lasted less than a round against Tommy Ciarlo, who dropped him twice, the second punch to the mid- section deciding Walsh to make up his mind to take the count.
 Best Bout
 Johnny Moraz, the Wolcott wal loper and Ken Reinhardt, the Mid dlebury mauler fought a 16O pound battle that ended all even, and gave the fans the best fight of the night. The boys went at it hammer and tongs" for three rounds and were given a great big hand" for their efforts. Firpo Mccall the Bantam bulldozer provided the comedy re- lief with Art Phaiah of Willimantic, a 180 pounder, Arthur folding up in round two but not before Firpo had the crowd in stitches with his odd antics. Art McKenna, 146, of Will edged Lou Murray Torring- ton in a hard battle that was well liked. Other results were:
 Tony Krupa, Al, Torrington, knocked out Young Mclean, IA, first round; Joe Monte, l40, Willimantic, defeated Joe Jor- dan, 138, Torrington; and Jimmy Niles, 151, Saybrook, defeated Billy 154, Naugatuck.
 Great Go Ahead
 Tommy Ciarlo and Irish Johnny Hayes of Bridgeport looks like next weeks top-liner. If they are match ed, don't miss it, as Hayes has al- ready decisioned the local boy, while the pair represent the best 135 pound talent in the state, with the excep- tion of Devon's Red Moffit, who is as good as either of them. Hayes, in Bridgeport last night, said he was ready to take on Ciarlo again at any time."

TODANS .SPORTsPARADE A8a&Hh
ts. BY HENRY McLEMORE

New York, June 3. - (UP) -
 Although warned by my physician
 that I am likely to develop cauli- flower ears unless I stop writing
 about boxing for while, l just must comment today on peculiar angle
 of the Joe Louis-Max Schmeling
 fight.
 Did you know that right now (which is l0:15 our time) Louis is a heavy favorite in the early betting, and that the bookmakers expect him to solidify his position as favorite between now and the time he de- lends his worlds title against the German? Jack Doyle told me this, Jack Doyle being Broadway's most celebrated layer of prices on sports events, and the only man in the world who owns sport coat made from the top of billiard table.
 The story of that coat isn't bad one, come to think of it. The origin of the Green coat, as I heard the story, involves a great shot once made by Willie Hoppe on table in Doyle's billiard establishment. Doyle was a witness to the shot and, to keep it ever green in his memory, ripped off the cover of the table and had a tailor work it into a sport jacket. When he is wearing it, and seen from distance, MT. Doyle can pass for the twin brother of young and healthy elm tree. It is a matter nf robins nested in the breast pocket for years.
 But to get back to Louis and Schmeling and the to l odds, how does one go about explaining such set-up? Odds normally are based on past performance, but these aren't because the last time Louis and Schmeling met the German nearly beat Joe to death before finally knocking him out. If that fight had anything to do with the odds, Schmeling, not Louis, should be the heavy favorite. Certainly nothing has happened since that night to re- create the Louis super-man myth. True, he later won the heavyweight tltle, put III winning IL ne peat q man - Braddock who, to steal phrase from the French, was at the end of his rope.
 Perhaps the fact that Schmeling is getting no younger, and at rapid rate, is the basis of the bettorS' preference for Louis. The German is 32 or 33, and when you're gihter, that sort of age puts you in the octogenarian League. Still, Schmel- ing has shown few if any signs of falling apart at the seams in the past two years. To look at him, and to watch him in the ring. he appears to be a sounder at him, and to watch him in the ring, he appears to be a sounder machine than he was on that memorable night in June, 1886. when he amazed the entira uncivilized world by belting out the supposedly invincible Brown Bomber.
 No one has ever accused Schmel- ing of not taking care of himself. His schedule is mighty near as rigor- OuS as that of a trappist monk. For
