MARCH ARRIVAL is LIKE
BOTH THE LAMB AND LION
Majority Think, However, Lion
Seemed To Have Upper Hand

In what condition March arrived on
the scene Tuesday is a question in
Garrett county, some of its charac-
teristics being much like lamb, while
others portrayed the actions of a
lion
To begin with the temperature on
Tuesday morning was II above zero,
and there were several inches of snow
on the ground (not very lamby). But
it was warmer than the previous morn
ing, which had reading of 9 above.
The sun shone practically the entire
day and the snow melted to some eX-
tent showing, according to some of
the weather-wise, a lamb-like atmos-
phere. However, throughout the day
there was strong wind which was
uncomfortable and piercing to many,
hence the impression that the lion held
the upper hand. The thermometer in
shady places did not go far above the
freezing point.
Wednesday continued clear and
warmer here.
Over the eastern states area, how
ever, there wasn't much doubt. The
March lion roared in on a 50-mile gale
in that section, giving them the most
bitter winter weather of the year
Temperatures dropped toward zero
Storm warnings flew from New York
to Maine as the gale kicked up high
seas and held coastwise shipping in
port.
So Garrett county is still a pretty
good spot in which to live.

breakfast for the four of you, they
readily consented"
SO up to the County Jail went the
foursome. The groom-to-be tried tc
curl up and sleep in the car, but gave
up within a short time and went in
where it was warm. The girl was
given the exclusive use of the women's

Drive on to Sweep The American
Automobile Industry Out OF
The Current Recession
TO STIMULATE BUSINESS

A national drive to sweep the Amer
lean automobile industry out of the
current recession and stimulate bus
mess generally has been announced
by Alvan Macauley, of New York,
speaking for every American automo-
bile manufacturer and the nations
$4,000 automobile dealers.
The campaign, to be known as "Na-
tional Used Car Exchange Week." and
scheduled for March to II, is an out
growth of recent conferences at the
White House between President
Roosevelt and leaders of the automo-
bile industry, Mr.. Macauley said. The
President has been advised of plans
for the campaign, which is the first
cooperative effort ever undertaken in
which all American automobile manu-
facturers have taken part.
The campaign is timed at the outset
of the spring selling season when
both new and used cars usually begin
to move in greatest volume, Mr.. Ma
cauley said. 1t is aimed primarily at
stimulating the disposal of used car
stocks now in dealer hands. Once this
is accomplished, a substantial increase
in car manufacturing schedules and
employment of wage earners in the
automobile factories is anticipated.
To support the campaign, Mr.. Ma
cauley announced, the manufacturers
will spend S1,25O,O0O in newspaper,
radio and outdoor advertising and in
other promotional channels. Two
thirds of the advertising budget will
be spent in newspapers.
Local Dealers Cooperate
Every automobile dealer operating
business in Oakland is cooperating
in this national drive, and through the
columns of The Republican all are adj
vertising a number of bargains avail
able in used cars and trucks.
Those cooperating include Ralph
Pritts garage, Hinebaugh's garage,
Shahan's Garage, Leighton Brothers
garage, Sharps Motor Company, Reck-
ard and Glotfelty, Auto Electric Ser
vice and Whites Garage and Service
Station.
"The motor car industry" said Mr..
Macauley in making the announce
ment, sis generally credited with show
ing the way out Of the last depression.
To-day the automobile manufactur-
ers, their supplyers, tn enation's 49,
900 dealers and allied industries are
launching a similar drive"
So far as the automobile industry is
concerned, the most serious barrier to
business improvement is the large
stock Of used cars in dealers hands,
Mr.. Macauley pointed out.
"Until these cars can be sold, it is
