LAKE ASSOCIATION SENDS
INVITATION TO TYDINGS
Wants Him To See Possibilities
OF This Region As A Resort

At a meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Deep Creek Lake As
sociation, held Saturday evening at
the Deep Creek Yacht club, an invi-
tation was extended to United States
Senator Willard Tydings to be a guest
of the committee on the weekend Of
July to see the vacation POSSIBLE
ties Of this county.
The Deep Creek Lake Association
was formed last year by a group of
lake property owners to promote the
health, happiness and interests of all
VIII ocome to this section. Other OBJ
jectives are to give wise and forceful
direction to the growth of the COM
munity, to promote the interests of
the county in bringing new taXpay-
ers to it, and put through the building
of cottages and the purchase of pro-
ducts from local farmers, and thus
increase the circulation of money in
the community. The organization
also feels that roads and electricity
constitute a key to further growth
there.
In the plan of the association, ac-
cording to Major Carey, secretary
treasurer, is the hope of getting an
expert from the United States Parks
System to make an early, careful sur
vey of the section, chart needed roads,
suggest commercial areas and develop
landscape ideas along lines that are
natural to the locality. A survey of
wild life in the county by a federal
representative with suggested i'm
provement, is also in the plan.

Weather Considered Peculiar

The weather of the past two weeks
or more has been one of the most
peculiar on record, according to a
number of older citizens whose
memories run back quite a few years.
Hardly day has passed in which
rain has not fallen, and during which
time it is strange sight to see the
sun shining in all it's force and glory.
Even the old maxim, "Red at night,
sailors delight" has not been carried
out for upon two occasions there were
signs of a clear day ahead, but upon
awakening the next morning people
found it had rained during the night
and the skies were still overcast.
Tuesday, June 81, was the longest
day in the year, and since that time
days have been getting shorter by a
few seconds each "a hours.

County Commissioners to AS
sumo Sponsorship of Sewing
Projects

Beginning July 1 sewing projects
carried on in Maryland under the
Works Progress Administration, and
sponsored by the Board of State Aid
and Charities, will be sponsored by
the County Commissioners of the
various counties, it was announced by
f. H. Dryden, state administrator.
The County Commissioners of this
county accepted sponsorship Of the
projects at their meeting several
weeks ago, it was stated. A percent
age of the cost already is being borne
by the Commissioners and the change
of sponsorship will increase the cost

employed on sewing projects through
out the state. They produce garments
to clothe the needy unemployed in the
State. Each month they make 10000

PLAN IS PRESENTED FOR
OAKLAND HI PLAYGROUND
Delegation Presents Proposition
To Commissioners On Tuesday

A plan to obtain a playground for
Oakland High School was presented
to the Board of County Commissioners
on Tuesday afternoon by a delegation
of interested citizens, and although
the outcome will not be known until
the next meeting of that organization,
it was indicated that the request
might be granted.
The ground in question contains the
quantity of five or six acres on Eighth
street, near the Hamill bark house,
and is owned by Stuart F. Hamill. The
purchase of the ground would be made
by accepting a proposition favorable
both to the County Commissioners and
Mr.. Hamill which would necessitate
only small outlay of cash.
The lot, according to F. D. Bittle,
Oakland High school principal, who
was chief spokesman for the delega-
ton on Tuesday afternoon, could be
obtained Immediately and would be in
shape to use for soccer and fieldball
this fall. The ground is not far from
the school building.
1t was pointed out that all other
high schools in the county had ample
playground facilities for all athletic
activities and that Oakland High
school, which had half the total num-
Der of high school pupils in the county
had only small cage" for all recrea-
ton.
The Commissioners will inspect the
proposed site, confer with the Board
of Education, and give their reply at
their next meeting on Tuesday, July 8.
Looking ahead into the future it
was also pointed out that when the
proper time came there would also
be suitable ground in the neighbour
hood for a new high school building

Golf Course Will Not Open Off
cially Until July Is

At a special meeting of the Mayor
and Town Council Tuesday night, it
was decided, after comforting with
Henry Earring, Jr., local WPA adj
ministrator, that the golf course
would not be officially opened until
July Is.
Certain portions of the course, how
ever, will be available for practice, on
the west side of the area. The grass
on the fairways is being given that
much extra time to grow. The large
amount of rainfall and the small
amount of sunshine throughout the
past two months are said to have re-
tarded it's growth considerably.
