Oakland Citizens Also Get
Alarmed Over Radio Broadcast

A number of Oakland citizens were
among thousands of terror-stricken
radio listeners throughout the country
on Sunday night who became alarmed
when they tuned in on a series of syn
thetic news broadcasts which depicted
the beginning of an interplanetary
war, but as far as can be learned none
here fled from homes or voiced the
opinion that the world was coming to
an end, as was the case in many other
places.
One person did, however, put in a
telephone call to a relative in New
Jersey, to find out if she was all right.
Several people were really worried for
a while
The simulated news bulletins which
accompanied a radio dramatization of
H. G. Wells fantasy, "The War of the
Worlds" became so realistic that they
sent wave of mass hysteria across
the continent. The broadcast was in
tended only as fiction.
Persons believed that poison gas
expedition had arrived from Mars and
was spreading death and destruction
over the New York metropolitan area.
All over the metropolitan area people
jumped in their automobiles and start
ed for the wide open spaces. A hys-
terra developed unknown since the
World War.

An event that last year made posi-
BILE free cancer treatment for sixteen
Garrett county residents will be pre-
sented in Cumberland soon again. The
Cumberland Memorial hospital aux
iliary's third annual cancer clinic ba
zaar to be held in the Cumberland
State armory for one week starting
Saturday night, November 26.
These sixteen Garrett county resi-
dents received their treatments at the
free cancer clinic that was established
at Memorial hospital with the $1,000
in funds that was raised by the first
and second bazaars. The auxiliary this
year hopes to raise $4,000, of which
$4,000 will be used for the purchase
of new x-ray machine for the dag
nosis of a patients ills-free of charge.
The current and third annual bazaar
has been entitled "Cumberland's Little
Worlds Fair" with the subtitle "Fun
for Funds" 1t will provide an out
standing week of entertainment on
Cumberland's fall schedule, coming as
it does the week following Thanks
giving.
AS in former years the State armory
basement will be attractively decOrat-
ed-this year as a French street cafe
and is expected to prove mecca
for the crowds that will attend the
bazaar. Members of the Town Hall
players, Cumberland dramatic or
ganization, will provide vocal and in
strumental entertainment.

GOVERNOR NICE PRAISES
ROAD WORK In MARYLAND
Says His Administration Found
Highways in Bad Condition
Nice COnfiden: of Re-
Election
ENDS COUNTY CAMPAIGN

Governor Harry Nice returned to
Baltimore yesterday for the final
stages of his campaign for reelection
asserting he was "abundantly conf
dent that the people of Maryland will
again make me their governor"
In the speech prepared for broad
cast the governor said the campaign
tour through the state showed 'the
people approve my action" in restor-
ing pay to teachers, rehabilitating
state institutions, highway construc-
ton, labor policy, rehabilitation of
natural resources, fiscal policy and for
having obtained aid from the Demo-
cratic administration in Washington.
81 return to Baltimore still in
doubt-the people are in doubt as to
where my opponent Attorney General
Herbert R. O'Conor stands on many
vital issues" he said. "He has yet to
tell the people where he stands on
labor. Asserting that O'Conor was a
short year ago ''most vocal in his
laudation of the New Deal" Nice
asked
why in this campaign has he failed
to mention the President of the Unit
ed States or the New Deal? Is it be-
cause he is afraid? He is now a Demo-
cratic candidate. Why doesn't he
speak up?
He cannot concoct schemes to
build a great park in Garrett county
or to rebeautify the Eastern shore
with millions of dollars of your hard
earned money and exect these childish
dreams to camoufage the issues-or
to be a substitute for hhis position on
labor and the New Deal"
In the Governors speech at Sails
bury on Monday evening he praised
the road-building achievements of his
Republican administration and criti
cized the highways built by his Demo
cratic predecessors. "My administra
ton is building adequate scientifically
roads - my state roads commission
is not lending money to bankrupt
street car companies" The governor
pledged his administration to con-
tinued construction of "accident-proof
highways" as rapidly as finances
would permit

TO REST AT MEYERSDALE

County Resident, Shoots Self
at Home

Funeral services for Alvin C. Engle-
hart, who committed suicide by shoot
ing himself in the head early Friday
morning at the family home in Mey-

afternoon with interment in the Union
cemetery at Meyersdale.
Coroner F. E. Saas announced that
Mr.. Englehart had shot himself in the
head with a revolver while in fit of
dependency, and lying in bed. The
shooting is believed to have occurred
about o'clock when the B. and o.
"streamliner" rushed by the house,
and at which time also one of the
daughters believed that she heard a
shot, and it is believed that Mr.. Engle-
hart timed the shooting while the
train was passing in order to deaden
the noise.
The deed was not discovered until
nearly noon on Friday when daugh-
ter Ruth went upstairs to awaken her
father and found his body. Mr.. Engle-
hart had been in i'll health for some
time, having only recently returned
from a sanitarium at Clifton Springs,
N. Y, where he and Mrs. Englehart
had spent the summer and autumn
months.
Mr.. Englehart was a native of
Accident, this county, but had been a
resident of Meyersdale for more than
twenty-five years, and since 1926 had
served as a salesman for the j. M.
Cook and Son Company, wholesale
concern in which he later acquired the
controlling interest. He was son OF
the late William and Elizabeth
(Cropp) Englehart, and was born July
4. 1888. Surviving are his widow, Mrs.
Josephine (Browning) Englehart, and
five children, Ruth, Eloise, Lois and

Halloween Passes Quietly

Halloween passed off quietly in Oak
land, in comparison with Halloween
celebrations of former years.
In place of the five hundred or more
who usually participated in the parade
there were a mere one hundred, but
this was expected as no prizes of any
kind were offered this year.
There was practically no soaping
of windows or cars in the downtown
area, and no pranks were reported.
Police made no arrests.
The parade was followed by band
selections by Mickey's band, and then
square dancing on Second street A
round dance was held at the Manhat-
tan Hotel.

To Destroy Smoke OdOr.-Put
basin of water in each room and
leave windows open an inch at top
and bottom until the odor disap-
pears.
ClOgged Sinks.-A mixture of
washing soda and vinegar poured
down a choked-up sink or basin
will dissolve any soap or grease
which is causing it to clog.
Cultivate Soft Voice.-A harsh
rasping voice, coming from
pretty, well-groomed girl, is sure
to jolt the nerves of listeners. All
sensitive ears rebel against a fiat,
dull voice or one that screeches
and shouts, and even more against
hardly audible, mumbling CONVEX
sation. Try to speak clearly and
distinctly, being particular about
the enunciation of each syllable
and word.
Safety Measure. - To fill
steaming teakettle place small
funnel in the spout to prevent
burning your hands in taking off
the cover.
When Cleaning Wind0ws.-Tis-
sue paper makes an excellent pol
ish for window glass and mirrors.
Wash, dry and then polish with the
paper.
For Scared Furniture.-If you
will take a soft flannel cloth, dip
it in iodine, then rub gently over
SCARED mahogany furniture,
when it dries the scratches will be
almost unnoticeable. Then when
iodine is dry, apply a liberal coat
ing of good furniture oil.

Keep Down the WEIGHT

The first Is years of mans life
are devoted to growth. During
this period of youth, the body usu-
ally has a large fund of reserve
energy which can be called upon
in times of stress. During the next
Is or 80 years, the weight should
remain constant. If the diet is
properly regulated, and sound
habits of hygiene are followed, a
man or woman will come into
middle age full of vigor and with
mental and physical capacities
undiminished.
Unfortunately, however, the
laws of hygiene and nutrition are
often broken during the active
middle years. AS a result, bodily
reserves are depleted and middle
age finds many men and women
near the danger line, no longer
able to resist infections and the
degenerative diseases.
That is why it is so desirable
if you hope to be vigorous at SO
and after-that you begin to plan
for it many years earlier.
Live sensibly. Avoid overwork.
Regularly take a moderate
amount of exercise. Get enough
sleep so that you avoid that chron-
ic tired feeling" Above all, eat
enough, but not too much, of
the foods that build and maintain
health: milk; eggs; fruits and
vegetables; protein foods in
amounts just sufficient to meet
your requirements, SO that there
is no excess to be eliminated;
enough fuel foods to give you plen-
ty of pep and power. but not in
amounts that will cause the
weight increase which many peo-

It's not so many years since
you heard a good photograph
record at your neighbours
house, thereupon rushing right
down to the music store to buy
a copy for your own grama-
phone. Maybe it was one of
Gene Austin's remarkably sue
cessful songs-remember?
In those days, a composer
could write eyes, We Have
No Bananas" or ''Margie"
and settle back to watch the
profits roll in from sheet
music, recordings and dance
orchestras. For a year or
more, Carolina Moon" swept the
nation and nobody tired of it; in
deed, we haven't tired of it yet.
But that was long ago-maybe 10
years-in the dim, halcyon days be-
fore home was not the same without
a radio, before music became a
high-speed industry instead of lei
surely profession. Nowadays you
get shivers up the back one week
from "A-tisket, A-tasket" and the
following week you scream when
ever anyone huns it. The first
time you hear Flat Foot Floogie"
1t has a novel catch; but after it's
been smashed all over your living
room by every band from Benny
Goodman to the Hot Shot Six, Flat
Foot Floogie" really falls fiat.
In other words, if you've any ideas
about making million by writing
popular song, get rid of them.
The tide has changed so rapidly, so
completely, that the modern COM
poser starves to death unless he can
grind out several new tunes a year.

Curb the Appetite for Rich Foods

Curb the Appetite for Rich Foods
1t is most important to avoid
overeating. For muscular activi-
ty decreases with the passing
years. The middle aged individ-
ual often rides where a younger
person might walk or observes &C.
tive sports from the sidelines
where he formerly played them
with zeal. Unfortunately. how
ever, the appetite seldom dimin-
ishes in proportion to the lessened
fuel needs. That is why every
Individual who has entered upon
the middle years should check his
or her weight frequently, and
promptly reduce the fuel foods if
significant gain is noted.
The protein requirement dirnin-
ishes somewhat after the age of go
for no new tissue is being built.
1t is, furthermore, advisable to
take large share of the protein
in the form of milk and eggs.
Vegetables should be used free
ly and if there is difficulty in mas
tication, they may be finely
chopped. Fresh fruits may be
eaten as long as they do not cause
fermentation; otherwise cooked
fruits should be used instead. Con-
trary to popular opinion, sweets
can frequently be eaten in con-
siderable amounts without caus-
ing indigestion. Fats, however,
should be>used sparingly.
