Mercury Drops To 27 Degrees
This Morning

The warm weather of last week
which had speeded Garrett county's
80 ling season about ten days, was
given decided setback this week, and
this mornings reading of the mer-
curry of 27 degrees at Weber's Gov
eminent station puts an end to any
hopes for homegrown fruit this year.
Although cold throughout the week
the rain and cloudy skies kept frost
away. However, last night was clear
and the temperature dropped rapidly.
The freeze was more harmful than
usual on account of the dampness, ac-
cording to Ralph Weber. The mercury
at the State garage registered % de-
grees at some hour between one and
six o'clock this morning.
There is a possibility that the grow
ing wheat, which indicated a good
yield, has been damaged as a result of
the cold and freeze.

A student "skip-day" at Oakland
High school almost turned into a "big
hop" for a number of seniors but
they are back in school now after
signing an agreement regretting their
action and promising to do all their
skipping after school hours.

seniors inaugurated and participated
in a "skip-day" on Monday. They
chartered bus and went for a ride,
danced in a road house and roamed
around, apparently feeling free-but

greeable and by noon some Of them

F. D. Bittle, principal, that they

CCC EnrOllee Is Issued Canteen
Used by Uncle During Last
World Conflict

Enrollee YowIer, of the Swallow
Falls CCC camp, may not be a be-
hever of miracles or fate, but he was
brought up against a strange happen
ing one day last week.
Coming from Fayette county,
Pennsylvania, Yowler was assigned to
the Swallow Falls camp. He arrived in
camp one day last week and was
issued necessary equipment, among it
being a canteen and cup. During the
day he happened to glance on the in
side of the cup and there were the
initials and name of his uncle, the
same name as his, scratched in the
bottom Of the cup. His uncle had been
a member of the Blue Ridge division
during the World War, had been gas
sed in the service of his country which
later caused his death after his re-
turn to the States.
This strange coincidence was report
ed to army authorities of the camp.
The cup is now placed in the archives
of the camp, and the boys parents
have been there to visit him and to
see the cup which had been worn dur
ing the war by his fathers brother.

BLOOMINGTON WILL GET
PURER WATER SUPPLY
Will Come From Pipes Of West
ernpOrt Trunk Line

An agreement for the supplying of
water to Bloomington residents from
the Westernport trunk water line
leading from the dam on Savage River
to Westernport was reached Monday
night when Representatives of the
Bloomington Water Company met
with the Mayor and Commissioners
of Westernport.
Bloomington has been receiving
water from the Piedmont supply line
for many years. Since the construc-
tion Of a filtration plant at Piedmont
all Piedmont water is treated and fill
tered at that point, hence the water
now supplied to Bloomington is I'M
treated and is often found to contain
dangerous bacteria. Maryland health
officers have been trying to remedy
this situation for several years and it
has been generally recognized that the
solution to the problem was to discon-
meet the Bloomington line from the
Piedmont supply line and hook it up
with the Westernport supply line.
Westernport water is chlorinated at
the dam on Savage River. Shortage of
water and other difficulties have pre-
vented satisfactory agreement until
now.
Under the agreement reached Mon
day, the Bloomington company is to
charge the same rates to consumers as
those now in effect in Westernport.
Sixty per cent of the revenue is to be
turned over to Westernport and forty
per cent is to be retained by the COM
pany at Bloomington.

To Discuss Restoration of YOugh
River For Anglers at Conference

A conference to discuss the restora-
ton of the Youghiogheny River to
anglers by sealing abandoned mines
along its course, will be held come
time this month in Oakland, with
Maryland, Pennsylvania and West
Virginia cooperating. 1t is believed
that a large network of streams would
again be made available for anglers
should this be done.
A program of sealing abandoned
mines has been carried on in this
county for two years or more by the
WPA, and men have been at work for
some time along the Youghiogheny
River, near Crellin. This county pro-
gram also includes the Casselman,
and Potomac Rivers, and much work
has already been done along the Po-
tomac River.
The conference is being arranged by
the Maryland Conservation Commits
sion, of which DR.. Henry w. McComas
is member.

OAKLAND HIGH SENIORS TAKE HOLIDAY, BUT HAVE
REAL TOUGH TIME GETTING RE-ADMITTED TO SCHOOL

for a conference.
Tuesday morning the students tried
again but the rule remained in force.
Five or six got their parents. Other
parents refused to come. Many of
the students who travelled on buses
found it almost impossible to bring
theirs.
Somewhat awed by this time at the
consequences of their "skip-day," and
uncertain as to what to do, most Of
the sixty-two congregated in the
Court House before the office of F.
E. Rathbun, county superintendent, to
admit they were worried and tired of
their extended "skip-day". They main
tanned it had been done in class
spirit and not a mob spirit.
Mr.. Rathbun and Mr.. Bittle finally
conferred. Then they called in few
for discussion. The group indicated
they were anxious to return to school.
Sympathetic, Principal Bittle prom
ised they could return if they would
sign an agreement regretting their
action.
