Weather Has Been Favorable to
Farming Operations

Weather conditions the past ten
days or two weeks has been favorable
for plant growth and farming opera
tions, according to synopsis of con-
ditions, made by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture.
Pastures and grasses were consid-
cred from fair to good, except in some
districts of Southern Maryland, where
they were poor.
Harvesting of wheat and rye was
occupying the farmers in Garrett
county with oats ripening and the
heads filling out. Haying continues.
Digging early potatoes was in prog
ress except in the mountain areas,
where the tubers were maturing. The
crop was estimated as fair to good, but
County Agent John H. Carter warned
of a blight, which was beginning, on
account of the damp nights.
Corn was said to be growing rap
idly and even tasseling in the south
ern and central counties. Harvesting
of the early peas has mostly ended in
this county and harvesting of the late
peas in under way.

PLAN FOR SEWAGE PLANT
IS OUTLINED AT MEETING
Is One Suggested To Relieve Pol
luton of Little YOugh River

A plan for a modern sewage dispos-
al plant for Oakland, Mountain Lake
Park and Loeb Lynn, was outlined on
Monday night in the office of the Gar
rett County Commissioners by Lloyd
MacMurray, sanitary engineer for the
State Health Department. The plan
was proposed as one of the ways to
eliminate the pollution of the Little
Youghiogheny River, especially dur
ing the summer months when the
flow of water is the least.
The meeting was attended by repre-
sentatives of the three towns, the
County Commissioners and others in
terested. There was no decision made,
and according to DR.. H. R. DuPuy, To-
cal health officer, nothing definite can
be done until a sanitary district is set
up through an act of the Legislature.
This act would then permit bonds to
be foated to raise money for such a
disposal plant, and although the Com
missioners would underwrite such
bonds, it would be the responsibility
of the towns involved to pay off the
indebtedness. 1t is estimated that the
plant and trunk line from Loeb Lynn
to a point west of Oakland would cost
approximately $4,000.
A committee was appointed, consist
ing of Lawrence M. Fraley, mayor OF
Oakland, chairman; DR.. DuPuy, Her.
vey Bittner, acting mayor Of Noun
tain Lake Park, and H. M. Weeks,
mayor of Loeb Lynn, along with Mr..
Proctor, of the Mt. Airy Canning Co.
and John w. Herman, president OF the
County Commissioners, to continue to
study the problem.
The construction of dam to store
water to be used for flushing the river
at stated intervals throughout the
summer, has also been suggested as
another way to relieve the pollution OF
the stream.

NICHOLAS DUSIC BROWNS
IN DEEP CREEK TUESDAY
Hanover (Pa.) Man Was Seized
With Cramps; His Brother En-
eric Barely Reaches Shore
FIREMEN USE INHALATOR

Nicholas Dusic, 26 years old, man.
ager of shoe store at Hanover, Pa,
became the second victim of drowning
in Deep Creek Lake this year when he
was seized with cramp while bath
ing late Tuesday afternoon and was
drowned despite the efforts of Emeric
Dusic, his brother, of Oakland, to save
him.
The fatality occurred near McComas
Beach, about one mile from the breast
Of the dam, when the brothers were
swimming across one of the arms of
the lake. They were approximately
fifty feet from shore when Nicholas
was taken with a cramp, and Emeric,
in attempting to take him to the shore,
became exhausted and barely reached
the shore safely himself. His condition
was such and he was so thoroughly
weakened that he was compelled to re-
main in his bed for several hours.
Oakland fremen were summoned to

a graphing hook in about twelve feet
of water. The fremen worked on Du-
sizes body with an inhalator for almost
an hour before he was pronounced
dead by DR.. Baumgartner. His body
had been in the water for more than
an hour before being recovered.
Dusic, who managed the Cannon
shoe store at Hanover, came to Oak
land on Tuesday for a weeks vacation
and was on a picnic with his brother
and a few friends. Emeric Dusic said
that Nicholas had been in swimming
at Hanover on Sunday and had been
seized with a cramp at that time. Both
were considered excellent swimmers.
He was born December 6, 1911, at
Uniontown and was graduated from
Uniontown high school in 1881.
Dusic was unmarried and is sur
vived by four brothers, Ralph, Michael
and Louis Dusic, all of Cumberland,
and Emeric Dusic, of Oakland. He was
former resident of Uniontown, to
which city his remains were taken yes
terday after being prepared for burial
at the Bolden Undertaking establish
ment. Funeral services are to be con-
Quoted at Uniontown, Pa, on Friday
morning at nine o'clock at st. Mary's
