FOLK MUSIC FESTIVAL AT
PARK IS COLORFUL AFFAIR
Many Take Part-QuiIt Display
Is Big Feature of Event

Over a hundred boys and girls, and
older men and women participated in
a program of folk music and art last
Saturday afternoon and evening at the
Bashford amphitheatre, Mt. Lake
Park, under the direction of Miss Sara
B. Huff, while a fair-sized audience
looked on to discover that folk music
was not "moutain music" but some
thing vastly different.
There was square dancing and a
contest of mountain music, but in
addition there were folk dances of
foreign countries portrayed by Oak
land Elementary students, picturized
songs, and dramatization of poems
and music in which many took part.
A feature of the program was a
quilt display which attracted many
entries and many beautiful designs,
according to Miss Huff. Awards in this
display included Mrs. Jamie Elliott,
IIOCuCGSu3 NILS. " w. MCluJyIG, Oh
Shallmar, appliqued; Mrs. Della Moo
nav, Mt. Lake, crazy quilt; Mrs. C.
W. Burk, Mt. Lake, lone star; Mrs.
Carrie Wingield, Swanton, double

oldest quilt. A number Of others were
given special mention.
Special recognition was given to the
youngest and oldest participant, they
being John Faber Hanst, aged 4, and
DR.. John G. Robinson, both of Oak
land.
Miss Huff stated she was delighted
with the cooperation of the many who
participated. Already she is making
plans for an agricultural day, to be
held in the amphitheatre about the
middle of August.

annual two weeks outing.
The camp will be in charge of Ber-

Troop Committee will also spend
several nights in camp.
Herman F. Schell, of Gormania, W.
Va, has been secured this year as
camp cook.
Camping conditions will be much
improved this year over previous
years, as a combined kitchen and din
ing room has been constructed and a
floor placed in the sleeping quarters.
This was made possible by donations
of citizens, about $500 having been
raised for this purpose.
During their two weeks stay the
scouts will concentrate upon learning
their requirements for passing tests
and merit badges and also have ample
time for recreation. The camp is To-
Gated in the Paradise Heights section
of the lake, about 81 miles from Sand
Flat, and the address of the camp is
Deer Park.
At a meeting of the Court of Hon
or held Monday evening the following
scouts were awarded merit badges as
follows: Robert Stevenson, public
health; Linn Grant, first aid to ami
mails, first aid, physical development;

SAVAGE DAM is ASSURED
AGAIN AFTER CONFERENCE
Action In Washington All That
Is Needed FOr"GO Ahead" Signal

Assurances of approval of the
Savage river dam project have been
given by William D. Byron, Congress
sional representative from this dis
trict.
A newspaper dispatch from Wash
ngton on Monday quoted Mr.. Byron
as declaring after a conference with
President Roosevelt that he had as
surances of approval for construction
of the $2,800,00O impounding dam by
the Works Progress Administration.
Final approval of the project has been
pending for several weeks. 1t has
already been approved by F. w.
Springer, Frederick, area representa-
tive of WPA, and it is understood that
the Budget Bureau has also placed its
stamp of approval on it. Repeated
assurances have been received in Cum
berland from time to time that the
project would go through.
Action in Washington is all that is
needed for the ego ahead" signal on
the dam which will give employment
to nearly 1000 jobless and on its COM
pletion furnish an adequate water sup

Approximately two thirds of the
cost is to be borne by the federal gov
eminent, that portion representing
labor costs. Allegany county, which
has approved 100000 bond issue
to pay its share of the cost, is to sup
ply the supervision, supplies and
material. The project is scheduled TO
be completed within thirty-fve months
after work begins.

Karakul Sheep Raising
Of Questionable Wisdom

Stockmen interested in raising
karakul sheep should compare the
karakul industry with the regular
sheep industry before making their
investment, says Con S. Maddox,
Washington State college extension
animal husbandman.
One of the best ways to learn
about the industry is to visit farm
ers who have been in the business
for at least four or five years and
find from them the prices they re-
ceive for lamb pelts, the clip from
ewes, the percentage of lambs pro-
duced by the karakul as compared
to farm focks of sheep, the price
of breeding stock, and the prices
received for mutton lambs.
Some southern Idaho breeders are
reported to be saving their karakul
lambs for marketing just as they
would regular mutton lambs, instead
of marketing the pelts. Those wish
ing to obtain breeding stock could
probably buy these lambs at fat
lamb prices.
Because of it's limited use, karakul
wool usually sells for one-haf to
three-fourths the price paid for good
quality wool, according to research
done by the United States depart
ment of agriculture.

increasing number-it can be used to
safely store the meat until sold or
consumed.
Farms equipped with a milk cooler
of sufficient size-especially if it is
of the walk-in type-also have at hand
a source of air-conditioned refrigera-
ton which provides ample storage
space for all family needs and, fire.
quently, for some marketable sur
pIuses as well. If such cooler is not
available, or if larger capacity is re-
quired, a cold-storage cabinet can be
purchased ready made, built to order
at the factory or constructed on the
farm with the help of an experienced
carpenter. Naturally, large storage
rooms and buildings must be erected
on the farm, the help of a mason as
we'll as a carpenter being recon-
mended. -
Including the refrigerating unit and
cabinet or room, walk-in cold storage
will cost approximately $500 to $500
per cubic foot of space if built on the
farm and $500 to $500 if purchased
ready made or built to order. At three
cents per kw.-hr, the average power
cost throughout the year for such
units is about $500 per month for each
100 square feet of outside area. How
ever, that may be considerably re-
duced by increasing the thickness of
the insulation and especially careful
management.
