tons; Thomas j. Pancic, who

without complaint of the regular

LOCAL WELFARE BOARD is
MANAGING DIRECT RELIEF
Has Been In Hands of Commits
sioners Since April, 1897

All direct relief, heretofore ad-
ministered by the County Commission
ers since April, 1887, has been turned
back to the Welfare Board, it was de-
cided at their meeting this week.
This order was to take effect i'm
mediately and according to Miss Ethel
Miller, executive secretary of the
County Welfare Board, the Commits
sioners have agreed to expend $4,000
monthly for general public assistance.
An order was signed giving this
amount each month for three months.
Miss Miller said there were about
$50 cases coming under this section
of relief. The Welfare Board has had
charge of old-age pensions, aid to de-
pendent children, and aid to the needy
blind. All direct relief, therefore, will
now be handled by the Welfare Board,
for at least three months, and it is
understood commodity distribution is
being started again.
The County Commissioners also an
nounced this week the appointment of
Roy Sewers, Kitzmiller, and Harry
limbaugh, Oakland, as constables
At the conclusion of their last meeting
they appointed Julius c. Renninger as
attorney to the Board.

PARTY ENJOYS WINTER
SPORTS IN THIS COUNTY
State Forester Was Guide To
Baltimore Group In Forest
RecreatiOnal Areas

The possibility of developing Gar
rett county as an ideal place for winter
sports for Marylanders was demon
strated in recent days by State Fores-
ter F. W. Besley when he conducted a
group of Baltimore business and pro
fessional men to Oakland and vicinity
for several days visit over New
Years.
The party was quartered in log
cabins erected by the Forestry De-
partment, and the group was taken
daily on skiing trips and enjoyed skat-
ing excursions on the New Germany
lake, which is frozen over.
The party also visited the Swal-
low Falls, Deep Creek Lake area and
the site of the proposed fifty-acre
fishing, bathing and skating lake on
the Harrington Manor project.
In the Potomac Forest and Savage
River section excellent ski trails were
shown as we'll as sites for toboggan
and sled runs in the New Germany
and Big Run developments.
Great Opportunities Seen
Work of the Forestry department
in opening camping and recreational
areas was inspected by the group, and
several expressed amazement that
more Maryland people had not taken
advantage of the opportunity 1t
offered for skiing, shedding, and skat-
ing.
1t is expected that another group
will be organized later, coming by
train from Baltimore to Piedmont and
then going to camp Bond by truck.
Several visitors stated they wished
to return to Garrett county during the
maple sugar season, and that they also
intended to return in the summer on
camping tours in the forests, rather
than going to Maine.

TWO ARE CHARGED WITH
BURNING WESTLAKE HOME
Frank Westlake and Woodrow
Baker Jailed Last Night by
Officers-HOme Burned in
September, 1897

Frank Westlake aged II years
and Woodrow Baker aged 10, son
of John Baker, Oakland, are in
the county jail on a charge of
alleged arson in connection with
the burning of Westlake's home
in East Oakland on the night of
September "a, 1887.
At the time of the fire it was
feared that Westlake had been
trapped in the building but he
made his appearance in Oakland
on Sunday morning following
the fire and stated that he had
been in New Philadelphia, O.,
visiting a sister.
The house was insured for
$4,000 and the furniture was
covered by insurance to the ex-
tent of $1,000.
The States Attorney, Neil C.
Fraley, and Sheriffs Owens and
Spear have been working on the
case ever since the fire.

OVER HUNDRED LICENSES
ARE ISSUED IN DECEMBER
New Law Cut Down Number;
1888, However, Was Biggest
Year on Record

Although the new marriage law re-
curing a waiting period Of As hours
between time of application and grant
ing of the license cut down on the
number to some extent, a glance at
the records for December shows Ill
marriage licenses issued.
This made a total of 2287 for the
entire year as compared with 1928
issued in 1887. Prior to 1885 the num-
Der of licenses reached about 1,4OO,
but that was before other states be-
gan to restrict the issuance of licenses.
From the standpoint of revenue
there is expected to be about $50 per
month less received at the clerks
office on account of the new law. The
decrease is lessened somewhat by the
necessity of paying one dollar for the
application, and then $500 when the
application is granted. This makes
az 90 for marriage license in place
of $500 prior to the new law There
were "a applications for licenses
after December 8, when the license
law went into effect.
Five months during 1888 had more
than 200 licenses issued, April, June,
August, September and October. More
than half the couples were from West
VIRGINIA, with Pennsylvania running
second.

TWO FRIENDSVILLE GIRLS
RUN AWAY BUT ARE FOUND
Were In Hands of Cumberland
Police When Sheriff Owens Calls

Two young Friendsville girls, who
said they went to Cumberland to seek
work, ran right into the arms of the
city police there and are now back at
their homes following a brief search
by their parents.
The girls, Dorothy Bishop, IA, and
Pauline Hinebaugh, 16, were appre-
hended shortly before ten o'clock on
Tuesday evening after running away
from the Salvation Army Citadel in
Cumberland when Brigadier B. L..
Phillipson questioned them.
They had asked for nights lodg-
ing, claiming to be from Frostburg.
They were going to seek work in the
morning, they said. When Brigadier
Phillipson sought more information,
indicating he suspected they were run
Always, they fed-into the arms of the
officers. He had called police immedi-
ately and the girls had gone less than
a block when caught.
They told police they were from
Frostburg too, and gave what police
said were fictitious names until a call
came from Sheriff J. w. Owens, in
Oakland, when they told the whole
story. The girls parents had been
seeking them in Oakland on Tuesday.
They were seen by an acquaintance
during the day on Third street here.
They ran away Monday morning
after ostensibly starting for school.
They said they stayed at hotel in
Oakland Monday night, the clerk Civ
ing them lodging despite their lack of
funds. Sheriff Owens went to Cumber-
land for them Tuesday night.

TWO GROUPS ARE SPLIT
ON CONSERVATION PLANS
Western Maryland Association
Sticks To Approval of ''Model
Game Law" Secretary Says
LOCAL CLUBS NEUTRAL

J. Wesley Kelley, executive secre-
tary of the Western Maryland Out
door Life Federation, is taking eX-
ception and disappearing the conser-
walton legislation sponsored by the
Maryland Outdoor Life Federation,
and indicated Friday evening at the
meeting of the Oakland Rotary Club
that his group would stand "pat on a
model game law"
The latter Federation's plan for re-
vamping the conservation department
was endorsed recently by the Tri-
State Seafood Association at meet
ing in Cambridge. Eastern Shore in
terests were well represented at that
gathering.
The Western Maryland Federation
has disagreed with phases of the pro
posed legislation. Mr.. Kelley writes:
Insofar as the bay is concerned, my
people are adamant. They want COM
plete and absolute separation of game
and above tidewater fisheries from
tidewater fisheries.
"In this they are not without re-
gard for the watermen Of the bay. In
fact, we invite the watermen to pro-
duce a bill similar to ours to provide
for the administration of tldewater
fisheries, as we have attempted to pro-
vide for game and angling.
'The problem of coordinating two
such departments would be one Of ad-
ministration, being no more difficult
than others confronting the Governor"
Kelley said forty clubs in Western
MARYLAND had definitely set their seals
of approval on the model game law,
A number of clubs in Garrett county
have not committed themselves to
either plan.
A bill embodying the plans OF the
Maryland Outdoor Life Federation
calls for reorganization of the con-
servation department to provide seven
no-salaried members appointed by the
Governor for period Of seven years.

partment would deal with problems re-

Government To Give $2,664 More
To Apply On Two Buildings

A resolution was formally passed by
the Board of Education of Garrett
county at it's meeting last Friday ac-
cepting the superseding offer as made
by the Federal Emergency Admins
tration of Public Works, the offer car
rying an additional grant of 1864 as
part payment upon the additions and
alterations to the Oakland Elementary
and Kitzmiller High school buildings.
Work upon the two buildings has al
ready begun, F. E. Rathbun, County
Superintendent of Education, stated,
with the completion date of both build
ings being set at July 81, 1889, with
as many additional days added as the
weather in the meantime makes it i'm
possible for the work to be carried on.
Present at the School Board meeting
Friday were Walter w. Dawson, presi-
dent; Walter w. Savage, vice-presi-
dent, and Mr.. Rathbun.
The board also gave further consid-
Grafton to the matter of closing the
Shook Shop one-teacher school. Su-
perintendent Rathbun said there was a
small number of pupils enrolled. The
school is located on the Loeb Lynn
German road, about four miles east
of Loeb Lynn and the pupils of the
Shook Shop school would be trans
ported to the Loeb Lynn school.
Mr.. Rathbun said newly construct
ed piece of road over part of the route
to the school had not yet been accepted
by the State and formally opened to
traffic, which had delayed the closing
of the school.
