FUNERAL OF THE LATE C..
w. REAM HELD ON FRIDAY
Services at Crellin Were Largely
Attended By Friends

Funeral services for the late Charles
w. Ream, president of the Stanley
Coal Company at Crellin, and of the
Garrett National Bank in Oakland,
were conducted at the Union church in
Crellin last Friday afternoon, at which
more than thousand persons from all
walks of life were present to pay last
tribute to the memory of the departed.
The services in the church were in
charge of the pastor, Rev. E. A. Critics,
of Loeb Lynn Heights U. B. church,
and Rev. DR.. Ray Shaffef, of Clarks-
burg, West Va, addressed the as
semblage, using as his text a passage
from the Gospel of st. James.
Flowers in profusion were banked
along the walls Of the church and filled
almost to capacity the platform back
of the altar rail- Several hymns were
sung by the church choir and the ben
ediction was pronounced.
The body was brought to Oakland
and inferred in the family burial plot
where the final rites were in charge of
members of the Knights of Pythias,
Mr.. Ream having been member of
the organization for many years.

THAT MANS IN AGAIN!

That mysterious prominent bust
neesman" who always hobs up so OPP
portunely either to pat the New Deal
on the back or, if in critical mood, to
beat a hasty retreat before the Presi-
dents logic, is in again.
Who he is or where he comes from
is just as much of a mystery as the
farm on which the President breeds
those white rabbits which live in high
hats.
He's the same fellow, you may re-
member, who suddenly turned up to
assure the President that businessmen
who were expressing fear of a national
debt of more than $40,O00,000, SIM
ply didn't know what they were talk
ing about and that an $80,000,000,0
debt would be a mere drop in the
bucket.
He's the same chap who told the
President to pay no attention to COM
plants about the New Deals taxing
policies because neither the taxing
method in or the tax burden had any
bearing upon business recovery.
He's the same businessman who
had no answer last spring when the
President pulled out the budget and
asked him where he would begin to
cut it.
Now he pops up at just the right
time for the President with the news
that the Senate's refusal to consider
neutrality legislation has killed a
mice little BOOM"
This time it was the President who
had no answer although there was one
ready -at-hand in rising business in
dices and soaring prices on the secur-
tiles exchanges.
1t was left to Senator Vandenberg
to answer: "What boom? The third
term boom?"

ing number Of Marylanders know
this, and it is but matter of time
before the State has such an act.
Until such an act is on the books,
there is a point the people of Garrett
and Allegany counties might we'll bear
in mind. Maryland would now have a
fireworks ban except for the votes Of
fifteen Senators at the last session Of
the Legislature. One of these votes
was cast by Mr.. Clifford Friend, Of
Garrett county, and another by Mr..
Robert B. Kimble, of Allegany county.
If either of these two Senators had
supported, instead of opposed, a bill
sponsored by the Maryland Society for
the Prevention of Blindness, there
would have been no need for anti
fireworks ordinances in Oakland and
Cumberland.
