MAY NOT Be HALLOWEEN
CELEBRATION THIS YEAR
Fire Department Decides Not To
Go Ahead With Any Plans

Unless some organization decides to
sponsor the affair, there will be no
Halloween celebration in Oakland this
year.
At recent meeting of the Oakland
Fire Department, which has usually
sponsored the event, it was decided not
to go ahead with any plans.
The Halloween celebration has
been an annual attraction for quite
a number of years. In 1888 there were
no special plans and no prizes and
very few participated, but last year
the Fire Department again sponsored
it and solicited merchants for a num-
Der of prizes which were distributed
following the parade.
These celebrations in past years
have always been arranged to furnish
an outlet for the young people and
it's effectiveness has been noted each
year. There hasn't been much "dev-
ilment" since the celebrations began.
The only entertainment arranged
at present for the Halloween period is
a dance by the Democratic club and
this will be on Wednesday, October
80, the night before Halloween.

Aurora, w. Va, was damaged by fire
to the extent of about $4,000 early
last Saturday morning. The blaze
started in the boiler room and spread
to other parts of the mill before 1t
was eXtinguished.
The Oakland Fire Department was
called and assisted in preventing the
fire from spreading. The machinery
was slightly damaged but quite a bit
of repairs will be necessary to the
building before operations can be re-
sumed Mrs. Bland, who was in Oak
land on Monday, expressed her CRATE
fulness to the Oakland fremen for
their work.
This is the second fire to occur in
the mill there, it having been entirely
destroyed by fire few years ago.

Hunters Are Urged
To Be Very Careful

Don't shoot a CCC man instead of a
squirrel. This was the substance of a
warning issued by E. Lee LeCompte,
State Game Warden, to Maryland
hunters.
Mr.. LeCompte appealed to hunters
not to hunt within Eat least one-half
mile Of any CCC camp or work pro-
ject or where men are at work either
on the road or in the forests"
Hunters cooperation also is needed
to prevent the cred menace" of fire,
the game warden added, urging pre-
cautions against starting blazes thru
matches or camp fires.
Season Opens November /
The hunting season opens in Garrett
county on November /, when the fol-
lowing may be bagged
Squirrel, November l to Novem-
Der 30, inclusive
Male English ring-neck, Mongolian
or Melanistic Mutant pheasant of any
other imported species, ruffed grouse,
rabbit or hare, wild turkey, cartridges
(quaiD, November 1 to November 80
Not lawful to kill female pheasant at
any time.
Male deer, with two or more points

ginning first Monday in December.
The bag limits include: Rabbit, 6;
squirrels, 6; pheasant, ruffed grouse,
2, not over six per season; turkey, /,
not over four per season; deer, 1 per
season.
Ask Season Extension
Allegany and Garrett county sports
men in a recent meeting, passed a res
olution calling for a squirrel hunting
season from September Is to October
IS, and rabbit season November l to
December 81. The resolution was
adopted by $50 hunters and was
backed with petition signed by 500
persons. Hunters felt there was dis
elimination against Garrett and Allie
gany counties as the laws in Wash
ington county gave hunters there more
time to hunt.
They objected also to the 1928 State
license necessary if hunters were to
gun in both counties. Some urged abo-
lition of the $1.25 county license and
reduction of the State license to the
sum of $3.50.

AGENCIES MOVE TO AID
JOBLESS IN Mine AREA
About 800 Men Have Been Out
OF Work Since Shutdown Of
Two Mines In County

Public welfare agencies here are CO.
operating in an effort to furnish tenn
porary employment for 300 or more

men had been dependent entirely upon
their unemployment compensation
checks and that the limit of time had
already been reached for some and
others would reach the time limit next
week. ,-
Since the first of October, Mrs. Og-
burn said, fifty of the men had applied
for work or relief and that forty more
were expected today and at least a
hundred are anticipated as applicants
next week.
The Welfare Board has no funds for
direct relief, she said, and has been
referring the employables "to the
WPA as fast as they are received"
Meanwhile WPA officials said they
were making every effort to push pro-
jects on which men could be employed
G. Blaine Giessman and Cheston H.
Browning, County Commissioners,
conferred yesterday seeking to draft
sufficient projects to give this group
employment.
WPA officials said they were work
ing with the State Roads Commits
sion to set up project for a parking
area along the highway on Backbone
Mountain, from which motorists could
view the mountain and Deep Greek
Lake.
Mrs. Ogburn said "many of the
miners had tried to find work, but few
had been successful" She said the men
had been orderly and had made no I'M
reasonable demands or requests of the
board.

Anyhow, Scarlet was in love with
Ashley Wilkes, who was in love with
his cousin, Melanie, who was in love
with Ashley, and so they married
