TEACHERS CAR ICEBOUND;
TOWN COUNCIL is BILLED
FrOstburg Authorities Called On
To Settle For Unusual Expense

The City Council Of Frostburg was
called on this week to foot a novel bill.
Miss Elizabeth Workman, teacher in
the Avilton Garrett county, school,
who resides in Frostburg, asked for a
settlement" for her inability to use
her automobile for three weeks dur
ing the month of February.
Miss Workman claimed that her car
was frozen in six inches of ice on her
garage floor late in January and
wasn't extricated until February II.
The ice formed, she said, when water
overfowed after a city main burst.
Miss Workman said she notified au-
thorities of the town. After consider
able delay a crew of WPA workers
went to the garage but were unable to
dislodge the car.
During three weeks her car was a
"frozen asset" and she incurred liza
bilities as we'll as hardships, paying
extra for transportation to and from
school and suffering from the cold
while standing along the National
Highway in this county awaiting
transportation home.
The council asked Miss Workman to
itemize her extra expense in writing
and said the matter would have care
full consideration.

subscribe one dollar a month as well
as undertake the spiritual obligations
of the fellowship.

Winter Still Hanging On

Although March came in like lamb
and there was sunshine most of the
day, winter is still unwilling to loosen
its grip to any great extent.
There was a heavy. sleet in many
parts of the county on Saturday and
Sunday, although Oakland and COM
munity escaped. The ice forming on
utility lines and timber caused some
damage and along the National High
way communications was interrupted
when a number of wires went down.
Mondays rain was followed by snow
on Tuesday, Wednesday and today
with the temperature never falling
much below freezing, but remaining
cold enough to make roads and side
walks slippery and dangerous.

lies and MethOdists to Reach Top

continue to be packed with thrills and
upsets as the season nears its close.
The Methodists in winning and los
ing during the past week first went
into first place and then had to be
content with tie with the Episcopals,
as the latter administered them one OF
the worst defeats in the series.
Each team has two games to play,
and when the teams meet on Thurs
day night win by the Catholics and
Lutherans over the Methodists and
Episcopals, respectively, would put ali
teams even again and cause a playoff
for the championship. Whether or not
this can be done is a question to be de-
cided tonight.

olics defeated the Lutherans in an
eXtra-period battle so to AZ, the regu.
lar game ending 40 to 40. 1t was the
third win for the Catholics over the
LutheranS%ln the nlgIht-cap the Epls-
copals took the measure of the Meth
odists AT to %.
In the first game the Lutherans led
24-21 at the half and in the final per-
iod the lead changed hands several
times. A field goal in the closing sec
onds by McComas of the Catholics,
tied the score, who went on to score
five more field goals in the extra per-
iod
In the Methodist-Episcopal fray the
Episcopals were ahead 1919 at the half
and increased their lead in the last
half. Crane was ousted on personal
fouls in the third period. Several 9TH

foul route. The lineups:

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

In the heart of South America Is
a vast region known as the Gran
Chaco. The name means Great
Wilderness
The Gran Chaco has an area of
more than 100000 square miles. 1t
contains, forests, swamps, grassy
prairies and jungle lands. 1t is a
breeding place for insects. From
time to time, vast swarms of locusts
leave the Gran Chaco and sweep
over Argentina or some other
country.
White men have made trips
through the Gran Chaco, but have
suffered from insect bites and other
troubles. One traveller, Harry
Franck, set down these notes.
For nearly a week the trail led
through dense forest of immense
trees. knew 1t was inhabited by

Many natives have proved friendly
to whites who came for visits.
The Gran Chaco has trees which
are of value for timber and for
cabinet work. Some of the trees
have bark which produces an ex-
cellent kind of tannin, and this is
exported for use in tanning leather.
The Gran Chaco is owned by

Don't Take NV
Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Despicoble
Adj. Deserving to be despised.

1t is incorrect to accent today's
word on the second syllable, as
"des-PIC-a-ble," although, I must
confess, this mispronunciation makes
a stronger and more cutting epithet,
especially when it is hurled defiant
ly from the lips of countless be-
leaguered heroines of the daytime
radio serials: Il hate zoe! Yaw'r
perfectly des-PIC-a-ble!"
1t is not generally known that
the word DESPISABLE is entirely
correct. OF the two, despisable ap-
pears to me to be the better and
stronger word. Despisable means
"despicable"; despicable means de
spisable."
Despicable should be accented on
the first syllable only; despisable is
accented on the second syllable.
Correct pronunciations: DES-pik-
uh- -dee-SPYZ-uh-bl.
Capitals indicate syllables to be
accented.
