CHURCH BASKETBALL OFF
TO GOOD START TUESDAY
Many Attend First Games to See
Catholic And Meth0dists Win

Church League basketball begar
in an suspicious way on Tuesday ev-
ening with thirty-two men anc
young men getting more action and
recreation than they had had for a
long time, many of whom it is safe to
say are feeling it today in stiff joints
and sore muscles.
Leading in the league as the re-
suit Of the first two battles are the
Catholics and the Methodists. The
Catholics defeated the Lutherans 80
10 rs, while the Methodists nosed out
the Episcopals in the closing minutes
of the game % to II, after the Episco-
pals held a 1879 advantage at the
half.
Quite large number of citizens of
the town turned out to witness the
beginning of the League games that
are to continue until March II. Most
of the games are to be played on
Thursday nights, the next games be-
ing scheduled for February 1, when
the Catholics will meet the Methodists
and the Lutherans will battle with
the Episcopals. One or two more
games will be played on Tuesday even
ings throughout the season. Each
team will meet each competitor three
times.
The admission charge of 5 and 10
cents is being made so that money
will not be a reason for keeping any
one away who enjoys basketball and
desires to support his individual
church team. Rev. Minor Sprague,
treasurer of the church league execu-
tive committee, reported receipts of
more than $40 on Tuesday night.

SNOW AND COLD ARE DUE
TO CONTINUE THIS WEEK
Winter Appears to be Approach
ing Severity of One During
1935-1936

Almost continuous snowstorms anC
sub-zero weather have added to the
rigors of winter and hazards of traveI
throughout the past week. Weather
bureaus furthermore do not give much
promise of let-up for several days
yet.
If there is no let-hp soon the winter
of 1939-40 will go down in history
alongside the winter of 1886. 1t is
true that as yet there has been no 20
below zero weather with a high wind
or "a below without any wind, such
as was recorded in 1936-but the
winter is not over yet.
A few of the details thus far this
winter would tend to show that the
climate isn't getting any warmer
For instance:
Yesterday the snow that has covered
Garrett county since before Christmas
got four-inch white top dressing
that forecast the beginning of another
cold spell.
Last Friday morning the thermome-
ter at Weber's registered IL below
zero, and the highest reading of the
Gay was one above at o'clock D. m.
That same day it was 10 below on Big
Savage, east of Grantsville, and at
various places reports were to the
effect that the mercury dropped to 16
and 20 below, but these were not off
cial. There had been from Z to 10
inches of snow the day previous. Fri
day was clear and windy. On Satur-
day morning the mercury had dropped
to 7 below again and it continued
blustry all day and also on Sunday.
1t cleared Monday enough to give
hopes Of a thaw but on Tuesday a
light snow arrived on the "wings" of
an east wind Shifting toward the
west Wednesday two more inches of
new snow arrived and cold wind kept
the thermometer in the low twenties.
The high wind has completely
blocked number of rural roads by
high drifts, while the state highways
are open. One way traffic is in effect
on the Sand Flat-Deer Park road
where drifts are about ten feet high.
School buses, however, have con-
tinued to bring students to Oakland
High and Elementary schools. In the
Grantsville section, however, several
of the buses have not been able to
cover their routes.
The wind also has been so penetrat-
ing that water pipes and drains of a
number of residents of the county
have been frozen, causing no end of
inconvenience.
And the end is not yet, if we are to
take seriously the daily weather fore
casts.
The mercury took another sudden
drop last night after a near-blizzard
had prevailed during the afternoon
and evening. Four degrees above zero
was registered at Weber's and the
official snowfall recorded was three
inches.
The high wind prevailing all day
yesterday caused the snow to drift
and kept State road workers busy
throughout the night in keeping U. S.
PIG open for traffic.

Confluence And Oakland Railway
Would Abandon 20-Mile Line

The Confluence and Oakland Rail
way Company filed a petition with In
terstate Commerce Commission one
DAY last week for authority to aban-
don approximately twenty miles of
line between Oakland Junction, Pa,
and Kendall, in Garrett county, Md.
The road is now operated by the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company.
The petition to the commission said
that its line would be flooded by the
backwater from flood control dam to
be built three miles above Confluence,
Pa, on the Youghiogheny River, and
a 100000 cost to relocate the line
would not be justified.

TOWN PURCHASES HELBIG
PROPERTY FOR PARK SITE
Will Build Community House
There; Place Will Provide For
All RecreatiOnal Needs
OTHERS MAKE PROPOSALS

The Mayor and City Council
took definite action last night
that not only insured the cree
tion of a community building but
laid the foundation for provid-
ing the town with a community
park, the children of the COM
munity a place for all kinds of
recreational activities, and a
guarantee of the towns future
progress along civic lines.
At the meeting resolution was
unanimously adopted to purchase the
Harry Helbig property at the north
edge of town, which consists of Is
acres of land, along with the dwelling
house and outbuildings, for the sum
of $4,000.
This property was one of five Of
fered by residents of Oakland for the
proposed site for the community
building, for which the citizens voted
bond issue last February almost
three to one.
In the purchase of the Helbig prop
erty the town is assured not only of
the community building but swim
ming pool in summer in the waters
of Wilson Greek along with adequate
playground space, a skating, skiing
and shedding place in winter, besides
inside recreational facilities through
out the entire year.
Prices for other sites were sub
mitted as follows:
John.J, Sweeney, lot 40 by 165 feet
or Third street, $3,400.
Ed. Wallace, 21a acres, north edge
of Oakland, $500.
Mrs. C. D. Bosley, lots 10, 20 and Fl,
Oak street, 1872 by 2471a feet, $4,000.
White Brothers, block between
Third and Fourth streets, north
Cr5ok street, $4,000, plus town lots
in rear of their garage.
1t was pointed out by members of
Council that a dam on Wilson Creek
would also serve as flood control fer
the downtown business area, and that
it would be possible to obtain grant
from the Federal Government for
food control construction.
By vote of the citizens last February
the town was empowered to issue
bonds in the sum of $4,000 as the
towns share of the $4,000 building
which would be constructed by WPA
labor. The money for the property
purchased would come from this APP
preparation, but it was also pointed
out that the Federal Government
would allow at least half of this sum
in materials, etc, which the town
otherwise would have had to furnish.
Nothing definite has been worked
out as to the exact location on the
property for the building, but it was
thought that it would be built east
of the driveway where the slope of the
hill begins, which would lessen exca-
walton costs and preserve the grove
that fronts on the State highway and
the Deer Park-Broadford road.
Every member of Council and Mayor
L. M. Fraley who were present at the
meeting last night, voted for the res
olution to buy the property at the
stipulated price. They were Council
men Henry w. McComas, DR.. E. l.
Baumgartner, R. D. Houck, Delbert
M. Davis and Earl Shartzer. Emroy
Bolden, another member of Council,
is in Florida. The resolution to pur-
chase the property was introduced by
Councilman Houck.
