Young Married Woman
Fatally Shoots Herself
Mrs. Oscar A. Kisner Dies OF
Shotgun Wound At Deer
Park Friday Afternoon

young married woman, Mrs. Os-
car A. Kisner, 27 years old, of Deer
Park, fatally shot herself last Friday
afternoon, December 20, about 1870
O'Clock. She and her husband operated
{ small store and restaurant opposite
the school building in the town and it
was in the kitchen of the structure
where Mrs. Kisner committed the act,
county authorities said, and no motive
for the shooting could be advanced.
According to Sheriff J. w. Owens,
who in company with Corporal Currie,
of the State police, made an investiga-
ton, the unfortunate women made
deliberate preparation for the act. She
laid on the floor of the kitchen, care
fully arranged her clothing, then plac-
ing the barrel of sixteen-gauge shot
gun under her chin, fired the charge
Death evidently ensued Immediately.
The time of the shooting was placed
at about / 80 o'clock, because Mayor
Clarence Rollman and Allen Thinner
man were engaged in doing some
work nearby and heard shot at that
time, but not knowing from whence it
came and thinking it may have been
an automobile backfring, did not in
vestigate.
Mr.. Kisner, VINO had been shopping
in Oakland, arrived at his home about
three o'clock and found the door
locked He unfastened the door, en-
tered and discovered the body of Mrs.
Kisner on the floor. Mr.. Kisner called
TO some neighbors who notified the
sheriff, who in company with Corporal
Currie and DR.. E. |. Baumgartner,
county coroner, Immediately went to
Deer Park. DR.. Baumgartner said the
cause Of death was suicide following
the investigation.
John Kisner, of the Deep Greek
Lake community, who is the foster
father of the young man, declared on
Saturday while in Oakland that the
couple had no financial difficulties and
seemed to be happily married, but
that Mrs. Kisner was "highly ner-
vous type" of person. Nothing in the
way of message from Mrs. Kisner
was found on the body or in the store.
Mrs. Kisner was the former Miss
Edna Brabson, daughter of the late
Harvey Brabson, of Blaine, West Va.
The couple had no children.
Funeral services were conducted
Monday afternoon.

Scouting Is On The Increase

Scout troops in Garrett county are
due for an increase, if present plans
mature.
Raymond c. Lalor, scout executive,
Potomac Council, Cumberland, gave
an informative talk on scouting Sat
urday evening at VindeX, this county,
at meeting of Local 1856, United
Mine Workers Of America
Jack Junkins, president of the local,
invited Lalor to speak to the members
who are planning to sponsor a Boy
Scout troop.
There are forty-three troops in Po-
tomac council, which includes Garrett
county. Joe J. Davis, chairman for
this district, and Harley E. Dawson,
former Eagle scout of Oakland troop,
are working for a scout organization
again in Deer Park. One flourished
there several years ago when Dawson
lived in that neighborhood.
A community group at Mt. Lake
Park is also planning to sponsor a
troop

A GARRETT COUNTY LAD
OF UNUSUAL PROPORTIONS
He Visited Oakland Monday And
Attracted Much Attention

Monday during the noon hour a
fine looking specimen of young man
hood, product of Garrett county,
who was swinging along Second street
intent on doing his Christmas shop
ping attracted the attention of some
business men who were taking life
easy just at that time and various
guesses were made as to the height
of the young man under discussion.
One of the number volunteered to
question the youth and presented him
to the other persons of the company
as John Foley, aged nearly Is years,
and standing feet inches. He stated
that he weighed 1912 pounds and was
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. James c..
Foley, of the Deer Park section of the
county. He was reared on a farm
and at present is engaged in cutting
timber in his home community.
His employer, who was also in Oak
land Monday, said that "John swings
a mean axe, sinking it into the tree
up to the eye at every stroke"
The young man attended Oakland
High school few years ago and was
at that time the tallest boy in the
school.

Upper Potomac River
Commission Is Sued
Garrett County School Teacher
Asks $4,000 Damages AS
Result OF Auto Wreck

Debris left in a road under repair in
the vicinity of the Savage River Dam
was given last Thursday as the cause
of an automobile accident in $4,000
damage suit filed against the Upper
Potomac River Commission in the AL
legany Couny Circuit Court.
The suit was brought by Mrs.
Marion Lohr, Garrett County school
teacher, who asserts the accident &C.
Cured about two weeks prior to the
filing of the suit, when she was driv-
ing along the Bond road, near the
dam.
The plaintiff contends she was in
jured and her car damaged in col
lision with a pile Of mud, dirt and
rocks which had allegedly been depos-
tied in the right of way and left with
out warning signals by road scraper
operated by the defendant commits
sion.
The accident, Mrs, Lohr said, was
unavoidable since the debris in the
road was on a curve and could not be
seen by the driver until she was right
on top of it.
Mrs. Lohr is teacher at the Frank
vile school, east of Swanton, and ac-
cording to school authorities, has had
substitute teacher there since the
accident befel her.

quired for operation of the program
and must supply the foodstuffs which
will be needed in addition to available
surplus commodities for the prepara-
ton of meals. However, those making
a study of these requirements state
that labor for cooking and serving
can be supplied through NYA.
Mr.. Rathbun released list of the
commodities that would be available
for January, with the maximum
monthly ALLEGATION per child indicated
after each commodity: apples, lbs;
bacon, b.; dried beans, p h.; whole
wheat cereal, 1 h.; corn meal, 1 b.;
eggs, storage, l doz.; graham flour,
l h.; wheat flour, 2 lbs; ham, 1 h.;
lard, 1 h.; evaporated milk, cans;
oranges, 5 lbs; peaches, canned,
lbs; potatoes, 5 lbs; prunes, Y h.;
raisins, Y h.; rice, lb.
The pros and cons of Oakland are
discussing particularly the advan-
tages and disadvantages respectively
of instituting the program in the Ele-
mentary school here.
At present there is already school
lunch available for those who are able
to pay from five to fifteen cents each
day, depending on the quantity of
lunch desired. Some bring lunches and
supplement with hot dish, soup, hot
chocolate, and other items which cost
five cents each. The lunch room is
operated by Mrs. Nettie j. Eichelber-
ger and is sponsored by the Parent
Teachers Association. How the distri-
button of free lunches would affect
her business is one of the questions
to be determined.
How one could arrive at degree of
need where free lunches began and
paying pupils left off is another sub
ject of controversy In Cumberland
last Friday from 200 to 230 pupils
were served lunches at Johnson
Heights school with two-thirds Of the
pupils receiving free lunches and the
rest paying for theirs.
Members Of the Mothers club of
Oakland several weeks ago signed a
petition asking that the Oakland Ele-
mentary school make application for
surplus commodities, and presented it
to Mr.. Rathbun.
Coming up for discussion also is the
ultimate effect of character of giving
pupils something for nothing, appa-
rently a New Deal technique, while
on the other hand are those urging
that undernourished children have a
right to the surplus foods when they
are available and are being distrib-
uted just for the asking. And if food
is available, why not feed everybody!
This school lunch question is Great
ing much discussion and some are
looking for action after school recon-
venes after the holidays.

Garrett Farmers to Get
$4,000 From AAA
Approximate Figure Is Given
Out From County Agents
Office

Approximately $4,000 will be dis
tributed to over 100 Garrett county
farmers who participated in the 1910
Agricultural Adjustment program
according to information received
from the office of John H. Carter,
county agent.
The disbursements will be made in
March and April. The amount will be
around the same as last year when
ILL farmers received $38,20761.
Field supervisors in this county are
still checking compliance of farmers
with the program and beginning the
first of the year farmers will be mott
fled to sign the application for re-
endorsement from the AAA. The eX-
act amount of the disbursement will
not be known until all applications
are signed, it was pointed out.

$50 MARYLAND MEN WILL
Be DRAFTED IN JANUARY
Number Is Less Than Officials
Recently Announced; May Ask
European Type OF Draft
NEW PLAN is SUGGESTED

Five hundred and ninety Maryland
men will be indicted into the army
in groups January 10, IA and Is, so
Governor O'Conor was told by Third
Corps area officials that only that
many could be accommodated in the
second draft call.
The Governor had been informed
recently that the January quota had
been increased from 284 to TIC.
Negroes are not included in the
January quota because there are no
facilities as yet for them at army
camps.
Each local draft board will be adj
vised how many men they must supply.
Judging from the proportionate share
in the first draft, Garrett county will
be sending nine OF ten draftees.
Some of the Maryland men may
be sent to Southern camps because
housing facilities in those corps areas
are nearer completion than those in
the Third Corps area.
May Urge New Draft Law
Adoption of the European plan of
calling all young men for military SER
vice as they reach the age Of 81 may
be advocated in the new session Of
Congress with high official endorse
ment.
The system would be a substitute
for the present setup under which re-
cruits are drawn by lot from the group

Stealing Bulbs Just
For Fun, Women Say
Arrest of Two Thought to Have
Brought Theft of Christmas
Bulbs Under Control

Following three arrests for thefts
of colored bulbs from curb Christmas
trees, it is felt by local authorities
that the practice has been pretty well
broken up for this year at least.
Two of those arrested were women,
Bessie Boodai, and Gladys Waybright,
of Detroit, the former daughter of
George Gank, of Hutton.
Mrs. Boodai asserted to B. B. Meth
kin, city police, that it "was all in
fun" but the bailiff took them before
Magistrate C. F. White on a charge
of larceny. Mrs. Boodai again stated
her case before Mr. White, saying,
"The American Legion in Detroit at
the last convention stole everything
out there just for fun and got away
with it,"
"This isn't Detroit" Magistrate
White told her. keep your fingers
off other peoples property in Oak
land OF you'll get in trouble. He then
rendered verdict of guilty and fined
them $500 and costs. Since the sum
total of all money available was $500,
Mr.. White knocked off the costs, even
though he was called from his home
by Mr.. Nethkin to come down town
and try the case.
The first arrest was made more
than a week ago when a young man
from the Swallow Falls CCC camp
was caught removing bulbs. He was
lodged in Jail and later released upon
request from the camp officer.
Officers are keeping sharp look
out for any further thefts, so that the
practice of having curb Christmas
trees may be continued. They were
discontinued for several years and
strings of lights placed across the
streets in the business section, just to
get rid of the temptation of lifting
them "for fun or any other reason"
Several lights have been missing
from a number of trees, including the
one from in front of the Lutheran
church.
Other infractions which have
brought offenders before Magistrate
White lately include the following:

Question of Lunches For Underprivileged
Children Is Discussed by Oakland Citizens
Many Surplus Foods Available From Stae-Some Oakanders
Want School to Take Advantage of Offer-Others
Seemingly Object to Program

The question of school lunches for
underprivileged children in the county
is coming up more and more for dis
cussion among people of Oakland and
other school centers. A number of
citizens are asking for particulars.
What is forcing this question out
into the open to such an extent is
that the State Department of Public
Welfare has made available to the
schools of the state many surplus
food commodities each month and
people who know the conditions in
some of the schools are wondering
why the school authorities are not
taking more advantage of it.
According to bulletin released by
J. Milton Patterson, director of the
State Department of Public Welfare,
any Board of Education having a CEN
trail supervising authority covering a
group of schools within county may
in it's discretion participate in the
plan and get these commodities for
schools within its jurisdiction.
A school to be declared eligible
must be supported from funds derived
from Federal, State or local govern
ment subdivisions, and its principal
must make application through the
school authority Board of Educa-
tom for the surplus commodities and
present evidence of malnutrition or
actual need of pupils.
Already, according to F. E. Rath-
bun, county superintendent, there are
five schools within the county taking
advantage of the offer. These schools
are Kitzmiller, East Vindex, West
Vindex, Wilson and Bloomington.
The bulletin further stipulates that
schools must operate the lunch pro-
gram on a non-proft basis. Any
school serving lunches on contrac-
tual basis, through a concessionaire,
or wherein there is any element of
profit from operations except that
which is re-invested in the operation
of the lunch program, is ineligible to
participate.
The method and manner used in
serving lunches to school children
must not segregate the children in
any way that would indicate distinc-
ton between the paying and the non
paying children.
If necessary to commingle the sur
plus commodities with additional COM
modities supplied by the sponsor, a
charge may be made to the paying
pupils for the portion of the meal
served to them provided that there
has been a proper determination of
the number eligible to receive free
lunches, and that the total of surplus
commodities does not exceed the max
imum amount allowed for eligible
children.
The sponsor is caused to provide
supervision, labor and equipment re-

Prospect For White Christmas
Not Very Bright

The prospects for "White Christ
mas" were not very-bright up to
Tuesday morning.
The shortest day Of the year has
passed The editor of the Grant
County Press, Petersburg, w. Va,
remarked that with it's passing one
is now privileged to dream about
spring, even though winter has not
yet arrived in earnest.
The weather of the past few days
helps along this dream of spring and
present prospects for Christmas are
clear and warm. At this time of year,
however, such a prediction can be
changed in a twinkling.
