Relief Board Members
Discuss Welfare Needs
Group Decides 1t Will Need
$4,000 Monthly During
Next Quarter

The Garrett County Welfare Board
plans to spend as much money during
the next quarter for all categories of
relief and assistance as has been used
during the past quarter, it was de-
cided at a meeting of the members in
the Welfare office on Monday night.
This means that approximately $751;
600 will be spent monthly during
July, August and September
Mrs. Dorothy Ogburn, executive
secretary, stated the first hour of the
meeting was spent in discussing poll
cies of the agency and in studying the
quarterly estimate of expenditures.
Mrs. Ogburn said the group was much
interested in trying to shape the pro-
gram in a way that would be most
useful to the citizens of the county.
1t is at the regular monthly meetings,
she pointed out, that discussions are
held which determine the general
procedures which the agency will fol-
low during the succeeding months.
1t was necessary~for the Board to
estimate three months in advance the
amount of money needed for all types
of assistance. The financial report
for May showed expenditures as fol-
lows: general public assistance, 49,
067.86; old age assistance, $6,036.42;
aid to dependent children, $3,125.20;
needy blind, $149.80; board of chill
dren, $25606; administration, $1,709.-
80; child welfare service, $81.71; total,
$13, 1864.
The State Department called to the
attention of the local board the abb
sence of any fire protection at the
welfare office and suggested some on
equipment. The local Board made
plans to secure adequate fire protec-
ton for equipment and to maintain it.
The last hour of the meeting was
spent in considering clients appli-
cations for old age assistance and aid
to dependent children. Five persons
were granted the former and nine
families were granted assistance from
aid to dependent children funds, Miss
Ogburn said.

Warden Seeks Boost
In All License Fees
LeCOmpte Says Present Revenue
Not Enough For Game
Fish Program

An increase in the cost of fishing
licenses and changes in hunting per-
mits were recommended by State
Game Warden E. Lee LeCompte on
Monday on grounds present revenues
from these sources were insufficient
to finance the type of wildlife and fish
culture program which Maryland re-
quires.
LeCompte proposed that the cost of
fishing licenses be boosted from 81 to
81, and that issuance of county-resi-
dent hunting licenses be discontinued.
In place of county-resident licenses he
suggested a uniform statewide IL
cense to cost $3.50.
Game department officials said the
changes would give the department
funds to expand it's wildlife restora-
ton, cover restocking and fish propa-
cation program and "do a better job
all around"
LeCompte pointed out that of the
present 81 fee for fishing and county
resident hunting licenses, court clerks
who issue them receive five cents,
leaving ninety-fve cents for the de-
partment. 1t costs thirty-fve cents 4
fish to raise trout, he continued, ad-
ding:
"The angler who secures his creel
limit of ten fish per day, or even dur
ing any one season, has received more
value than the cost of his license, by
far. The same applies to game"
AS an example he cited breakdown
of the departments receipts and ex-
penditures in Allegany, Garrett and
Washington counties, the best hunt
ing and fishing territory in the State.
In 1889 the figures showed the de-
partment spent $26,414 and received
$16,703, deficit of nearly $4,000.
LeCompte emphasized that his de-
partment was a self-sustaining agen-
cy, receiving no State appropriation,
and depending solely for revenue from
the sale of hunting and fishing licenses.

Not Responsive To
The Red Cross Appeal

That Garrett county was not re-
spending to the plea of the American
Red Cross for funds for war sufferers
was evident from the report of the
local treasurer.
Only $40 has been received thus far.
The National Red Cross headquar-
tiers had asked Garrett county to raise
$500 and then a few days later asked
that this amount be doubled, as the
need for money for supplies was ur-
gent.
"When people realize the immediate
need for helping refugees in Belgium,
France, Holland, and other war-torn
countries, they will give money and
support the Red Cross" Mrs. E. q.
Tower, county chairman, said, adding
that she was sure the local contribu-
tions would be much increased within
very brief time.

WELLER REELECTED AS
NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN
Was Named Without Dissenting
Vote At Special Meeting OF
Delegates On Saturday
HAS HAD POST SINCE 1924

At special meeting of Republican
delegates to the National Republican
convention, held at Baltimore last Sat-
urday, o. E. Weller was named for
another four years as national COM
mitteeman, post he has held since
in 1924.
Mr.. Weller was named without dis
senting vote among the delegates,
after a much-heralded fight on Wei
Ter, which started at the State con-
vention last month and petered out.
Maryland's regular Republican Or
ganization, as represented by former
Governor Nice and his aides, is not
perturbed over the establishment in
Baltimore of Presidential headquar-
tiers for Wendell L. Willkie, it has
been stated.
If Thomas E. Dewey, to whom the
Maryland delegation to the Republi-
can national convention is pledged, is
not a sure shot on the first ballot, Nice
headquarters pointed out that the
States sixteen votes will be free TO
go where the leaders choose to send
them. This was the reaction of the Nice
leaders and the former Governor and
Senatorial nominee himself.
At Saturdays meeting the former
Governors forces also had their choice,
Mrs. Lula E. Powell, former police
magistrate, being elected as national
committeeman to succeed Mrs. Will
liam P. Lawson.
The vote for committeewoman found
the delegates divided 10 to 6 for Mrs.
Powell, as opposed to Mrs. Jeanette
Sturmer, of Easton.
Mr.. Weller faced opposition when
the convention delegates met, and Pau!
Robertson, anti-Nice leader, placed an
other delegate, George M. Moffctt, a
Queen Anne's county millionaire, in
nomination for the national committee
post. Mr.. Moffett Immediately with
drew his name and the unanimous vote
for Mr.. Weller was taken.
w. David Tilghman, Jr., chairman
of the Republican State Central Com
mittee, was picked as chairman of the
Maryland delegation to the Philadel-
phia national party powwow. M.
Tilghman was also empowered by a
delegation vote to designate the mem
bers who are to serve on the national
convention committees.
Lawrence NJ. Fraley, Oakland, is one
of the State delegates to the national
convention.
