FLREMEN PLAN
FOR CELEBRATION
JULY lST TO 9Th
Sam Lawrence Greater Shows
Secured For Return Engage
ment With New Rides-ShOws
BIG PARADE ON FOURTH

Plans for the fremen's jubilee, to
be held in Oakland July l through
July 6, are continuing with prospects
for one Of the largest celebrations in
history of such affairs, it was an
nounced following meeting of COM
mittees held during the week.
The Sam Lawrence Greater Shows,
Inc, have been secured for a return
engagement with new rides, shows
and some sensational free acts. They
will be here through the entire week
and will be located on the old Glades
Hotel grounds, opposite the Manhat-
tan Hotel, being the same spot oc-
cupied last year.
Emory Bolden, general chairman
of the committee, announced that the
parade, to be held on Thursday, July
L. would be one of the best, as replies
had already been received from a
number of fire companies in surround
ing communities stating that their
members and equipment would be in
Oakland on that day. Mr.. Bolden also
said that the Queen Sylvia Band of
Elkins, West Va, would attend and
negotiations were under way to secure
the presence of the 70-piece drum and
bugle corps of Sharpsburg, Pa. The
Oakland band will also be in the pa
rade and probably also the drum and
bugle corps from the Meadow Noun
tain CCC camp. Mickey's Loeb Lynn
band will go to Accident to play for a
picnic there.
There will be a first prize of $4,000
and a second prize of $4,000 among
fire companies and probably other
awards.
Then general committee is composed
of Emroy Bolden, chairman; Lawrence
M. Fraley and Edward A. Shaffer.

Mountain Top Plans
For Busy Season
Number OF Activities Scheduled
at Park, Oakland, Deep Creek

Garrett county and the mountain
top, in spite of war scares, abundance
of rainfall and other matters, appears
to be in for a fairly busy summer
with activities scheduled at Mountain
Lake Park, Deep Greek Lake and Oak
land.
The usual hot weather, which will
arrive latter on, is bound to cooperate
in sending hundreds of week-enders
and summer visitors to this area to
enjoy it's invigorating climate, while
Garrett county's natural scenery will
attract many others.
The first drawing card is the fire
mems jubilee, week of July to G.,
with the mammoth parade on Thurs
day, July 4, that is calculated to bring
hundreds of fremen from the tri-town
area and many others to take part in
the celebration.
Several programs are scheduled for
Mountain Lake Park. From June rs
to July 7 will be held the annual Noun
tain Lake Park Camp meeting, with
sessions every morning, afternoon and
night. Shortly after it closes the
Summer School of Missions will open
at the Park and will be the attraction
from July 10 through July 16. Many
interested in missionary work and
in all branches of Christian endeavor
will be in attendagee,
The Mountain Choir Festival is be-
ing held this year July 27 and July rs
at the Park, which brings choirs here
from the tri-state area and music low
ers from the entire region hereabouts.
The annual bathing beauty contest
and boat races will be held on Deep
Greek Lake, Sunday, July 81, Sail
boat races are held weekly in the Tur-
key Neck section of the lake.
Camps in this section continue to
draw many visitors.
There is the camp at Thousand

toska and Whitethorn, near Hutton.
Cabins in the Savage River and Po-
tomac forest areas and the new ones
expected to be ready for occupancy
this summer on the Harrington Manor
tract where there is a 55-acre lake,
are expected to draw their share.
Muddy Greek Falls and Swallow
Falls continue to attract thousands OF
visitors throughout the summer. Each
year more and more cottages are be-
ing erected along Deep Greek Lake and
many owners have places for rent,
but there is a constant demand for
cabins for vacationists.
Oakland offers it's municipal golf
course, now in it's third season, as an
attraction calculated to draw many
visitors.
Building activity in Oakland has
brought people to town this summer
in addition to its regular annual Wis
itors. The Oakland postoffice is under
construction and although there is
nothing definite yet on construction OF
the community building and the milk
receiving station, it is expected work
on both these structures will get under
way before long.

Recreation
LET us go back to recreation
again. At McDill field in Tampa,
Florida, the civic clubs said, What
can we do for the soldiers?' So I
told them, Have a place down
town, with free toilet facilities and
free telephones. The se'Ters can't
hang around the hotels and use
the pay toilets a n d telephones.
There are times when they have
only a dime or Is cents in their
pockets. If at a beer joint they
can use the toilet and the telephone
free when they have only 10 cents,
they will go back there again when
they have $50. The place down.
town should be pleasant and cozY,
perhaps a small building with Gre
tonne curtains at the windows. 1t
should have telephones, lavatories,
and toilets. It should be a place
where they can arrive. Buses
should 60 by it and drop them off.
The last bus at night should go by
there and pick them up 1
"As soon as l mentioned that to
the people Of Tampa, everyone had
a building they wanted to rent, or
they wanted it on this side or
that side of town, Or they wanted
it used for other purposes. Some
nights the soldiers would find an
exhibition going on there, or some
thing else. Now, the soldier is a
Iunny man. AS soon. as hes IN

Holly Ridge has been dedicated
as an army project. . You might
ask what is an army. An army
is defined in the dictionary as a
large body of armed men, organ
lzed for war on land. Therefore
an army consists of two things
men and arms.
Arms Change
AS the world goes on, arms
change. There are different rifles
and guns. . but men change slowly
80 whatever inherent traits there
nave been for the past 100 years,
