needed coat to walls In offices where
no French hureaucrat would sit
again. They had only started the
Job that morning. They stuck con-
scientiously to- their brushes until
5 p. m, when they decided honor
had been saved.
Propaganda did more than any
thing else to win the war against
France for Hitler, and the radio pro-
grams in French proved the most
effective form of propaganda. Every
one In France listened to the Ger
man stations because everyone be-
lieved--and rightly--that the French
press and radio were not giving the
whole story. The Germans cleverly
mixed truth and fiction in their
hroadcasts. A favorite Nazi trick to
iinnerve the French was TO an
nounce long in advance that q GER
tain village or town was going to be
bombed at such a time. Usually
nothing came Of 1t, but from time
to time the Germans did come over
and bomb exactly on schedule.
BY using old. tanks, even training
tanks, and by sending up obsolete
models Of planes with kid pilots, the
Germans created an impression Of
absolutely overwhelming superiority
French soldiers felt the odds against
them were ten to one, whereas they
were really only about three to one.
One French officer, Gen. de
Gaulle, now rebel in London, gave
the Nazi dose Of their own medi-
cine. He scraped together an i'm
provised armored division, using
trucks protected by -plating,
captured German tanks, training
tanks and even world-war models
dug up in military junk-heaps. With
this division he raided audaciously
deep behind the German lines along
the Meuse.
In England I found the whole
population ready and almost eager
to meet German invasion. Papers,
instead Of telling housewives how to
put up strawberry preserves, give
simple home recipes for dealing with
German tanks when they invade the
lettuce patch. My favorite was the
trick of jumping on top of the tank
and tanning the gun-turret with a
piece Of wood.
Wally Carroll, the UP correspon-
dent in London, told me he has a
lot of difficulty persuading the air.
raid wardens in his apartment build
ing to let him drop in his office
from time to time. One is a retired
admiral and the other a colonel
with an India liver, and they both
think Wally ought to forget about
news and spend all his time prac-
ticing on the emergency foot-pump
in the cellar so he will be thoroughly
familiar with his duties when the
building Is bombed. Wally's impress
sion is that the two old gentlemen
can hardly wait for the day. The
morale In England Is really magni-
ficent. The British people are as
serious about this business as they
would be about fox-hunt. Any fox
can tell you how serious that Is.
Well, it's pleasant to be back on
this side Of the Atlantic ocean, which
Is our Maginot Line. I only
hope We don't start counting on It
the way the French counted on their
Maginot Line.

Garrett County Hit
By Sleet and Snow
Snow Reaches Depth of Four
Observation-Disclosures Are
Dangerous

The entire section of Garrett county
was struck Tuesday by heavy sleet
and snow storm which caused much
discomfort to motorists and pedestri-
ans alike. This moderated into rain
on Wednesday for time which made
streets and highways slushy, and then
colder weather and more snow settled
over the ground, making highways
dangerous.
A number of snow plows were kept
out on the highways on Tuesday and
Wednesday clearing the roads while
men scattered cinders along the
curves to prevent traffic from skid
ding.
The snow and sleet reached a depth
of about four inches and all traffic
was slowed up to prevent wrecks. This
caution, however, did not prevent all
wrecks, for large beer truck from
Thomas, w. Va, upset on Tuesday
evening about two miles north of
town, at the Evans farm. The truck
left the highway and came to halt
down in a field several hundred feet
away. Beer cases were strewn along
the path. Martin Wotring, of Thomas,
and Earl Eichelberger, in the truck,
escaped injury. The truck was enroute
from Pittsburgh and besides a cargo
of beer there were three new show
cases which were entirely demolished.
Trees and utility lines were threat
ened for a time as the ice continued
to mount on the branches and wires,
but melting on Wednesday stopped
this danger in most places. The tenn
perature Tuesday was several degrees
below freezing.
Turning rapidly colder on Wednes-
day, the wind shifted to the west and
brought several inches of snow. The
fall is continuing today with the tenn
perature around Is to 20 degrees.

DEER HUNTING SEASON
WILL OPEN ON MONDAY
Will Remain Open for Five Full
Days AS Hunters Try to Get
Their Quota of One Each
SAID TO BE PLENTIFUL

The 1910 deer season will get under
way on Monday, December 2, with the
usual number of determined hunters
out to get their quota of one buck
each, while the law of averages and
the results of the past few years show
that only one of every twenty will be
successful. The season will end on Fri
day evening, December 6, at shutdown
To date there have been around
2,400 hunting licenses issued from the
office of the clerk Of the Circuit court,
and while all those producing permits
will not hunt deer, it is estimated that
a large number will be out at some
time during the five-day season.
George B. Shields, deputy game
warden here, stated last night that
from all reports deer seemed to be
plentiful in the usual places through
out the county and that the depart
ment was expecting to hear of at
least 125 deer being killed.
The upland game season will end on
November 80, closing the opportunity
to seek rabbits, quail, pheasant, tur-
keys, etc.
Hunters are warned each year to
wear large patches of red on their
hunting caps and backs of their jack
cts, and this year is no exception. The
fashion note never changes here and
the more red the better, wardens say,
to offset the khaki-colored toys which
are similar to the color of a deer.
Every person killing a deer must
within twenty-four hours write to the
State Game Warden, giving name,
address, license number, county and
location where deer was killed, or to
the deputy game wardens in this
county, George B. Shields, 4th street,
telephone $50, and Lloyd Cook, Noun
tain Lake Park, telephone 1911.
Deer must be hunted through the
use of gun propelling one all-lead
or lead-alloy or soft-nosed or expand
ing bullet or ball at single discharge.
1t is unlawful to hunt deer in any
manner except through the method of
still hunting" 1t is unlawful to use
dogs. 1t is unlawful to shoot at a deer
while it is taking refuge in or swim
ming through the waters Of any pond,
lake OF stream.
Mr.. Shields warned last night of a
heavy penalty connected with shoot
ing deer on State Game refuge.

New Organization Is
Formed to Handle All
Orthopedic Work Here
Oakland Civic Club Turns Over
Responsibility After 10 Years

After sponsoring the crippled chill
dren's work in the county for thirteen
years, during which time, especially
in the early days of the project, there
was much work done, the Oakland
Civic club has given over that respon-
sibility to a new committee.
Mrs. w. W. Grant, representing the
Civic club, turned over to DR.. H. R.
DuPuy, health officer, on Monday af-
ternoon, an amount of money totaling
$500 that the club had remaining in
bank.
The money was turned over to the
Garrett County Chapter of National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis,
with DR.. E. l. Baumgartner as chair
man; Delbert NJ. Davis as treasurer;
and DR.. H. R. DuPuy as adviser.
In addition to the $500 turned
over by the Civic club, there was also
an amount of $11688 cleared on pre-
vious dances honoring President
Roosevelts birthday anniversary,
turned over by the Birthday Ball
committee. This money, according to
DR.. DuPuy, will be used in the county
to "fill in the gaps" in assistance to
those needing orthopedic care when
funds are not provided by the federal
or state governments or other agen-
cies.
1t was through the Oakland Civic
club that the first crippled children's
clinic was held here and for several
years the club members were respon-
sible for the payment of expenses of
doctors from Baltimore, for children's
expenses to Baltimore and for all hos
pital bills of patients there, also for
transportation of patients from their
homes to the clinics held in the court
house, and other incidental expenses
of such clinics.
Federal agencies have gradually
taken over the responsibility of ex-
penses for transportation and hospit-
alization, and the local transportation
problems are not what they used to
be, Dr. DuPuy said.
