Springer Resigns Position as
WPA Area Supervisor

Fred W. Springer, WPA supervisor
of this area for the past five years,
has resigned to accept position with
New York engineering firm. No
successor has been appointed.
Springer announced he would be
associated with the J. G. White Engi-
neering Company of New York in a
supervisory capacity in construction
work.
Springer was a resident of Michi-
gan before coming to Frederick with
his family seven years ago. His WPA
district included twelve counties of
western and southern Maryland.
Springer said the WPA program
was gradually being developed into a
national defense project and eventu-
ally would be engaged entirely in ma
ional defense work such as construc-
ton of strategic highways and air
ports. There are now 5000 employed
on WPA. The greatest number in the
past five years was 1900.
Springer had been in this county
upon numerous occasions.

Episcopals Win From
Catholic Five In Extra
Period Game SO To 81
Game Was One of Closest anC
Hardest Fought of Entire
Basketball Season

The Episcopals pulled out of a
tight spot in the church basketball
league here last Thursday night but
required an extra period to do it. The
final score was 80 to sc.
Their Catholic opponents kept even
or just point or two ahead of them
most of the way to give the league
leaders their biggest scare of the
year. 1t was the Catholic team that
gave the Episcopals their only defeat
of the year.
The regular game ended 35 to 35
after the Catholics had led II to Is at
the half and the Episcopals % to 80
at the third quarter. Shortly before
the game ended Nebera, Catholic cap
tain, was banished on personal fouls.
In the extra period Critics of the
Episcopal team was also ruled out on
fouls but R. Wolfe and Stewart scored
goals while the best the Catholics
could muster was one foul goal
This practically gives the Episco-
pals first place for the season and
dropped the Catholics back to tie
with the Methodists, who had won
from the Lutherans in the first game
SO to 81.
CLANCY and Stewart each scored II
points for the Episcopals with A.

Maple Syrup Producers
Preparing F OF Season
Farmers Expect to Open Sugar
Camps This Week, If Weather
Is Favorable

With the approach of warm, sun
shiny days and clear, cold nights,
Garrett county farmers are getting
ready for the annual tapping of sap
from the sugar maple trees, and the
making of sugar and syrup for which
this county has become widely known,
along with other maple sugar pro-
ducing counties.
Farmers have been busy scalding
their "keelers" or sap buckets and
getting their sugar camps in readi-
ness for the season. Several farmers
opened their camps for a short time
in January when the weather was ia
vorable. Tapping will probably get
under way this week in big way if
the weather becomes favorable.
In tapping the trees from two to
five holes are bored. Spouts OF
"spiles" are placed in the holes
through which the sugar water drips
into the "keelers." Tanks mounted on
wagons or sleds are used to collect the
water from the buckets and haul it to
the camp where it is placed in large
watts for boiling. Approximately forty
to fifty gallons of sap are required to
make one gallon of syrup or about
eight pounds of sugar.
The sap is boiled and stirred almost
constantly to prevent scorching. It's
density is also carefully checked and
when the desired density and temper
allure are reached the contents are re-
moved for table syrup while the water
must be boiled longer for sugar.
According to a Grantsville resident
the discovery of maple syrup was by
accident. An Indian squaw forgot the
meat she was boiling in the sweet
water from the maple tree and when
she finally thought of it she found a
thick brown syrup in the kettle which
brought forth such praise from other
members of the tribe that they all be-
gan to copy the process. This was
later passed along to the early white
settlers.
The maple sugar industry provides
an income to farmers at time when
there is nothing else pressing in re-
gard to farm labor Some of the lar
ger trees yield as much as $500 each
year.

Long Range Plans
For New Germany
Under Discussion
Continued Development of This
Recreation Center Is Being
Considered

Immediate and long range plans for
the continued development of New
Germany as an all the year round
recreation center were released yes
terday through the district forester's
office
Immediate plans call for the con-
struction of a 1000 foot long ski tow
on the open slope. Plans are now be-
ing drawn up and construction will
start in the next few months.
A modern rope tow will be installed.
The objective is to make the tow self
supporting on a non-profit basis.
viii Erect Lodge
The department also has definite
plans for the construction of a lodge
to be privately operated on a conces-
sion basis, but this probably will not
be erected this year. The structure
will provide sleeping accommodations
for twenty-five people and will in
clude one large central room which
would serve as a combination dining
room and recreation center.
The building would serve as a ski
lodge in winter, as a summer recrea-
ton center, and also as a hunting and
fishing lodge
Ten cabins will be open at New
Germany this summer.
Long range plans call not only for
the construction of the lodge but also
forty new cabins, including twenty at
New Germany, with hot and cold run
ming water, and twenty more in the
Big Run area. The latter group will
have fireplaces but will not be as
elaborate as the New Germany colony.
In connection with the winter sports
season, it is also planned to erect an
open shelter at the foot of Otto's
slope and two or three shelters on the
ski trails.
One mile of hard surface road has
been constructed. Four more miles re-
main to be hard surfaced. The Mea-
dow mountain road from New Ger
many which connects with Route 219
is already rock base road.
5000 Visitors This Winter
With New Germany's second winter
season rapidly drawing to a close, it
was announced that in the neighbor-
hood of 5000 people have visited the
slopes so far this year
The visitors left an estimated
$4,000 with Garrett county farmers
this season, including $1,000 on the
one weekend of the ski meet. This
figure does not include money spent
by the visitors in Grantsville and
other neighboring towns.
The open ski meet will be held
again next year, probably on Wash
ington's birthday. Plans to hold one
inter-ski club meet will also be made
next season.
