BY GRAND JURY
Investigating Body Completes
Its Work After Three-day
SessiOn-Thirty-eight Ex-
amined

The September Term Grand Jury

afternoon following a three-day ses-
sion. Thirty -eight witnesses were ex-
amined and twenty indictments were
returned.
The session was termed Every quiet"
by States Attorney Neil C. Fraley.
with nothing of much consequence
Transporting. Indictments were returned
for arson and forgery, against alleged
traversers who have been in the GUS
tody of the State for several months.
Other indictments were for the usual
violations, he said.
The complete report of the jury fol-
lows:
To the Honorable, the Judges of the
Circuit Court for Garrett County,
Maryland:
The Grand Jury for the September
Term, 1941, respectfully submits the
following report:
Pursuant to the instructions con-
lclIlNQ III illt Nllcli &c VI Ills lIOlIOI
Judge Hustler, we have given careful
consideration to all alleged viola
tions of the criminal laws brought to
our attention and in the course of our
investigation we have had before US
and taken the testimony of thirty
eight witnesses and returned twenty
indictments.
We have made an inspection of the
County Jail, Sheriff's residence and
the Court House and the offices of the
various county officials. We have
found the public buildings in good
condition generally, but we would re
specially recommend that the follow
ing repairs and improvements be
made:
We find that the windows in the
Jail need attention; the sheriff is still
in need of a garage to house two au-
tomobiles and we are of the opinion
that a suitable garage could be pro-
vided in the basement of the Jail;
the kitchen in the Jail is badly in need
of painting. We especially recon-
mend that a permanent covering be
placed over the open well near the
side entrance to the Court House, as
we believe the present covering is
unsafe and dangerous. The window
sash in the rear of the Court House
should be repainted The office of the
Clerk of the Court is in need of paint
ing and the front steps and walk lead
ing to the Court House is in need of
repairs.
In our investigation Of the office of
the County Commissioners we have
found that disbursements have been
made without proper supporting
vouchers, and we would recommend to
the Commissioners that no disburse-
ment be made without a proper sup
porting voucher.
We have inspected the offices of the
various public officials of the county
in the Court House and find them to be
well kept and in satisfactory condi-
ton.
We believe the officers of the county
are performing their duty in the en-
forcement of the law and we desire to
thank the States Attorney for his CO.
operation and assistance given us
during our deliberations.
We extend our thanks to His Honor
Judge Hustler for his assistance and
cooperation.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted.

September Weather
Comes Close Record
For Sustained Heat

September weather became a close
competitor for shot" honors with the
temperature reaching 80 on Tuesday
and with eight of the first ten days
of the month reaching 80 or better.
A thunder shower yesterday after
noon, however, brought an end to any
sustained heat wave and placed the
mercury at the 40 mark this morn
ing Prior to the storm, however, the
thermometer had climbed to IS de-
grees. Rainfall for September, not in
Guiding last night, had reached LOT
inches, according to the government
station at Weber's.
A search of the records there
shows that September, 1925, was the
warmest period, IL of the first 13
days being 80 or better with a high
reading of 81. In 1929 there were nine
of the first ten days with 80 or better.
The first day of September, 1882,
struck the high mark with reading
of 95 degrees.

RURAL RECRUITS ARE
BEING SOUGHT BY NAVY
Farley Held With County News
paper Editors to Start
Campaign

County newspaper editors and rep
resentatives of the Navy Recruiting
Department met at the Emerson
Hotel, Baltimore, Saturday, to start
campaign for more recruits from
the rural areas.
The success of the venture seemed
certain when a good omen appeared
in the person of Henry Croker, as
sociate editor of the Bel Air Aegis.
Before the meeting was over, Mr..
Crocke had signed up for the naval
air force.
Policy Adopted In June
The navy adopted its advertising
policy last June, and since that time
has been getting it under way in
various states. The plan is to buy adj
vertising space in the weekly news
papers of towns with less than 3d.
600 population and thus interest
many persons who could not be
reached from recruiting centers in
larger cities.
The program was adopted because
men have not been volunteering in
sufficient numbers to man the con-
templated two-ocean navy. In a cir
cular letter sent to the editors before
the meeting, Secretary Knox said:
''The Navy has never lacked for
volunteers. Enlistments are now COM
ing in at far above the normal rate.
But new ships are being launched at
the rate of one every few days. . .
The two-ocean navy e. is leaping to-
ward completion. Therefore, the navy
needs to double its quota of recruits
in the shortest possible time"
$1,000 A Month Needed
Commander James E. Boak, re-
cruiting inspector for the southeast
ern United States, said at the meet
ing that the navy needed $4,000 re-
cruits a month to man the ships now
coming from the yards. In July there
were approximately 5000 volunteers,
and in August 5000.
John H. Kelly from the firm of
Baton, Barten, Durstine & Osborn,
the navy's advertising agents, was
the principal speaker. He explained
the basis upon which the advertising
has been formulated.
To Get Badge of Honor
A feature of the advertisements
will be a coupon by which a potential
recruit may receive an illustrated
booklet entitled Life in the United
States Navy" If man signs up for
the navy, he will receive a special
badge of honor" whether or not he
is accepted.
There are eighty-one county news
papers in the state, with a total cir
culation of 257,000. Of these seventy
six were represented at the meeting.
Lieut.. Com. Philip B. Hambsch is
in charge of the Naval Recruiting
Office in Baltimore.
