Campaign For Members of The Gar
rett County Historical Society Is
ReinU Carried On

NSlAA IL Il VI NlCtuDCIS VI IC
rett County Historical Society Is
Being Carried On
To the Editor of The Republican.
There is a certain charm and honor
in being the first in any great enter
prise: the first man, the discoverer,
first settler, the first soldier to pierce
the enemy line, the charter roll Of a
society.
The Garrett County Historical So
ciety is now campaigning for its foun-
ders' roll, set at a minimum of 500
members.
VIII you, reader, be one of these
founders? With a membership fee Of
only S1.00 we must begin with a
large membership-better 1000 than
500
Membership committees are now
working in the eight settlements" of
the county. Reports received at head
quarters are favorable The town peo-
pie are exceeding their quotas. Re-
sponses from friends of our county
and from former residents are very
encouraging. Due to recent unem-
ployment in the mines, committees
in the mining areas are just beginning
to work. Few farmers have been as
yet reached. How will the farmers and
the miners respond?
Questions often asked of our COM
mitteemen:
(D What work do members have
to do? Answer: Officers must work,
but members assume no responsibility
to work or attend meetings. Those
who can will do so voluntarily.
(2) What are the dues? Answer:
There are no dues. Members assume
no future financial responsibility.
Reader, please consider seriously.
If you are not interested, have you
not son or a daughter whom you
wish to become interested in the his
tory of your neighborhood and your
county?
If the campaign committee fails to
solicit your membership, send your
fee to Miss Crystal Elliott, secretary,
Oakland. She will send you a mem
bership card and the first issue of
The Glades Star.

Exception Is Taken To A COntribu-
ton Appearing In The Republican
Last Thursday.
To the Editor of The Republican.
Sir:-Your correspondent, phillip
A. Gladheim," has written some inter
esting articles and performed a real
service in recalling varied scenes of
Oakland's past. But his article of last
week concludes with such an astonish-
ing statement that | cannot let it go
unchallenged.
He says: Being pro-British or pro-
Nazi is un-American," as he says in
another place, but ! strenuously deny
that to be pro-British, that is, to hope
and work with every ounce of strength
that we possess for England's triumph
over her unspeakable foe, is to be
anything short of the best kind of q
good American.
Our own national life and our own
practical destiny are so closely bound
up with England's that we dare not be
anything but pro-British in these ter
rlble days, when savagery and bar.
barlsm on an unprecedented scale
threaten both of the great democra-
cles and all free men everywhere.
Moreover, England, under fire, is bear
ing herself with such gallantry, such
fortitude and such superb calmness
that she is more to be admired in her
hour of travail than ever before, and
with Americas help she will win her
fight at last.
As for being pro-Nazi, I do not see
how any man who values freedom and
civilization can be that, and to link
pro-Nazis with those Americans who,
following the normal path of human
sympathy, and enlightened self Inter
est as well, are pro-British, is, to say
the least, an exceedingly thoughtless
act. FREDERICK THAYER, Jr.

SCORES VICTORY
BY DEEP BREATH
Takes Judges Decision From
Walter Mehl, Of Wiscon-
sin, Before $4,000

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-(R-Les'
lie MacMitchell, New York US
grand distance runner, took a deep
breath right at the finish line and
thereby won the New York A. C.'s
Baxter mile tonight in 4 minutes
IA seconds, equal to. the competitive
world indoor record.
It was no more than a ~last-second
initiation of his barrel chest that
gave the 20-year-old kid from the
sidewalks of New York the decision
over Walter Mehl of Madison, Wis,
but it was enough to give him the
judges decision and win him a
rousing hand from a hometown
crowd of $4,000 in Madison Square
Garden.
The world indoor record for the
mile is 4:04.4, set by Glenn Cum
ningham in a paced race at Dart
mouth March 3, 1888. But Mac.
Mitchell's time was equal to the
best ever returned in a scratch race
first set by Cunningham on this
same track March -, 1888, and
equalled here twice last season by
Chuck Fenske.
