Rabbit Quota Will
Be Short This Year

Garrett county is not expected to re-
ceive its full quota of rabbits for
stocking purposes this spring, accord
ing to Joseph A. Minke, regional game
warden.
The county was supposed to receive
600 but up to the present time has re-
ceived 100. AIlegany got 240 out of
a scheduled 1900 Neither county is
likely to receive any more, Minke re-
ported, because of the lateness Of the
season
He explained that an early spring in
the west and middle west, where the
rabbits are obtained, had resulted in
the trappers' returning to their rogu-
lar occupation Of farming, since trap
ping is just a sideline with them A
number of does died in transit also,
he added
The game warden reported that new
turkey corrals have been placed in
operation in both Garrett and Ale
gany counties for breeding purposes.
About 300 bob-white quail are ex-
pected to be received next month, he
said

Jaycees Ask Aid In
Bringing Industry
To Garrett County

Members Of the Junior Chamber of
Commerce have pctitionel the repre-
sentatives Of this area in Congress,
for help in working out solution Of
the present economic conditions in
Garrett county, and in bringing a
small industry to Oakland.
Letters have been sent TO Mrs.
Katherine L. Byron, representative,
and to Senators Willard E. Tydings
AMI George Radcliffe.
The Jaycces point out that the only
industries are coal mining and farm
ing and that inducements for small
industry to locate include being on
the main line of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, with overnight service
to Washington, Baltimore, Philadcl-
phis and New York, an adequate gas,
electricity, water and fuel supply at
reasonable rates.
The organization feels that a small
industry would employ our own citi-
zens and have a weekly payroll for
the community The next meeting of
the Jaycecs is on April and it is the
desire of the officers that a reply be
made 1t that Tins.

Season for Grass
Fires Under Way;
No Damage Thus Far

The dangerous season of grass fires
apparently has begun, with five calls
for the Oakland Fire Department
within the past week. Damage thus
far has been negligible, but the fire
chief issued a warning to all who
planned to burn grass or brush to be
extremely careful
These people were urged to select
a day with little or no wind, and to
have plenty of water available for
use the minute any fire appeared to
be getting out of control.
Firemen were called last Thursday
to field adjoining the Ward Hine-
baugh property, at the north end of
Third street. Another call came as the
result of a blaze in the field east of
the town reservoir and back of the
home of Mr.. and Mrs w r. Offutt
Three calls were answered ycster-
day, one at the home of Richard Glot-
fclty, near town, another one near the
George Moon property in Roscdale;
and another one near the Kcmphfcr
place, cast of Oakland.
A brush fire west of Oakland was
cXtinguishod by CCC cnroJlccs.

MISTAKES OF LAST WAR

And Those With Proper Knowl-
edge And Facilities Should
Grow Gardens

Emphasizing that every farmer and
others with proper knowledge should
grow a garden this year in the Vic
tory Garden campaign, James A. Tow
Ter, county chairman, pointed out that
the amateur gardner without proper
facilities should hold his misguided
patriotism in check as it would hurt
rather than help the war effort
But he urged all those who have
some experience in gardening to con-
tinue that work and to enlarge their
garden space this year in the cam
paign to grow more food
An enrolment Of members will be
started soon but he said that people
should not wait for that. They should
select their garden plot, get the seed
and fertilizer as soon as possible as
both might be scarce this spring
Not since the first world war will
we see as many vegetable gardens as
this spring. Millions of people will
