Look at Thermometer
Creates Surprise;
10 Below Revealed

To say that Garrett countians were
surprised this morning when they
looked at their thermometers is put
ting it mildly. They actually gasped
and let their teeth chatter freely when
they learned that it was 10 below zero.
The clear skies and lack of wind
gave people to understand it wouldn't
be any soft snap but they didn't eX-
pect any such figure as the Their
mometer at the government station
at Weber's revealed.
Tuesday, at 6 below, was just an
other day in comparison. The largest
snowfall of the year was also expert
enced this week when inches fell on
Saturday night. There was no wind
and consequently no drifting to
amount to anything. The snow brought
scores of ski enthusiasts to the coun-
ty, and more are expected for this
weekend. The Otto ski tow at New
Germany is expected to be completed.

194l IS RECORD BREAKER
FOR MARRIAGE LICENSES
1884 Licenses Issued During
Year for Highest OF All Time

This business of marriage has come
a long way in Oakland since Jay
bird" Banks met all the passenger
trains and We'd with other solicitors
in corraIing the prospective wedding
couples as they arrived here by the
only means then available.
The gradual extension of improved
highways and the growth of the auto
mobile industry changed that picture
increasing the applicants, and now
various laws and regulations of other
states have again caused an unprece-
denied increase in couples who come
here to be married.
The past year was record breaker
with $3.50 applications made anc
1894 licenses issued, bringing into
the Golfers of the clerk of the circuit
court a total of $9,068.00. Applca-
lions cost $1.00 and the license $500
The all-time record for any one
month was reached in December
when 1888 couples applied and 1863
licenses were issued. Previous to that
June was the highest with 334 appli-
cations and 1886 licenses.
The total by months for licenses anc
applications is as follows:

Received

Preliminary returns OF the 194l
tuberculosis Christmas Seal Sale have
been released by the Maryland Tuber-
culosis Association and show as of

raised in the counties of Maryland,
showing countrywide increase of 10
percent as of the same date last

Garrett county was one of the SIX

turns, but late returns may bring up
the total to as much or more than last
year. To date $354,09 has been re-
ccived from Garrett county, whereas
at the same time last year the
amount was $408,49.
The money raised by Christmas

Roosevelt Asks For
Fifty-Six Billion
In Budget Message
U. S. to Spend S112,305 a Minute
Under Plan President
Advanced

President Roosevelt asked a willing
Congress yesterday to provide a $685.
000,000,000 war chest for the twelve
months beginning next July with a
nine billion increase in taxes that
unquestionably will alter American
ways of living for the duration.
In submitting his annual budget
message he declared 1--WE are de-
termined to pay whatever price we
must to preserve our way of life
and until the job is done, until this
war is won, we will not talk of bur-
dens."
For the war effort Mr.. Roosevelt
listed one lump sum over fifty-two
and one-half billion. The total budget
was over SO billion.
Against this staggering sum, the
largest budget in world history, Mr.
Roosevelt listed net treasury receipts
under present tax laws of over 1e
billion and 7 billion under new tax
legislation.
The new budget means spending
$112,305 each minute.
Congress lost no time in signifying
it's willingness to approve the appro-
priation involved. In few days COM
mittees will be at work.
