Highest Peak Among
Hills OF Garrett Is
Under Discussion
Baltimore Sun COlumnist Dwells
AT Length on Attitudes in
County

John O'Ren's Down the Spillway'
column in The Sun has from time tC
time discussed the question as tC
where on Backbone Mountain the in
habitants of Maryland can ascenc
nearest to heaven without leaving
their native state. A query on the sub.
ject from Edgar Ellis, The Suns
erudite Librarian, with particular ref
erence to exact attitudes, and local OF
official peak nomenclature, was
recently answered at length in The
Suns issue Of the 20th quoted below
The writer of the letter however, dis
claims any such extent Of Backbone
Mountain lore as attributed to him by
Mr.. O'Ren, and says that much Of his
information came from Mr. Milton
Sincell, and whom he had mentioned
in the letter as being the best in
formed person in this section on the
survey data of Garrett County.
"The highest point in Maryland,
am now persuaded, is not certainly
known 1t lies somewhere along the
ridge of Backbone Mountain, in Gar
rett county, but Backbone has a num-
Der of peaks almost of the same alti-
tude, and which is the highest never
has been determined.
"This conclusion was forced upon
me when | was permitted to read a
letter by Mr.. Jared w. Young, of
Mountain Lake Park, who probably
knows as much about the subject as
any man alive. Eagle Rock, long re-
puted to be the highest point, is al
most certainly not. On the highway
map it is given an elevation of 3,18S
feet, as against 3,187 for Allegheny
Heights; but the United States
Geological Survey map gives Eagle
Rock only 3,l62 feet.
"The fire tower located at what is
known as Roth Rock is on an elevation
of 3,340 feet, according to the State
highway map, but Mr.. Young is very
skeptical of the accuracy of this
measurement. He does believe. how
ever, that the fire tower is located on,
or very near, the highest point in
Maryland.
THE controversy will be difficult to
co++1o bana,co ocnorJ;Or 70 tbic ~,
thority, the so-called Roth Rock" is
not bold, jutting outcrop, with a
sheer cliff on one side and a magnif-
icent view, as is Eagle Rock, but
merely the top Of a fairly easy slope
" %' s.. All the same, | wish some quail
fled topographer would make exact
measurements"
In view of the interest manifested
in Backbone Mr. Young has suggested
it would be worthwhile, possibly by
the Garrett County Historical Society
to ascertain the local names, and any
legends connected Herewith, of all the
high points on Backbone from the
Savage river to the West Virginia
line Thus Mr.. Young mentions that in
recent talk with the Upoles, long
time residents at the foot Of the sand
quarry road leading to Eagle Rock, he
heard such suggestive names of near
by peask as: Bald Rock, the Big
Swamp (from springs near the top)
Turkey Rocks, and Simpson, the lat
ter so named after a hunter who be-
came lost and froze to death years
ago amid its vast solitudes.

the states, or are they to be chosen
by the administration which happens
TO be in power at Washington?
This is ONE Of the fundamen-
tai issues that have arisen with the
announcement that James NJ. Mead
is a candidate for the governorship
in New York.
There was no important reason
why Mr.. Mead should have entered
the gubernatOrial campaign.
His Democratic Party already
had an acceptable available candi-
date in Atty. Gen. John j. Bennett,
to whom a majority. of the party's
convention delegates had already
pledged their support.
Likewise, the Republican Party
has an outstanding prospective nomi-
nee, former District Attorney
Thomas f. Dewey, who seems to
have no serious opposition with his
party.
THE voters of New York are en-
1 tirely capable of choosing be-
tween these two able men, and
whatever the choice, New York
would have been assured of a good
governor.
In these circumstances, the
state campaign and election should
have been allowed to proceed as
TRANQUILITY as campaigns and cleo
tons may proceed, with the least
possible distraction Of time and
effort from the gigantic and crucial
war effort.
Most unfortunately, however,
the President preferred, ostensibly
as a Democratic voter in New York,
to declare by implication that Attor-
ney General Bennett was not accept
able to him personally.
A few days later, Senator Mead
was persuaded" to disregard his
own preferences and perhaps his
own welfare, and, in response to a
demand" signed by 20 New Dealers,
permitted himself to be drafted.
So he became, overnight,
candidate" for the Democratic
nomination, with the simultaneous
endorsement Of Mr.. Roosevelt and
Of the COM NJ L NIST-C O N
TROLLED LEFT WING OF THE
AMERICAN LABOR PARTY.
As a consequence, the Demo-
cratic Party in New York is threat
ened with disruption.

But that is just one Of the
underlying issues in New York's
Democratic political contention.

Connecticut Babies Reflect
Work Of Medical Society
RN DIR. LOON CLENpENINGL

I HAVE just attended the
Il one hundred and ffucth
anniversary of the founding OF
the Connecticut State Medical
Society. the oldest organization
OF its kind which has a record
of regular annual meetings since
its establishment,
In that 80 years the or

In Connecticut more babies
survive birth than IN any other
place in the world
During the last II years 30
per cent more babies lives have
been saved. and this saving IS
ascrlbed to better prenatal care
for all mothers, rich poor and
in the middle brackets.
After the child IS born, the
care and especially the diet of
the infant should be supervised
The bahy'S weight should be
