Wants Food Supply
Safeguarded; Keep
Farm Boys on Farms

In an effort to help meet the farm
labor shortage in Maryland and the
nation U. S. Senator Willard S
Tydings has written to General Lewis
B. Hershey, director of the Selective
Service System, Washington, asking
that an amendment be drafted that
would safeguard for the farms suffi-
cient labor, and also keep in harmony
with the Selective Service Act.
"The two fundamental things neces-
sary to win this war are bullets and
beef farm products)," Senator Tyd-
ings wrote. "Men cannot fight if they
are not fed
In the face of the nation under
taking the burden of sustaining the
people at home, the soldiers and sail
ors abroad and furnishing vast guam
titles of food to the allies, Senator
Tydngs said at is folly to continue
to take from the farms the boys who
have been raised in the country, who
know the farm, who are needed on the
farm. and thus by so doing reduce the
quantity of food produced by the en-
tire country"
He asked that the amendment be so
drawn as not to upset the basic mill
tary requirements.

Fire Loss on Farms
Now Irreplaceable

Wartime conditions make losses
from fires on farms irreplaccable, ac-
cording to W. C. Bailey, secretary
treasurer of the Garrett County Ma
tional Farm Loan Association. With
present shortages of material and
labor, farm structures destroyed by
fire in most cases cannot be rebuilt,
he added.
The War Production Board has
placed a $1,000 limit on new farm
buildings and because there might not
be a sufficient supply of materials
and labor available, it may be impos-
siblc for person to construct new
farm buildings, or to repair old ones
as in the past.

Flood Waters Affect
Oakland Indirectly
b. and o. Tracks East of Cumb
erland Covered and Two Sec
tiOnS on 17-mile Grade
Washed Out

Flood waters which covered the
BUSINESS section of Cumberland for
ten hours and inundated other towns
in Allegany county, and also threat
ened Washington for time, affected
Garrett county only in round about
way, over the past Weekend
Train service was entirely disrupt
ed for two days when waters falling
down the mountain side along the sew
enteen-mile grade, washed out large
section of track in two areas. one west
of Bloomington and one east Of that
town. High water east of Cumberland
necessitated re-routing of Baltimore
and Ohio trains over the Western
Maryland railway, causing some
trains to be twenty hours or more
late in their schedules. Absence of
mail and newspapers was the great
est Inconvenience here.
Some apprehension for people in
the valley regions was felt in Oakland
Thursday night when it was reported
that the Savage River dam had brok-
en- through in the unfinished portion
and the water was rushing into the
Potomac. The dam had backed up an
estimated billion and half cubic feet
Of flood water and then the water
started coming over the top at an I'M
completed part of the barrier. At this
point the dam is about thirty feet
high, while at its highest point in the
completed part it is over seventy feet
high.
When the water reached the top of
the lowest part it made a gully about
twenty-five feet wide but the break
came gradually and washed out only
a small portion of the uncompleted
fill. Rumors of the dam having broken
persisted in Piedmont, Westernport
and Cumberland until Friday morn
ing.
While the rain in this area was
STEADY lnCfc was no unusual rise IN
the streams and no alarm was raised.
The crest in Cumberland was five feet
under the crest of the 1886 flood Last
Thursdays high water was the result
of a rainfall of 631 inches within
period of 58l2 hours Wills Creek
caused more damage in Cumberland
than the Potomac. 1t was the thir-
tecnth flood in ninety years for that
city.
The Potomac reached an all-timo
high of 176 feet at Washington ten
feet above flood stage but caused lit
tie Inconvenience there, according to
news accounts. Hastily built levecs
were said to be largely responsible.
Five deaths were caused in Maryland,
Virginia and West Virginia.
