MAY ESTABLISH
HOSPIT HERE
LETTER REVEALS
DR.. Small, New York Surgeon,
Visited Here Last Saturday to
Make Survey of Community

The probability that a hospital
would be located in Oakland was in
dicated in a letter from Dr.. Louis G.
Small, New York surgeon, to Dr.. C.
Oscar Hall, Mt Lake Park, which
Was read last evening at a meeting of
the Junior Chamber of Commerce
Board of Directors.
A hospital in this county is a topic
that has been discussed BY citizens
for a number Of years and from time
to time organizations have appointed
committees in an effort to get the re-
action of individuals and explore the
possibilities. The last effort was an
attempt to build a hospital under
WPA funds, but the cost was consid-
cred prohibitive.
Dr. Small, who is proposing to
come here, has been on the surgical
staff of the New York Polytechnic hos
pital, New York City, for the past
sixteen years, according to DR.. Hall,

MARCH TERM GRAND And
PETIT JURORS SELECTED
Mason GlotfeIty, OF Oakland, Is
Named Foreman of Grand Jury
Which Meets Monday, March s

Grand and petit jurors for the
March Term of the Garrett County
Circuit Court were drawn last Friday
morning by Associate Judge William
A. Hustler in the presence of local
attorneys and court attaches.
Mason J. Glotfelty, of Oakland
was selected as foreman Of the grand
jury, the members of which must re-
port for duty on Monday, March 8, at
ten o'clock. Petit jurors must report
on Thursday morning, March II, at
nine o'clock, but in recent years an
extra week has been the custom be-
tween the calling Of the grand jury
and the beginning Of trials on indict-
ments found by the grand jury, so
it. is likely that the petit jurors will
not be called before March %, but
this should not be taken as a fact
Members, therefore, should obey the
summons for duty issued by the Sher-
if, George E. Coddington.
The jurors drawn are as follows:

Organization Set Up
To Encourage Gardens
Committees In Each Town to Be
Named to Aid individuals In
Their Gardening Problems

An organization to encourage more
people to grow gardens and to assist
in gardening problems was effected on
Tuesday night following a meeting of
various individuals called by the EX-
tension Service The discussion was
held in the Extension office, post
office building, Oakland.
Miss Mariana Lee Long, home
demonstration agent, said a county
committee for Victory Gardens would
be named and also committees on gar
dens in each town, the responsibility
Of the naming of the latter committees
being left to the Mayors and councils.
Everything, she pointed out, was to
be on a voluntary basis, with the sup
plying Of information to those who re-
quested it being the important thing
TO keep in mind. She felt that many
people would plan to have victory
gardens this year without any par
ticular encouragement but that many
of them would be seeking Informal
ton that would make possible good
job and a successful harvest She
added there would be no garden en-
roIIment this year
The Health department and Wei
fare Board We're represented at the
meeting and members of their staff
will encourage the planting and cult
walton Of victory gardens wherever
they can.
1t is not the plan to encourage
those to have gardens who do not
have suitable ground. Only those with
suitable plots are to be asked to plant
and new gardeners will be encouraged
to ask for assistance from local lead
crs or from the county committee
Miss Long will be chairman of the
county committee
The county committee that is being
asked to serve under Miss Long in
cludes John H. Carter, Mrs. Robert
Hoffman, James A. fowler, Claude
Stanton, Mrs. Rebecca Canaan and Will
liam Winterberg.

Minute MEN TO
SPONSOR BLOOD
BANK IN OAKLAND
Have Volunteered 100 Percent
To Donate Blood to Red Cross;
Now Ask individuals to Help

After volunteering one hundred per
cent to donate portion of their
blood to the American Red Cross,
members of the Oakland company of
the Maryland Minute Men decided at
a meeting last night to sponsor a
blood bank in Oakland, in order to
give opportunity for every citizen to
do likewise, it was announced by Of
ficers of the unit.
Every week throughout the United
States blood donations are being col
lected by the Red Cross through the
use of mobile units which move from
place to place, and the blood is pro-
cessed into dried plasma for use by
our far-flung fighting forces as well
as for civilian use in emergencies.
Minute Men companies throughout
the state are volunteering to take
part in this humanitarian project
Local officers were of the opinion
that many individuals would also be
willing and even anxious to serve
their country in this way.
The Red Cross mobile unit has al
ready been in the Washington coun-
ty area, and is scheduled next for Al
iegany county sometime in the near
future. From there it is expected the
unit will be moved to Garrett county
to extract the donations from the
forty five members of the Oakland
Minute Men company. Individuals
who wish to contribute pint of their
blood will be asked to leave their
name and address and telephone num-
Der with H. c. Riggs, organization
chairman, at the Garrett National
Bank; George H. Hanst, acting cap
tain, at The Republican office; Ed
ward P. kahl, acting lieutenant, State
Roads Commission office; Walter
Hull, acting first sergeant, County
Roads office in Court House; or John
khare, supply sergeant, at Ralph
Pritts garage, Liberty street.
As explained by leading physicians
the withdrawing of pint Of blood
from an individual causes no harm or
injury to that person and within a
few hours the loss is restored The
actual taking Of the blood takes only
fifteen or twenty minutes, after
which the donor goes about his ordi-
nary duties.
The Red Cross has announced two
and one-haf million pints of blood in
the next twelve months, requiring APP
proXimately fifty thousand donors a
week throughout the nation, will be
needed to fill the quota recently re-
questcd by the Army and Navy. This
expanded program ranks as the big
gest single medical undertaking in
history.
Other Activities
AT last nights meeting Of the Min
ute Men, the sensitive" points of
Oakland were discussed and prepara-
ton made to guard those places dur
ing any emergency that might arise
through activity of the enemy.
Three new recruits were received,
bringing the company strength to 45.
A full report was given of a meeting
of officers of the 8th battalion last
Friday night in Cumberland which
was attended by George H. Hanst,
Edward P Kahl, John Khare and
Walter Hull.
The company will meet next
Wednesday evening at 1880 and will
travel to CrelIin for an evening of
rifle practice.

MAX BAER RATES JOE
 GREATEST
By DILLON GRAHAM AP Features Sports Editor

NEW YORK-There's no doubt in Pvt. Max Baer's mind as to who was the greatest fighter he ever fought. Joe Louis, the chocolate thumper who teed of on Maxie's chin some eight years ago But it's bit surprising to learn that Baer doesn't rate Jim Brad dock, the Irishman who took his title, among the top ten battlers he has met.
 Baer's in the army now, an en- listed private at Mcclellan Field Calf. Max is an instructor in the physical training division of the Sacramento Air Depot Control Area Command, teaching boxing and wrestling to thousands of sol diers in California and Nevada.
 In a bull session with his khaki clad mates the other day Max was asked to rate his opponents. Louis gave him his worst licking, knock ling him out in the fourth round fin 1885, so Max didn't hesitate in naming Joe as No. 1. Max Schmel- ling is second on Baer's list, and he considers his defeat of the Ger man in 1883 as his greatest tri- umph
 Continuing with his rating of fighters, Baer put Tommy Lough- ran in third place, Primo Camera in fourth, Ernie Schaaf, fifth, John ny Risko, sixth, Paolino Uzcudun seventh. Tommy Farr, eighth, King Leyinsky, ninth, and Tom Heeney tenth.
 Max says that Nazi, Schmelling hit him harder than any other man. It was in 1933-
 Dempsey always told me that when a man hit me hard I should aim for the middle and wham back. We'll, sir, when Schmeling took that terrific punch at me that broke
