New Phone Directory
Has Been Delivered
Distributed To More Than zoe
Patrons In This Area, Accord
ing To Local Manager

Oakland's new telephone directories
have been delivered to more than no
subscribers in this area, according to
statement made by w. r. Pancake,
manager of the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Company of Balti-
more City here. Attention is again
called to the new cover of the direc-
tory which carries the urgent request
not to use the telephone during or i'm
mediately after an air raid alarm.
This new directory also contains the
listings of subscribers at Accident,
Friendsville and Kitzmiller, Md, and
Blaine, w, Va.
The cooperation of telephone users
in not making unnecessary calls to
Information" will result in improve
ments in service and will help to con-
serve scarce and critical materials"
Mr. Pancake declared. MAKE certain
the number you want is not in your
telephone directory before calling in
IOIllldIlOu. more lIldu HAIL Oh lHe
calls now received by information
are for numbers which could be found
in the directory"
Because of the many new telephone
numbers since the last directory was
released, Mr.. Pancake emphasized the
importance of consulting this new di-
rectory before calling. 1t is also sug-
gested that subscribers review their
personal telephone number lists with
those in the directory in the event
these lists may contain numbers which
have been changed. These suggestions
are in line with reaffirming the i'm
portance of keeping telephone lines
open for important war calls.
"On party-lines it is very important
particularly these days, to be a good
telephone neighbor," he said. "a good
telephone neighbor makes calls as
brief as possible, avoids calling many
numbers in succession, answers the
telephone promptly, and hangs up the
receiver carefully. If everyone CO.
operate, then all will receive good
party-line service"

Boys and Girls Are
Needed to Volunteer
For Bean Picking
Will Be Paid For Their Work ;
About IS Acres Planted
In County

Work will be available for at least
$50 boys and girls during August to
help local farmers harvest their bean
crop. Approximately IS acres Of
stringless green beans have been
planted in Garrett county. After they
are picked they will be canned by the
local canning company.
1t is estimated that the yield should
be approximately 300 bushels per
acre, or about 10000 bushels in the
entire county. Bean-picking should
start between August LIST and August
10th and last three or four weeks. The
beans are being grown principally in
three communities, Oakland, Accident
and Grantsville.
All persons, particularly boys and
girls, interested in picking beans are
urged to contact B. o. Aiken, principal
of the Accident school, Accident; John
H. Carter, county agent, Postoffice
building, Oakland; or Milburn w.
Mann, United States Employment
Service, Third street, Oakland.
Efforts will be made by Mr.. Aiken
to arrange transportation and other
details for volunteer bean pickers
The price to be paid for picking beans
rests entirely with the farmers, Mr..
Aiken said. Last year farmers paid
25c bushel 1t is felt that the price
this year will range between 25c and
40c a bushel Farmers will receive
around $120 per bushel.
Farmers in Garrett county needing
bean-pickers should contact Mr.
Aiken, who is trying to bring the pros
pective pickers and the bean growers
together in order that none of the
potential food crop will go I'M
harvested.
All of us have a duty to help pro-
duce food in these times, Mr.. Aiken
pointed out.

Special Speakers At
Lions Club Meeting
Guests Engaged In Interesting
War Work Explain Their
Activities

Two individuals engaged in special
kinds of war work were unexpected
guests of the Oakland-Mt Lake Park
Lions club at the regular meeting on
Monday evening, and they gave inter
esting messages to the members pres
ent in addition to those on the regular
program.
Lieut. Withrow, of Charleston, W,
Va, who is located at Edgewood
Arsenal, near Baltimore, is engaged
with the work of demolition Of bombs
and he told the Lions club about some
of his activities. He was a guest of
Irwin. R. Rudy.
James Davis, of York, Pa, with
the York Safe and Lock company
now in charge of demonstration and
training of naval officers in the new
anti-aircraft gun used on battleships,
also told what he could of the work in
which he was engaged. He is a
brother-in-law of Jay C. Davis, new
president Of the Lions club
The regular program concerned the
recreation project which the club is
sponsoring here and DR.. A. B.
Learner, Lutheran pastor, spoke on
"The Need of Playground Activities -
Dr.. Learner, while at Huntington, w.
Va, was president of the Lions club
and was active in recreation work
which the club sponsors nationally.
Bruce Jenkins, playground director
for the summer, also made a report
on the first week of supervised play.

Farmers To Vote On
Soil Conservation
Set-Up For County
Three Polling Stations To Be
Open July rs, But Farmers Can
Also Send Ballots BY Mail

Whether the advantages that flow
from a Soil Conservation District will
be made available to Garrett County
farmers will be determined in an of
fetal vote to be held on Monday, July
26th, it was announced by John H..
Carter, county agent. Three polling
stations will be opened, from 8 a. m.
to p. M, one at the County Agents
Office, Post Office building, Oak
land another at the Accident Stock
Yard, belonging to Ernest Selby, just
west of Accident, and another at
Grange Milling Supply Co., Mt. Lake
Park. All owners and operators of
land in the proposed Soil Conserva-
ton District will be eligible to vote
If this proposed District is formed it
will include all the agricultural land
in the county.
Mr. Garter states that ballots are
to be mailed to all farmers in the
county for their convenience in vot-
ing in the referendum, making it pos
slble to vote without coming to the
polling station. He explains that only
ballots post-marked on or before July
Goth will be counted in the referen-
dunn.
Most farmers associate erosion with
gullies on hillsides Mr.. Garter
pointed out that much more serious
type of erosion called "sheet" erosion
is the removal of a thin layer of soil
with each rain, generally not noticed
by the farmer.
Western Maryland farmers should
be particularly concerned about this
type of erosion, Mr.. Carter says, be-
cause the mountain soils have a shall
low depth of top soil Not only are
the productive top soils being washed
away from the higher lands but they
are filling up the streams and caus-
ing a drainage problem on the lower
lands.
In Maryland there are already or
gained fourteen Soil Conservation
districts that are operating in fifteen
Of the twenty-three counties.

a BLUE signal always follows a RED,
continuing civilian defense forces on
the alert; homes and buildings remain
BACKED out but traffic resumes.

seconds, which will be tested Monday
evening, will signal that all danger
has passed, ending the alert.
