State Forester Names
Special Patrolmen

As the result of study made on
the ground by Assistant Forester H.
c, Buckingham, of the Department Of
State Forests and Parks, as to the
best means for the prevention of for
est fires in the coal fields of West
ern Maryland, announcement is made
by State Forester Joseph f. Kaylor
of the appointment as special patrol
men for the Backbone Mountain area,
in Garrett county, of Lambert Ram
sey, Of Oakland, and Theodore Wilson,
of Swanton.
1t will be among the duties of
these patrolmen, by personal visits, to
seek the cooperation of local residents
in fire prevention measures. Each
will be supplied with patrol truck
equipped with 50-gallon water tank
for the quick extinction of fires he
may encounter, or that may be re-
ported to him, while still of small cX-
tent, Mr.. Ramsey will cover the terri
tory from Bloomington to kitzmiller,
and Mr.. Wilson that from Kitzmiller
to Crcllin. In general charge of fire
control in Garrett county is District
Forester Supervisor Elmer Upolc, of
Mountain Lake Park
Western Maryland coal fields, says
State Forester Kaylor, are regarded
as critical war areas, since forest
fires that are permitted to gain a real
start there must be fought with man
power, which necessarily comes in
large measure from the mines. This
in turn can only mean a sIow-up in
coal production, and consequent harm
to the war effort
Plans also call for a special patrol
man in the Georges Creek region of
Allcgany County, Mr. Kaylor reports,
though actual appointment has not
yet been made.

New North Glade
School Completed;
Will Open Nov. %

The newly constructed elementary
school at North Glade will be formal
ly opened to approximately eighty
children of the community on Mon
day, November %, it was announced
The building was accepted Satur-

intendent, and the Garrett County
Board of Education.
The new school is a one-story brick
building fifty-four feet long and
forty feet wide, containing two
class rooms and two toilets, and was
constructed by John l. Vandegrift
Company, Cumberland, at cost of
approximately $16.7OO Plans were

Champion Eggs
Getting Bigger
We wore afraid Of that!

We were afraid of that!
Once the Garrett county hens be-
gin to lay big eggs there seems to be
no stopping them, and when it was
announced last week that Joel Sla-
bach, Gortncr, had a White Rock
pullet that claimed an egg 81 inches
around the long way and &c inches
around the middle, and weighing one
fourth pound, we thought the pullet
would have opposition.
This week NJ. l.. Calhoun, Mt. Lake
Park, brought in an egg measuring
8a4 inches around the long way and
7 T. inches around the middle, weigh
ing 6 ounces He declared it was from
a Barred Rock pullet.
