According to Secretary of Ag-

they produced more than

numerous household uses and cook
ing aids, to make work lighter for
busy wartime homemakers. There
may be many food shortages but
the lemon crop promises TO meet
all fall and winter demands. Every
member Of the family can have his
fill of lemon pie and all the other
lemon favored delicacies of which
he is fond.
Perhaps in all groups the favorite
OF tavorites is the Lemon Meringue
Pie, and by taking three tiny pre-.
cautions, every cook can be sure
OF serving such pie with a faky
crust, a fragrantly fresh filing,
and tender, easy-to-cut meringue.
First, be sure to add lemon juice
and egg to the pastry mix; second,
cook filing first, then add freshly
squeezed lemon Juice after remov.
ing from the stove; third, add a
little lemon juice to the meringue.
Here's the full recipe:

Water Level Up
In Both Reservoirs

The water level in both the new
and old reservoirs now stands at 10
feet, it was announced this morning
at the City Hall, showing a rise of
ten feet in the old reservoir and four
feet in the new, since last Thursday
morning.
This continued increase in the sup
ply was made possible by continued
pumping from the well of the Oak
land Creamery company and the
water from the most recent well
which the city council had drilled
several weeks ago. Both reservoirs
will hold twenty-one feet each.
This mornings report was quite a
contrast from a few weeks ago when
all the water Oakland had was eight
feet in one reservoir as a fire re-
serve, and the amount that was in the
mains.

German; Passengers Are
Transferred

A defective wheel is given as the
cause of nine-car derailment Satur-
day at 3:15 p. M, on the Western
Maryland railway at German, COM
pany officials announced.
The coal train, comprising sixty
nine cars, was travelling from Elkins
to Cumberland, when the derailment
occurred, blocking both the east
bound and westbound tracks.
Those riding the two daily pas
senger trains running east and west
were transferred at the point of the
accident, causing a thirty-minute de-
lay in the service.
Crews worked through the night
clearing the wreckage from the rails
and service was resumed Sunday
morning at 4 o'clock.
Company officials said that nc
other freight trains were delayed due
to the fact that the derailed coal train
was the final one travelling in either
direction on Saturday.

War Fund Drive Gets
Organized In County
Community Chairmen Picking
Helpers Who Will Seek $500
From People of Garrett

Witt all community chairmen in
the National War Fund drive APP
pointed, progress was being made
this week in organizing the various
working units and a few community
groups were already at work solicit
ing contributions, it was announced
by Senator Bernard |. Gender, coun-
ty chairman,
A total of one hundred twenty-five
million dollars is being sought to
serve humanitarian needs on the
military and entire United Nations
front, and Garrett countians have
been asked to furnish $500 of this
amount
In explaining what the National
War Fund was, Mr. Gender stated it
was a national campaign organiZa-
ton for the support of approved war
relief agencies whose programs have
a universal appeal to all contributors
on behalf of the people of the United
Nations or members of the armed
forces and the Merchant Marine.
Although it was organized on
recommendation of the President S
War Relief Control Board, he pointed
out that it is wholly voluntary and is
not directly or indirectly an arm of
the government, 1t is managed by a
i board of responsible private citizens
1t maintains a close relationship with
government departments in order to
avoid duplication. The National War
: Fund combines seventeen appeals for
contributions to our own fighters and
for our Allied nations, because it is
realized if the United States does not
bring relief to our Allies, we impair
the principal of the United Nations
and that sense of unity which is es.
I sential to victory.
The campaign will continue in Gar
rctt county until November LIST.

RAPIST IS GIVEN FIVE
YEARS IN PENITENTIARY
Judges Sentence Michael Me
Kenzie, AZ, Convicted BY
Jury In Cumberland Last
Week

Convicted last week by jury on a
charge of raping a 17-year-old Borden
Mines girl, Michael D. Mckenzie, AZ,
of Frostburg, was sentenced to five
years in the Maryland Pcnitentiary
by Chief Judge D. Lindley Sloan and
Associate Judge William A. Hustler,
in the Allegany County Circuit Court
on Tuesday.
The jury's verdict was accompanied
by a recommendation for mercy. The
verdict was rendered after jurymen
had deliberated about forty-five min
uteS.
The trial was conducted last Friday
in Cumberland. Originally scheduled
for trial in the Garrett County Cir
cult Court, the case was removed to
Allegany county on the defendants
petition.
The Drummond girl testified that
she had not known Mckenzie until
the morning of June 8, when she rode
from Frostburg to the Celanese plant,
where she intended to seek employ
ment. The defendant made a business
of hauling passengers to and from the
plant.
When she found the possibilities of
obtaining employment were slim in
view of the recent explosion there she
decided to return to Frostburg and
apply for work at the pajama factory
there.
The testimony revealed it was early
when they arrived in Frostburg and
at the suggestion Of another of the
riders that instead of waiting around
for the factory to open she ride on to
Finzel with them and return with Nc
Kenzie. When under cross eXamina-
ton she was asked why she trusted
herself to go with a strange man she
replied that she thought man old
enough to be her father ought to
know better"
1t was on the return trip from
Finzel, she testified, that the incident
occurred and she described his driving
into the St. Johns Rock road, parking
and forcing his affections upon her
AS soon as she could free herself, she
said, she fled down the mountain side
and after trying to find her way back
to the highway, came to the Winner
home where she sought refuge.
Mary Winner, Is, testified that the
Drummond girl was crying, pale
nervous and completely upset whcr
she arrived at the house and tolC
what had happened.
In his testimony Mckenzie verified
most of the circumstances but con
tended that the girl had made no pro
test when he turned into the st
Johns Rock road and had made ne
resistance to his advances whatsoever
Assisting States Attorney Morgan
c. Harris of Allcgany county in thu
prosecution were Paul NJ, Fletcher
assistant states attorney, and Neil c
Fraley, states attorney for Carrot
county. Two attorneys were appointed
