SALVAGE GROUP
WANTS PAPERS
And MAGAZINES
Arranges For Collections In All
Parts of The County; Acute
Shortage In The Country

Complying with the request of the
War Production Board and in order to
help meet the demand for paper, the
Garrett County Salvage Committee is
arranging for the collection of maya
zines and papers throughout the coun-
ty, E. R. Jones, County Chairman, an
nounced This was considered at a
meeting of the Committee held last
Thursday night at which Alton Fort
ney, head of the Upper Potomac Sal
wage Committee and Assistant Super
intendent of the West Virginia Pulp
and Paper Company, of Luke, ex-
planned the acute shortage of paper,
the need for collection Of magazines,
books and papers, and the plan under
which his company would purchase
these for paper making purposes.
The committee decided that for
Oakland and the surrounding section
Saturday, January 18th, would be
designated as "gather-up day" and
that it would ask the Oakland Boys
Band to sponsor the project and in
turn receive all of the returns from
the sale of magazines, books and
papers. The matter was also taken
up with the principals of the Kitz-
miller, Friendsville, Accident and
/ Grantsville schools, and they were
asked to arrange plans for their COM
munities and the surrounding sections.
People throughout the county are
asked to save this material and have
it ready to turn in when requested.
The papers and magazines need not
be baIed, but papers and magazines
should be sorted and tied in bundles
weighing about twenty pounds each.
Sorting will insure maximum prices.
Mr. Fortney stated that the three
types of papers and magazines which
his plant can use are as follows;
Glass Smooth surface books and
magazines, such as Golfers, Saturday
Evening Post, Ladies' Home Journal,
w OItdIl - w Ol!t, NdIIpHdl GeOSI al Jult
Magazine, Esquire, True Romance,
and others of similar type. For these
the price is $1.6712 per hundred
pounds.
Glass 2-Mixed paper books and
magazines, such as Life, Liberty, Red
Book and others Price 85c per hun
dred pounds.
Glass 3-Ground wood papers-in-
Guiding newspapers, cataIogs, detec-
tive story magazines and the like.
Price zoe per hundred pounds.
The Committee hopes that every
one having magazines and papers will
save them until the date for collection
and cooperate in this effort. Mr..
Fortney offered to personally super
wise the unloading at the mill so that
the collectors would be sure to have
their loads handled promptly and re-
ceive immediate payment.

Baltimore Attorney
Gets His Buck By
Riding Him To Death

Riding his deer to death was the
unique and also the unpleasant eX-
perience of G. Edmund Blaney, Balti-
more attorney, during the last day
of deer hunting season, it was dis
closed by Stuart F. Hamill, local at
torney, and other companion hunters.
Blaney, Hamill, William Welch and
Dewey Rice were on Hamill's lodge
property, near Harrington Manor.
Blaney spied a buck and fired. The
deer was wounded but bounded out of
sight. Following the trail they soon
spied him fallen in the snow.
Approaching, Blaney though aloud,
Wonder how many points" and
straddling the buck he grasped the
horns to raise the head from the light
snow Up bounded the four-point,
200-lb. buck, which was wounded in
the foreleg, and in bucking bronco
style and at a high rate of speed, car
ried Blaney for fifty yards, Blaney
grasp1ng horns with one hand and the
gun in the other. Finally a wild leap
was made and BIaney was thrown into
the air to land on his nose.
"Shoot him." yelled Rice. But
BIaney shouted, LET him go drown,
he's busted my nose" His gun barrel
was full of mud and snow. Fifty
yards more and the deer dropped
again. This time another shot from a
fellow hunter ended his struggles.
Blaney returned to Baltimore on
Monday, with his nose bruised but
not broken, and sore in the ribs from
his jolting. Fellow huntsmen are
offering Blaney sidc-saddlc as part
of his future deer hunting equipment.

The exact events of the tragedy will

beauty shop next door to the Baum
gartner home, was the first to see
her. He had retired for the night and

out of the second story window, he
saw Mrs. Baumgartner enveloped in
flames, clutching the iron fence front
ing his property and screaming for
aid Quickly getting into some cloth
ing he ran down and as he went out
the door caught up rug which he
threw around the woman and smoth-
cred the flames. "Save me quick; Pm
burning up" she told him.
Firemen began arriving, having been
called by Mrs Hardesty, and they
carried Mrs Baumgartner into the
beauty parlor where her burned cloth
ing and hair were cut from her body
and DR.. R. r. Williams was sum-
moned Mrs. Baumgartner's son, Dr..
E. |. Baumgartner, was out of town
and did not return until 200 a. M,
having taken a patient to a Frederick
hospital.
Mrs. Baumgartner was taken to Al
legany Hospital, Cumberland, in the
Leighton ambulance where her death
occurred
Mrs. Baumgartner had lived alone
for several years. She was born in
