Beavers At Work On
Tolliver Run In The
Swallow Falls Preserve

That there were some beavers hard
at work on Tollivcr Run, in the Swal-
low Falls State forest, was reported
to The Republican by Bert Rcam and
Irwin O'Haver, who reside in that sec
ton of the county.
Mr.. Roam has watched them at
work. The dam they are building has
backed up water for quite some dis
lance, somewhat west of the bridge
in the Swallow Falls forest area, and
can best be seen by taking the Cranes
vile road, south Of the area and then
turning off side road
Beavers are very expert in their
workmanship and are particular about
the trees they cut down for use in
their dam and houses which they will
construct after the area is flooded.
The animals are protected from hun
ters by strict regulations carrying a
heavy penalty for violations.

Stranger Found On
B. & O. Tracks, Died
OF Natural Causes

The man who was discovered lying
across the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road tracks, about one and one-half
miles east of Swanton, yesterday aft
ernoon, died of natural causes, it was
determined by DR.. f. l. Baumgartner,
deputy medical examiner, following
an investigation.
The man was found by Is. and O.
train officials of a passing train who
brought the train to a halt before
reaching his body. 1t was removed to
the side of the tracks and local
authorities notified.
An investigation was conducted by

artist. He was 70 years old and
DR.. Baumgartner said that no doubt
death was due to a heart attack.
Authorities had communicated with
relatives at Bangor last night, but so
far there has been no information as

Early Action Urged on
Savage River Dam Bill
Flood Committee Chairman Acts
On Beall's and Randolph's
Request

Rep. Wilmington D-Mass), chair
man of the House Flood Control Com
mittcc, has asked Congress for early
consideration Of a bill to provide for
completion Of the Savage River dam
in Western Maryland.
At the request of Reps. Randolph
(D-W. Na.) and Bcall (R-Md), he
asked army engineers to expedite a
report on the present status of the
project and the dcsrablity of COM
plotting it.
Randolph said he was certain the
report would be available within Sow
cral days and that the committee
would consider it Immediately there
after.
The bill, introduced by BealI few
days ago, would provide $9S0,000 for
completion of the dam, now approXi-
matcly 60 per cent finished.
Randolph said he and Bcall felt that
the dam would dctcrioratc unless work
was resumed shortly, and he asserted
the project was vital not only to West
crn Maryland and adjacent areas of
West Virginia, but to the entire Poto-
mac river basin,
Army engineers previously recon-
mcndcd that work be resumed on the
dam as soon as the war situation per
mittcd. Work was halted in 1871 be-
cause Of war-created shortage Of
men and materials
Industries in the Cumberland region
were handicapped by shortage Of
water during the past summer, and
Randolph said completion Of the dam
would alleviate this condition by in
surfing a sustained flow of water in
the Potomac.

Struck By Automobile
Tuesday Evening

T. J. TONY" Miller, who resides at
Rosedale, west of town, was pain
fully injured when accidentally struck
by an automobile driven by Burlin
Hollcr, of Crcllin, on Tuesday evening
about 7;45 o'clock, near the Carnation
plant
Holler was headed for Oakland, and
lights from a passing automobile pre-
vented him from seeing Mr.. Miller
until a few seconds before he struck
him. He quickly jammed on the
breaks which probably helped to pre-
vent serious injury.
Holler brought the injured man to
town where he was examined by Dr.
r. f. Sollars. There were no broken
bones but Mr.. Miller was bruised and
cut about the face and hands.

ton, as he revealed all preparations

N-ray, tubcrculin testing, medical re-
search, health education, Negro pro-
gram and the Miracle House, a pre-

at is most vital part Of our war
effort that those on the home front
remain healthy in order to produce
materials for war said Mr.. Staub.
"Thc armed forces arc successfully
controlling the disease by X-raying
every recruit and through greatly
increased X-ray program we hope to
follow their lead"
Mt. Staub further pointed out that
the efforts of the association in CO.
operation with the State, county and
city departments of health have sue
ccsSfully maintained the tuberculosis
death rate at its pre-war level, and
said; at takes increased effort in
order to keep the death rate from
rising in times such as these, cspcc-
tally since the disease is rampant in
the occupied countries and has shown
an alarming rise in England, as we'll

Welfare Board Makes
Report For October
Points Out Services Handled By
Board In Addition To Public
Assistance

The County Welfare Board spent
a total of $16,619 for public assistance
in October for families and ndividu-
ais, and rendered other service to the
community, according to Francis Con-
molly, executive secretary. "Thc latter,
while perhaps not as we'll known,
make up a considerable amount of
the work of the Welfare Board" Mr..
! Connolly said.
He explained the service in behalf
of children.
Eight cases were handled. This
service involves work with parents
who come voluntarily to the agency
| to ask help on behalf of a child or
children, perhaps because a child is
unmanageable or because the parents
! are unable, because of circumstances
to plan for the child's care. 1t also
involves investigation of those stu
ations where the agency has brought
to its attention a definite complaint
that children are neglected or that
children are in situations dangerous
to their wcll-bcing The agency inves-
tigatcs such complaint and if a harm
with the parents to find out what the
parent can or is willing to do to cor
rect the harmful condition. If the par
cnts are willing the agency will offer
its resources to help in changing the
bad condition and will set a time
limit within which the change must be
brought about. If no change is made
the children will be removed from the
parents, but not before the parents
have chance to see what they can
do, unless, of course, the situation at
the very beginning is totally bad"
Other services included fifteen f.
nancial Investigations to determine
, eligibility for payment of hospital
/ bills at State expense, compiling one
social history for State mental hos
pital, three cases for out-of- State
agencies, and two other cases of ser
vices to families or individuals.
The breakdown of October public
assistance was as follows
Old age assistance, 1927 individuals,
$7,449.15, or $22.78 per case.
Ado, 287 children, $3,89S.14, or
$13.5S per child.
PANB, 7 individuals, $1S107, or
$3.50 per persons.
GPA, 118 cases, $2,925.91, or $2I79
per case.
Home care, % children, $359.92, or
$500 per child.
Administration expense, $1,S02.35.
Of the October amount expended
$3,480 was from county funds, and the
balance of $l3,138 from State and
Federal funds.
Mr.. Connolly pointed out that the
administrative cost of the program,
of which 20 per cent is charged to
local county funds, represents ten per
cent of the total amount of money
spent for public assistance in the
county.
