Oakland Undergoes
Blackout Practice

Oakland underwent its first black
out practice since January, on Monday
night about $3.50 o'clock, through
orders sent out by the Third Service
Command.
1t was the first test for Maryland
in three months, and although it took
several minutes for many residents to
realize that the siren significd a black
out, Lawrence NJ. Fralcy, director Of
civilian defense, stated that with a
few exceptions everyone complied will
lingly with the rules.
Several places in the business see
ton remained lighted, including the
court house, and a few citizens in
nearby areas. At the outer edges of
town some lights remained on, due
apparently to failure to hear the
siren.
Mr.. Fraley said the control center
at the City Hall was well manned
with utilities officials and heads of
various civilian defense units. Other
towns Of the county were promptly
notified.
There have been about dozen
hlackoutS in this area since December
26, 1871, and about half dozen day.

Conservationists
Make Inspection Of
Fish Hatchery Sites
Possibilities of Bear Creek And
Tributaries of Savage River
Arc Checked Monday

Three members of the Maryland
Conservation Planning Committee
were in Garrett county on Monday to
inspect sites for postwar fish hatch
cry, to be located somewhere in West
crn Maryland, and to discuss the
project with other officials
Members of the committee were
James II. Gambrill, Jr,, Frederick,
member of the Upland Game and Fish
Commission; Frank L. Bentz, admin
istration assistant in charge Of fish
cries; and Albert NJ. Powell, fish cul-
turiSt.
They were accompanied on their
inspection trip by Senator Bernard |.
Condor, Oakland; r. Earl Guard,
Fricndsville; Fred Grove, Of the Allie
gany County Fish and Game Associa-
ton and former mayor of Frostburg.
Joseph Minkc and Francis Rugc, dis
trict game wardcnS.
Mr.. Gender said the committee had
in mind site of from twenty-five to
fifty acres with water flow of 5000
gallons of water a minute, if possible,
with view of taking care of about
100000 two-year-old trout and about
-25o,e09 crappie, blue Ill and bass.
Location of the proposed fish hatch
cry in this county was strongly advo-
Gated by Mr.. Gender, and also by
members of the Allegany- Garrett
county Sportsmcn's Association and
the Eckhart Square Circle Sports
mems Association,
Mr.. Gender said that sites checked
over for possibilities were Bear Greek
and the tributaries Of Savage River.
The visit of the committee was de-
clared to be of interest to many hun
drcds of fishermen in this area. Thus
far this year fishing has been any
thing but good due to high waters and
the chilly weather. 1t was stated that
less than 5000 trout were planted in
Garrett and Allcgany counties this
years which is only about one-half the
number planted in comparison for
years. The shortage of trout food is
the reason given for the small number
Of trout reared at the Bear Greek
hatchery. No brook trout, the only
native trout of this section, were
planted in Western Maryland streams
this year because none was hatchcd in
the state. Brook trout arc said to be
more vicious and arc easier to catch
than rainbow or brown trout.

New Plan For
Tire Inspection

In order to obtain the greatest pos
siblc conservation of truck tires, the
Office of Price Administration an
nounccs new plan of tire inspcc-
tionS which becomes effective on
May /.
The new plan includes tire inspcc-
ton dcpots which arc intended to sup
ply a double check of the service
ability of every truck tire proposed to
be replaced. Such tire inspection
dcpots are in addition to the regular
official inspection stations and which
will be located in convenient places
in the county. Several applications for
these dcpots have been approved by
the Office Of Price Administration.
Under the new plan a person who
wishes to replace a truck tire will take
it to an official tire inspector, as
was formerly done. If the inspector
recommends replacement he will send
the application form (Form RID and
the tire to be replaced to the official
depot. In turn if the depot inspector
agrees that the tire is no longer use
full, he will endorse the application
and forward it to The War Price Ra-
tioning Board for review and final
The new plan was fully explained
several weeks ago by representa-
tive from the Office of Price Admin
istration, at special gathering of
official tire inspectors held in the
Oakland office. 1t met with general
approval and will become effective in
this county on Monday.
