Stanley L. Calhoun
Awarded Bronze Star

First Lieut., Stanley L. Calhoun,
with a coast artillery corps, Battery
C, 106th anti-aircraft artillery, auto
matte weapons battalion, was recent
ly awarded the bronze star medal for
meritorious service in combat from
September 27, 1914, to May 8, 1915,
in France and Germany.
The citation reads:
During this period Lieutenant Cal
houn displayed outstanding skill and
initiative in the performance Of his
duties. On one occasion he was in
command of two half tracks employed
to give ground fire support for an at
tack by an infantry battalion near
Fontenay, France. AS the attack be-
gan the two half-tracks became the
target for enemy mortar and artillery
fire. With disregard for his personal
safety Lieut. Calhoun moved freely
between the half tracks, encouraging
the gun crews, and by his calm ag-
gressive leadership completed the fire
mission without loss of men or equip
ment. On another occasion he was
given the mission of protecting road
block near Grandvillers, France, and
despite intense and increasing amount
of return enemy mortar and artillery
fire throughout the day, held his posi-
ton until ordered to withdraw. By his
skillful development of his weapons
in numerous difficult situations and
calmness under hostile artillery fire he
has greatly increased the effective
ness of his platoon and prevented
many casualties"
Lieut.. Calhoun is a son of C. NJ.
Calhoun, route PIG, near Oakland.
Prior to his entry into the service in
March, 1941, he was employed in the
Leighton Brothers garage. He is now
enroute to the United States, after
being overseas since March, 1913.

Judge Praises
Armed Forces
AS Term Opens
Cumberland Jurist Gives Charge
To Grand Jury; Cites FleXi-
bility of Constitution

Associate Judge Walter c..
Capper presiding at the opening
of the September Term of the
Garrett County Circuit Court
Monday morning in Oakland,
paid tribute to the armed forces
Of the nation in his charge to the
grand jury, and referred to the
U. S. Constitution as a flexible
document through which vic
tory was made possible.
He declared: Some Of the judges
in Baltimore City and in the counties
Of our State have contributed much
learning by their charges relative to
the origin of grand juries and jury
trials; others have made profound
talks upon the formation Of our gov
eminent and the scope Of its powers.
1t is not my purpose on this occasion
10 transgress uponyour time; however,
it may not be out Of order to once
again refer, in connection with the
wonderful victory just achieved over
Germany and Japan, to the great sta
bility and fexibility of our constitu-
tional form of government which has
made this victory possible.
Lauds Armed Fores
"Since the adoption of the consti-
tuition, we have been the victor in all
wars in which we have been engaged.
This is an appropriate moment to
pause for congratulation to all of our
leaders and the armed forces of
air, sea, and land, and also
to ourselves as proud citizens of this
great country. 1t is also a moment in
which to remember with great defer
ence and solemnity the inspired vision,
foresight and fortitude of our fore
fathers who drafted our Constitution
and founded upon solid rock its eter-
nal principles Of democracy and good
government.

Kaylor Here To Make
Check of Forest Area
State Forester Declares 50-Cent
Parking Fee Program Is 80
Percent Successful

Here for the purpose of making a
check-up Of the forest areas and the
result Of the establishment of the 80
cent fee for use of parking facilities
in the state forests, Joseph F. Kaylor,
state forester, declared on Tuesday he
felt the new program was meeting
with 90 percent success.
Collection Of fees under The new
program was conducted at the Swal-
low Falls and New Germany areas
for part of the season, but there was
no collection this year at the Herring
ton Manor tract. He said the program
this far had met with more favor in
other parts Of the state than it had in
Garrett county
Since the program was announced
there was much verbal opposition here
in regard to making a charge on
state-owned recreation areas, and at
least one local organization had made
the protest in writing.
Mr.. Kaylor pointed out that most
of the money appropriated for the
forestry department was for fire con-
troll and that no extra funds were
available to properly maintain and po-
lice the recreation areas. The COM
mission had decided on the parking
charge as the best solution. "I'd glad
ly accept a better solution from those
who oppose the present plan, or from
any other person." he said. A $500
permit, good for an entire season, was
available to those who lived near an
area and made frequent trips there.
He declared there had been a notice
able reduction in vandalism in other
parts of the state and that the recre-
alton areas were being policed, result
ing in improved sanitary conditions.
