DiscontinuanCe of
2 Western Maryland
Trains Due Today
Petitions, Protests, Etc, OF No
Avail; Order Affects School
Children, Miners and Others

Petitions, protests etc. from indi-
viduals along the Western Maryland
Railway, from Cumberland to Elkins,
efforts of legislators of both West
Virginia and Maryland, and others
seem to have no effect on either the
office of Defense Transportation or
the Railway company, and the discon-
tinuance of two trains was scheduled
to become effective today.
The one train leaves Cumberland at
GAO a. M. arriving in Elkins at l. a,
m. The castbound train leaves Elkins
at p. m. and arrives at Cumberland
at 6:30.
The discontinuance of the trains af
fects school children, teachers and mi
ncrs of Garrett county who have used
this method of transportation for a
number of years. Shaw, Blaine, Harri
son, Gormania, Bayard all border on
Garrett county and are scheduled
stops for the trains.
along the line are without hard-sur
faced roads and those who use the
trains regularly contend that without
this service they are deprived Of their
only means of transportation to their
work, in view of the fact that bus ser
vice is not available and the rationing
of gasoline and tires will add to their
plight in finding some other means Of
transportation.
F. F. Rathbun, county superinten-
dent of schools, wrote numerous let
ters to officials in an effort to have
the order withdrawn, and Senator b.
|. Gender contacted members of the
Office of Defense Transportation in
Washington in behalf of the people Of
that area. Mr.. Gender said b. T. Cor
bett, assistant director Of transporta-
ton declared that the taking off of
trains is an order throughout the Uni
ted States and that the Western Mary
lands situation of one passenger train
each way daily was much better than
many other situations. He promised
that these trains would be restored i'm
mediately after the war with Ger
many is over.
In letter to Mr., Rathbun. a trans
portation official said the Western
Maryland railroad officials pointed out
that there were school buses in that
area that could be scheduled to take
care of all school children who now
ride the trains but in reply Mr.. Rath-
bun pointed out that the topography
of the country and the condition of
the roads did not permit the operation
of school buses there.
The morning train that is being dis
continued carries newspapers, bread,
milk and fresh vegetables to all towns
along the way.
In October, 1912, the Western Mary
land Railways application for au-
thority to discontinue operation of the
two trains was denied by the public
service commission, it was stated in
a Cumberland newspaper account.

Welfare Secretary
Expresses Urgent
Need of Foster Homes

An urgent need for foster homes
where children may be placed whose
parents, because of illness, neglect or
inability to control them, are unable
to care for their children in their own
homes, is expressed this week by
Francis j. Connolly, executive secre-
tary of the Garrett County Welfare
Board.
The need is particularly acute. he
declares, for homes willing to take in
children for temporary period while
the child's situation is being studied
and permanent plan made which
will be best suited to meet the indi-
vidual child's needs.
He added there was also grave
need for more new foster homes will
ing to take in foster children for long
time care. He pointed out that a state
law required all foster homes to be
licensed by the board before they can
be used, and that the Board expected
all foster parents to be willing to
work closely with the agency in super
vision.
Board is paid for all children unless
the plan is worked out whereby child
can earn his or her own board.
Mr.. Connolly said he or a represen-
tative Of the board would be happy
to explain in detail the foster care
program to those Interested Offices

Bank building, Oakland, and are open
