Corrected Report
Shows Hope For
Fred w. Helbig

A corrected report on Frederick W.
Helbig, army air corps, reported miss
ing in action on June IS over Burma,
gives relatives some assurance that he
will show up in the near future.
A letter written July q by Edward
F. Witsell, major general, acting as
adjutant general of the army, states:
"a corrected report has been received
which states he is not missing in ac-
ton but is missing non-battle, and
that he was a sergeant instead of a
corporal as was previously reported.
This report contained no additional in
formation"
Persons familiar with such terms
were of the opinion that "missing nom
battle" often means the transfer of a
person from one unit to another when
his records are temporarily lost The
fact that he was recently promoted
and may have been transferred to a
new assignment lends support to this
assumption.
Sgt. Helbig's wife, the former Stella
Leighton, and daughter, reside with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Russell
Leighton. He is son of E. w. Helbig,
South Third street.

LeCompte Resigns AS
State Game Warden

f. Lee LeCompte, 20, Of Cambridge,
has resigned as State Game Warden,
after a career of twenty-nine years.
He is Maryland's first and only state
game warden, having fostered the de
partment from a two-man office in
1916 to a strong and independent
branch of the state government.
LeCompte was appointed to the then
newly created position of state game
warden June |, 1916, by Gov. Emer-
son c. Harrington.
LeCompte submitted his resignation
to the commission at a meeting in
Oakland on June 4, but it was not
made public until last Thursday. Full
cher P. Smith, Cumberland, member of
the State game and inland fish COM
mission, said that after receiving Lee
Complies resignation the commission
unanimously adopted a resolution re-
questing w. D. Owens, state employ
ment. to hold an open, free and COM
petitive examination for all persons
eligible to fill the position. Owens was
also told that the commission was in
terested in obtaining the best qualified
man to carry out the duties Of the
office
1t has already been announced that
competitive examinations will be held
the middle of August. The commission
will select the warden from the five
applicants who score highest in the
examination and his name will be sub

LeCompte was instrumental in the
enactment of the hunting and fishing
license law passed by the 1918 Gen
eral Assembly wherein funds vital to
the existence of the new department
would depend on revenue derived
from license sales. The game and in
land fish commission has been self
supporting ever since The game war

COMPANY WANTS
TO DISCONTINUE
WATER SERVICE
Says Business in Loeb Lynn And
Mt. Lake Park Is Not Profitable

An application by the Mountain
Lake Water Company of Garrett
county to discontinue its service to
Loeb Lynn and Mountain Lake Park
because Of continued yearly loss
was taken under advisement yester-
day by the Public Service Commission
in Baltimore.
Increased rates were offered at a
hearing as d possible solution to the
situation whereby about 300 resi-
dents of the two towns are threat
ened with loss Of a siXty-year-o ser
vice and access to any water supply
whatsoever.
Mayor J. S. Elliott of Mountain
Lake Park, said the consumers would
be willing to accept an approximate
II per cent increase, since neither
town was in position to take over
the company. Representatives of the
firm contended that increased rates
would not make up its deficit because
Of the large number of delinquent ac-
counts now outstanding.
James H. Donovan, Pittsburgh, Pa,
treasurer Of the water company, said
the losses have been increasing each
year since 1910 as a result Of incleas
ed expenditures and decreases in reve-
nue..
He told the commission that the
company was opposed to increased
rates also because they would not be
justified unless improvements in the
service were made and the firm was
not in a position to make additional
investments.
Mayor Elliott, who said he had
been in office only thirty days, denied
company allegations that the consum-
ers had not paid their bills. 1--WE can't
do without water" he declared, adding
that the townspeople would be willing
to do whatever they could to retain
the service.
States Attorney Neil c. Fraley Of
Garrett county, appearing on behalf
Of the consumers, contended that the
company had no right to suddenly de-
eide to do away with the only water
supply the people had
If it had been suffering such regu-
lar losses, he added, cts wonder it
did not take steps to alleviate the sit
uation sooner"
