Hope Revived
For Finding Sgt.
Fred W. Helbig

An intense effort being made by
members of the family Of Fred w.
Helbig, to find out if there is any
foundation to the persistent rumors
that he was one of a group of filters
found about two weeks ago in the
Burma-China area, has resulted in
some hope
Reports were to the effect that his
name was mentioned over the radio
in a news story telling about the dis
covery of the group. Supposedly they
were in half-starved condition. No
official word was received from the
government either by his wife, the
former Stella Leighton. or his father
E. w. Helbig. and the rumor was dis
counted.
Donald Helbig, a brother, in en-
deavoring to find some person who
had actually heard the broadcast,
learned Tuesday night from William
Hastings, Pennsylvania Electric en-
ploye, who resides on the Rock Lodge
road, that he had been listening to a
news broadcast about two weeks ago
and actually heard the commentator
mention Fred W. Helbig as one Of
those rescued.
Mr. Hastings was not certain which
radio station sent out the news, and
what agency sponsored the program,
according to Donald Helbig, and he
is anxious to find out if any other per-
son in the area heard the news broad
cast and heard the commentator men
ton the name of Fred W. Helbig. If
there is such a person he asks that he
contact Mrs. Edwin Michael, a sister,
Monte Vista road, telephone 260-M,
and through this manner he believes
the source may be traced and the
authenticity Of the news substan-
tiated.
Mr.. Helbig said he felt sure the gov
eminent would not communicate with
members of the family until all facts
were learned, which might account for
their lack of official information.
Sgt Helbig was officially recorded
as dead by the war department on
June 10, 1916, a year after he was re-
ported missing over Burma while on
a flight mission. Details of his mis-
sion We're revealed by the war depart
ment at that time and appeared in the
September issue of The Republican.
The plane departed from Warazup,
north central Burma, on mission to
drop gasoline drums by parachute to
an air warning station about 10 miles
to the southwest. Because of fog the
plane headed for Bhamo. No further
contact was made with the plane and
an extensive air and ground search
was made with no trace ever found
of the plane or crew.
The continuous rumors have re-
newed hope among members of the
family here. His wife and son reside
at the home of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Russell Leighton, west of town.
His father and brother reside on South
Third street; and his sister, Mrs. Ed
win Michael, on Monte Vista road.

M'KELDIN SURE
OF REPUBLICAN
VICTORY NOV. 5
Around 500 Persons Attend
Mass Meeting and Rally in.
School Auditorium on
Tuesday

State and county Republican can
didates concluded a tour of Garrett
county on Tuesday evening with big
mass meeting in the Oakland High
school auditorium, with indications
for a sweeping Republican victory at
the election November 5.
Noting that sentiment for change
in government leaders was apparent
everywhere he went, Mayor Theodore
R. McKeldin, of Baltimore, candidate
for governor of Maryland, went into
detail about his visits to other parts
of the state and cited the difference
in the feelings Of the people now and
four years ago.
"Things have changed and the ma
iority of the people are going to vote
Republican" he asserted.
Cheered by receptions accorded him
as he toured the length and breadth
of the state Mayor McKeldin entered
the last full week of his campaign
confident that his second try for the
governorship will be successful. -Four
years ago Governor O'Conor's major
ity in Baltimore city was only some
$500. McKeldin's prospects, Judging
by what can be gathered from the
course Of the current campaign, are
very much better than they were four
years ago. In 1913 he carried the city
by 10000 in being elected mayor.
About five hundred persons at
tended the rally Tuesday night and
heard not only McKeldin, but Con-
gresham J. Glenn Beall, Alex Grier,
Republican candidate for comptroller,
and George c. Doub, Republican can
didate for attorney general. The can
didates We're introduced by Neil C.
Fraley who acted as master of ccrc-
monies for the Republican State Cen
trail committee.
Starting at 9 o'clock from Grants
vile State and county candidates
made an intensive tour of the area,
visiting at Keyser Ridge, Accident,
Friendsville, McHenry, Deer Park,
Kitzmiller and Crellin. The group had
the Accident band on the Kitzmillcr
trip and the Oakland band had a short
parade in Oakland before concluding
with a few selections in the school
auditorium.
McKeldin denounced Communism
and the way in which communists
were being accepted in high govern
ment positions. He cited Stains state
ment recently that democracy and
Communism cannot live together"
He also reiterated his belief that the
$4,000 minimum for teachers should
be put into effect throughout the
state.
Rep. J. Glenn Beall made a plea for
the full county ticket and asked the
voters to help in breaking up the New
Deals hold on the federal govern
ment. Alex Grier stated it was "time
we get down to good common sense"
and predicted that the present Repub-
lican trend would sweep the state.
Following the talks by Grier and
McKeldin they left Immediately for
Baltimore to be on hand for another
rally in Hartford county on Wednes-
day morning.
Mr.. Doub was the concluding speak
er, He recalled that in 1895 indcpcnd-
ent Democrats joined the Republicans
to elbow the lid off state politics" and
he predicted the greatest political
revolution in the history of the state"
in the coming election.

x X X X
Satire, with which Ziegfeld never
bothered the brains of his patrons
comes into Minnelli's "Follies" to
give it one of its most amusing
intervals. That is the one in which
Judy Garland MRS. Minnelli, by the
way shows superb comedy fair in
an irreverent musical interlude jib-
ing at interviews between cinema
stars and the press.
1t is quite gay, because Miss Gar
land is so good.
That old imperative of Ziegfeld's S
Follies that they shall pay their
respects to every contemporary
musical style keeps the 1916 movie
edition hopping.
When Miss Garland is not sing
ing mockingly, Astaire and Miss
Bremen give a nice sample of the
romantic in This Is My Heart" "
1t could easily be that you will pre-
fer the blues as sung dramatically
by Lena Horne in Love" against
the background of a dive in which
alcohol fires the passions of the
patrons. Or, If your taste in music
is long hair, James Melton and
Marion Bell participate in an Ella
borately staged excerpt from La
Traviata."
That the whole brilliant package
may be elegantly tied up with a
song, Minnelli has saved for the last
of his picture a gorgeous pageant
of thing in which Kathryn Gray
son sings a number called Beauty.
ziegfeld up in Heaven, imper-
sonated by William Powell, was
highly pleased with it all. You will
be, too.
