have remained at a high level this
year in the twenty-fourth annual
Western Maryland championship ten
mis- tournament on the Mt. Lake

showed a decrease over previous
years.
Early round matches indicate that
there will be some interesting COM
petition in the final events this week
end. Thirty-one were entered in mems
singles but number of them failed
to appear for scheduled matches and
defaulted to their opponents.

BILL
MAY RESULT IN
Some Possibility of County Re-
ceiving 100000 TO Add To
Fund for Oakland Hospital

Under the revised version of the
Halliburton bill in Congress setting
up a $1,127, 600, ZOO five-year hospital
construction program, signed Tuesday
by President Truman, Maryland will
receive either $753,523 or $870,675
annually, to be matched 81 for 81 by
State, local or private funds. The
amount depends upon whether or not
the 1910 census or the 1915 population
estimate is used as a basis.
Whether or not this might affect
Garrett county, has not yet been de-
termined, but there are those who say
that Oakland could obtain about $780,
coo of this fund to add to the $175,000
already set aside by the will of the
late George W. Loar for the construc-
ton and equipping of a hospital here
provided a satisfactory agreement
could be reached with the trustees
of the Loar fund. The Federal fund
however, would be used for equipment
only.
Federal funds are to be made avail
able to states for construction or i'm
provement of hospitals and health
centers upon submission and approval
of statewide plan drawn up follow
ing the surveys and according ia
nooJr Of ,,o,.;o,,r localities
A hospital survey committee is al
ready working in Maryland, function
ing as subcommittee of the Com
mttee on Medical Care Of the State
Planning Commission, and the COM
mittee already has been in this
county.
State, city and other governmental
!agencies and private non-protit hos
pitfalls may participate in the program
According to those interested in the
hospital survey throughout the state
there would be no strings" attached
to any granting of funds, and that
should such a fund be made available
to this county to be added to the Loan
fund, administration of the hospital
would remain with the County Com
missioners and the local board which
the will provided should be set up.
Distribution Of funds within tbs
States is to be handled by agencies
designated by the States. As yet
Maryland has not yet taken the step
which, according to the U. S. Public
Health Service, presumably could be
handled either by the Governor or the
State Legislature.
The Federal money is available dur
ing the current fiscal year.

Park, who is also secretary to the
Maryland Artificial Breeding CO.
operative; and Gerald Heebink, EX-
tension dairyman, University of West
Virginia, Morgantown, will be pres
ent and discuss the services available
from the two states, and he said il
was important that those interested
attend the meeting 20 hear the infor-
nation which is to be presented by
these two men.
Mr.. Carter declared the value of
artificial breeding of dairy cows was
fast being recognized as extremely
profitable and that the movement was
growing by leaps and bounds in many
of the dairy producing states.
He also stated that should the dairy
men in the northern section of the
county desire a similar meeting, one
could be arranged at time and place
convenient for the group.
