eating FIRE

State Fire Marshal Myers has been
in Elkton, endeavoring to solve the
mystery surrounding the destruction
of the two-story barn building loca-
ted to the rear of the double brick
dwelling on West Main Street, in that
town, owned by the estate of the late
Miss Edna Lee. The fire was discov-
cred shortly after 10 o'clock, Thurs
day night, August 20, while heavy
rain was falling. The building had
been used for a private garage and
storage of furniture for several years
past. One car was stored therein, be-
longing to Mr.. Ray Hague, which was
saved
The fire is believed to have been of
an incendiary origin. During past
weeks there have been several mys-
terious fires in Elkton, all believed
to have been the work of fireDugs.
This was the third time over period
of several years, that attempts lave
been made tc fire the building. Some
furniture was stored in the building
at the time of the fire. The Elkton
Volunteer Fire Company which re-
sponded to the first alarm, was join
ed later by the North East Company.
The firemen soon had the flames un-
der control and succeeded in keeping
them from spreading to other nearby
properties.

ElktOn School
Property
Not Sold
Protests Of Citizens Pre-
vent The Sale

The old Elkton High School site.
which was advertised by the School
Board to be sold on August 2S, was
withdrawn from sale.
A petition was presented to the
School Board, bearing over 400 sig
natures of residents and taxpayers of
the western section of the town. Sew
eral of the petitioners appeared be-
fore the County Commissioners and
decision was made not to sell tie
property. There was an attempt made
to sell the material for salvage pur-
poses to the highest bidder, but there
were no bids of any consequence.
1t is reported that the County Com,
m1ssioners are very emphatic and
very determined that this property
shall not be sold until the school sit
uation of Elkton is Strengthened out.
The Cecil Democrat states it was
reported the school board had pur-
chased additional ground adjoining
the present high school building on
which they were to erect new pri-
mary and elementary school. This has
been denied by Mr.. Mcbride. What
ground was supposed to have been
bought is not clear, whether it was
west of the school or north of the
school, but there is possibility that
in the near future the road in that
section will be Strengthened, which
would bring the highway near the
present high school building, and GER
tainly would be an unfavorable site
for children of the primary and ele-
| mentary grades. In fact there is a
clause in the School Boards deed
from Mr.. Oliver w. Gilpin and wife
and Mary Elizabeth Gilpin Mccain
and husband to the Board of Educa-
tion of Cecil County which is record
ed and reads as follows "and
the grantors do hereby dedicate to
public use as street all that certain
strip of land 60 feet in width extend
| ing from the public road leading to
Ricketts, Mill and the road leading
from Elkton to Newark, state road to
the Elkton-Singerly road situated in
the Third Election District TO Cecil
County, Maryland"
The greater number of children of
the primary and elementary grades
have always come from the western
section of the town, so it is only right
that there should be some provision
made by the school Board to erect a
school in that section, and as the old
Elkton High School site is the only
property available in this particular
area and other property could be
bought adjoining it, it certainly is a
desirable site for the priA6ary and
elementary school.
There is no doubt that the petit
tioners will press the present County
Commissioners and those running
| for office for their views on this very
vital matter before the November
election.

 Written for NEA Service

The group of eastern players who travelled to California a few months ago complimented the keen play of the Pacific coast experts. Jack Ehrlenback of Los Angeles, who played today'S hand, became Life Master No. 56 not so long ago.
 In this hand Ehrlenback made a play that is not employed as often as it might be. When South holds the first trick, he continues with the queen of clubs. The nat ural play for West seems to be the king of clubs; but then North will ruff, return a heart, and de- clarer must lose a heart and an- other club.
 Ehrlenback refused to play the king on the club queen. South con- tinued with the jack of clubs, which North ruffed. When he re- turned 8 heart, Ehrlenback went up with the ace, picked up the trumps, ruffed a club and dis carded dummy's losing heart on the fifth club.
 While the average player might consider this 8 double dummy play, 1t really is not. As long as North followed to one club, de- clarer should see that he can set up his fifth club for a valuable discard. He must retain the tim
