President of Dunlo
Coal Dies Thursday

President of the local Dunlo Coal
company and owner of an estimated
5000 acres of land in Garrett county,
August Charles Sickle died last
Thursday morning in his office in
Windbur, Pa, as a result of a heart
attack. He was 81 years old.
Mr.. Sickle was head of several
coal stripping operations in the coun-
ty including one north of Oakland,
another in the Eagle Rock section
with loading points in Deer Park and
Mt. Lake Park, and new operation
near Steyer and German. Some sixty
men will be employed by the Sickle
holdings when the Steyer operation
starts functioning. Coal output of the
present strip mines is 1000 tons per
month, but will possibly reach 10000
tons in the near future, according to
his son, H. Clay Sickle.
Born at Mill Run, Fayette county,
Pa. in 1880, Mr.. Sickle was associ-
ated with the coal industry for many
years. He was president of the Dunlo
Coal Sales company, Windbur; the
Somerset Land and Coal company;
the Connellsville Equipment COM
pany; the Walker Coal Mining COM
pany, Elkins, w. Va; and the Dunlo
Coal company of Oakland and Gar
rett county. A farm at Mill Run was
his hobby.
The deceased is survived by his
wife, Mrs. A. c. Sickle, three sons,
and two daughters. The funeral SER
vices were conducted Sunday after
noon from the First Methodist church
in Connellsville, Pa. He was buried
at Mill Run from the First Baptist
church.
H. Clay Sickle, who recently pur-
chased the Episcopal parsonage on
9th and Green streets here, succeeds
his father as president of the various
companies.

Members Pleased with Reception
in Garrett County

That some good results in better
roads and better recreational facili-
ties would eventually turn out Of the
visit of the Maryland Legislative
Council was the belief of local per-
sons here after the members had re-
turned to their homes Sunday after
noon following four days spent in
Western Maryland. The schedule in
cluded inspection of major West
ern Maryland industries, and visits
to state-owned and state-supported
institutions, the Savage River dam
and the recreational areas. They also
met with representatives of county
and local governmental units.
The purpose Of the tour, first of a
series, was to acquaint council men,
bers with the problems of the vari-
Gus parts of the state, according to
Senator Robert B. Kimble, of Allie
gany county, who was one Of the 10
senator's and delegates who took part
in the trip.
Senator L. NJ. Fraley, who accompa-
MED the group on its tour of this
county, said the legislative council
members were more than pleased
with their reception here and that it
seemed to bring a greater appreci-
alton of local problems.
One correspondent declared they
learned the hard way about the dusty
roads in this county and found that
without their state trooper guides it
would have been difficult propo-
sition to have visited Harrington
Manor State Park, Swallow Falls
State Forest and the New Germany
State forest, because Of the scarcity
of direction signs.
They were met Saturday morning
by the Garrett county representatives
at Luke and were taken on tour of
the Savage River dam project, the
Swallow Falls area, and thence to
the New Germany park where a
barbecue supper was prepared and
served by members Of the State For
estry department..
At a short business session there
Senator Fraley urged more develop
ment of the territory's recreation ia
cilities, and assistance of the state in
helping to build good roads. Former
Attorney William C. Walsh, Allegany,
also brought up the same subjects
the previous night, saying that with
a larger appropriation for recreation
it would be no good If people couldn't
get to the area.
Fraley also said Garrett county
was interested in the completion of
the Savage river dam and keeping
and enlarging the State Teachers col
lege at Frostburg.
H. C. Buckingham, state forester,

extent Of forestry work in this
county, pointing out that $4,000 acres
were held for watershed protection,
timber production and recreation ia
ciities.
Most of the group remained for
the night at New Germany and on
Sunday made a tour of the Deep
Creek Lake section following a buf-
fet lunch at the Oakland Golf club.
There final brief business session
was held at which time the members
of the council expressed their appreci-
alton for their warm welcome. Sena-
tor Fraley responded for the local
citizens.

graphic picture of the destruction
wrought on the country by strate-
gic bombing and the magnificent
work performed by the japanese
people in clearing the debris away
and rebuilding of new shops and

may be traced to their mitigatory
psychological outlook of "Shikata
