sociation is conducting drive to
raise funds for aid to teachers in
Europe, it was announced this week
by Merle Frantz, elementary princip-
al here.
Each teacher is being urged to con-
tribute a dollar or more. The drive

ing collected by Miss Ann Dilgard,
treasurer of the association, Oakland
elementary instructor.
Following the close of the drive
the money collected will be sent to

funds from other county associations
All money collected in the entire state
and nation will be sent to areas in
Europe, to be designated by the Ma
tional Education Association.
This nationwide effort by teachers

ing among fellow teachers through
out Europe, Mr.. Frantz explained.

Sales Tax Receipts
S2,27O,368 In October

James j, Lacy, State Comptroller
and administrator of the Maryland
Retail Sales Tax Act, said that $2,-
270,368 had been received in col
lections for the month of October.
This is the largest amount so far re-
corded since the levy went into effect
on July /. The total for the four
months now is $7,973,O31. Returns
are coming in for November and it is
possible that the aggregate for the
eleventh month will be the largest so
far received, despite the fact that the
minimum bracket now is IA cents in
stead of nine cents.
OF the grand total of $5,7O2 ,663
received from all sources of revenue
for the first three months, Baltimore
City, as was to be expected, con-
tributed $3,350,326, the % counties,
$2,217,050, and from out-of state,
$135,2S7. Baltimore County's share
was the largest among the counties,
with $319,075, followed by Mont
gomcry, $214,447 and Allegany, $2O3,-
$50. Garrett County's share was $2S,-
800.

Employers of Part Time
Workers Subject to Law

The Maryland Employment Securi-
ty Board, through Charles l.. Briner,
manager of the local Unemployment
Compensation Board, this week called
tc the attention of Maryland employ
ers, who customarily employ ad
ditional employees as part-time or
temporary workers during the holi-
day season, the fact that they must
comply fully with the provision Of the
law.
''Employers are required by law to
send accession notice to the Board
each time they hire a new employee" +"
Mr, Briner said, and failure to do
this by the end Of the fifth day after
tkc person is hired, makes the en-
ployer subject to fines ranging from
- to $40 per employe.
Persons filing for unemployment
compensation who are employed in a
part-time or temporary capacity, or
Individuals drawing benefits who have
accepted employment on part time
OF temporary basis, and who fail to
report on wages earned are also sub
ject to the law, it was pointed out.
Mr. Bliner said if any employers
in this area had any questions per-
tanning to any phase of the Unem-
ployment Compensation Law, he
would be glad to help. His office is
at 10 Alder street, 2nd floor, tele-
phone 273.

Luke Man Fined
On Motor Count

William X Randells, SO, of Luke,
was fined 1915 here Tuesday for
reckless driving following an acci-
dent near Swanton late Monday night
in which one person was slightly in
jured
Maryland State Trooper Robert
Henline, who investigated, said Ran
dells, forced the automobile operated
by Vernon D. Bowman, 81, Baltimore,
against a guard rail on the Blooming
ton Road.
James Kirk, ST., A, Luke, a pas
senger in Randells' car, suffered
decorations of the face and was
treated by Westernport physician.
Trooper Henline said Bowman, a
deer hunter, was driving toward
Swanton on the Bloomington Road
when Randells' car approached from
the opposite direction but on the
wrong side Of the road.
Ice covered the ground on both
sides of the highway, and Bowman
was forced on to the ice and then
knocked against the guard rail, the
officer explained. He said both cars

Mother Seeks Custody
Of Daughter Said to be
Living Near Town

Describing as very much alive her
seven-months-old daughter who was
reported dead in the obituary columns
of Cumberland newspapers Sunday
and Monday, a 21-year-old mother
told a Cumberland newspaper re-
porter last night she intends to re-
gain the infants custody.
The infants mother, Elva Hutzell,
Mt. Savage, told story of a weaken
ing friendship since the child's birth
between herself and Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles A. Barkman, formerly of Cum
berland, who now reside on farm
near Oakland, and according to the
story in the Cumberland News this
morning, said she belived the obitu-
ary was a plan to make her believe
her daughter was dead so that she
would not attempt to gain custody
of the infant.
Reading of her daughters death
Sunday the mother said she went
later to the Barkman home and found
the child alive and well.
Bringing the matter to the at
tention of Morgan c. Harris, Allie
gany county states attorney, Miss
Hutzell said she was advised to en-
ploy an attorney and seek to gain
custody of the child through court
procedure. Harris confirmed that in
formation last night.
The Barkmans could not be con-
tacted this morning, but the Cumber-
land paper said that at their Oak
land farm home last night Mr. and
Mrs. Barkman said they did not send
the obituary to the newspapers.
Now living with Mr.. and Mrs Paul
Dickel, Mt. Savage, her brother-in-
law and sister, Miss Hutzell said she
expected to obtain her daughter
sometime this week"
Acquainted with the Barkmans fol-
about two years, Miss Hutzell went
to live with them at their Cumber-
land home about a month before hel
baby was born in Allegany hospital
on March 28, 1947.
After the baby was born the
mother worked in various places, anc
lived with relatives. She said she hac
trouble finding the Barkmans home
after that.
