Birds Have Wars Too

Birds have wars too, just like
human beings. And among their own
race too.
A local couple heard commotion
the other day outside their home.
Several robins were having squabble.
Presently one of the birds flew to a
nest, apparently the nest of his ad-
versaries. Soon the couple saw ii
featherless baby bird come tumbling
from the nest, ruthlessly pushed on
by the attackers. Then another and
another until the nest was empty.
Then the attackers took possession.
The baby birds of course lost their
lives, and the parents were forced to
fly away, to establish a new home.

Money DrdaVS Interest
On Oakland Streets

Oakland must be a good place il
which to invest cash. because it ever
draws interest right on the streets OF
Oakland. We've got proof!
One day last week Prentiss Porter
First National Bank employee, was
carrying a sack of pennies on his
shoulder, nine thousand of them. AT
the corner of Second street and Bank
ers' Lane the fastener became loose
and about half of the sack or about
1900 pennies rolled to the street. II
looked to Prentiss like some of them
might have rolled down the sewer 1t
also looked discouraging to him.
Several Amish persons and others
gathered to assist in the collection.
Fortunately the town truck passed
about that time and loaned a shovel.
Then as the end Of the job was in
sight H. c. Sincell supplied a broom
from his store.
Back at the bank Prentiss put them
away, to count at his leisure. He
family completed the count last Fri
day.
He was two cents over!

Bible Translator
Here For Visit Will
Speak Sunday at Park

DR.. William L. Wonderly, of CO.
painala, Chipas, Mexico, together with
Mrs. Wonderly and their two children,
are spending a few days with home
folk near Mt. Lake Park. DR.. Wonder
ly, son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. o. Wonder
ly, has been engaged in bible trans
lation work in Mexico under the Wy
cliffe Bible Translators for a number
of years. During this time he has re-
duced to writing the Zoque Indian
language of southern Mexico, and has
helped translate the Gospel of Mark
into that language. 1t is being pub
lished by the American Bible Society,
and will be the first portion of the
Bible ever to be made available to the
Zoque Indians in their native tongue.
Some of the problems connected
with the translating of Scripture in
to hitherto unwritten language will
be discussed by DR.. Wonderly on Sun
day, May 23rd, as he is to be speaker
at the II o'clock service of the United
Brethren Church at Loeb Lynn on
that date.
In connection with his work under
the Wycliffe Bible Translators, Dr.
Wonderly has taken advanced study
at Indiana University and at the Uni
versity of Michigan. In February of
this year he was granted the degree
of doctor of philosophy in linguistics
at the University of Michigan. His
thesis, written as part of his work
for the Ph.D. degree, is an extensive
work on the sound system and gram
mar of the Zoque language.
Dr.. Wonderly will be leaving next
week for Norman, Oklahoma, where
he teaches each year at the Summer
Institute of Linguistics, which meets
on the campus of the University of
Oklahoma. This is a summer school
operated especially for missionaries
and those preparing for missionary
service; those who attend the school
study how to learn foreign language
and how, where necessary, to reduce
to writing an unwritten language any
where in the world, analyze its gram
mar, and learn to speak it. The school
is designed to serve personnel from
all evangelical denominations and
missionary organizations who wish to
take advantage of it, especially those
planning to do pioneer work or to
translate parts of the Bible into some
Of the 1000 languages of the world
which as yet remain unwritten, I'M
analysed, and without any portion of
the Scriptures.

Track Meets Are
Called Off for Lack
of Transportation
1947 Law Prohibit School
Buses For Such Purpose
Without Special License

The countrywide track and field
meets for both Elementary and hign
schools, scheduled to have been hel
today and tomorrow at Accident,
have been postponed. The reason was
declared to be lack of transportation,
and the lack of transportation was
said to be because of a law passed in
1947 which prohibits school bus oper-
ators from using their buses for any
thing other than their primary job
of transporting to and from regular
school sessions unless they have IA spe-
cial charter" license, which costs a
bus operator $4,000
The announcement caused disap-
pontment to at least 5000 students
in the schools of the county who had
been practicing and training over the
past several weeks. Notice of the
postponement was not learned by the
students until this week
F. K. Rathbun, county superin-
tendent of schools, said yesterday,
that the officials were aware of the
law last year but that conflict was
caused because there was no county
wide track meet last year
This year when the passage of the
law was recalled an Interpretation
was sought and in a decision of the
attorney general, he declared it does
apply to school buses. Garrett county
legislators told Mr. Rathbun that
when the bill was passed they were
assured that it did not affect use Of
school buses for the various school
activities. In meeting Tuesday
night they approved action in the
coming session next Tuesday which
might lead to repeal of the offending
clause in the law, or at least have
Garrett county excepted
Mr.. Rathbun said all counties in
the state were running into the same
difficulty and that school officials
were 'up in arms" about it.
If the law is changed so that school
buses may carry students to the
track meet, Arthur Green, president
Of the school bus operators associ-
alton, said the operators would be
glad to do their part, and Mr.. Rath-
bun said it would be possible to have
the track meet early in June.
Some of the schools, fearing that
postponement really means cancel
lation, are scheduling play days" or
track meets of their own and are in
wiling nearby schools Oakland Ele-
mentary has scheduled such a day for
next Tuesday and Swanton already
has accepted the invitation to attend.

Cancer Drive Short
of Goal by $77.46

That the drive for funds with which
to fight cancer had fallen short ii
this county by Stag was announce
last night by the Lions club com
mittee which had charge Of the
countrywide campaign.
The goal was $4,000 and the amour,
received to date was $522.54. Tn,

night at the Garrett National banl,
by Robert w. Lohr, Eliza Bray, |. r.
Rudy, ST., Daniel P. Smouse, H. c.
Riggs, Denzil Bowycr, Harold H
Harmed and H. l.. Bittner.
AS soon as it was determined how
close they had come to achieving
their goal they fastened to formu-
late an appeal to the general public
for the remainder of the amount.
They were of the opinion that there
would be some who had not contri-
buted previously or who would like
to increase their contribution, and it
was announced that additional
donations would be received at
Harned's Pharmacy or at the Garrett
National Bank for a few days yet, in
an effort to reach the quota.

H. c. Stockdale, who designed the

sentative of the company for the
Bean high pressure fog fire fighter.
In explaining the action of the
water under pressure, it was told
that the finely atomized fog at the
6OO-lb gun pressure is so fine and
light is is suspended in the air for a
much longer time than coarser low
pressure drops, and creates steam
which cuts out the air and reduces
the flame to minimum.
Three hundred gallons under
such pressure has fire quenching
ability of 5000 gallons Of low pres
sure water. The nozzle also dis
charges a fine heat absorbing insul-
ating spray in front of the operators
face and shoulders. The gun was des-
cribed as being 10 inches long, not
heavy, with trigger type shut off

The demonstration was arranged by
