strip mining operations in the coun-
ty was delayed by the Board CT

LOAN
DRIVE IS UNDER
WAY In COUNTY
Howard Riggs Is County Chair
man in Campaign Which Will
Continue Until June Is

For the first time since the end of
World War II, millions of Americans
are being asked to buy Savings Bonds,
in the Security Loan promotional
campaign.
The drive began last Thursday and
will continue until June Is. Howard
C. Riggs, who was chairman of the
drives during the war, was asked to
continue in this capacity and an
nounced yesterday that Garrett coun-
TVS quota is $4,000.
Mr.. Riggs, cashier of the Garrett
National Bank in Oakland, said he be-
lieved the goal would be met since
sales of E, and G bonds in Garrett
county in 1947 amounted to between
100000 and 100000.
No new types of bonds are being
offered, just the E, F, and G bonds.
The primary purpose of the U. S.
Savings bonds program is to main
tain widespread ownership of the ma
tional debt, and at the same time to
provide proceeds which the treasury
can use in retiring maturing bank
held debt. This is declared to be a
double barrelled attack on initiation
by syphoning off excess funds in the
hands of individuals which would
otherwise be used to bid up prices;
and second, to enable the treasury to
retire inflationary debt.
Speaker Joseph w. Martin, Jr.,
House of Representatives, said the
campaign offers "the opportunity for
each citizen to stand up and be
counted for the American voluntary
way Of life.
"The worker who invests a portion
of his or her weekly earnings in
United States Savings bonds is join
ing in demonstration Of faith in the
security of a government dedicated to
freedom"

BOOSTERS PLAN
CONFERENCE ON
SPORTS PROGRAM
Representatives From Five
High School Communities In
vited to Hear DIR. Ferguson
on May A

In order to give the five high
school communities an opportunity to
learn more about the physical edu-
cation program available in the state,
the Oakland Boosters club has
planned special dinner meeting for
Tuesday evening, May 4, at the
William-James hotel, Oakland, at
which time DR.. Thomas G. Ferguson,
of Baltimore will be the speaker The
dinner will begin at 6:15.
DR.. Ferguson is state supervisor
of physical education and recreation
and will discuss the possibilities Of
football for Maryland high schools
and what is a good general physical
education program.
Emeric Dusic, president of the
Boosters, said the club was organized
to promote athletics for Oakland
High school, and to maintain an in
terest in seeing that OILS. students
be given an opportunity to organize
varsity football, basketball, baseball,
soccer and track teams with adequate
facilities and equipment to partici-
pate in all these sports He added
that the club members were also in
terested in such program withia
the school itself so each student can
have equal opportunity for physical
education and recreation.
Because the local group felt that
the five communities having high
schools would be interested in learn
ing more about the program, Presi-
dent Dusic is having letters mailed to
the high school principals, inviting
from each school the principal, boys
and girls coaches, one boy athlete and
one girl athlete, preferably from the
junior class; P.-T.A. presidents or

Bank Officials Hear
Recovery Program
Discussed at Dinner

Methods which are to be used in the
European Recovery program, were
heard last Thursday night by local
bank officials who attended the an
nual spring dinner meeting of Group
l of the Maryland Bankers Associ-
alton at Cumberland.
The speaker was Raymond F. Mike
sell, financial consultant of the United
States Department of State, and also
professor of economics at the Uni
versity of Virginia.
Approximately 80 officers and
directors of member banks in Allie
gany and Garrett counties attended
the session. Howard Riggs, chairman
of Group l, and cashier and vice
president of the Garrett National
Bank in Oakland, presided.
Chief purpose of the recovery pro-
gram, Mikesell, explained, is to en-
able the European countries receiving
aid to become Independent of further
outside economic assistance by 1862.
Dollars will not be given away, he
said. Aid will be furnished either di-
rectly by commodities or through U.
S. treasury accounts to be used only
for specific purposes.
Assistance will be in the form of
grants or loans, depending on the in
dividual country's financial status,
with some countries paying cash for
ALLEGATIONS where they are able to do
so.
Mkesell pointed out that before the
countries can receive aid they must
make bi-lateral agreements with the
United States, agreeing to balance
their budgets, reduce trade barriers
and speed up delivery to the U. S. of
materials needed in this country.
European countries will be required to
help themselves through their own
efforts in promoting agriculture, in
dustrial production, return to sound
currencies and stimulating inter
national trade, the speaker said.
