Suggests Long Way
Around AS Shortest

Anything like Smooth sailing
over route 219, north from Oakland
for a distance of about four miles
will be thing of the past for at
least two months.
1t was announced by Franklin c.
Snyder, superintendent of the re-
location job for the George F. Hazel
wood company, that workmen had
started taking out portions of the old
road preparatory to grading the new
stretch. Although the highway will
remain open for traffic, it was sug-
gested that the best route for con-
venience when travelling north from
Oakland for any distance, or coming
from that direction, would be the
Sand Flat-Deer Park Mt. Lake road
Mr.. Snyder said that some sections
of the four mile stretch would be
over dirt, and some sections would be
one-way He stressed the fact, how
ever, that the road would be open to
traffic, which is a requirement in the
contract.
People travelling to Sand Flat by
way of Deer Park would have to ira
vel about II miles instead of the usual
six. But the long way around might
turn out to be the shortest in the
amount of time expended.

'Banbi' is NoVJ Just
One of the Family

Fourteen months ago, Mr. and Mrs.
Ross r. Ryland, of near Keyser's
Ridge, found month-old doe with Il
broken leg. The helpless deer became
the pet of the family and was nursed
back to vigorous health after the
situation was reported to Regional
Game Warden Joseph Minke.
"Bambi," as the doe was named,
has been the particular charge OF
William don" Ryland, Is, and is
now so tame that she won't leave
the farm. The only reason Bambi is
kept in a barn when the family is
away is for fear she might be in
jured or killed on the highway. She
wanders into the woods at times but
always comes back First fed on
milk, the doe now drinks water, likes
regular cattle feed and eats her fill
of green things when outdoors. For
a candy bar she will stand on her
hind legs.

Educational Allowance

At a hearing before Chief Judge
William A. Hustler in the Circuit
court here last Friday, the education
al allowance for Daniel E. Offutt,
III, was increased to $4,000 annually
Mrs. Offutt had filed petition
asking the court to increase the al
lowance by $1,000, which would have
made the figure $4,000, but Judge
Hustler set the increase at $500. At
the hearing Mrs. Offutt testified in
support of the increased allowance.
Mrs. Offutt receives $4,000 yearly
for herself. The boy, who attended
Hun school in Princeton, N. j., last
year, is preparing to enter Princeton

and attorney for the trustees of the
estate of the late D. Edward Offutt.

Neil C. Fraley, trustees of the estate
and guardians of the estate of Daniel

increase in the boys education al
lowance as asked by his mother. He
declared they did not ask the court
to set any specific amount for the in
crease but did point out to the court
that they opposed wasting the estate
