Czechoslovakian Life
Discussed by Student
Twenty-Eight Attend AAUW
Dinner to Hear Miss Ludmila
HlavacOva

Life in Czechoslovakia and a COM
parison with the educational system
and customs of her country and that
of the United States were discussed
formally by Miss Ludmila Hlavacova,
Czech student from West Virginia
university, at meeting of the A.A.-
wv. and their guests last Friday
night at Pickwick Inn.
Miss Hlavacova, who is studying in
this country through an AA.U.W
fellowship, appeared just as anxious
to study our democracy, our way of
life and to know Americans as she
is to get the academic phase, accord
cording to Miss Ruth Keller, presi-
dent. Members of the club felt the
talk to be one of the best they had
heard in Oakland, she added.
Miss Hlavacova spoke informally
about her personal life and made COM
parsons of the two countries in
homes, conveniences, schools, politics
and historical backgrounds, but was
unwilling to speak of the present
situation in her country, as she de-
clared she was not a student of poll
tics.
The picture she gave of her fellow
countrymen left a feeling of admir-
alton with the group. The school sys-
tenn which is free to all to go as far
as their mental capacity will allow,
includes six years of elementary
school, thence to trade schools or six
more years of gymnasium" while
those with greater mental capacity
continue to college.
Her greatest comparison of the
two countries was the speed of trav-
Ell, with Americans always rushing"
while Eve still have time for lengthy
walks and to look at one picture for
a long time"
Love of art, music and drama
seemed to be on a high plane in her
country, with politics a definite part
of their school diet She declared pri-
vately that when it came to inter-
national politics that Americans
"haven't become students of the sub
ject."
Alta" cher nicknamc) is %, styl-
ishly dressed, considered attractive,
has had So years of medical work
prior to coming to America. She is
studying here for her masters degree
in English Literature which she will
receive in August. She is an "a"
student at the university.
While serving under General Pat
tons army for six months as an in
terpreter, she drove jeep and picked
up good bit of American slang
about which her professors at college
irk.
Her father, surgeon, who had
studied in Harvard and Hopkins, was
with the British underground during
the last war, was taken prisoner by
the Germans and executed three
years later.
About twenty-eight persons at
tended the dinner meeting.

limbaugh Is Named
Mayor of Oakland
Wins Over Stuart F. Hamill, Jr.,
in Spirited ElectiOn-CounciI
Members Are Reelected

Joseph w. limbaugh was elected
mayor of Oakland by a majority of
more than two to one, and confidence
in the town council of the past year
was expressed by returning all three
men to office whose terms expired, at
a spirited election here on Monday.
Hinebaugh won over his opponent,
Stuart +. Hamill, Jr.. 267 to 1903. He
succeeds the late Mayor A. G. He;en,
who died suddenly on February II,
of a heart attack
Harry L. Stemple was high man
among the council candidates with
255 votes, while Earl w. Shartzer,
with 225, and Ralph Pritts, with 2O7,
were reelected by fair majorities
over Robert w. Lohr who received
1873, and John H. Stevenson, Jr., who
received 179.
Miss Julia A. Rowan received 315
votes for treasurer. She was I'M
opposed.
A feeler vote on daylight saving
time preference showed a total of 1874
in favor of daylight saving time in
Oakland, as compared to 161 against.
The ballot question, which does no.
make daylight saving time manda-
tory, was understood to mean that
the Mayor and Council were simply
coaly ho af+ % ~ ~
regarding fast time during summer
months and would not necessarily be
governed by it.
Around 80 percent of the registered
voters or 3S7 to be exact, turned out
to express their sentiments at the
polls. Slightly over 500 persons are on
the registration books of the town.
Hamill, Lohr and Stevenson, mem
bers of the local fire company, ran on
a platform of a cleaner Oakland, eff
ficient and regular garbage and trash
collection, no raise in taxes, attend
ance at council meetings, a long
range street building program, i'm
mediate action on improving the
town water supply, and the prompt
construction of community build
ing and fire house.
The election was the most spirited
in several years. The hold-over men,
bers are DR.. f. l. Baumgartner,
Prentice DeBerry and Edward
Schmidt. The council will organize at
the regular meeting in April

SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT TELLS
OF PLANS FOR GARRETT COUNTY
R. Bowen Hardesty Discusses Overcrowded Conditions
and Outlines Steps to Be Taken In Near Future

Figures to point out the OVER
crowded conditions in cur schools to-
day, not only in Garrett county, but
throughout the state and nation, and
the steps now being taken to correct
this condition locally within the next
few years, were outlined by R. Bowen
Hardesty assistant superintendent Of
schools at a dinner meeting of about
rs members of the Boosters club
Tuesday evening in the William
James hotel.
Mr. Hardesty was also principal
speaker at the regular meeting of the
Oakland-Mt. Lake Lions club this
week, at which time he spoke in SINH
lar VEIN
Mr. Hardesty pointed out that in
creased school cnrollments and halt
ing of construction work in the last
few years had forced schools to make
use of classrooms in rented dwellings,,
Railways, Easements and Libraries.
One high school rents a gymnasium
from nearby West Virginia school,
and has no shop. Another uses a
stage for classrooms. Shops of all
high schools except one are Tempo
rary structures. Libraries of all high
schools are substandard, with too
small rooms.
Only two high schools, he said,
have space to provide guidance
room, which he termed so essential in
a modern school. Only three of the Al
schools in the county house cafeterias.
These and other crowded conditions
were outlined and in addition children
are being educated in poorly lighted
one-room buildings heated by coal
stoves with outside toilets and pumps.
All these conditions and problems
in this county were not unlike those
of other counties of Maryland which
are also undertaking enormous build
ing programs.
Other Courses
Other agencies contributing to
future over-crowded conditions and Il
need for speeding up a countrywide
building program were stated as
follows:
l. $50 seventh graders who belong
in high school buildings, now already
seriously overcrowded, are being
housed in elementary buildings in
areas of Oakland and Grantsvillc.
2. The provision in our compulsory
law whereby some IA and
Is year old pupils may withdraw
from school has been removed by law,
1919, and will increase our
county enrolment approximately 100.
3. Children who are now in the
ninth grade will not graduate at the
end of the eleventh year in June,
1850, but will enter our new twelfth
grade in September, 1851. This means
an approximate increase of 293
pupils.
A. By law, effective 1851, elemcn-
tary class size must reduce from 35
to 80 pupils. This law alone will re-
quire more classrooms, but better
educational opportunities for boys
and girls working in these smaller
groups will result.
School house building cost in 1947
alone has increased 80 percent, and
the interest rate on bonds has
doubled. There is no indication that
they will decrease any in the next
few years. However, in the meantime

DANIELS VISION OF THE SEVENTY WEEKS
Daniel 9:24-27 Memory Verse Isaa
the Christian Catholic Church
Headqua Zion, Illinois

Not until the end of the
Gospel age will Daniels "Sev-
entieth Week" (of seven
years. take place, during
which time the Antichrist will
be revealed in confirming ga
covenant. ''In the midst of
the week." he will break
the covenant. This applies
to the first three-and-one-
half years of the seven
year tribulation period of the
Book of Revelation. The
Antichrist, as the Superman,
"the Man of Sin," will reign
as "the BEAST" spreading ode
ISOLATION" over all nations, de-
vouring 'the whole earth"
This "desolation" will come to
an end with the brightness"
of Messiah's Coming in His
glorious Second Advent.
III THE GLORIOUS CON-
SUMMATION FOR ISRA-
Ell REVEALED IN THIS
VISION. Verse "a; Isaiah
2: IA; IL: 10; 35: Ito;
62: II; Jer. %: 5, 6; 81:
GA; Joel 2:21-32; Rom.
II: 25-29.
In this vision, Christ's First
and Second Advents blend in
one; the reason for this
being that Old Testament
prophecy deals solely with
Israel. No notice is taken of
the period of the Gospel
Dispensation of Grace, since
the Church was as yet an
unrevealed mystery. How
ever, between the close of the
'Sixty-ninth Week" and the
beginning of the "Seventieth
Week" lies the long period of
the Church Age. The six de-
clarations of Verse "a will not
be fully realized until Christ's
Second Coming. Then, and not
till then, will Messiah bring
in the righteousness of the
ages"
