Such a recommendation has given all JOLT and the first

the building committee, principals,
supervisors and representatives of
the press, and last night to those who
attended the public meeting in the
Oakland High school.
Details of the plan are contained
in the survey report of about 10
pages which was compiled by DR.. n.
L. Englehardt, Dr. Edgar Morphe5,
state department of education,
Florida; and DR.. Clarence A. Newell,
University of Maryland
Master Plan Outlined
The master plan was outlined at
the Tuesday and Wednesday meet
ings by DR.. Englehardt He pointed
out that at present there are no CON-
prehensive and adequate high school
facilities in the county, and that the
survey had resulted in program
which would give the county facili-
ties equivalent to those found in high
schools of many other counties in
Maryland, making possible an edu-
cational program which considers the
needs for all boys and girls. at will
provide adequately for the approXi-
mately Is percent who go from
graduation to higher institutions of
learning and also for the large ma
iority of students who have not
graduated in the past or who, though
graduated, have not been provided
with the facilities and equipment
which their work has required"
A chart in the survey explained
this, which showed that under the
new set-up, if accepted, there would
be 81 courses available in both high
schools, as compared at present to
only 1 5 now available at Kitzmiller,
or the Is, 10, % or SO studies avail
able in other high schools of the
county.
With education being more and
more tied up intimately with family
life and conferred around the COM
munity, DR.. Engelhardt pointed out
that only an adequate program for
every child would provide an enriched
economic and family life
The proposed program provides two
superior regional high school centers.
More than two would be too costly for
the county to support, the report
states, while the two proposed will
not be too large and can become
centers for the advancement of all
phases of desirable community ac-
tivities.
Dr. Engelhardt admitted that tic
county could conceivably continue to
operate all five of the present schools,
but said the continuance would mean
either that the schools would not be

Lets have football in Garrett
county schools" Jim Tatum, athletic
director of Maryland University, said
last night in his address to 1875 mem
bers and guests at the Oakland Boost
ers' club banquet at Mt. Lake Park

Mr.. Tatum stressed the importance
of teamwork as part of the training

studies. Few secondary schools in
Maryland have a football program
and therefore he had difficulty when
selecting a team at the University

Judge Hustler Gives
Four Decisions at
Short T ERIN Session

William A. Hustler, chief judge of
the 4th judicial circuit, rendered four
decisions in the short term, nonjury
session of court here on Monday.
The former postmistress of Vindcx,
Mrs. Myrtle Beeman, who was
charged with breaking and entering
a store in VindeX, pleaded guilty and
was placed on parole for 2 years.
Mrs. Beeman, States Attorney Slower
said, entered the store, of which
the post office is part, by going
through the package panel of the post
office. She was charged with the theft
of groceries, magazine, and a
camera which amounted to little
more than six dollars. As one of the
results of her misdemeanor, she was
relieved of her duties as postmistress
by the Post Office Department.
A second case brought before the
court was two bastardy counts
against James Kisner. Kisner was
granted suspended sentence from
serving a year in the house of cor
recton provided that he marry the
plaintiff to whom the two children
were born.
Jasper H. Ringer, %, pleaded
guilty to stealing an automobile
from Ralph Pritts garage in Janu-
airy, and was given a suspended SEN
tence of serving five years in the
Maryland penitentiary. Prior to his
arrangement before Judge Hustler,
Ringer had served several months in
the house of correction on various
charges. 1t was brought out in court
that he also had undergone three
charges while serving in the army:
two being the misuse of government
vehicles, and a AWOL count. In
view of the fact that Ringer is mar
ried, his wife expecting a child, and
that previous incarcerations have had
little affect, Judge Hustler said, the
sentence would be suspended upon fu-
ture conduct. No provision was made
however, for reimbursement to Ralph
Pritts whose automobile was dam
aged to the extent of about 5000.
The final case was a request for a
writ of habeas corpus in the case of
Golden Arthur Kirk, %, who is
charged with the murder of his STEP
father, the late Walter Messenger. The
petition was denied. Kirk has beer
held without bond since March &c
when the shotgun Staying occurred
He is scheduled to be tried by jury
during the September session.
