Bar Group Completes
List For Judgeship

The Maryland State Bar Associ-
alton, Judicial Appointments commit
tee, met Tuesday in Baltimore and
prepared list of eligible attorneys
for possible appointment to fill the
vacancy on the Fourth Judicial Cir
cult bench when Chief Judge William
A. Hustler resigns September II. Will
liam r. Offutt, Oakland, was men,
Der Of the committee.
The committee agreed, a spOkes-
man said, that the list would be sub
mitted to Governor William Preston
Lane by letter before it is made pub
lie. After Gov. Lane has received the
committees communication, then the
list Of recommendations will be re-
leased for publication, the spokesman
said.
Whether or not any Garrett county
attorneys are among those listed was
not known. There has never been a
judge from this county. Contrary to
publication in Cumberland papers, it
is possible for a Garrett county man
to be named, according to the law.
Newspapers there stated the appoint
ment must be an Allegany county
man.
While no one here seemed to feel
he had a chance for the appointment,
the law was made clear that it is pos
sible, just as it is possible for two
judges to be from Allegany county.
With the retirement of Judge HUI
ster on September y, and Judge
George Henderson still convalescing
from his automobile accident of sew
eral months ago, it is imperative that
a successor be named by Governor
Lane prior to the September Term of
Court in this county. Judge Joseph D..
Mish, Hagerstown, is the only other
Judge in the Fourth Circuit.

What Not To Do At Fire, or, Don't
Tread on Spectators Faces as You Leave

The citizenry Of Oakland, Mt. Lake
Park, Loeb Lynn and sundry farm
houses along the way turned out en-
masse on Monday night to watch
what someone termed ''the most sue
cessful fire in months" destroy the
barn of Harry Edwards, Jr., near
Loeb Lynn. Hundreds lined the road
at a safe distance to view the flames,
but some of the fearless and devil
may-care ventured as close as their
bodies could stand. The fire leaped
gaily into the sky, the smoke boiled
up in rolling clouds, leaving the spec
tators enchanted with the pyrogenic
display.
Then the gasoline exploded!
Flames shot high in the air, throw
ing burning timbers and red hot
ashes in all directions. The onlookers
Immediately changed their respective
lines of thought and developed only
one idea of getting out"
The grass was wet with evening
dew-so common to a summers even
ing-so consequently legs refused to
function properly. The dash for high
er ground was nothing short of mad.
One fellow slipped, rolled over, and
a passerby firmly planted foot in
his face, and without apology, he con-
tinued on his way, completing an So

Carnival Arrives for
Labor Day Festivities

Americas Most Progressive Shows
arrived on the former Helbig grove
on Monday and set up their equip
ment for a weeks run to herald the
coming weekend of Labor Day fes-

The shows have a Ferris Wheel
tiltawheel, terraplane, and airplane
swing. There are also two side shows,

w, AmVets, the National Guard unit,

Oak street, Third to Alder, Alder to
Second, then Second to Crook, with
the members disbanding at the carni-
val grounds.
Members of Boy Scout Troop 81
will assist in directing traffic and
parking. Since some of the regular
parking space in the grove has been
restricted by the construction of the
Memorial hospital, the town has Of
fered the lot beside the Coca-Cola
plant to motorists. The space will
hold about 40 cars.

yard trot in nothing flat. Another
fell, claimed he bounced, and sustained
a pair of broken glasses and lost an
Eversharp pencil. Another man step
ped nonchalantly out of his shoes.
And the kids just didn't have chance
other than serve as interference for
the whole impromptu scrimmage.
Trousers were ripped, nylons torn to
shreds, bodies bruised and legs were
scratched.
One chap did his bit by dauntlessly
throwing his car keys at the soaring
blast.
Several firemen who were chatting
near the truck prior to the explosion
took to their heels without further
word and ran full tilt into five
buckets of water, graciously sprink-
ling the farmers lawn in the course
of their withdrawal.
Then it was over as quickly as it
had happened.
The flames of the barn died to
smouldering embers, the sky changed
from glowing red to its natural blue.
And all that was left was the light
of matches, torches, flash and search
lights securing the area in search for
the many items that were lost in the
hasty retreat.
