High in Sky Today

Several persons at the County
Roads garage reported seeing a
peculiar streak in the sky this morn
ing, caused by some object travelling
at terrific rate of speed.

ed if it was a jet plane, or a comet.

head and it was travelling westward.

for about five minutes. There was no
noise, the object being too high in the

ing it were Bill Casteel, Dan Miller,

Local Radio Man
Picks Up Television

Orris DeBerry, local radio dealer,
has picked up televIsion in Oakland,
and is the first one to have accom-
plished this, as far as is known.
Mr. DeBerry recently purchased a
Teletone set, one of the smaller va
riety and has been attempting to get
local reception from Pittsburgh. Not
successful at his store he went to
Anderson's Inn on Backbone Noun
tain, on Tuesday evening and achieved
some success there. Last night he
connected the set at his home south
of town and received the program,
which he said was coming from a
ground station in Pittsburgh and not
from a hclicopter which had been
tried earlier
The pictures on the screen we're
not near perfect but distinguishable.
They improved after adjustments and
he listened and saw a western movie
thriller" later last night. He planned
to try to get some of the inaugural
scenes today and was hopeful that he
could improve his aerial to such an
extent that there would be clearer
vision.

Polio Contributions

A plea to all Marylanders to in
crease by fifty per cent their contri-
buttons this year to the March of
Dimes was sounded today by former
U. S. Senator George L. Radcliffe.
IF vastly increased funds are not
obtained during the current March Of
Dimes, the Foundation will be faced
with a terrifying crisis in the event
Of another outbreak of polio again
this year" Mr.. Radcliffe, state chair
man, remarked.
Senator Radcliffe urged that the
March of Dimes committee workers
in Garrett County do their utmost to
make the 1919 campaign the most
outstanding success since the begin
ming of the Foundation decade ago.
In all, last year Maryland gave
$260,939.57 to the National Founda-
ton, and Garrett County gave $4,000.

Maust Herd Highest
In Butterfat Content

The herd of Galen and Ada P.
Maust consisting of 26 COWS, was the
highest among herds of the Dairy
Herd Improvement Association No. /,
in the Grantsville area, for Novem-
Der, according to a report received
this week The total production was
1902 pounds of milk with 951.6
pounds of butterfat, with an average
production Of 692 pounds of milk and
36.6 pounds Of butterfat.
Other high producing herds were
those Of Sherman Beachy, c. O. Mil
Ter, Raymond Tice and NJ. John Yoder.
A cow owned by NJ. B. Miller was the
highest in individual production with
/ ,059 pounds of milk and SIP pounds
Of butterfat content. The butterfat
content among other high producing
cows totaled anywhere from 56 to As.
Other high producing cows were
owHed by Galen and Ada P. Maust,
z; Lawrence Bethel, ,; Jonas Ticc, i !;
Sherman Beachy, Raymond Tice, Al
len Maust, Elmer Maust, Crist Yoder,
one each, and Dorsey Guard, ,.
Owners Of the high producing herd
feel that after having completed two
years Of dairy herd Improvement test
ing, that they have accomplished
much toward a more progressive
dairy program. They pointed out that
they had been able to select heifer
calves from the best COWS, enabling
them to build up their herd through
complete records of the dams in their
herd. Some Of the cows they felt were
the best cows proved to be some that
needed to be culled.
The Mausts said their feeding pro-
gram was based upon individual
records Of each COW in the herd, en-
aiding them to feed according to pro-
duction which not only returns a
greater profit from each COW, but al
lowing production to be built up
through efficient feeding according
to the butterfat production of each
COW.
They said they had appreciated
the complete records received and
were glad that the supervisor was
willing to assist at any time with
dairy problems.

SEARCH ENDS FOR
Three LOST BOYS;
TWO FOUND DEAD
Third Youth Badly Frozen and
May Lose Feet as Result of
Wanderings Through Woods
Near Davis

A grim six-day search ended Tues
day as the frozen body Of Eston Carr,
9, last of three boys lost in Tucker
county, VIVA, between Davis and
Bayard, was found in the Beaver
Creek section shortly after noon.
The body was lying in a clearing
near a pine tree thicket mile and
half from where the body of Robert
Carr 7, was found Sunday and close
to where John Helmick, Is, was found
alive but frozen, earlier that day.
Nelson Rem, Bayard, discovered
the boys body
Hclmick left his home at Davis, w.
Va, last Tuesday with the two boys
on visit to their parents Mr.. and
Mrs. Eston Carr, who operated a
sawmill. Hclmicl was found on Sun
day on the bank Of Beaver Greek,
about ten miles north Of Davis and
searchels said he was incoherent from
exposure. He is in very serious con-
dition in Elkins General Memorial
hospital, and probably will lose his
feet.
The Youngest boy was found about
6:2O p. m, Sunday about three miles
from where the Helmick boy was dis
covered and it was determined he had
probably died Saturday night or early
Sunday, judging from the condition
Of the tiny body
The Carr brothers had been living
at the Helmick Home in Davis so they
could attend school. The Cars recent
ly moved to the Davis area from Deer
Park.
A searching party that totaled over
500 men combed the snow covered
mountain terrain ever since the
youths had been reported missing on
Wednesday. The search was ham
percd by dense fog and near zero
weather and the fact that the area
was considered very rugged.
The last victim was found lying
near log in the clearing and it APP
peared the boy tlippcd over the OBJ
ject and never got up. He apparently
had died before his brother.
Sheriff Crostcn who had headed
the search, said the three boys were
found in a perfect triangle, in the
Little Black-Beaver Creek area.
Throughout the search the Davis Vol
unteer Fire Department house served
as headquarters where searchers
were checked in and out aud fed.
The family has suffered a series of
misfortunes in the past several years,
according to the sheriff. The Carr's
maternal grandmother died ON Thurs
day. The childrcn's father lost farm
home and barn in fire several years
ago and Hclmick's mothers home was
burned to the ground last year while
she was confined to a hospital.
Pneumonia due to exhaustion and
exposure was blamed fot the deaths
of Eston and Robert Carr at a hear
ing yesterday morning at Davis.
An attending physician said John
Helmick was very much improved"
yesterday. He is suffering from pncu-
monia but was able to take little
nourishment.
A joint funeral service viii be held
Friday at , p. M, at the Church of
God in Davis and interment will be in
