House Committee on Approprai-
tons now 5 az it will try next
year.
But few far-reaching changes
are unencumbered by problems.
The Constitution, for one thing,
says the Presidents power of veto
applies to every bill" passed by
Congress. It doesn't say anything
about disappearing parts of bills
and signing into law the remain
der. And practice has taken &C.
count of this.
Hitching legistation-some out
rageous-w h ic h a President
would veto if he had a chance to
appropriation bills as riders is an
old congressional custom. With a
single amnibus b ! | he might be
faced with letting such riders 60
by or paralyzing the whole gov
eminent.
Logrolling, another Capitol Hill
pastime, is hard enough to bring
out into public view even where
it affects separate appropriation
bills. The very magnitude a n d
completely of one big measure
might cast too huge and dark a
shadow and the relative obscurity
of committee deliberations close
too many doors.
These are dangers which do not
automatically invalidate the plan.
But they are dangers of which
the American people and h e +
Congress should be W ell aware
before the plan is tried. First of
all. the old inquiry 8 h ould be
revived and pressed into possible
constitutional ways in which a
President might. veto individual
items in such a bill. If such ways
can't be found, they should be
created by constitutional means.
Three-quarters Of the states have
done so. It is time t he federal
government caught up.-Christ.

ONCE 4 YEAR

Suppose an American family
handled its finances like this: At
the beginning of each yea the
members were told in very round
numbers what their income was
likely to be; likewise, what fuel
and food would probably cost, and
what would have to be paid out
toward retiring the mortgage on
the old homestead. Suppose, also,
this family h a d an open line of
credit at a b a n k of which its
members constituted the board of
directors, and in which the family
fortunes were tied up.
So far so good. But imagine,
also, that this family then pro-
ceeded to make various new de-
cisions as each year logged along
to buy a new oil burner, to
throw a big banquet now and
then, to buy a new wardrobe for
Genevieve without bothering to
consider whether Percival's new
jalopy hadn't u s e d up all the
margin. (There's always credit
at the bank, you know.)
And then conceive, if you can,
that this interesting household
always made separate and later
decision as to how much actual
money would be drawn from the
bank each time to pay for what
it had already committed itself to
do.
Only at the years e n d would
this happy-go-lucky outfit be able
to learn just how it came out
whether Percival's roadster and
Genevieve's gowns should never
have been bought at all because
the price of fuel had zoomed and
the holder of the mortgage was
unsympathetically insistent that
he have his money.
Well-that's about h ow Con-
gress for over $50 years has been
running the finances of the United
States. And for what it might dc
to spread out b e ore Congress,
once a year and all at once, just
what funds it h a to spend and
what it actually proposes to spend
there is much to say for the single
omnibus money bill, long urged
by Senator Byrd, which the

Lincoln as Inventor

Lincoln was congressman from
Illinois when he received a patent
for "a device for buoying vessels
over shoals" The invention en-
bodied set of bellows attached to
the hull of the ship below the water
line. In shallow water, the bellows
would fill with air to buoy up the
vessel and float it clear. A wooden
model of the invention whitfield by
Lincoln himself accompanied his
patent application.

Christmas Shopping
Campaign Planned By
Chamber of Commerce
Fifty or More Merchants of Oak
land Expected to Compete

A 1949 Christmas shopping cam
paign, offering a large number OF
merchandise prizes and final cash
award was adopted by the Mountain
TOP Chamber of Commerce this week.
This plan differs from those of the
past two years, according to Wilbur
Close, president, in that no coupons
are being used for the awarding of
prizes. Circulars will be distributed
throughout the Tri-State area, carry
ing the advertising of participating
merchants. Each circular, he eX-
planned will bear number, and prizes
of merchandise will be displayed in
Oakland stores, also carrying a num-
Der. BY comparing the number on the
circular with the numbers on the
articles displayed, the shopper may
find that his circular number cor
responds with that on one of the
prizes. When this occurs, the custo-
mer may claim the article as his
prize.
The campaign will begin the first
week in December and continue until
Christmas, when a grand cash award
will be made on the basis of coupons
printed in the final advertising circu-
lar.
A meeting of committee members
will be held next Tuesday evening at
eight o'clock in the Employment Ser
vice office to complete plans for the
event. 1t is expected that so or more
business men will participate in the
campaign.

The new home of Mr. and Mrs.
Bernard Clark, on route 219, near
Deep Creek, was entirely destroyed
by fire of undetermined origin, along
with all its contents, last Saturday
evening, while Mr.. and Mrs. Clark
were in Oakland to purchase a circu-
lating heater.
The home had just been completed
and was not entirely furnished but
valuable clothing and personal proper
ty were lost in the blaze Diamonds
and jewelry valued at about $1,000
have not been recovered. A roll of
bills placed in a jar in the freezing
unit of the refrigerator was recovered
by firemen. Heat had cracked the jar
and flames had burned the edges of
the bills, amounting to $500.
The loss was partly covered by in
surance totaling $4,000 which had
been negotiated the day previous.
Oakland firemen were called and
fought the blaze but the house was
in flames when they arrived. The
above photo was taken at the height
of the blaze.

BRUTALITY TO
infant BY father
Being pROBED

A story Of alleged brutality 10y a
father to his five-months-old son was
being investigated fully this week by
county authorities, while the child re-
mains in an unconscious condition in
a Martinsburg, w. Va, hospital.
No charges have been preferred
against the father, aged %, identified
as James Walburn, formerly of Mar
tinsburg, who had been employed as
an insurance inspector around Nc
Henry for the past six or eight weeks,
pending outcome of the child's in
juries.
States Attorney Dwight Slower,
who has in his possession the complete
statement by the mother, gave de-
tails of the story.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walburn and their
two children, the oldest aged two
years, had been living in the cabin Of
Carl Harvey, near Point View Inn,
Deep Creek Lake 1t is being alleged
that on Saturday, October 20, the
father, according to the woman's
statement, struck him, slapped him,
held him between his knees and
squeezed him, in an effort, she de-
clared, "to keep him from crying"
Slower said they were not informed
of the happenings until the follow
ing Tuesday and that the baby was
in an unconscious condition at that
time. He and Deputy Sheriff Paul w
Fisher, who made the preliminary in
vestigation, ordered the man to APP
pear with the child before the deputy
state medical examiner, in this case
DR.. Thomas Lusby, in the absence OF
DR.. Z. l. Baumgartner. When they
didn't appear DR.. Lusby and Sheriff

Mr. and Mrs. Clark are residing for
the present with Mr.. and Mrs. Carl
Clark, nearby. They expect to rebuild
in the near future.
Oakland firemen were called to
four other fires during the week. A
few minutes after one truck had left
for the Clark fire, another alarm was
sounded, this time as the result of an
automobile on fire near the river
bridge.
Owner of the car was Norman
Sines, son of Jonas Sines. Authorities
quoted Sines as saying the brakes
went bad which caused the car to
run off the road, starting the blaze.
The machine was complete loss.
Firemen were called November 8
about 6 o'clock to Deer Park for an
other car on fire, but the blaze was
out when firemen arrived. They
answered a call to the home of Ken
meth Paugh, route PIG, on Novem-
Der A, at p. M, as the result of a
flue fire. Tuesday about 5:45 they
