Sewers Artery In
Arm In Mishap

Paul Cullers was feeling very
fortunate on Monday, while on a
visit to Oakland. He was able to
wiggle all the fingers and even his
thumb of his right hand.
This was made possible by an oper-
alton performed last Thursday by Dr.
Thomas Lusby after Cullers had ac-
cidentally fallen upon sharp knife
and severed an artery, several blood
vessels and the ligamcnt leading to
his thumb.
Cullers had just finished sticking"
a hog in Thanksgiving Day butcher
ing job and was dragging the hog
along the ground when he fell. He
was rapidly bleeding to death but
stopped the flow of blood by holding
his left hand over the wound. His
mother, Mrs. Arthur Cullcrs, drove
him nineteen miles to reach Oakland
and the physician. The artery and
ligaments were spliced and the wound
closed.

Architect Estimates Two New
High Schools and Retention of
Elementary Centers AS Most
Economical

Approval of plan to retain ele-
mentary school centers in Friends
vile, Grantsville, Accident and Kit7-
miller, and to construct two new hign
school buildings at Oakland and the
Cove as the most economical of two
plans submitted by architects, was
given at meeting Tuesday night in
the office of the County Commission
ers.
The most economical plan was
unanimously approved by the Com
missioners and members of the Adj
visory committee, all of whom were
present but one, following a lengthy
session at which the architects gave
a detailed account of both plans.
As announced yesterday by R. Bow
en- Hardesty, county superintendent Of
schools, and Neil c. Fraley, attorney
to the board of County Commission
ers, two plans were submitted by
architects E. H. Glidden, Jr, and l..
X. Detmer, Baltimore.
In the first plan both elementary
and high school facilities were pro-
posed at Accident, Friendsville,
Grantsville and Kitzmiller, in addition
to a new high school for the Oaklan
area.
The estimated cost for this pre-
gram was in excess of 314 million do
lars, and the architects stated that
there was no way in which that plan
could be adjusted to a lower figure,
the high cost of the plan resulting
from duplication of facilities in all
five centers.
The second plan called for existing
buildings to be retained at Accident,
Friendsville, Grantsyille and Kitz-
miller, as elementary school CENTER,
but thoroughly renovated and put il
Al condition, and for the construc-
ton of two new high school buildings,
one at Oakland and one in the north
ern end of the county. The estimated
cost for this entire plan was $1,000
600. Mr. Glidden pointed out that this
estimate included the cost of land,
construction, furniture, architects
fees, etc.
The proposed high school at Oak
land would be capable of housing
around LOO students, and the one in
the north end of the county, around
1000.
1t was announced that the archi-
tects would proceed at once with
working drawings and specifications
that would enable bids to be re-
ceived within six months. The specifi-
cations would be such that one COM
pany might bid on the entire project,
or individual contractors would be
able to bid on one single job.
Mr.. Glidden said, that providing
conditions remained favorable, it
would be possible to have the ele-
mentary units ready for the opening
of school in September, 1850, but that
it would take from 10 months to a
year to complete the two new higl
school buildings.
He said the new buildings would
contain every facility necessary to
fill the educational opportunities for
the children of the county.

Deer Season To Be
Ushered in Monday
Will Continue Until Saturday
Evening, December 10, at Sun
down-Deer Plentiful

The annual deer hunting season in
Maryland will be ushered in on Mon
day, December 5, and will continue
until Saturday evening, December 10,
at shutdown During the open season
for deer it will be unlawful to hunt
any small game.
Many hunters already are prepared
for the opening day and IA number of
reservations have been made with
Garrett county residents. Hotel and
rooming accommodation are at a
premium.
There will be five deer checking
stations for the county, same as the
previous year, with total of ten in
three Western Maryland counties, ac-
cording to Lloyd Cook, district game
warden.
Those in the county will be:
Sheriff's office, Oakland.
Matt Storey's Inn, Deep Creek
Lake.
Quincy Murphy's garage, Friends
Vile.
William Biddington's residence, at
Grantsville.
Postoffice at Swanton.
Also it will be possible for hunters
to use State Police headquarters at
Westernport or the police barracks at
LaVale.
Several other wardens in addition
to Mr.. Cook and Leo G. Friend, will
be on duty next week Cook said deer
seemed to be plentiful.
Regulations remain as last year.
Every person killing a deer must re-
port within "a hours. 1t is unlawful
to kill any deer except male deer
having two or more points to one
antler. The limit is one per season.
All deer must be weighed and checked
before being cut up.
Hunting hours are from sunrise to
sunset which at this time of year are
from about 7 a. m. to 4:45 p. m.
Much Land Posted
Hunters will be compelled to watch
where they hunt as many property
owners have posted their lands, as
the result of continued destruction of
their property upon previous occa-
sions, and because of the apparent
carelcssncss which many of the hunt
crs exercise in regard to their use of
guns.
Protests this year seem to be more
vigorous than usual. Property own
crs claim hunters cut wire fences or
tramp them down, leave gates open
and are not careful in which direction
they shoot.

Attorneys Notified
Appeal Is Planned

Attorneys who argued for the
County Commissioners against Ron
aid E. McIntire, George E. Codding-
ton, Clifford Friend and others, who
had filed a suit here in an attempt to
stop the new school building program
received notice this past week that
the plaintiffs in the case were pre-
pairing to file an appeal in the recent
decision of the judges.
The judges unanimously sustained
the demurrer of the defense attorneys
in an opinion received by the court
here on November 10. An amended
opinion received this week definitely
states that the demurrer of the de-
PENDANTS is sustained, a phrase that
was accidentally omitted in the first
opinion.
Richard L. Davis, clerk of the Cir
cult court, said this morning that he
had received no papers that an APP
peal be filed. Compliments have I'M
til December 10 to actually file the
notice of appeal. The notice to the
attorneys was a legal requirement
preparatory to filing of an appeal.
Compartments are required to show
by affidavit that their intention is
not to delay action on the issue.
Should an appeal be taken, defense
attorneys said they would seek a
prompt decision from the Court of
Appeals.

LIONS CLUB MAKE
PLANS TO RAISE
FUNDS FOR LIBRARY

With the Oakland-Mt. Lake Lions
club accepting the responsibility of
raising $4,000 locally to assure $40,-
600 library in Oakland, the steering
committee lost no time in getting
activities underway.
Appointed Monday night by presi-
dent Denzil Bowyer, the committee
met Tuesday evening, and made plans
for benefit minstrel, the placing of
cans in stores for odd change contri-
buttons, and other activities that are
to be announced later.
The committee is headed by DR.. H.
r. Gibson and includes Joseph Sollars,
co-chairman; Herbert Leighton, sec
retary-treasurer; w. Dwight Slower,
s. T. Naylor, Eliza Bray and Harry
L. Stemple.
Bernard |. Gender, member of the
Library board, outlined the reasons
for the campaign and contributed
$4,000 toward the fund. He explained
that E. E. Enlow, of Sebastopol,
Calf, who had already contributed
$4,000 toward the library, would in
crease his amount to $4,000, provid-
ing $4,000 could be raised locally.
A review of the Library project
activities showed that the late F. E.
Rathbun had been actively engaged
in promoting the proposed library
over the past several years. First a
lot on Second street was purchased
by D. Cal Grim, of Cincinnati, a for
mer resident. Later a corner lot was
desired and the CAVITY property was
purchased adjacent to the Grim lot
for $4,000. Charles E. Hoye con-
tributed $1,000 toward the purchase
as did another person who did not
care to have his name used. The
County Commissioners then levied
$4,000 year for two years toward the
entire amount The CAVITY house was
sold along with so feet at the north
edge of the lot for $4,000, which now
leaves spot lis by 100, corner of
Center and Second streets.
Plans and specifications were pre-
pared and bids received several
months ago on proposed library to
cost around $4,000 but bids were too
high.
Mr.. Enlow has agreed to furnish
the balance of the money upon receipt
of information that local citizens
have raised the $4,000, Mr.. Gender
said.
With these facts before them the
Lions club members unanimously
voted to sponsor the campaign at
their meeting Monday night
The minstrel is planned for Febru-
AIRY 16 and IT, with all So members
of the club participating, and pro-
cecds will go toward the Library fund.
Howard Naylor has been named chair
man and rehearsals will begin soon.
The cans will be placed in the stores
in the near future.
