RULING SET ASIDE
BY JUDGE Baker
IN MARRIAGE CASE
Mother of Former Army Ser
geant Contends Sons Marriage
to Filipino was Legal

A phone call to the West Virginia
Circuit Court at Morgantown from
his mother caused the setting aside Of
the mvalidation decree of the mar
riage of a Bataan Death March
veteran to Filipino girl.
Former Sgt Blair Robinett's mar
riage to Jesusita Torres Y Cordero
was declared invalid week previous
when he testified the marriage was il
legally performed in September, 1914,
declaring it was performed under
coercion by priest, although no
marriage license had been obtained
and no marriage certificate given.
On those grounds Judge c. q.
Baker declared the marriage invalid.
Upon reading the notice Of the de-
cree in an Oakland paper Robinett's
mother, Mrs John w Robnett, Cum
bcrland, said She called Judge Baker
ON Friday saying the couple had a
marriage certificate which she had
seen.
Judge Baker said he referred the
case to Monongalia County Divorce
Commissioner Hale J. Posten Poster
said the Judge signed decree at his
order which set aside the annulment
pending a future hearing at which
time a decree fair and equitable for
all parties would be entered"
From that day up to this morning,
stories concerning Robinctt have
moved rapidly, with generous pub

Morgantown, W. Va; Pittsburgh, Pa,
and Cumberland, and probably a
number of other towns. 1t is possible

Annual "Scout Week.

Members of Oakland Boy Scout
Troop No. 81, and other troops in
the county will be included in the
nations 100000 members Of the
Boy Scouts of America who will mark
the 39th anniversary of the organiza-
ton during annual Boy Scout Week
which opens Sunday, February 6, and
closes Saturday, February ~.
The theme this year is adventure
That's Scouting" and the activities
during the celebration will be related
to the theme.
With the Oakland troop having
come under new leadership recently,
the celebration will be limited some
what, but Lewis X. Jones, scoutmas-
ter, has made plans for parents
night on February 10, when the scouts
will rededicate themselves to the
scout oath and laws.
They will also attend the services
at the Episcopal church on Sunday,
February 13, and the following day
will be guests of the Oakland Mt.
Lake Lions club at the regular din
ner meeting at the William-James
hotel.
The programs of scouting, organi-
cation leaders say, prepare scouts to
face the future, helping to build a
new world with construction, not des-
truction as the goal.
Launch TwO-Year Program
Ceremonies in Washington on Tues
day, February 8, will open new
two-year program to Strengthen the
Arm of Liberty" by giving more boys
in Scouting richer experience.
Twelve outstanding Boy Scouts, rep
resenting each of the Nations boy
scout regions, will represent all
scouts at these ceremonies.
May Form Cub Pack Here
Indications that cub pack would
be formed in Oakland were expressed
this week also by several interested
citizens. This activity would not be a
part of Boy Scout Week, but fits in
with the program, since the cub pack
contains boys from 9 to ~, which
would move up into the scouting pic
ture upon their twelfth birthday.
Those interested said Earl S. Black,
acting scout executive, would send a
film to Oakland in the near future to
show them what to do in organizing
a cub pack. A "cubmaster" and several
den mothers" would be appointed to
carry out the work under direction of
a committee.
