WHAT TO DO TO WIN

Here's how you take part In this big opportunity! Every issue this newspaper will publish Alaskagrams in consecutive order, six each week for 12 weeks-a total of 72 Alaska grams.
 Each Alaskagram is a group of scrambled letters which form mean ingless words or n0nsensical phrase. After an Alaskagram Is unscrambled the letters form the name of a place in Alaska; how ever, there is one superfluous letter an extra, additional letter which is not needed to form the word.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1950-03-03

All you do Is re-arrange the let ters to form single word which is the name of place in Alaska, and you also show which is the extra letter. For example, the phrase FOR A CHANGE" when 1t is un- scrambled equals ANCHORAGE" plus the extra letter F.
 Just remember that all place. names consist of only one word and remember to show the extra letter. There is only one correct answer to each Alaskagram.

Fair Possibility
Discussed By Group

Around ty-five persons
gathered at the Oakland Elementary
School on Tuesday evening to discuss
possibilities of forming Garrett
County Fair association. The meeting
was called by a group Of interested
citizens upon the suggestion of
Joseph p Sollars, who prepared Il
letter for mailing ten days or more
ago to representative people through
out the county.
Due to the slim representation Of
farm people at Tuesdays meeting,
those present arranged for second
meeting to be held Tuesday, April is,
at p. m, in the Accident High
School auditorium, at which time all
farmers Of the county will have am
opportunity to express their ideas
and views. Many farm people are to
be contacted personally in the mean
time.
1t was pointed out at Tuesdays
meeting that Garrett county farmers
produce some Of the best products in
the country and that people in gener-
al do not realize it. The need of
publicizing the products that are
raised and to arouse a competitive
spirit to improve what products we
already have, are some of the OBJ
jectives of the group.
A committee was named to find out
from the State Fair Board the rules
and regulations necessary for having
state-supported bona-fide fair.
Suggestions for reviving the county
fair have been advanced spasmodic-
ally for the past two years or more
and Sollars said that those interested
now were confident that something
beneficial will be worked out.

County Jail Is
Given Good Rating

Garrett county's Jail received good
rating in the annual report of Wal
lace Reidt, jail inspector of the State
Board of Correction, which was re-
leased few days ago.
The report shows that most of
Maryland's county jails are becom-
ing better places in which to live, if
and when you have to live there.
Mentioning Garrett County Jail
specifically, the report says, "The
jail was found to be in a clean and
sanitary condition No bed bugs or
vermin of any kind were found. All
the plumbing was found to be work
ing properly. There were no COM
plants as to food"
Again the board recommended that
the prisoners be removed to Allegany
county and that the jail be used mere
ly as a lookup. At one time there
were lock-ups in Friendsville, Grants
vile and Kitzmiller, but these are no
longer used.
The jail and residence of the sheriff
were badly in need of painting.
The report acknowledged that with
so few prisoners most of the time it
is more economical to have it run by
the Sheriff than to have an appointed
warden take care OF it. The fee sys-
tenn for food being used was recon-
mended to be eliminated. The present
rate is so cents per day per prisoner.
Three meals per day are served.
