The Homemaker's Corner
By MARY DOUGLAS

"And when they were come to
the place, which is called Cal
vary, there they cruciffed Him."
Luke 1888.
Tomorrow marks again the cruci-
fixion of Jesus, representing the
darkest deed in human history.
Sometimes we ask ourselves how
men who were responsible could do
such thing. How could they thus
treat One who went about doing only
good, and who was known for His
eentleness and compassion? How
could they cruelty the Son of God?
But before being too severe in our
Judgment, we need to recall the OBJ
servation of Paul as he wrote in the
book of Hebrews-that whenever we
do wrong, we ourselves cruelty
afresh our Lord and Saviour, and so
Our Father, forgive us for our
sins. Forgive us that we, too,
have grieved Thee and wounded
Thy dear SOn-Amen.

Builders Supply
At Terra Alta

A raging fire of undetermined
origin swept through Builders Sup
ply at Terra Alta yesterday. cutting
two-thirds of the building in little
more than AN hour. Exploding paint
and thinner sent flames high in the
air and shortly afterwards the con-
crete walls crumbled to the ground.
A firewall saved the remaining third.
Oakland and Kingwood fire COM
panies answered the call of Terra AL
to firemcn who did not have enough
hose to get sufficient water to the
blaze, the nearest hydrant being
more than four blocks away.

plant which makes windows and other
building needs, discovered the blaze
as he was returning from lunch. 1t
was conferred in the work shop where
the paint thinner was kept
Edward Pealle, manager, declined
to guess at the loss but stated that
insurance would cover about fifty per
cent. An employee reported that the
storeroom contained about $4,000
worth Of window frames and Win
dows. These were entirely destroyed.
The building was built in 1947.
Pcake indicated that the firewall
which saved the remaining portion of
the building received only passing
consideration when plans were being
drawn.

of Sebastopol, Calf, to be read at the
dedication of the new Ruth Enlow

Friends of the long ago and those
of later years, | greet you!
This is the momentous day when
you dedicate your Library, perhaps
the first and most pretentious one
ever erected in your fair county, high
in the beautiful Alleghenes. | am
told the walls and materials of your
Library are fine. Long may these
walls stand and reflect the intelli-
gence and culture of this generation.
May this Library ever be shrine
to which you may often repair for a
peaceful and profitable hour, and to
see the eagerness with which both
young and old read the worthwhile
books and magazines, and giving evil
dence that they appreciate this insti-
tuition which has come to their homes
as a head source of information.
l fain would be with you on this
glad day of dedication, but advanced
years (Mr. Enlow is 92) and the con-
dition of my health preclude such a
pleasure. But | am with you in spirit.
l trust a goodly number of you can
appreciate my efforts to make this
building possible for Oakland and my
native county, and at the same time
show my lasting love for my noble
wife, Harriet Beachy Enlow, and my
cherished daughter, Ruth Christine
Enlow, even though l may never be
permitted the pleasure of seeing your
Library and enjoying its satisfying
benefits.
May God bless and prosper you all
throughout long and worthwhile
lives.
Your far-away- friend
f. E. Enlow.

Jury Recalled To
Try Case Tuesday

The September petit jurors have
been recalled TO duty, and will report
at the Court House on Tuesday, De-
cember 10, to hear cases involving
Claude T. Selby and Ernest Ray
Frazee.

closed season. Under the first indict-
ment he is charged with shooting
Theodore Thoerig, game warden
near Friendsville, several weeks ago

ing stolen goods.

grand larceny. The charge was shoot
ing steer of John Beachy, Swanton

ings at the time before Magistrate

Mr.. Loraditch also heard testimony
this week in regard to Floyd Frantz
Jr., Owen Frantz, both Friendsville;
and Charles Lyons, Of Pennsylvania

with the theft of the steer from the
Beachy farm. Lyons was found not
guilty as he testified he was attend
ing a wedding of a relative in Penn
sylvania at the time of the theft
Charges against the two Garrett
county men were dismissed for lack
of evidence. They testified they knew
nothing of the plans of Selby and
Frazee and presumably went for q

neither helped them load the meat
or unload it and as soon as the car
returned to Friendsville they fled
from the scene, not wanting to have
anything to do with any violation OF
the law.
