Mrs. Sallie Fike, of Cordova, Md,
widow of Rev. Albert J. Fike, form
erly of Eglon, w. Va, and Grants
vile, recently got more than she bar
gained for while fishing off the coast
of Florida.
She went with a boat party which
left Sarasota on the west coast, for
deep sea fishing in the Gulf of MeXi-
co. She got bite from something
which she soon found she coud not
pull in. With the help of fellow fisher
men and after considerable man
euvering they roped and landed big
sea turtle. 1t weighed 1919 pounds,
measured 40 inches in length, "a
inches wide and II inches high. The
head alone weighed 49, pounds.
Since Mrs. Fike planned to leave
the next morning she was unable to
partake of the soup but left instruc-
tons that all her friends should be
served. There were 80 people at the
hotel to witness the Strengthening Of
the turtle which made 50 quarts Of
soup, with three buckets of meat re-
naming. Fifty-nine people at the
hotel had soup, % took some of the
meat to their homes. Mrs Fike is
shown standing on the back of the
turtle which carried her around as
easily as though it had no load at all
Friends in Florida cured the shell and
sent it to her home, according to Mrs.
Eta Bittinger Sanger, of Cordova,
formerly of Eglon, who sent the
above information to the Republican
office.

EXTRA $4,000
HOSPITAL FUND
MADE AVAILABLE
Executors Announce Amount Is
From Fund Set Up BY The Late
George w. Lear

That an additional 100000 has be-
come available and been added to the
building fund of Garrett County Me
mortal hospital from fund set up
by the late George w. Loar during
his lifetime, has been announced by
J. NJ. Jarboe and +. r. Jones, eXecu-
tors and trustees Of his estate.
Mr.. Loar provided in his will the
sum of $170,0O0.00 for the erection of
the hospital now nearing completion.
He further provided the sum of S.,
10000 to be applied toward the oper-
ating expenses Of the first year. This
additional sum which has now become
available makes a total of $4,000
from the funds Of Mr.. Loar.
while Mr. Loar made it clear to
those with whom he talked about his
plans for a hospital in Oakland that
he did not desire his name to appear
in that of the institution and wanted
it known simply as Garrett County
Memorial Hospital, it is certain that
but for his vision and generosity the
hospital would not have been pos
sible," the executors said.
The building is now rapidly near
ing completion, is already being used
by the superintendent while equip
ment is being installed and the
personnel chosen, the County Health
Department will occupy its new
quarters in the next few days and it
is. expected that in about thirty days
the hospital will be open for patients.
Those who enter this hospital,
whether as patients or visitors, and
especially the citizens of Garrett
County, should pause and give thanks
in memory Of the man whose funds,
supplemented by those so generously
contributed by various individuals
and companies, and also secured
under the provisions Of the Federal
Hill-Butou Act, ra4e possible this
modern hospital shortly to belong
fully to the people of Garrett Coun-
ty," the executors concluded.
Contributions
Individual cash contributions have
amounted to $1O1, 6l8.40. There are
still two pledges remaining unpaid,
one Of $500, and one of $50, ac-
cording to the chairman of the fund
raising campaign. Thus far through
the Hill-Burton Act, the trustees
have received 1921 ,366.95. The total
through this grant may reach as high
as $4,000.
