and brother OF former Police In

honest reports of their daily COL

away from rival operators.

Governor Terms
Controversy With
Magistrate Closed

Governor McKeldin has termed the
controversy closed between him and
Magistrate c. S. Zcllcr, Grantsvlle
following a letter from the latter eX-
planning his action in a truck weight
case.
McKeldm declared it was not his
function to review the magistrates
decision "but only to make certain
that there has been no official mis-
conduct. Certainly there is no evil
dencc to indicate that the magistrate
has not sincerely and conscientiously
endeavored to perform his full duty,
and the phase of the matter in which
| was interested is closed"
McKeldn had asked for a report
on the case wherein Zcller dismissed
a 7.1OO-pound overload charge against
John O. Riley, Accident, at a recent
hearing. saying the new Maryland
Truck Weight Law is confusing,
poorly written and hardship"
Zeller told the governor that Eat
no time have | held the law in ques-
ton up to lidicule." He said he dis
missed the case on the ground that
Riley's truck was not weighed in ac-
cordance with the law, which he said
uses the term "aXle load" without de-
filming it. The state has appealed the
decision.

one year.
When Ella was asked how she felt
about Garrett County school system
after she had been to college, she
said that she did not feel that the
system under which She graduated
was adequate. However, the new sys-
tenn which is being put into use now
is very satisfactory. She feels that
core is a very necessary subject. She
thinks that it makes all subjects
more interesting to the student and
it gives coordination to the subjects
which hitherto seemed isolated and
lacking in integration.
Concerning Garrett County itself,
Ella feels that not nearly enough is
being made of the tourist trade. She
says that there is no need for in
naturalization with the wonderful
natural endoWments Of scenery and
climate that we have. Garrett coun-
tvs natural resources should be used,
says Ella, instead OF importation of
industries. She also feels that with
wage rates low in the county and liv-
ing costs high, there can be no hope
Of stopping the migration to large
cities. If tourist trade were increased
and more money brought into the
county, wages could be raised and
the overall level of prosperity raised.

Ella Fazzalari Is
Subject of Second
Personality Sketch
BY TACY LEVERING

For the second one in the series of
articles featuring the ideas and
abilities of some of the county's
promising young people. Ella Faz-
zalali has been chosen. Right now
Ella is preparing to enter her senior
wear at the University of Maryland
where She has already made her
mark. This wasn't very difficult, for
she not only has a high Ia. and a
warm and friendly personality, but
she is blessed with good looks too.
She has wavy black hair and huge
brown eyes, and wide smile which
displays cleaning white teeth
Ella is the fifth and last child of
Mr.. and Mrs. james Fazzalari. She
was born in August, 1890, at their
home which was then on Liberty
Street. She attended elementary
school here and then Oakland High
School. 1t was while she was there
that she became active in All. She
won the dress review at the State
demonstration. In her senior year she
was local junior leader and a men,
Der of All All Stars.
She went on to college and al
though she undertook great many
other activities she continued with
All. In her freshman year she at
tended National 4-H camp in Wash
ington. Ella said that this was very
good thing because otherwise, IN
spite of the fact that College Park IS
only about six miles from Washing
ton she probably never would have
gone into the business Of serious
sight seeing. However the trip was
not all an advantage, for it was made
in the middle of June when the heat
makes Washington a national warm
ing pan, and their only means Of con-
veyance was their feet. Ella is sure
that she wore out or burnt out two
pairs of shoes tramping Washington 5
blistering streets.
Because of her interest in Home
Economies in high school she de
cided to major in the subject at
Maryland. She is president Of the
Home Ec. club at the college and
also heads the state club consisting
of Home Ec. clubs from all the
states colleges. Ella says that she
is constantly being used Every
lob connected with food, clothing or
homework is promptly passed on to
her because ELLA knows all about
that sort of thing"
During her years at Maryland she
has found new interest - the
theatre Unfortunately, here as every
place else she is used" When the
group presented Macbeth, she was
called upon to make nine costumes.
All she had was muslin and cheese
cloth. However with the aid of gym
tights and few extras borrowed from
around the campus, all nine actors
appeared in the finest Shakespearean
tradition.
Perhaps Elias highest honor was
her appointment to Mortar board dur
ing her junior year This organi-
cation, which selected only eight
members last year from the Junior
class, is responsible chiefly for
freshman orientation, and for college
standards and values. Never in the
whole history of the University have
there been over ten members from
the whole University body, chosen in
