Beavers Returning
To Garrett County

(Contiued from Page One)
1910 from the Laurel Run section. The
animals had apparently migrated from
West Virginia. In the past ten years
their population increased to such an
extent that % or 30 dams had been
built on the run, which is only about
8 miles long. These dams provided
favorite haunts for speckled brook
trout, which Warden Cook said had
reached a nice size.
But in recent months, the Kempton
mine has been shut down and neglect
has caused it to fill with water. This
water, highly sulphurous in content,
has been draining out into the run
through an air shaft, causing the
beaver to move, bag and baggage, and
killing every last trout.
How many beaver in Garrett county =?
About 300, Mr. Cook estimates, al
though there could be many more.
And more are coming on every year.
Beaver reproduce rapidly if left alone
and the stiff game laws give them
plenty of privacy. There is absolutely
no open season on beaver in Maryland.
although Mr.. Cook indicated that if
the beaver population increases as It
has been, there is a chance in the dis
tant future that few days trapping
will be sanctioned.
Landowners in the county haven't
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1951-04-12

complained yet about any damage
beaver have incurred on their tim
Der. Actually the damage is slight
and localized around the stream. One
Tucker countian who lives in Canaan
Valley had a special case, however.
His stand of pines which he intended
to sell as Christmas trees fell flood
victim to the beavers dam. He stirred
things up among game officials who
finally gave him permission to trap
25 Of the ntruders. He bagged them
in short order, used seven for coat
for his wife and sold the remaining
II at profit greater than what he
would have gotten for the pine trees.
The moral of this is that beavers
are just naturally good to have around,
They not only build lakes that invite
the return Of trout to our county, but
will give the landowner a tidy little
nest egg if ne uses foresight enough
to protect them now and let them
IllultiPly bIlbII NlNIl GNftSOll - 'tCNl tNt'
Prime beaver pelts bring $50 on to-
days market. The average pelt around
$50 1t takes lot of years to grow
enough pine trees to come close to
the amount the yearly pelts would
bring.
Garrett isn't the only county in the
State that has beaver, but it probably
has more of them. Furthermore, it un-
doubtedly has the best accommoda-
tions. Landowners upon whose
property the beaver settles will do
considerable good for both themselves
and the county by giving the animals
as much protection as they can. With
the proper cooperation, Garrett county
might even return to the game and
fish paradise it once was.

Not long ago the streets were full of kids
wearing little skullcaps topped by tiny propelers
that whirled around with great vigor ein the
slightest breeze. AS likely as not it was this
sight that inspired some Navy researchers to
design and develop the one-man rocket-powered
helcopter that is now being prepared for test
flight by the Rotor-Craft Corporation of Glen
dale, California
The machine-known as the "Pinwheel Prof.

and at speed Of about 80 miles an hour.

be little doubt that such machine-if it proves
to be workable-will have far-reaching effect
on our civilian society. Housewives will go shop

from home to office and back again. Fugitives
from television programs will be able to slip out

There are those it is true. who will take a

over the rooftops and in general making nui-

staff via an Intermediary in the JCS
Secretariat."
Traditionally the Army had been dis
ciplined to operate on the assumption
that military plans and their execution
could - and presumably should - be
segregated from staff work on other
aspects of national policy.
When Army forces began to arrive
overseas, however, 1t became obvious
that foreign affairs had to be taken into
calculation with military plans. Gen.
Eisenhower's problem with Admiral Dar-
Ian In North Africa was case in point.
! Staff officers became increasingly
aware Of the need for liaison with the
State Department. But. according to
the book, there were difficulties here
just as there were with the White House.
Late in May. 1943, the then recently
established Joint War Plans Committee
recommended that State name part
time representative to advise In drafting
important papers since it was "impos-
sible entirely to divorce political con-
siderations from strategic planning"
There were other similar recommen-
dations. but when nothing came of them
efforts in that direction were given up.
AS an alternative more emphasis was
put on the relations between the Joint
Chiefs of Staff and the White House,

Their greatest disappointment is that
too often they do not have it.
Ones vocabulary Is too large. that Is
all. @ ss
One book, for instance. contains "fer-
rule" but not "feral."
And so it goes.
If one does not know "feral," the only
thing to do is to look it up in a more
complete dictionary.
It means wild" so there you are.

He will not find 1t in any one of three

He finds "protoplasm" in all three, as
follows:
No 1.-The colorless, jelly-like, living
substance in plant and animal cells
No. 2-The substance Of which all
animal and plant cells are composed.
No. 3--Living substance Of all plant
and animal cells.

Pretty complete agreement there!
Prothonotary, by the way, means
chief notary or clerk.
It's best modern use Is as the title OF
bird, the prothouotary warbler.
This is the famous species that got
mixed up with the Hiss case.

Sometimes the word is spelled pro-

A charge leveled against modern ele-
mentary schools is that they do not
teach the children to spell.
One wonders If they ever did.
There always were good spoilers and
poor spoilers, to say nothing of indiffer-
ent ones.
To spell we'll, either then or now,
called for something more than just a
word list and teacher and pupil.
It demands, now as 1t did then, that
he who spells be interested in spelling
correctly.

The word is the beginning, and into
it must go definitions as we'll as spelling,
and also derivation.
Word derivation at one time was well
taught in the schools An old book,
Swinton's "Word Analysis" was uni
versal favorite with pupils and teachers
alike.
Pretty much all that many persons
know today about the derivation OF
words. their roots, and so on, came from
that volume.
1t was good source. It told the
reader, for instance, that the word
"capricious" came from the Latin word
for goat" and meant leaping around.
One never forgets thing like that.
Our words and ways of writing have

Emphasis on Airpower

Coming from a man who at heart is foot
soldier, the urgent plea by General Bradley for
more airpower to meet changing conditions" is
especially persuasive. General Bradley told the
American Petroleum Institute at Chicago that
he is still for balanced armed forces but he
made it plain that there must be balance within
each branch as well as among them. To obtain
this balance in an era Of growing Soviet air.
power, he said America must "buy more air
power"-Naval and Marine as well as Air Force
power.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
did not minimize the continued need for strong
ground and sea forces. Both are highly essen
tial to our commitments under the North
Atlantic treaty and in the Far East-commit-
ments made in the interest of our own security
as well as that of the free world at large. A
re-examination of our responsibilities under
these commitments, he said, has convinced the
Joint Chiefs that we must start at once to
build up substantially more airpower" The
start must be made now he stressed, because
1t takes several years to design and produce new
aircraft needed to keep abreast of Russian de-
velopments. The decision by the jos was made
with foreseeable progress in atomic weapons
in mind and not without solemn consideration
of the effect of a large air program on the
national economy.
The decision would have been far easier II
American policy were to strike the enemy be-
fore he can hit us. Since our policy Is to let
the enemy strike the first air blow, we must be
prepared to detect and resist the attack-with
radar and interceptor planes-and to retaliate
as swiftly as possible. To do these jobs reason
ably we'll will require a rapid increase in Air
Force defensive and offensive strength. with
corresponding increase in Naval and Marine air
strength, General Bradley said. It is worth
noting that the jos chairman stressed the vital
role of carriers in the revised defense scheme.
eff it comes to battle" he told the conference,
naval airpower, based on swiftly moving car
riers, can strike at enemy forces and airhelds at
distance of more than 700 miles from the sea.
This year, in our recommendations for addi-
tional airpower, we are recommending con-
siderable increase in Navy and Marine air
strength" He pointed to the hexibility of car
rier-based aviation.
The air build-up will cost added billions at
q time when defense expenditures already are
at staggering levels. There seems to be no
escape from this burden, however, as long as
Russia and her satellites continue their aggres-
sive posture.
