To Hunt Oak Wilt
Disease By Air

Maryland's Civil Air patrol will go
oak wilt hunting in this county. Oak
wilt, a dangerous forest disease, once
it is firmly established in an area,
was found near the Savage River dam
last month.
Seven trees, including red, chest
nut and white oak, appeared to be in
flicted in one location. Some of the
trees had been killed two or three
years ago, and two red oaks died this
year.
The CAP will fly observers from
the University of Maryland and
Department of State Forests and
Parks over 900 square miles of forests
in the area to locate infected trees.
William H. Johnson, district for
ester, urged owners of ailing oak trees
to exercise caution before cutting them
down. He said it was almost impossi-
BILE to tell without laboratory tests
to determine whether disease is ac-
tually oak wilt or simply some other
less harmful fungus that attacks oak
trees.

Bayard Sawfnill
Destroyed By Fire

The sawmill of the Layton Lum-
Der company at Bayard, w. Va, was
destroyed by fire early Sunday morn
ing, August %. Oakland and German
fire departments responded to an
alarm about 6:15 o'clock.
The mill was completely enveloped
in flames before the departments ar
rived and the mill, machinery, and
some lumber was completely de-
stroyed. Firemen were able to save a
quantity of lumber, but damage was
estimated at several thousand dol
lars.

the Oakland firemen were called
to the farm of Walter Hauser,

Contribute $4,000 For
Midwest Flood Relief

Twelve additional dollars for flood
relief for the midwest were received
this week by the American Red Cross,
it was announced by |. r. Rudy,
county roll call chairman, bringing
the total for this cause to $500. The
national organization had sought $3.50
from this county.
OF the entire amount received, $22
came from two Friendsville concerns.
The First National Bank of Friends
vile gave $40 and the Friendsville
Rotary club contributed $12. The
balance was received from five indi-
viduals in and near Oakland.
Additional contributions would be
appreciated, Mr.. Rudy said, and will
be turned over to those administering
help. An up-to-date report of the re-
cent flood throughout Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Oklahoma and Illinois, shows
far greater devastation than antici-
pated. 1t was estimated that $4,000
families need help. The Red Cross
said this was equivalent to assisting
in the rehabilitation of a city of 100,
900 inhabitants. 1t estimated that $40
million dollars would be needed and
asked for double the original quota.

property decided to the Town of
Grantsville for use as a town park.

today before Associate Judge Morgan
C. Harris.

park. But in 1949 another deed was
procured from the Dorseys, saying the
land was to be used for corporate pur-

whether Mr.. Dorsey had been able to
understand the conditions of the sec
ond deed and whether there had been
proper delivery.
The settlement made by the lawyers
for the case allowed a plot of land
1913 feet by 200 feet for use by the
fire department. The remainder of the
land, about two acres, to be used for
the park.
The attorney for the Town Of
Grantsville and the Grantsville Fire

Day was the fact that they had been
unable to contact a suitable carnival.
Should the date prove satisfactory,
there were indications that the home
coming week would be made an an
nual event
For more than twenty-five years
the Knights of Pythias sponsored a
Labor Day celebration in Oakland with
a parade in the morning and enter
tainment the balance of the day and
throughout the ensuing week in the
