Before setting out, Keeper David
M. Pugh of Gull Shoal, sent up
two rockets for the twofold pur-
pose of calling his south patrol and
signaling to the people on the
stranded schooner that aid was

The us. Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics shows that clothing costs
in June 1851 were 104 per cent
higher than the 1859 average,
house furnishings 1l2.5 per cent

Robberies Continue
In And Near Oakland

Two more robberics were reported
as occurring Tuesday night, to add
to the wave Of such depredations that
have been going on around Oakland
for several weeks.
The two latest to be reported bv
Sheriff Paul W. Fisher were robberics
at the Garrett Truck and Implement
company and the Meyer Motor Sales,
both on route 219, Just north of Oak
land.
The sheriff reported $40 missing
from the Pontiac garage, and about
S. in silver from the truck firm. He
said they also got some keys at the
latter place, and also broke into soft
drink coolers and obtained some money
there. The person or persons went
through desks.
They gained entrance to the Garrett
Truck by removing glass in the back
door. In the Pontiac garage they en-
tered the basement and came up to
the garage level through a small open
ing.
The robbericS apparently happened
around $3.50 p. NJ, as Maurice Brook
hart discovered the entry about 9:3O
p. m. The other was not discovered
until Wednesday morning.
Sheriff Fisher said he was work
ing on several clues with other county
and state officials.
\ week ago burglars made their
third appearance in the A. d. Naylor
Hardware company and took some
rifles and pen knives and some petty
cash. Officers still are trying to trace
the trespasscrs.

BETTER FISHING
IN DEEP CREEK IS
COMMISSION aim
Inland Game And Fish Group
Confirms Plans For Increased
Stocking Program

Considerable Improvement in fish
ing conditions in Deep Creek Lake
were indicated this week in a letter
from the Inland Game and Fish Com
mission to the Garrett county mem
bers Of the Legislature, following a
meeting Of the legislators with Ernest
Vaughn, director at Annapolis re-
Gently.
The letter was written to confirm
the conversation which the local
group had with Mr.. Vaughn.
He indicated that the proposals
which DR.. Thomas G. Bennett and
members Of the property owners as
ISOLATION of Deep Creek Lake had
made, as we'll as others of the dele
cation were in line with the commits
sion's plan for Improvement of fish
ing in the lake for 1862.
Mr.. Vaughn pointed out that
James Charles, district fish manager,
had been instructed to establish re-
stricted fish propagation spawning
areas in limited and isolated zones to
the end that a maximum of fish
spawning would be experienced with
minimum Of hazard or hardship
to fishermen or power boats.
I'VE expect to place rock brush
shelters in at least 80 feet of water
to provide a safety factor of 10 feet
of draw-down and 20 feet of propeller
clearance on these underwater struc-
lures which should provide protection
and spawning areas for the pan fish.
We plan to renovate the McHenry dam
so that forage fish production will be
forthcoming this spring season.
Mr.. Vaughn also declared to the
county delegation that concerning the
haulagc of forage fish (gizzard shad
and golden shmers) for stocking the
reservoir that five thousand adult
fish, g inches or ,uIG.l. uHd rainbow
trout would be stocked in Deep Creek
Lake at three different dates during
the weeks of April Z, 81 and May 5.
These fish are to be purchased with
funds from commercial hatchery and
would be over and above ALLEGATION
for Western Maryland and Garrett
county.
Should the trout program prove
satisfactory, Mr.. Vaughn felt the
commission would be able to increase
the allotment on this fish.
