Lake Association
Seeks Assembly Help
In Tipping Fish Life

The legislative committee of the
Deep Greek Lake Property Owners
association, is seeking material in
crease in the number of fish to be
placed in the lake during this fiscal
year. Several members this week
wrote to the Garrett County members
of the General Assembly.
The associations feelings in the
matter were aired by w. B. Mehring,
F. C. Clayter, and T. G. Bennett, leg
islative committee, and major por-
ton of the letter follows:
The Association recognizes and APP
preciates the interest and activities
of the Game and Inland Fish Commits
sion of Maryland in its continued eff
forts to determine measures for the
proper Stocking" of the lake, and
adequate protection of the interests
of all concerned The program of the
Association is in accordance with the
policies as set up at the meeting held
in Cumberland during last October.
Deep Greek Lake, although located
within the borders of Garrett county,
is really a contribution of the State
of Maryland to its citizens and those
of nearby areas in one of the most
beautiful settings of Natures wonder
land. This has caused many persons
from many parts of the country to
visit the Lake and has been respon-
sible for the building of nearly one
thousand attractive cottage homes in
the Lake region. Such development
has greatly increased the revenue Of
Garrett county, provided recreation
al opportunities for its residents and
developed favorable public opinion
as to the great possibilities of the
Lakes future.
One of the great pleasures sought
by most visitors, guests and residents
is that of fishing, as can be supported
by the number of fishing licenses sold
during the last fiscal year. However,
it is to be deeply regretted that great
majority of these persons leave the
lake with either very small catch
or not any at all. One fish, Of about
fourteen inches in length, usually
calls for a celeb. 1tion.
The association believes very
definitely that, because of the in
creased revenues to the County and
the control exercised by the State in
the management of the lake, trust"
is hereby created in which respon-
sibility is set up to correct this de-
ficiency, that real catches" of fish
may be had for most of the Lakes
people, and to the end that the State
of Maryland may have developed for
its own residents and its guests one
of the finest fishing grounds in the
East.
The committee proposed that the
General Assembly members prepare,
introduce and pass legislation during
the special session requesting $4,000
rainbow trout and bass (either little
mouth or white) be placed in the lake,
that sufficient number of food fish
be added and that groups for feeding
and breeding be provided for survival
of such fish from year to year.

OUR SCHOOL AT NIGHT

Shirley Tru6esv o Phebe Cooper
During the holidays, our school
had an off-season spring clean
ing. The tiled floors were washed
and waxed until they shone; all
desks and shelves were busted and
put in order. The floor of the
girls gym was cleaned consid-
erably.
All this prepared our school for
its busy night life which includes
adult classes. P.T.A.. plays. chorus
rehearsals. and variety shows.
The adult classes are being held
Monday. Tuesday, Wednesday. and
Thursday nights. Classes in plumb
ing. shorthand, and tipping are
held.
The P.T.A. holds its regular
meetings, as well as executive
board and homeroom parents meet
ings. The regular meetings are
held on the third Tuesday of each
month, while the executive board
meeting meets on the second Mon
day and the homeroom parents
organization usually meets on
Thursdays.
The Senior Class has already
given its first play and viii soon
be planning the second play to be
given in the spring. The Mon
roe County Classroom Teachers
Association has already given a
play, which kept several of our
faculty members busy rehearsing
at nights in the auditorium. The
Junior Class will soon begin pract-
ices for the variety show to be
given in March.
During the months of November
and December the High School
Chorus was rehearsing every Tues
day and Thursday night for the
Christmas Vespers. They will soon
begin practice on the Easter Yes
pers program.
Friday nights are often dance
nights. The Senior Student Council
sponsors dances in the patio of the
school.
So If you see lights on at our
building every night of the week.
YOU will know that somebody is
busy at work even though school
was dismissed at three o'clock.

Department sent teachers on cul-
tural mission. The purpose of this
mission was to counterfeit Russian
Influence from the north. He was
hired by the Afghan government in
194S.
Upon leaving the United States
he took a ship to Bombay. India
and then ship to Karachi, Pakis-
tan. Upon arriving in Pakistan, he
took train to Peshawar, then
went to Kabul by truck and bus. He
then started for Kandahar by ca
mel and rode on horse drawn carts.
The road from Kabul to Kandahar
was so bad that it took two days
and three nights, even though Kan
dahar was just two hundred and
fifty miles from Kabul.

He arrived in Kandahar, Afghan
istan where he was the only white
man. He taught at the Ahmad
Shah Baba College which he found
in very poor condition without any
equipment whatsoever. These peo-
pie couldn't speak the English
language nor could Mr.. Ertzman
speak theirs. What was there to do
but to teach them his language. He
began by showing them different
objects and calling the letter by
name. After they learned this he
taught them phrases. Mr.. Ertzman
says, that when he left after a
years stay In Kandahar, which is
south of Kabul, the capital of AT
ghanistan. the people we're speak
ing with a third garder's vocabu-
larry and as an ordinary third grad
er would speak.
The people were very good peo-
pie and they were fine students
It seems strange to find that
thy have never been touched by
Christianity. Another strange thing
is to find that they still practice
he ancient cusom of "Purdah, )"
the covering of a woman's face
with veil.
As the living conditions were very
poor and the food not as desirable
as American food there was the
possibility of physical harm. This
prompted Mr.. Ertzman's return
to the United States.
Since Mr.. Ertzman has Travelled
to almost everyplace he has man
aged to find his way to Key West
and the Key West High School. He
is helping to make fine dramatics

hope he will stay much longer then

unbearable to the teachers and our
school would not run smoothly and
efficiently.

with Mrs. WellonS as she was our
sponsor and teacher in the ninth
grade before she retired from
teaching. Her office is in the
Junior High building at the left
Of the main entrance. Mrs WellOnS
finds her new job very interesting
after her years of teaching stu
dents. The students come to her
at certain periods of the day with
numerous excuses to leave school
or requests to be admitted to class.
Some of her other duties are to
register new students. take and
make te.epohne calls, receive
money and bank it, keep the ac-
counts of all school activities, and
answer hundreds of questions. She
is assisted by her student staff,
who do tipping, take calls, and file
records.
Mrs, Fryzel is no stranger to
Key West High, either. A native
Conch and graduate of our Alma
Mater, she feels at home here. She
takes care of the schools official
correspondence for Mr.. Schweit-

busy all day long.
This year attenda'a is in the

We left Key West at us Thurs

posed to register from 900 to
HOO SO we just made it. We
registered in the office and the
hostesSes gave us little pins with
a door and lock on them. The
inscription on the door read, The
door to success. What puzzled us
was the lack of a key to unlock
the door
We were shown the new build
ings-the library, the cafeteria, the
gym, the little theater, and the
recreation room. At Jackson they
have a swell recreation room with
records and monographs, benches
and chairs along the wall, and a
coke machine
They also have a public address
system combined with clocks in
every room. AT any time announce
ments may be made in every class
at the same time.
We ate luncheon in the home
economics rooms. The lunch con-
sisted of baked ham, candied vans,
string beans, rolls, ice tea, celery,
pickles, radiShes, and apple pie.
After lunch we went to the audi
forum where we saw an excellent
talent show presented by some
Jackson students. We then had
business meeting with South
Broward Student Council acting as
president and secretary. The
meeting closed after about thirty
minutes.
We then went into the business
section of Miami and did some
shopping. We left Miami about
