Red Cross Obtains
142 Pints OF Blood
Local Group Almost Reaches
Quota In Fourth Visit
OF Year

Oakland people came the near
est to contributing their quota of
$50 pints of blood for the Red
Cross bloodmobile visit yesterday,
but their 1922 pints was just ~
pints short.
The excessive heat for the day
may have had something to do
with the shortage, since 40 per
sons who volunteered to give blood
were rejected. Some of the rejec-
tions were for colds and tempcra-
lures, but the blood count was
down in a good many cases, con
dition that might have been favored
by the heat, said the officials.
Red Cross gave these statistics:
That 235 individuals were sched-
uled, LAT kept their appointments
and So failed to show up to keep
their appointments.
There were 46 watkins, 14S re-
1eaters. Three persons came in
specifically to return the blood
they had been given while patients
in the local hospital. Forty-five
gave blood for the first time.
This is the last visit of the
bloodmobile to Oakland this year,
but it is scheduled to appear one
more time in 1858 in the county.
The total for Garrett county for
the year is 431i. pints.

Mountain Top Hot;
Mercury Hits 95

The mountain top has been hot
this week, with the summer record
for heat set, but was relatively
cool in comparison to other parts
of the state and the eastern sea
board.
Starting last Saturday the max
mum was SO degrees with the
minimum so degrees. Sunday
showed the same, but Monday and
Tuesday reached high of 95 with
minimums 40 and so on those days.
The recordings were made by
Ralph E. Weber, weather observer,
south of Oakland.
Ninety-five was the highest
point for the entire summer, but
it has to get hotter before the all
time record is reached. Mr. Weber
said in August, 1918, there were
temperatures of 100 and 101 on
successive days.
Rain has fallen on two after
moons this week, which has wet
the ground and aided crops to a
slight extent. On Tuesday after
noon IL of an inch of rain fell,
and about the same amount We'd
nesday afternoon.

terday that they had been using
the reserve well for about two
weeks, but that the regular wells
were still holding up.
Some nearby farms were suffer
ing from the lack Of water and
farmers were hauling their water
from the town system. Others were
coming to persons with the city
water system to get enough for
their chickens and home use.
Some relief has been promised
for the weekend.

Four Cases of
Polio In County
Termed mild"
Latest Victim Is David Paugh
Age 3, of Mt. Lake Park

Four cases of polio among Gar
rett county children were being
treated this week, it has been
learned. Thus far, there are no in
dications of paralysis in any of the
children who were stricken, and
all are reported improving.
The latest victim was David
Paugh, three year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. David Paugh, ST., Mt.
Lake Park. He was admitted to
Memorial hospital in Cumberland
on Monday. The lads condition
was reported fairly good following
definite diagnosis.
Undergoing treatment for polio
at their home near Avilton, about
seven miles from Homecoming, are
two members Of the family of Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Wilhelm.
Stricken were John, 8, and Thel-
ma, H.. They became ill last Fri
day at their farm home. Both are
reported in good condition and no
signs of paralysis have developed.
DR.. John Love, county health Of
ficer, said the Wilhelm children
were under the care of DR.. Rich
ards, of Homecoming. Gamma globu-
lin has been given to the other five
children in the family.
Also in good condition in Me
mortal hospital in Cumberland, was
the fourth victim, Linda Harbosly,
five-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Harbosky, star route.
Frostburg, who reside in Garrett
county near Finzel Linda became
i'll August 20 and was taken to
Miners hospital in Frostburg the
following day. She was later trans
felred to Memorial hospital.
Authorities said that gamma
globulin had also been given to the
family contacts in this case.
Allegany county has had no re-
ports of polio in that county but
neighboring Pennsylvania and West
Virginia counties have had cases
An 11-year-old Mineral county Cir
was stricken with polio three weeks
ago and three children in the
Meyersdale area were stricken the
week before last. Somerset county
officials also reported a mild ease
last month.
All of the cases have been of .
relatively mild nature and all are
responding to treatment.
The disease is generally re.
stricted to the summer months anc
health officials term it reassuring
that most of the cases in this area
struck so late in the season
Normally few cases are reported
after the end of August.

'pudldted by many lake residents
who are members of that associa-
ton.
The telegram was released yes
terday by State Senator Neil c.
Fraley, who had been sent a copy
by H. Yates, president of the Lake
Property Owners. The telegram
notified Governor Theodore r. Nc
Keldin and Joseph f. Kaylor, di-
rector of the State Forestry de
partment, that the sentiments ex-
pressed represented some 400
property owners on the lake.

gested opposition to the state park
but that no action was taken at
the regular meeting other than dis
cussion. No motion was made or
seconded but the matter was final
ly left with the Board Of Directors.

the members, two men spoke against
the location, but the board OPP

mendation.

The telegram stated; "Represent-
ing some 400 property owners on
Deep Greek Lake, Garrett County,
Maryland, we are deeply concerned
in the location of the proposed
state park There are many obiec-
tions to the proposed park being
located in an area which will be
developed into valuable properties
or where it would depreciate valu-
able properties already established.
1t is respectfully requested that
definite action on this project To-
cation be postponed until oppor-
tunity is provided for further dis
cussion in this matter" The mes
sage was signed by the Property
Owners Association of Deep Greek
Lake, Inc, Oakland, H. Yates,
president.
Senator Fraley said this morn
ing he had been receiving numer-
Gus telephone calls yesterday from
members of the lake association,
saying they were not in accord with

of the group
One member declared she had
made 100 contacts yesterday and
that only two or three expressed
