No Cases at First
Juvenile Court Here

The first session of a juvenile
court in this county was scheduled
for last Friday morning in the
Court House, but there were no
eases, according to w. Dwight
Slower, States Attorney.
Associate Judge Morgan c..
Harris was in Oakland for the ses-
sion but did not remain long.
Slower said that one case was
scheduled but those called to testi-
fly did not appear. A rehearing is
scheduled later.
The juvenile court for this coun-
ty was provided in bill passed at
the General Assembly this year.
Under the new law minor iuve-
nile cases may he taken by the
States attorney before justice Of
the peace or trial magistrate, but
major cases will be handled by the
court.
Judge Harris in a charge to the
grand jury here over year ago
suggested that committee be APP
pointed to recommend some man
ner to handle juvenile cases. He
drew attention to the condition af-
ter several young boys involved in
cases were tried in the Circuit
court.
The committee was named and
recommendations made to the
County Commissioners Legislation
was submitted by State Senator
Neil c. Fraley and the county dele
cation to the general assembly
and was enacted into law.
The bill provides that the Cir
cult Court Judge shall act as Judge
of the Juvenile Court All records
and names are kept secret since
they deal with minors.

Straight Year Among Engi-
neer Battalion

For the second straight year,
making three of the last four, the
Company &C" IIillbillics have
brought back the 12fst Engineer
Battalion Honor Company plaque.
Rated on all around efficiency in
training, personnel, administration,
mess, supply and morale, as well
as soldering, the Company over
came a pre-camp handicap to win
the award. The 121st Engineer Bat
TALON was itself rated high of all
the component branches Of the 29th
Infantry Division, this year.
Besides the general high rating
of the company as a unit, indi-
vidual rating in the different MOS
groups helped pull the company
through. At a Battalion Review ON
Friday, July 10, awards were made
for outstanding records in the vari-
Gus competition. Brig. General Ev-
ans presented gold cups to Sgt,
Ernest Orendorf and CPL Fred
Thayer for best Assault Crossing,
and best Obstacle Squad, respec-
lively; Sic. Marshall Bittinger was
awarded the Miles trophy for high
craftsmanship in the battalion
with the Carbine. Citations were
read for Pfc. Galen Wilson, best
air compressor operator; Pfc.
James Sewers, best light truck
driver; Pvt. Frank Goss, best pio-
necr; Sic. Donald limbaugh, best
supply sergeant; and Cpl. Fred
Thayer, best individual demolition
man.
The company was rated high ON
the final assault crossing and sub
sequent tactics on the last day of
training at camp.
Training consisted of general en-
gineer work, assigned each day by
field order from battalion. Road
craters, minefields, river crossings,
bridges, roads, obstacles, and in
fantry tactics were some of the
problems encountered by the men
this year, under simulated combat
conditions.
Long hours, hot sun, little sleep,
chiggers, ticks and snakes We're
not enough to faze much less stop

County Will Have
Livestock Lab

That livestock laboratory
would be established in Garrett
county was announced last Friday
by the University of Maryland
Board of Regents.
The university will supply about
$4,000 worth of equipment and a
part-time technician. 1t is up to the
county or some other agency in the
area to provide the building and
other facilities, it was stated. John
II. Carter, county agricultural
agent, said in all probability the
laboratory would be established in
the Oakland area which would
make it equally accessible from
other points in the county, but the
exact place had not been deter
mined.
The action to have the laboratory
here was taken as a plea by Ed
ward f. Hotter, of Middletown,
chairman of the regents commit
tee on agriculture and master of
the State grange.
He said check with Dr. Arthur
L. Breuckner, director of the
states Livestock Sanitary Service
showed farmers in the western end
of the state were handicapped by
having to go long distances to
avail themselves of the services of
the nearest laboratory at Hagers-
town.
Turkey Growers Ask Aid
The move to have some assistance
through a laboratory was launched
at Accident last winter by the Gar
rett County Turkey Growers, who
sent a group letter asking for some
action. The letter was sent to DR.,
Breuckner who came to this county
later and met with the Board of
Directors of the Turkey Growers.
He then wrote a letter recommend
ing the action to the Maryland Ag-
riculture Board, eliminating in the
plea of Mr. Hotter. The Turkey
Growers here we're assisted by
State Senator Neil C. Fraley and
John II. Carter, county agent.
For a time, local growers had
sought help at Hagerstown Har-
risonburg, Petersburg and Nor
gantown. For time. they had de-
pended on help given by West
Virginia universitys extension ser
vice, but that now had been cur
tailed.
Such laboratory helps farmers
check their poultry flocks and cat
tie and swine herds for disease.
About half the Hagerstown labora-
tory's calls for help come from
farmers in Garrett and Allegany
counties, Hotter reported.
He said current estimates show
Garrett county has 100000 tur-
keys, 100000 broiler chickens and
increasing numbers of beef cattle.
"The need justifies the expense, >
Hotter said.
He estimated it would cost the
state about $500 a year to staff
the laboratory on a part-time basis,

Juvenile Court Judge Edith H.
Cockrlll said today she has the
authority to tell police what hap
pens to juvenile offenders in her
court and she would be glad
to discuss" an official request
for this information.
At this point, police don't know
whether the boy they arrest is
still on the street or in an in-
stitution. If it's the latter, they
don't know when he gets out
unless he escapes and they have
to look for him.
If another offense is committed
that follows the juvenile Offend
er's previous pattern, police don't
have clue to whether or not he
is likely suspect until they To-
cate his parents-Sometimes a
tough job in itself - or call
around the institutions.
Judge Cockrin said whether or
not she will grant the Police De-
partment's request for informa-
ton on the disposition of cases
depends on the purpose for which
police want the information and
what safeguards are put around
it.
She said police have never
requested the information.
