NepV Wood Turning Lathe
SUPPLEMENTS One>Man Business

Things have been turning out
better for Johnny Jones at his
workshop near Crellin since last
Friday. For on that day the furni-
ture member and weaver received,
from the State Department of Ed
ucation, a new wood turning lathe
to supplement the few other power
tools he uses in his one-man bust
ness.
The efforts of Mr.. Jones to be-
come self-supporting, in spite of a
crippling physical handicap, at
tracted the attention of the Gar
rett County Committee to Employ
the Physically Handicapped, and
his name has been submitted to the
State group for regional award,
given annually. This years winners
will be announced in December.
Jones was selected by the local
committee because it felt his activi-
ties were "a remarkable example
of a handicapped person overcom-
ing his affliction and remaining a
productive member of the COM
munity."
Born November 10, 1895, Jones
became a coal miner after only six
months schooling. He continued in
this business until 1947, when he
was mine foreman for the Stan
ley Coal Company at Crellin. How
ever, beginning in 1921 he began
to develop a spine affliction which
eventually resulted in the partial
loss of use of his legs. In 1887, the
Johns Hopkins Hospital reported
no hope of a permanent cure.
When he no longer could mine
coal, he decided to try self -employ-
ment. At first his income averaged
only several dollars a month from
such home activities as rug weav-
ing and chair Gaming. According to
Jones, his real inspiration came
several years ago while helping to
build the Crellin Assembly Of God
Church. When the new church was
finished, Jones rented the old build
ing previously used for religious
services and turned it into a one
man workshop, rendering an APP
parently unlimited number of ser
vices.

side Of the building calling atten-
ton to Jones Antique Shop" fails

Structure OF New
Dairy Barn Rises
Over Warm Ashes
Fire Completely Destroyed
Barn OF Harry E. Dew
ey" Rice At Pleasant
Valley On Monday

A disastrous fire early Monday
morning completely destroyed the
large dairy barn of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry f. Dewey" Rice, Pleasant
Valley, burned up twenty head of
cattle and many pieces of farm
machinery, but the ashes were still
warm when neighbors gathered to
help the family rebuild.
The flames were discovered by
two young men named Right and
Kitzmiller, who passed the farm
after taking a relative home from
Oakland, and it appeared to them
that the entire upper part of the
barn burst into flames at once.
They reused Mr.. and Mrs. Rice,
who called the Oakland Fire De-
partment and spread the alarm.
Destroyed along with the herd of
dairy cattle valued at $4,000 were
an undetermined quantity of hay
and straw, at least $1,000 worth
of grain, most of the dairy equip
ment, a new manure spreader,
tractor, corn planter, cultivators,
and other farm equipment. The
dairy herd was considered of good
stock, some of the animals eligible
to be registered.
Firemen and neighbors succeeded
in salvaging some grain, milk
cooler, and some mixer units, but
the intense heat kept the men from
saving anything else.
Mrs. Rice said there had been
no electricity in the barn since
about 5:45 Sunday night and the
cause of the fire was not deter
mined. 1t was thought to have beer
from spontaneous combustion in
the hay.
She said the loss was only par
TALLY covered by insurance, but
Wednesday morning there were
neighbors and other friends at the
farm ready to begin work on a new
barn.
Mrs. Rice was busy this week
expressing her deep thanks to the
Fire Department members, and the
neighbors and friends who were of.
fering their assistance in the new
construction project.
Second Alarm
Oakland firemen also were called
to the home of Mrs. Gladys Field
near the American Legion home
on Monday afternoon. Sparks from
fireplace chimney had ignited d;
Single roof. Two holes wer,
burned in the roof before tn,
flames were eXtinguished.

County By-Passed
In Weekend Snow

Garrett county was practically
by-passed by the weekend snow,
with II inches in Delaware, five
to six inches in the Baltimore area,
but only about an inch on the Mt.
Top. A severe storm dashed the en-
tire east coast.
The county was caught in frecz-
ing temperatures Saturday and
Sunday, however. Not enough snow
fell to call for the use of snow
plows, but there was some cinder-
ing of the highways on account of
ice.
