Dedicated 10 Peace E.

Last Sunday morning forty Boy Scouts re-
turned from camping Deep Greek Lake As members of
two troops from Oakland and Cren these boys carry
ing out principles of freedom about which Vice President
Richard Nixon spoke the Boy Scouts the amboree in
Southern California less than two weeks ago
Mr. Nixon pointed out that the Scouts ARE the largest
organization of young people in any land dedicated to the
of peace and not organization you boys
chose to belong you not conscpted You have been
taught and have learned what is to be eeO speak
minds live your lives and worship God in your own
way"
What contrast to this guide of life when compared to
the RECOMMENDATION of German youth recent under
Hitler, and that which in Russia and its sub
jective nations.
Nixon told the that he recalled wildly after the
the bitter establishment the faces of the young
men who belonged the Naz Youth Organization Their
entire training had been geared to the vicious doctrine that
the only good conquer and kill and to impose the will
of the conqueror all subject peoples their souls and
minds had been wrenched from them"
What difference with Democratic youth who are
taught freedom and trained creatvey History has
shown that the free in test Of battle, is always SUI
perior to the egmented soul wherein freedom has been
crushed.
May scouts all over the world be taught the freedom
that exists in the American Boy Scout program

Lightning Skaters
Belfry, Walls of
Cove Church

Damage which is said will run
"well over 81 900" was caused by
lightning Sunday evening to St
Johns English Lutheran church at
Cove, near Accident, Sunday even

Lightning struck the tower Of
the church and followed two pieces
of spouting for distance of seven
to eight feet doing damage to the
roof and floor of the belfry. 1t
then penetrated a wall between
the tower and the church proper
swapping at least one of the larger
beams in the nave, and doing eX-
tensive damage to the walls A
stained glass window was shat
tered, and debris was strewn
through the yard surrounding the
parsonage of the German Luther
an church, which adjoins the Eng
fish Lutheran church property.
The storm struck the Cove area
about $50 Sunday evening, and
the Rev. NJ. f. FRANKIE, pastor of
the German church, made an in
vestigation following a bolt of
lightning which he felt had struck
in the neighborhood of the parson-
age, but because of the fact that
electricity in the area had been
cut by the storm he was unable to
ascertain the damage until the fol-
lowing morning.
There was no fire following the
bolt in the church and the water
damage was said to be light by
the Rev. Mr.. William Carlson, Ac-
cident, pastor of the church. Rev.
Carlson added that the damage was
covered by insurance.
According to the church an
nouncements appearing elsewhere

The report of the U. S. Bureau
of Mines shows a tremendous ton
mage of coal underground. But most
of it would be hard to reach and
there is a question of whether the
undertaking would be financially
feasible.
The drop in tonnage is a far cry
from the old days when this sec
ton was one of the first and i'm
portant localities where bituminous
coal was mined.
Since 1947, when production was
1145,961 tons, the annual tonnage
has dropped steadily
Employment has declined along
with production. Last year, 1856 men
were employed in the industry. In
1947, 1922 were working.

VI nv NuolllS PlONuOilOil
Frank 7. Powers, Frostburg, di-
rector of the Bureau of Mines, said
in a report that the large opera
lions, except for one, remained
closed. He presumably referred to
the workings at Crellin.
Of the county's total, 153,16 tons
were stripped, 62,539 tons we're pick
mined and 1852 tons were ma
chine mined.
The decline of the mining in
dustry in Western Maryland is at
tributed to several factors. One is
the drop in demand because of the
use of natural gas and fuel oil for
heating and power.
Another is the fact that most of
the easily accessible coal in Ale
gany and Garrett Counties has
been mined.
