They Took The Stove
But Left The Pipe

Cold weather over the weekend
proved too much for somebody, and
on Monday morning stoves were
reported missing from two public
buildings in the northern part of
the county.
First to be missed was large,
200-pound coal stove at the Bit
finger school. Principal Ralph
Bucket reported that he entered the
building early Monday morning to
light the fire, and was amazed"
to find the stove gone. A trail of
ashes led out the front door, and
he assumed that the burglars had
forced the lock on the door and
loaded the Burnside on truck.
Stove pipe, coal bucket and pokers
were not taken, and nothing else
in the building was missing, he
said.
The second theft also occurred
over the weekend, when an oil
burner was stolen from the former
Fairview school, near New Ger
many. The building is now used
for religious services and is about
five miles from the Bittinger
school.

County Gets
Taste of Winter

Garrett county's first real snow
of the year fell yesterday, giving
an indication of what is to come.
Blizzard like weather prevailed
with the snow piling into drifts
and making highway travel hazard
Gus. Around three to four inches
of snow fell in some sections of
the county and temperatures re-
manned below the freezing mark.
Drifting was more prevalent on
some county roads where the snow
fences have not yet been erected.
Tons of that salt-like material
were moved to the area and some
of it distributed on the hills by the
State Roads Commission. On route
40, cinders were being blown from
the highways and heavy traffic
was being halted due to the icy
roads.
There was also some snow on
Sunday with the weather turning
colder Monday with more snow
falling also Monday night and
Tuesday.

School Journalists
To Present Play
Next Tuesday Night

Sing for your Supper" a three
act comedy, will be presented by
the journalism class of Southern
High school next Tuesday evening,
November 9, at 8 o'clock p. m, in
the high school gymnasium.
Although the play is about teen
ayers, those in charge say the
scenes also will appeal to adults,
especially to parents of the teen
age set. Much Of the action is
humorous but there are scenes
which tend to show the serious
thinking of the adolescent.
Leading roles in next Tuesdays
performance will be taken by Nan
cy Jones and D. f. Lane. Nancy
plays the part of Susan Piper, a
sensible career girl until the end
of the play when She finds she is
not so sure about the career. D.
F. takes the role of Stephen Foster
Brown, young musician who is APP
plying for a teaching position in
the high school but who finds his
task of getting the job complicated
by a mob of bobby-soxers who
think he is the mystery crooner.
Nh Piper, who thinks he is boss
of the family, is Sam Ashenfelter
Mrs. Piper, who knows she is boss,
is Joann Hollen. Laurette, their
frivolous daughter, is Mary Jane
Browning. Pinky, their youngster
daughter and the brat" in the
play, is portrayed by Janet Paugh.
Other characters include Jane Glot-
felty, Pete johnson, Jack Rolfe,
Pat Gortner, Dolores Vetter, Jean
Sharpless and Douglas Smith. The
bobby-soX brigade is made up of
Mary Holtschneider, Rayetta Han
lin, Helen Metz, JoAnn Echard,
Kay Hanlin and Mary Ann Nally.
The play is under direction of
Miss Roberta NJ. Cogley, class in
structor.
Admission is 40 cents for adults
and 80 cents for students. Proceeds
will be used in financing THE
Acorn" school newspaper, and
''The Highlander" school yearbook.

Two Weeks Payroll
For Roads Employees
Reaches S19,588.56

The two weeks payroll for Gar
rett County Roads employees hit an
all-time high this past period with
a total Of $19,588.56, it was re-
ported by w. w. Dewitt, county
roads engineer.
That amount of money was dis
tributed among las regular en-
ployes and So workers on a part
time basis. Those on part-time have
been employed by the roads de-
partment for the past five weeks.
Much additional work was made
necessary in the county in the past
two weeks on account of the heavy
damage due to flood waters.
The construction on the bridge
over the Youghiogheny river at
Swallow Falls has been delayed for
about ten days due to the addition
al amount of work in other areas.
The bridge was due to be open to
traffic by November /.
Mr.. Dewitt said that the total
payment to county roads employees
for salaries last year amounted to
$325,O00.

MCkeIdin Reflected Governor
In Heavy BaIIOting Tuesday
Sybert, Democrat, Wins Attorney General Spot Over
Incumbent Edward D. E. Rollins

With all but a few of the states
1,345 polling places counted, Theo-
dore McKeldin was reelected gov
ernor of Maryland over II. c. Byrd,
and is the first one in the states
history to achieve that honor. No
Republican governor had ever been
reelected in Maryland, until Tues
day.
Unofficial figures showed Nc
keldin winning by 6O,669 votes,
S69,359 to 3O8,69O.
At the same time c. Ferdinand
Sybert, Democrat, had beaten Ed
ward d. f. Rollins, Republican,
for attorney general by 1892
votes, 308,084 to 272,322.
Garrett Gives Maiorities
Garrett county gave its usual
heavy Republican majorities to the
state candidates. 1t furnished Nc
Keldin with 1899 votes in COM
parison to 2,724 for Byrd, and also
gave a substantial majority to
Rollins with 3,769 votes compared
to 1856 for Sybert. J. Willard
Tawes was reelected comptroller
of the treasury without opposition.
A Democrat, he received 1896
votes in Garrett county.
McKeldin lost five precincts in
this county, but all are considered
heavily Democratic, while he tied
Byrd at one of the Accident pre-
cincts.
Over $500 votes were cast in
Tuesday voting here, which COM
pared favorably with the presi-
Dental contest of two years ago
and the county general election of
four years ago.
McKeldin apparently is going to
have fewer Republicans to work
with in the new Maryland General
Assembly when it convenes in Jan
uary. Three Republican senator's
running for reelection were
bumped off in the voting. Garrett
County and Allegany County will
present solid Republican front
in both the House and the Senate.
The heavy voting kept some
judges and clerks at their posts
until a. m. on Wednesday. Kitz-
miller was the last precinct to re-
port.

Young Woman Dies
In Auto Mishap

A 21-year-old girl was killed in
stantly in a motor accident early
Monday morning about five miles
south of Grantsville on the New
Germany road off route 40.
Authorities identified her as
Miss Margaret Sue Miller of
Knapps Meadow, near Homecoming,
an employe of a garment company
in Keyser, W. Va.
DR.. E. I. Baumgartner, deputy
state medical examiner, said death
was due to crushing injuries to the
left chest wall, right thigh injuries
and fracture of the basal portion
of the skull. Miss Miller was pinned
under the left door of a car driven
by Kenneth Owen Grove, "a, of
route ?, Grantsville.
Grove was placed in the county
Jail at Oakland for questioning at
the office of States Attorney w.
Dwight Slower. Grove escaped
serious injury but sustained minor
decorations.
Both occupants of the car were
thrown from the vehicle in the
mishap. Trooper Blair Bucket of
the Maryland State police, quoted
the driver as saying couple of
deer ran across the highway and
that as he swerved to avoid hitting
the animals the car went out of
control, hit an embankment and
upset.
Miss Miller, who attended Val
ley High school, is survived by her
parents, two brothers, four sisters.

State Approves
Nine Amendments
County Continues Its Custom
Of Registering Negative
Vote On Questions

Garrett county gave its usual
negative decisions on all amend
ments, but statewide voting indi-
Gates that all nine of them passed
statewide.
Such being the case Garrett
county is due for a judgeship,
which will be provided by an APP
pointment by Governor McKeldin
The proposal increasing the num-
Der of circuit judges, autoTlatical-
ly cancelled two other amendments
which provided for extra Judges in
Baltimore and Montgomery coun-
ties.
Garrett county has never had
resident Judge, the court business
here being taken care of by the
other three judges of the Fourth
judicial circuit. Allegany county
currently has two associate judges
and the new amendment, if APP
proved as is indicated in returns
from about half of the states l,345
polling places, will take one Of the
judgeships away from the county
in the event one retires or dies.
Home Rule Favored
The home rule amendment was
favored nearly four to one state
wide. This will give Maryland's in
corporated city and town govern
ment much more freedom in run
ming their own affairs. At the
sam, time it will relieve the Cen
eral Assembly Of considering many
loca questions. The State legis-
latlre still will retain some meas
ure of control over municipal debt
limits and other phases Of COM
mInity government.
In Garrett County the voting was
as follows; with the total favoring
tie project being given first: home
rule, 1888 to 90; Baltimore judge,
+3S to 1914; Montgomery judge,
1872 to 1,070; additional judges, SIP
to 1910; governors salary, 705 to
1864; Secretary of State salary,
538 to 953; Baltimore sheriff, sos
to 1888; absentee voting, 684 to
8l8; Baltimore port development,
Alp to SOB.

Western Trip Ends
For Annapolis Youths
After Car Wreck

Two 15-year-old Annapolis area
youths, repeatedly travelling toward
Arizona in stolen car, and with
small arsenal" of guns and am
munition taken from a store in
Annapolis Sunday night, wrecked
on Little Savage mountain in this
county Monday afternoon, ending
their trip in the Allegany county
jail
The two youths were returned
to their home Tuesday afternoon
by Annapolis police.
Cpl. William F. Baker, criminal
investigator for the Maryland
State Police, pieced the story to-
gether after the youthful travellers
were mabbed and gave this version.
Sunday night the boys allegedly
took a parked car of John NJ. Wer-
ner, of Annapolis, "hot-wired' it
and drove to a sporting goods store
in that city, entered the store by
breaking a window pane, carrying
away some 20 guns of various cal
ibre, approximately 5000 rounds
of ammunition, a rifle scope, a
couple of jackets and a pair of
shoes. They were also said to have
removed license tags from three
other Maryland cars parked in An
napolis.
They then loaded the cache in
the car and left for Arizona. While
descending the western slope of
Little Savage they failed to ne
gotiate a curve and plunged down
a 20-foot embankment. Although
the two boys were apparently I'M
hurt the car was practically de-
molished. They took three of the
guns and some ammunition and
started walking down the highway.
One kept a 80 calibre gun while
two % calibre guns were tossed
into the woods at FinzeI. They
were later recovered as well as the
rest of the stolen goods valued at
about 81 500.
As the two boys approached the
farmhouse of Martin Larue they
noticed parked vehicle on the
property, and attempted to con-
tinue their travels. Larue heard the
commotion and went toward the
car. The boys repeatedly shot about
four rounds Of ammunition "in the
air" to scare him. However, Larue
nabbed the two and turned them
over to police in Frostburg, who
called State police.
Investigating with Baker was
Trooper Blair j. Bucket. The stolen
guns and ammunition were in
spected by States Attorney w.
Dwight Slower ON Monday after
noon when Bucket came to Oak
land on another case.
