low Falls road. According to
Sheriff Paul W. Fisher, Lloyd
charges the pair with coming to
his home last Saturday evening, GO
ing into the woods near the house
and there firing several shots to-
ward the house. Some of the bull

Approves Site
OF Diagnostic
Local Laboratory

Governor Theodore McKeldin's
office advised the Garrett County
Turkey Growers by telephone on
Monday Of this week that the loca-
tion Of a live stock sanitary labora-
tory for diagnosis of diseases Of
live stock and poultry, had been APP
proved for Garrett County in next
years budget by the University of
Maryland authorities.
Governor McKeldin added that
he was asking DR.. Elkins, presi-
dent Of the University to try to get
the laboratory under way immedi-
ately.
A proposed location, on 8th
street, in one of the farm shops
formerly used by Oakland High
school, was approved several
months ago. One half of this two
story warehouse was selected from
four locations inspected by offici-
ais.
A study of the project was made
last summer by University of
Maryland agricultural people along
with committee from the Turkey
Growers, and the University Board
of Regents announced at that time
that the laboratory would be estab-
lished here. The university indi-
Gated at that time it would supply
about $4,000 worth of equipment
and part-time technician.
A check of conditions last year
by DR.. Arthur L. Breuckner, d.
rector of the States Live Stock
Sanitary Service, showed that
farmers in the western end of the
state were handicapped by having
to go long distances to avail them
selves Of the services of the near
est laboratory at Hagerstown.
Much mileage will be saved by
having the laboratory close at
hand.
The move for laboratory was
launched in the winter of 1852 by
the Turkey Growers.
Such laboratory helps farmers
check their poultry flocks, cattle
and swine herds for disease. The
curing Of the diseases still rests
with veterinarians, and individuals
concerned, it was pointed out.

$40 Arrive For
Autumn Glory Trip

The Autumn Glory excursion
trip has passed with record num-
Der of people from Washington
and Baltimore coming to Garrett
county Sunday to enjoy the seen
cry, but the beauties of autumn
just began on Monday.
The seven hundred forty persons
who came to Garrett county on the
Baltimore and Ohio excursion saw
plenty of beauty but Mother
Nature did not begin to make much
of a change in the foliage until the
visitors had all departed.
From all accounts, however, the
reaction of the visitors was most
pleasant. All expressed admira-
tion for the Swallow Falls State
Park area, Harrington Manor, and
the wonders of Deep Creek Lake.
After short welcome at the
station by the Mt City Band, the
Mt. Top Chamber Of Commerce
through Newton Coplin, president,
and Charles l.. Briner, secretary;
and Mayor Joseph Hinebaugh, the
crowd piled into school busses and
began the journey.
The busses made the trip with
out incident and returned to the
station by five o'clock.
A highlight of the day was the
presentation Of the queens and
princesses from Northern and
Southern High school, who boarded
the train at Keyser and during the
hours run to Oakland, talked to
the excursionists, distributed bus
tickets and briefed them on what
to look for when they made their
tour, They also were introduced
from the platform at the station.
Over $50 box lunches were sold
by the Garrett County Turkey
Growers, through booth at the
railroad station. The Mt. Top
Chamber of Commerce presented
two of the visitors with prizes, one
a frozen turkey, and one half
gallon of maple syrup.
Sundays excursion was by far
the biggest in the several years it
has been run by the railroad in CO.
with local officials. The
limit was set at 630, but more and
more people clamored for tickets.
Extra busses were provided and
the final tally was TAO.
Earl Poorbaugh, director of the
State Department of Information,
the idea with town of
ficials about the possibility of
next years affair a week
end trip, but whether or not this
would be feasible, was not decided. |

Seek Assurance
On AuditOriumS
At High Schools
PIT. A. Committees Request
Attitudes Of Legislative
Candidates

A program under which both
high schools of the county might
obtain the two auditoriums which
are needed to complete oha two
school plants, was outlined .his
week by the executive committees
of both Northern and Southern
High school Parent Teacher asso-
Citations.

ton. The complete letter appears

The executive committees of the
Parent-Tcacher associations of
both schools voted unanimously in
favor of the construction of an au-
ditorium at each of the two high
schools, and learned that an act of
the General Assembly Of Mary
land would be necessary to au-
thorizc bond issue in order to
provide the money for construction.
The letter to the candidates ex-
plains that the Board of Educa-
ton has estimated an amount Of
not more than $500. 900 would be
needed to build and eduip audito-
RUINS of the size desired. This
means. the letter said. an annual
tax increase of less than three
cents per 500 of assessed valua-
ton.
The urgent need for an aldito-
rum at each high school is pointed
out in the following parapraph in
the letter:
1T is well known that our bows

place for school assembly nro-
grams and gatherings Of the stn-
dent body, that our boys and girls
do not have a place with desirable
facilities for the presentation of
