Football Assured
At Southern High;
Fund Presented
Booster Club Provides $4,000
For Purchase OF Equip
ment

Members of the Oakland Booster
club have complied with the pro-
visions of the Board of Education
under which football will he in
augurated at Southern High school
this coming fall.
They formally presented Dr..
James Collins, principal, with a
check for $4,000 on Saturday
morning, May !, at 8 o'clock. The
check was presented by hrval
Ream, treasurer of the Booster
club, and is to be used to purchase
uniforms and equipment
DR.. Collins announced this week
that in carrying through the plan
to start football this fall, that the
field had been laid out and seeded
in grass, that lines and markers
had been stakcd and the school was
making plans to set the goal posts.
An iron railing about - feet
from the playing field was being
placed around it to hold back the
spectators, and that bids We're be-
ing obtained this week for the
equipment.
From two to four games are con-
templated for the coming season
and it was the hope of the school
officials that squad of forty
boys would be equipped.
DR.. Collins said Southern High
school would follow the policy
recommended by the County Board
of Education wherein football
would receive no more emphasis
nor require any more time from
the school administration than
physical education or basketball or
soccer, and that emphasis would
be upon craftsmanship rather than
over-emphasis upon winning.
The coaches will receive no pay
beyond a regular teachers salary
and no coaching during practice
or game will be done by anyone
other than by a member of the
school faculty. The program is to
be carried on without any curtail-
mcnt of any other part of the
physical education program.
The collection of $4,000 from To-
cal citizens climaXed an effort of
a number of months by members
of the Booster Club. Heading the
job of collecting and providing the
money were Erval Ream, DR.. II.
R. Gibson, Howard Naylor, DR..
Harold Ashby, Emeric Dusic, Guy
William limbaugh, Irwin Field,
William Rees, DR.. f. |. Baum
gartner, Irwin r. Rudy, Jr., Robert
w. Lohr, John Weber, James Bell,
Jr., and others.
A lot of the money was provided
last fall but too late for the pro-
gram to get underway at that
time, Then in March the Board Of
Education set out ten provisions
under which it would be acceptable
to have football at the local school,
and a deadline was placed for turn
ing over $4,000.
With several of the pledges not
turned into cash at that time
several of the Booster club mem
bers borrowed the balance of about
$500 needed so that the full amount
could be presented before the dead
line.
DR.. Collins said he was not sure
as yet what person would be
named as football coach.

Board Seeks To
Condemn Land
For Lake Park
Proceedings Filed Tuesday In
Circuit Court AT Oakland

Condemnation proceedings were
instituted in the Circuit Court in
Garrett county Tuesday by the
State Board of Forests and Parks,
against Fulcher p. Smith and wife,
of Oakland, in an effort to force
the sale Of a parcel Of land for use
as public park on Deep Greek
Lake.
The land in question is located
in district No. 6, in the area around
Meadow Mountain inlet near Glen
dale bridge, and near where the
State already owns about 900 acres
with only small quantity of shore
line. The state is seeking about 70
acres with 5000 feet of lake 'front.'
age that would be suitable for a
public park, boating, swimming,
etc.
Filing the petition in the court
were the members of the state
board of forests and parks which
includes Paul B. Naylor, of Oak
land, acting on behalf of the State
of Maryland. Attorneys are Ed
ward d. Rollins, attorney general;
A. T. Hartman, assistant attorney
general, and William j. Gunter,
special attorney.
They represent that under pro-
visions of the public general laws
of Maryland the petitioners are
empowered to condemn lands in the
name of the state for the purpose
of advancing aims of forestry,
parks and recreation and they de-
clare it is necessary and proper to
acquire for the purposes of the
Deep Greek Lake state park tract
of land consisting of 1882 acres,
conveyed to the Smiths by deed in
1913.
The petitioners declare they have
been unable to make an agreement
with the Smiths to purchase the
above property, Notwithstanding
that petitioners have made
reasonable and bona fidc effort to
do so"
An order signed by Associate
Judge Morgan c. Harris asks that
a summons be issued to the Smiths
to answer the petition and show
cause why the property should not
be condemned as asked for in the
petition. The summons is return
able on May 20.
According to Joseph f. kaylor,
director of the Department of State
Forests and Parks, it was found
that the area on the end of Meadow
Mountain between Cherry Run and
Meadow Mountain run would serve
the public purposes best for a num-
Der Of reasons by attracting bust
ness to private enterprises on the
lake, by providing an easily access
siblc area which could be used by
many and that it was near land
already owned by the state which
would be used to advantage.
Last year the Legislature pro-
vjded $4,000 for a public park on
the lake and this past year added
$4,000 allocated as follows: $15,-
600 for road construction, $500
for sanitary facilities; $4,000 for
parking space, $4,000 for self serv-
ice bath house, and $500 for pic
mic facilities.

! She wasn't covering up, how
ever, when she arrived at Mont

midnight Tuesday--half a dozen
hours after she called police and
reported, Someone has choked
my sister to death and I know
who did it," That was when she
admitted that she was the one.
70 Mrs. Margaret Frederick,
Montrose superintendent who
was urging the girl to sleep, Ma
rion rnoaned, "How can you sheep
when you've been as bad as !
have?"
Mrs. Frederick said Marion
showed suicidal tendencies, and
had confided that recently she
had tried to "get away" by tax
ing 20 aspirin.
That's why Mrs. Frederick and
a school social worker sat by
Marion's bed through the night,
listening to the girls cries of
hearing voices. Under sedatives,
Marion finally slept.
Every juvenile In trouble"
commented Mrs. Frederick,

A Star Exploded

young astronomer at the California In

star last month. But it was not really new.
Actually, this star exploded some 20 million
years ago. It has taken that long for the light
from the explosion-an explosion which oc-
CURED 10000 900 OOO, 900 900 900 miles away-to
reach the earth. It is estimated that this ex-
ploding star was 100000 times brighter than the
sun, and the scientists tell us that the explosion
was so violent that by comparison an H-bomb
is as mild as falling feather" 1t may be that
the earth itself was just taking form when
this star exploded. Certainly it occurred cons
before our earliest human ancestors made their
appearance.
Can these virtual infinities have any mean
ing for the finite mind? 1t would seem So
more perhaps than one might readily suppose.
Certainly they should teach us not to talk
of supernien and master races. If there be those
among us on this earth who dream of world
conquest, they should be encouraged to reflect
upon the futility of their dream. After all,

the East Pakistan elections three months ago
for seats in the Provincial Legislature The de-
feated party was the Moslem League, of which
Prime Minister Mohammed Ali is member and
he carried on strenuous campaign in the east
ern area on its behalf. In the months between
there has been nothing better than an uneasy
truce between the United Frontiers in the east
and the central government of Prime Minister
Ali at Karachi, in West Pakistan
Even this condition might have gone on
indefinitely if the United Front leadership had
not allowed itself to be drawn into outright or
indirect collaboration with the Communist
factions and fronts. The disorders that re-
suited and the irresponsible statements made
about independence of East Pakistan left no
alternative to Karachi's action Of forcing resig

Minister Ali has shown on other occasions that
he has the capacity for strong and prompt
action. He has shown 1t again here. The

The big trouble with the world today
is confusion, rather than helplessness.
The worlds peoples are not at all
helpless. They have ways and means
of living good lives if they want to
enough. The main trouble seems to be
that too many Of them do not want to
live o good life. but are satisfied to live
an evil one. in fact rather rejoice in it.
We are all confused, with all sorts
Of rays and particles Of matter radi-
ating through and around US.
This physical confusion results in
mental confusion. It Is no longer pos
sible to think Of mind as mind. and
body as body. each a separate entity or
thing. All is swirling through space
and time. Time Is q mystery at the
center Of which stands God. the Tri-
umphant, the Giver and the Taker.
A better motto. more in tune with
the latest discoveries. would be:
Hopeful. capable. and victorious. {"
A person with such q motto is more
likely to step out and to help himself,

The Navy vehemently denied that
the Bennington's boilers had been de-
fective. but this was generally believed
to have been the cause of the explosion.
The gunboat. like the aircraft carrier,
got her name from Bennington. VT,
site of major battle during the Revo-
luton. After that fateful day of July IL.
she was repaired, and served for five
more years before she was finally de-
commissioned and sold in 1910
The 220-foot ship displaced ITO
tons-about fourth the length of the
aircraft carrier-and had a speed of
16.5 knots and draft Of IA feet. Her
biggest guns were six-inch rifles.
Before the explosion. the Bennington

history. She was the ship that seized
Wake Island on January 10, 1899, a
worthless prize inhabited only by rats
and crabs until q private airline set up
an airfleld there in 1885.

Requttu Critic Catches Grab

Alumni of rowing colleges in this
area wish to thank James S. McGruer
for his letter in The Star Of June /.
His word picture of the crowds which
annually witness the famous Henley
Regatta in England serves to back up
our assertions that rowing regattaS can
: and will become major events in WASH
ington.
Mr.. McGruer caught a crab" how
ever, when he drew a rather sighting
comparison between the Henley crowds
and the number viewing regattas here
He neglected to mention that Henley
crowds have been building up for over
two centuries. This famous regatta
dates back to August /, 1716, some 238
years ago. The Potomac Regatta is only
two years old.
There are some other phases of row.
ing that Mr.. McGruer evidently does
not know. The size of regatta is not
measured by the number of spectators,
1t is the number of participants that
counts. A total Of "a freshman, Junior
varsity and varsity crews representing
13 major universities (not just two as
at Henley competed here on May Is.
also four high school crews.
There is no other college regatta held
anywhere in America or in any other
country, which has as many entrants
Even the famous event known as the
"Poughkeepsie Regatta" now held at
Syracuse, N. Y, does not have as many
competing crews. The statement in The
Star Pictorial Magazine on May rel
ative to the Potomac Regatta being
the worlds largest" was correct.
If Mr.. McGruer believes in intercol-
legiate rowing and wishes to see Po-
tomac Regattas grow in spectator in
terest until they approach Henley at
tendance figures, those who give so
generously Of time and ability to fur
ther such rowing on the Potomac
would welcome his cooperation.
AS for regatta charges which Mr..
McGruer bemoanS: All competing col
leges pay their own transportation costs
to and from Washington, and their ex-
penses while here. All charges for ad-
missions or seats are made solely to
cover the costs of staging regatta and
help defray expenses of competitors. if
receipts are sufficient to permit such
action. There is and can be no profit
taking.
