He declared the United States shall reject method,

Stone WuII At Court House
To Be Completed Soon

That the stone wall around the
Court House in Oakland would be
completed in the near future, was
announced this week by the County
Commissioners.
The Commissioners in recent
weeks have been criticized for not
completing the job. II. d. SWartzen-
truber, president, said that for a
long time they had been under the
impression that the work had been
contracted by their predecessors
and that work would be resumed
this spring.
When work did not resume they
made inquiry and found that the
stone masons had worked only by
the day and that stone had been OBJ
tanned by the load, just as needed.
At present, enough stone to com
plete the work has been promised
at an early date.

Will Speak Tonight
At Accident Dinner

Miss Elizabeth Fairall, speaker
at the annual dinner meeting of
the Garrett County Historical So
ciety this evening, June %, at the
Accident Fire hall, was featured
in The Womens Wear magazine,
of June 3.
Miss Fairall will retire in Oc-
tober and one of the things she is
most interested in is to sit in the
spectators gallery of Congress to
view for her first time the pro-
ceedings of this body of laWmak-
ers.
Although pictured as knowing
all the highways and byWays of the
world, yet during her active so
years in fashions, she has not had
time to explore the wonders or
visit the shrines of her adopted
hometown of Washington She de
clares she needs a specially CON
Quoted tour to find her way about
a city in which she has lived for
almost half century
Since the fashion bug bit her
in 1905 Miss Fairall has thrown
the full strength of her energies
into her work and helped not only
her own firm grow but the entire
fashion world has benefited great
ly by her efforts.
Her keen instinct for good mer-
chandising and sensing consumer
buying trends were developed
under the tutelage of Julius Gar
finckel, who died in 1886 She
noted his close attention to details
on every garment that he always
demanded we'll made, top grade
goods for his clients.
Her grandfather was a merchant
in Accident, and Miss Fairall will
be speaking from that town this
evening before a group of from rs
to 100 interested persons.

Hurt In Car Crash

Big Savage mountain in Garrett
county on Saturday registered its
second tragedy in less than three
days when young airman bled to
death in a one-car accident.
1t occurred just one-half mile
west of the site of crash early
Thursday morning that took the
life Of a young teacher
Trooper Glen Folk identified the
dead man as Fred Bell. 25 a native
Of MeycrsdaIe, who was stationed
at Andrews air force base.
He and his wife, Donna, were
enroute to Meyersdale to spend the
weekend with relatives. Mrs Bell,
who was driving, said she saw a
bug or spider on the inside of the
windshield and being suddenly
scared, she attempted to brush it
off and lost control of the car.
Harry Carey, who lives near the
site of the accident, a mile west of
Frostburg, said he was working in
the yard of his home when he saw
the car leave the road and hit a
telephone pole The machine struck
the pole on the side of the driver
and the victims head went through

Sunday, June 10th

Sunday morning, June Is, at
1905 o'clock, will mark another
step forward for the telephone
systems of Oakland, Fricndsville,
Kitzmillcr and Blaine, w va. At
that time these exchanges will be
come part of the nationwide 2-5
numbering plan, according to r.
K Dayton, local manager.
Oakland will be known as deer
field-4; Friendsville will become
SHadysidc-6; Kitzmiller will be-
come GLenview-3, and Blaine will
become HIllcrest-6. Bittinger al
ready CHcsmut-5 and Accident will
not be changed at this time.
However, Dayton pointed out it
was important for persons living
in Accident to remember to dial
SH-6 followed by the usual tclc-
phone number when calling any
number in Friendsyille and also
persons living in Kitzmiller and
calling Blaine numbers must dial
HI-6, and those people living in
Blaine and calling Kitzmlller must
dial GL-3, followed by the regular
number. Failure to dial the two
letters and the number assigned to
each office will result i'll wrong
numbers or mcompleted calls, he
said.
1t will be necessary to dial two
letters and the assigned number
followed by the telephone number
in all offices except Accident.
New telephone directories were
distributed this week and letters
also were mailed to each sub
scriber this week telling them of
