The Commission Intergovernmenal Relations, which
proposed by the President and established by the Con-
gress recently made its report In 81 authoritative
discusses the problems involved in maintaining govern
mental system and points strengths, weaknesses and
needs.
The general conclusions this important and Ongneeded
study makes are expressed in these words eve should seek
to divide our civic responsibilities that Leave to
private initiative all the functions that citizens perform
privately the level of government closest to the COM
muny for all public functions it hande utilize coopera-
tive ntergovernmenta arrangements where appropriate to
attain economical performance and popular apprOVa re-
serve national action for residual participation where state
and local not fully adequate, and for the
continuing responsibilities that only the National Govern
ment undertake"
This amounts to saying that government should do
what private enterprise and private citizens do; that
state and local problems should be the state and local
and that the federal government should act only when
is clear that other agency perform required
function than blueprint for good government

of our freedoms President Eisenhower follows this blue

When we realize what this blueprint MEANS we can
realize silly and asnne the utterances of former
President Truman who has embarked what he terms a
"giveen-he campaign to return the Democratic party to

Army Engineers
To View Potomac

During the week of September
IL a detachment of us. Army engi-
neers will make a preliminary sur
vey of the Upper Potomac River
valley for the purpose of deter
mining the possibility of a flood
control program.
The scheduled review recalls
that four or five years ago, at the
request of Sen j. Glenn Beall, at
that time congressional rcpresen-
tative, a similar survey was made
at Kitzmiller, WestcrnpOrt, Nc
Coole and Luke.
Since then the Soil Conservation
commission has instituted sur
vey in the Georges Creek region
designed to stop erosion and too
rapid run-off of small streams and
surface water.
1t was felt this renewed interest
on the part of the Army Engineers
may be another step toward even
tual relief of many small commune
ties plagued by floods and high
water for several decades.

State Makes Plans
For Public Park

State officials VISITED Deep OIcck
Lake on Wednesday to make def
mite plans for the park Maryland
hopes to open here next summer.
Joseph F. Kaylor, director of the
Department of Forests and Parks,
was accompanied on the trip by
william r. Hall, superintendent of
State parks.
The state has condemned 81
acres of waterfront property owned
by Fulcher p. Smith, at the lake,
and Kaylor's department has re-
qucsted the Board of Public Works
to approve its purchase for S72,850.
That was the value placed on the
property recently by Garrett
County jury which heard the con-
domination case.
The area will be known as the
Deep Creek State Park and
Recreation Area.
Kaylor said preliminary plans
should be drawn up within the next
80 DAYS to provide for a two-year
development program at the lake.
The strip of land to be acquired
for nearly one mile along the north.
undevcloped side of the lake, is
up to 800 feet deep at its widest
point. Back of it lies the Thayer
game refuge owned by the State
Game and Inland Fish Commission.
Kaylor said an access road would
be built into the area and tent sites
and toilet and water facilities de-
velopcd. 1t is also planned to build
parking area and picnic facilities.
The State plans to operate swim
ming beach and will grant con-
cessiOn for boat rentals.
Kaylor said he and Mr.. Hall had
found some excellent sites TOR
camping areas. One of the first
things to be provided will be a
combination building as a wash
house and toilets. A self-scrVicc
bathhouse of perhaps 20 to Is units,
also is listed in the early plan
ming with a large area for the park
ing of automobiles.
A special area is to be provided
for fishing.
Mr.. Kaylor stressed the fact that
it was not in the plan to erect any
cabins, only camping facilities.
Kaylor said the State hopes
eventually to accommodate several
hundred campers a week. The de
partment has $4,000 in funds from
the 1854 legislature with which to
develop the site
All funds are to be spent for To-
cal labor and materials insofar as
this is possible.

School Cleanup
Program Completed

That the vast cleanup and repair
program for school buildings nears
completion and would be finished
by the opening of school next Tues
day morning, September 6, was an
nounced this week by Willard l..
Hawkins, county superintendent of
schools.
Painting and repair work were
done to buildings at Finzel, John
son, Yoder, Bittinger, North Glade,
Swanton, Mt. Zion, Deer Park,
Grellin, Loeb Lynn and an ad-
ditional room at the Annex.
Tile floors were placed in Crellin,
Loeb Lynn and Red House schools.
Mr.. Hawkins said some delay had
been caused by slow delivery of
floor tile for the Loeb Lynn school
and this job was not expected to be
completed until the last minute.
Maintenance work other than the
contract portion at the Accident
school has been done entirely by
county school cuStodians. In adj
dtion to painting inside and out
most of the elementary school
buildings, such repairs were made
as removing and rebuilding window
sash, repairing steps and doors, re-
pairing plaster, providing extra
shelving, scrubbing and waxing
floors of two new high schools, re-
finishing the new gym floors, paint
ing and rehnishing old furniture,
putting sound proof partitions in
the band room at Southern, etc.
Hawkins said the school custo-
dams and maintenance men, head
ed by Melvin Sisler and Bill Calls,
were due their share of honors for
the extent of the work accomp-
lished during the summer. Other
members of the summer crew in
Guided Roy Hartman, Charles Me
theney, Louis Harman, William
Hanft, John Milavec, Orville Kitz-
miller, Roy Shank, Irwin Liller,
Arthur Butler and Frank Mulliken.
The construction job under way
at Kitzmiller will be completed
around February 1. Mr.. Hawkins
said there would be no cafeteria in
the Kitzmiller school until the new
kitchen was completed and the all
purpose room made available.
School will be in progress with
some inconvenience, but classes
would be in regular session from
the opening day, he stated. All 7th
grade children in the Shallmar-
Kitzmiller- Vindex areas are to en-
roll at the Kitzmiller school on
September 6.
Plans are being drawn for a two
| room addltlOn at Red mouse when
will be completed next summer. A
complete renovation of the present
buildings at Friendsville and at
Grantsville, as well as two high
school auditoriums are also on the
program just as soon as such need
ed improvements can be financed,
he also advised. Mr.. Hawkins also
pointed out that a new Oakland
elementary school for upper grade
children in the Oakland-Loch Lynn
Crellin area, and a new school to
house children perhaps through the
first eight grades in the Johnson
Avilton-Finzel area are urgently
needed.
