Service Located
In Oakland Area

Officials from the Maryland Live
Stock Sanitary Service were in
Oakland Tuesday and Wednesday
to confer with the County Com
missioners, school board officials
and other interested parties about
getting the live stock sanitary serV-
ice laboratory started in the cOun-
ty.
Here for the conference were DR.,
A. L. Breuckner, state Veterin-
arian; DR.. L. j. Poelma, director of
the live stock sanitary service
laboratory at College Park; DR..
Robert Schillinger, director of the
laboratories at HagerstoWn and

Aubrey Brenneman and Erwin A.
Roth; O. T. eraser, maintenance
supervisor for the Board of Educa-
ton; DR.. F. ID. Custer, veterinarian;
John H. Carter, county agricul-
tural agent; and Lowell LOomis,
Harley and John Bowman, Kermit
Glotfelty and Robert Glotfelty,
members of the Garrett County
Turkey Growers.
Provisions have been made in
the state budget for a laboratory in
Garrett county provided the coun-
ty furnish the necessary building,
install various facilities in the
building and pay the utilities. The
state has agreed to furnish all
equipment and supplies and pay
salaries of the personnel connected
with the laboratory.
The laboratory would be headed
by a veterinarian, on a part-tlme
basis, have a full-time laboratory
technician, and a helper. Services
offered would include diagnosis of
live stock diseases, meteorological
examinations, and certain blood
tests such as for brucellosis and
pullorum disease
The Board of Education has of
| fered the use of the vacant build
ing on the corner of Fifth and
Green street, and the Commits
sioners have tentatively agreed to
other conditions. However, no of
fetal action will be taken until
their regular meeting next week.
Live stock owners in the county
have shown much interest in get
ting the laboratory located here,
as they say it would be useful in
helping to keep live stock and
poultry healthy. In the past people
wanting this diagnostic service had
to go to Hagerstown or Morgan
town or MoOrefield.
The Turkey Growers association
was among the first to seek the
laboratory here, and they are still
actively seeking its location here.
Live stock owners were hoping
that the laboratory building would
be ready to occupy by July 18th
and that laboratory service would
be available soon after that date.
