Summer Theatre
Will Be Reality
Returns From Subscription
Cumpuign Encourage
Final Plans
The Garrett County Summer

The Garrett County Summer
Playhouse will be a reality.
This was indicated this week by
an announcement from Gene Yell,
director, that he would 90 ahead
with definite plans to open the
theatre for a full six weeks pro-
gram.
Although originally it was the in
tent not to 90 ahead with the
project unless the minimum eX-
pense was underwritten by $50 sub
scriptions at $3.50 each, Mr. Yell
said the returns were very encour-
aging and that he was sure that the
required number would be reached
before the first play was pre-
scented the week of July 5
The Business and Professional
Women's club members will con-
tinue to sell subscriptions up until
the time of the first play. One sub
scription of $3.50 gives a person adj
mission to seven performances and
saves a total of $3.50 for an in
dividual since single admissions
are S140 each The breakdown on
each subscription showed 1886 plus
Ga cents tax plus so cents for the
Business and Professional Women's
club.
Mrs Jane HumbertSon, president
of the club, said that 200 Subscrip-
tons had been sold up to the
present time Tickets have been
mailed to all subscribers. Mr.. Yell
suggested that reservations should
be made in advance by telephoning
the box office to assure the holder
of an admission on specific night
The first play to be presented
will be "Blithe Spirit" starting the
week Of July ). Three members OF
the summer theatre cast have had
actual Broadway experience ano
other members are senior students
of drama at the University of New
| Mexico.
The director plans to be in Oak
land early in June, and he will
bring technician with him to com
plete details for construction o.

Court of Appeals
.ReverSeS Decision
In Gas Well Dispute

The Maryland Court of Appeals,
in an opinion handed down this
week, has reversed the decision of
the lower court in gas we'll dis
pute which sustained a demurrer
to the bill of complaint
The Columbian Carbon Company,
through Lewis r. Jones and Ern-
est r. Jones, Oakland attorneys,
entered this suit originally against
Edward c. Right and wife, Evelyn
Right Warsaw, divorced wife of
Pierce Warsaw, and Ray Right, to
obtain a decree declaring that an
oil and gas lease Of tract of land,
which complainant obtained from
Warsaw while he was married, was
valid and enforceable
In the original suit filed in the
Garrett County Circuit Court, a
hearing was held before Associate
Judge Morgan c. Harris, on a de
murrer filed by Fralcy and Capper.
attorneys, for the WarsaWs. This
demurrer was sustained and the gas
company took the case to the Court
of Appeals.
The case was over the gas rights
TO property that once was jointly
owned by the WarSaWs as tenants
by the entircticS
Warsaw signed a lease for the
gas right, but his wife refused
Subsequently the Warsaws were
divorced and the gas company
sought to get the onc-half of the
gas rights decided by Warsaw for
his halt of the property.
Judge Harris sustained Fralcy
and Capper in their arguments that
the lease was void to start with
pointing out that both Mr. and Mrs
Warsaw had not affixed their sigma
lures to the document, and an APP
peal was then filed on behalf OF
the company Shortly before the
hearing in the Court of Appeals
Cappcr and Mason, the latter OF
whom had taken the place of Judge
Fraley upon his appointment tc
the bench, filed a motion to dis
miss the appeal on the ground that
sufficient papers had not been
filed. This motion was argued along
with the main contention in the
case.
The Court Of Appeals declared
it found that the brief contained Z
sufficient statement Of the facts tC
enable it TO decide the questions
at issue and declared we there
fore override the motion to dismiss
the appeal" The court then went
on to pass upon the main question
relating to the validity of the lease
and held that it was good as to the
undivided onc-half interest OF
Pierce Warsaw in the property
and thereupon reversed the Circuit
Court ruling on the demurrer anc
rcmanded the case for further pro.
ccedings.

months. Present minimum charges
remain in effect throughout the
year, but charges for amounts

pointed out at that time. He's still
young kid and he's bound to be
affected by the adulation of the
multitude.
Willie has turned in some fine
performances on the ball field, and
he is deserving of any honors that
have been bestowed upon him. But
there is a great deal of attention
and emphasis on Willie that is en-
tirely unnecessary and that act
ually can prove to be Willie's down
fall. We refer, of course, to the
wining and dining that sports
heroes are treated to. We think
Willie has kept his head a long
time, but it seems the pressure is
becoming too great.
After all, there are a few other
players on the Giants team, many
of whom have contributed good
share to the teams success. To say
that "as Willie goes, so go the
Giants" is putting a lot of response
bility on the kids shoulders. He has
carried lot of this responsibility,
it is true, but to make him the
whole team is not only exagger-
ating the Importance of one player,
but it is psychologically bad for the
kid.
If this seems like a pessimistic
point of view, take look at Willie
and his recent lapses, his apparent
Observation-Disclosures and all around
sloppiness. They certainly, aren't
due to lack of ability. AS an old
timer, We would say they are due
to distractions which could easily
be avoided by proper handling.

WARNIN

EDWARD (ED)4 MASSEY
State Mine Inspector
By

The Arizona state mine inspec-
tors office today issued a warning
to vacationists and others to keep
away from old mine shafts and tun-
nels that they may encounter on
their travels. Ed Massey, State
mine, inspector, and his deputies
are particularly concerned because
this time of year the old tunnels
are cool and comfortable and like
ly places for people to visit. The
dangers they. may encounter, how
ever, are many as Mr.. MaSsey'S
office points out.
The danger of falling rock is
present in most of the old workings
and even the vibration set up by
the sound of a human voice may
cause a slide and disaster
Another hazard that mhy be
present is the possibility that un-
used explosives may have been
abandOnedwith the mine venture
and dynamite and blasting caps,
always dangerous, are even more
so when aged. Persons finding such
explosives are warned not to han
die or attempt to remove, but
should notify either the local dep
uty mine inspector or the sheriff's

Getting
Along
BY LAUREEN WHITE

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL) Every
year, as the month of May comes
around, I find it refreshing to con-
slider the birthday of one of the
most controversial characters of
American History. On May 9, 1900,
John Brown was born. A more
egotistical, strong willed, uncom-
promising and adventurous charac-
ter never lived. When he became a
man, he found it impossible to take
part in any undertaking in which
he was not the head man. And,
though his life was a series of
failures, he was so strong willed
that he never allowed any of them
to effect his opinion of himself and
his mission.
John Brown once made the
statement, that God sent him on
earth to free slaves. His first con-
tact with human slavery was when
heo was twelve and he had a Negro
companion about his age This
slave was poorly clothed and fed.
He was. beaten by his master and
made to work long hours for no
pay often John Brown reflected
ON the "wretched" hopeless con-
dition of fatherless and mother
less, slave Children, for such child
ern have neither father nor mother
to provide for them" At twelve
he decided ito declare or swear
eternal war with slavery"
John Brown was 55 before he
started on the mission that placed
him in the history books of the
nation. Feeling that the slavehold-
erS would never give up their
slaves without the shedding of
blood, he murdered five pro-slav-
cry men on Pattawatomic Creek.
Years before, he had told Frederick
Douglass that all shareholders had
forfeited. their right to live. The
success. of the Pottawatomic raid
led him and his followers to try
to capture Harper's Ferry. He had
been considering this plan for
years. His object was to capture
that arsenal, arm the slaves and
let them free themselves His at
tempt to capture the Ferry was
unsuccessful.
Before sentence was passed on
him, John Brown said, in his de-
fense: Had I interferred in the
manner 1 admit in behalf of
the rich, the powerful, the So
called great or in behalf of any of
their friends, either father, mother,
brother, sister, wife, children and
suffered and sacrificed what L
have, it would have been all right.
Every man in this court room
would have deemed it an act
worthy of reward than punish
