Since the early days of HISTORY
the shifting, drifting waters of

One of the first sailors to take
advantage of the ocean mailing
service was Christopher Column

the King and Queen of Spain
containing a complete report OF
his discoveries in the New World
lhe chest was set adrift durinp

when Columbus, fearing he would
drown without making his dis.
coveries known, used the sea rs
a last resort to communicate
with the Spanish rulers who had
financed his trip. Fortunately

In more recent times the bottles
and boxes tossed into the sea
have been used to study the

be carried from one current to
another by wind and their course
was combination of wind and
wave currents. However, more
than century ago, the "drif:

come the uncertainties of vino
versus ocean currents.
Drift bottles are carefully
sealed bottles that are weighed
down with sand so that they are
nearly all under water with only
the top sticking out to the wind

Change To Be Made
In Administration
OF Surplus Food

Acting upon recommendation
of W. Dwight Slower, attorney TO
the Board of County Commission
ers, that a Commissioner should
not be acting as a distributor of
federal surplus foods, it was Of
ficially decreed at a meeting of the
Board that the distribution be
placed under control of some indi-
vidual other than a Commissioner.
1t was stated that this practice
would become effective as soon as
a suitable person could be en-
ployed.
The Commissioners also asked
that complete inventory be made
of surplus food on hand and a
check be made of those eligible to
participate in the program 1t was
determined that persons would be
eligible to receive surplus food in
the following manner: to one per-
son whose income did not exceed
$3.50; to two persons whose income
did not exceed S6150; 3, S775O; L.,

Commercial Fishing
Possibilities Explored

Fishing experts were exploring
the possibility this week of a COM
mercial fishing program on Deep
Creek Lake.
The project is under the direc-
ton of Sigurd Brantingson, fish
culturist. This week Ralph Murphy,
commercial fisherman from the
Eastern shore, was i'll the county,
along with H. j. Elser, fisheries
biologist from the Department Of
Research and Education.
On Monday they attempted scin-
ing without much success. Yester-
day they tried Fyke nets and
brought up 80 suckers weighing
about one pound each. Branting-
son said these trials would continue
at irregular times during the season
to explore the possibilities.
1t was stated that catch of 500
to 900 pounds of fish per day would
be needed to make any commercial
fishing profitable.

engineer and the Board of County
Commissioners, was filed Monday
by Erwin Roth County Commits
sioner, through his solicitor, Horace
p. Whitworth.
The complaint asks the court to
pass a mandatory injunction re-
curing all funds received from the
State of Maryland for road eX-
penditures to be deposited by the
County Commissioners with the
treasurer of the county. and not
to be expended by the Roads De-
partment except upon payment to
the department by the treasurer of
the county after an order to pay
the same from the County Com
missioners has been given directly
to the county treasurer and en-
tered upon the minutes of the
Board of County Commissioners.
1t further asked the court to also
pass an order of injunction pre-
venting Dewitt from paying any
vouchers, orders or claims of the

ers, orders or claims are legally

Commissioners
Is Dismissed
Plan No More Legal Action
As Far AS Voting Machine
Controversy Concerned

The suit against the County Com
missiOners in regard to who has
the final authority in the purchase
of voting machines, has been dis
missed by order of Chief Judge
George Henderson.
The decision to dismiss the suit
as far as the defendant County
Commissioners is concerned, was
made following pre-trial confer
cnce last Thursday at Oakland.
At that time w Dwight Slower,
attorney for the County Commits
sioncrs and Horace p. Whitworth,
Jr., attorney for the two members
of the Board of Election Super
visors, agreed that both boards
have certain jurisdiction in the
purchase of the machines.
Election officials have the right
to make the original choice of a vOt-
ing machine, but that such choice
must meet with the approval of
the County Commissioners. The
latter refused to approve the more
expensive type of machine selected
by the Board of Supervisors of
Elections.
Chief Judge George Henderson,
in his written opinion, pointed out
that it was agreed that while the
Board of Supervisors of Elections
had the right to purchase voting
machines, this could only be done
with the approval of and upon
such terms as may be agreed TO by
the County commissioners"
Judge Henderson remarked that
the suit itself would not be dis
missed as counsel for plaintiff in
Dictated there was possibility he
might desire to file an amended
bill asking the Court to construe
the law as to voting machines. He
has fifteen days to do this.
At the conference both groups
seemed to agree that no voting
machines could be purchased I'M

Clarence M Upton, aged Is, both
Of near Baltimore. pleaded guilty
to charges of larceny and breaking
and entering when they appeared
before Judge Fraley. They had
waived their right to indictment
by the grand jury and had re-
qucsted an immediate trial.
Yates and Upton pleaded guilty
to breaking into the Robson
restaurant on route 40, cast of
GrantSVille, and stealing an amount
of cash, and also with breaking in
to the Ashby Tavern and service
station on route 40, west of Grants
vile, and stealing cans and gaso-

ginia, West Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania, and finally back to Balti-
more. The pair was arrested by
State police near Baltimore when

Gus difficulties previously with the
Baltimore police.
