land Fire Hall Here
On Monday

The Johnstown Bloodmobile unit
of the American Red Cross will
visit Oakland on Monday, August
27, and will endeavor to obtain 125
pints of blood from citizens of
Oakland and nearby areas.
The unit will be set up in the
Oakland fire hall from IL o'clock
until 6 p. m.
Mrs. Grover c. Stemple, chair
man of blood recruitment in the
county, said large number of con-
sistent donors had left the COM
munity and that the success of the
visit in a large measure depended
upon new donors. Any person be-
tween the ages of Is and go are
eligible to donate blood, although
persons from IS to q must have
their parents consent.
Mondays visit will be the first
one for the new year in the blood
program 1t is planned to make four
visits to the county in a year, and
according to the present plan three
of these will be in Oakland and
one will be at Grantsville. For this
reason, persons in the Accident and
Kitzmiller areas we're urged to
come to Oakland this time to con-
tribute.
Heretofore the bloodmobile unit
has come to Oakland on Wednes-
days, and this will be the first time
for a Monday visit 1t was felt that
this day might be better suited for
the majority of donors.
Volunteer donors are asked to
contact Mrs. Grover Stemple for
definite time to appear, although
it was pointed out that this is not
absolutely necessary Any one who
can come between the hours of II
and 6 will be welcome, she stated.
A number of cards are being mailed
out to previous donors and tele-
phone calls are being made in an
effort to fill the schedule and OBJ
tain the necessary number of pints.
DR.. A. F. Jones, who works with
the blood program, pointed out
that any person in the area is en-
titled to free blood, because of an
active unit here, and said it was
necessary that we continue active
in order to maintain this record.
Recent figures indicated that Gar
rett county thus far had favor
able record in regard to blood con-
tributions, and Red Cross officials
were hopeful that this record
would continue.

The Secret Service chief had
these other remarks:
/. Political campaigning by

more agents for guarding the
President and Vice President.

2. Secret Service agents are
prepared to begin guarding Adlai

would be on duty Immediately.
3. Most of the agents troubles
come from people being too
friendly. I'VE are not only con-
cerned with the Presidents
safety. but with the crowd it
self. Someone could get pushed
under a car and get hurt" he
said.
4. Police in many places don't
watch the crowd when they are
handling such things as parade.

He cited the Washington and

excellent ones" in such matters.

Prepare Mowers
For Having Season

The haying season will be here
soon for many Maryland farmers
and some will be caught with their
mowers in poor shape, says Guy

neer.
Knife sections and ledger plates

worn guide plates are common
causes for unnecessarily heavy
draft on a mower, he says. and re-
suit in tearing instead of cutting
action. The mower if in poor con-

Gienger says any mower can
readily be put in neW-like condi-
ton at very little expense for parts.
Guards can be bent to line up per-
fectly and dull ledger plates can
be removed and replaced at con-
siderable saving over discarding
the entire guard.
New guide plates and knife clips
cost little and save the work of
renovating the old ones Badly worn

The writer of this article had al
ways voted, yet she felt she was a
political illiterate in many ways.
She came up with several conclu-
sions from which we could also
profit. When she returns TO her
state of California. she is going to
try very hard to find out about
candidates for office before the pri-
maries. What has been their past
record? How well are they fitted
for that office? She is determined
especially to watch the boys who
constantly say politics is. dirty
business and decent people will
stay out of it.
She concludes that from the
downfall of her European friends,
she has seen her own shortcomings
as a citizen, and that in the future
she will try to be as well informed
as possible on both the issues and
candidates for office.
We say it could not happen here,
but we have only TO look at some
spots where it has already hap
pened. Phoenix City, Alabama, is
an example. Vice and corruption
of every sort held sway in that city
for several years, until the ordinary
citizens took matters in their own
hands and cleaned it up. How did
such a condition come about in the
first place? The answer-a half
empty ballot box There, too. COM
placent men and women did not
vote and because they did not, soon
found their town taken over by
gangsters and hoodlums of every
sort.
We have the priceless privilege
of being a part of a free land,
where everyone has a part in its
government. But. we only retain
that privilege when we vote, and
we should try to do it intelligently.
