School Enrolment
Increased by 100

Garrett County school enroll
ment increased about 100 during
the first week and the total now
reaches 1850 pupils The enrolment
is now approximately the same as
that of last year with a few more
pupils yet to enter.
Always at the beginning of the
school year there are minor prob
lens such as adjustments in bus
schedules, reshuffling of desks and
furniture needs, back orders of text
books and Institutional supplies to
be received, and relocation of nu-
merous bus shelters. But, accord
ing to Willard l.. Hawkins, county
superintendent of schools, such
problems this year seemed to be at
a minimum. Every school got its
program underway in record time
he said and added that all school
cafeterias were in readiness and
served regular lunches on the open
ing day.
He also pointed out that full
staff of teachers was on hand in
every school. In some Maryland
counties this was not the case with
the shortage of teachers making it
impossible to fill all vacancies.
Mr.. Hawkins felt that another
factor contributing to the efficien-
cy was the week of pre-school
meetings for principals, teachers
and cafeteria workers. During this
week detailed plans were developed
for the opening week of the new
school year. There are 1874 teachers
and principals staff in the Gar
rett county schools.
Mr.. Hawkins outlined detectives
for the school year as including inn
provements in health and physical
education, citizenship education,
vocational education, outdoor edu-
cation, art and music education, as
well as basic training in funda-
mental general education subjects
such as math, science, English and
history.
He urged and invited all parents
to join Parent-Teacher organiza-
ton and to give their support to
the fast growing demand for better
schools and better education for all
youth everywhere.

River Commission Is
Asking For Plan On
Tipping Its Power

The Interstate Commission on the
Potomac River Basin was asking
Tuesday to draft for four states
and the District of Columbia a sug-
gested amendment to the area com
ract to broaden the powers of the
commission and give it regulatory
and control authority.
Rep. Dewitt S. Hyde said the
commission was also asked to sub
nit, with the amendment, its re-
commendation on the ACCESSIBILITY
of such an amendment.
The meeting was held at White
Sulphur Springs, w. Va. Rep. Hyde
termed the meeting "a big sue
cess" The purpose of the meeting,
he explained, was to receive in
structions from the states involved.
Cows. Theodore r. McKeldin, of
Maryland and William c. Marland,
of West Virginia, interrupted their
activities at the Governors confer
ence in order to meet on the ques-
ton. They and representatives of
the District and Pennsylvania
agreed to take up with the commits
sion how to strengthen its power.
Virginia was not represented.
McKeldin told the session:
The use of streams to carry off
industrial waste is not necessarily
an evil in itself 1t is the abuse of
the privilege that causes the trou-
BILE. 1t is the careless and reckless
poisoning and polluting of waters
which calls for regulations and rules
by prescription.
The Interstate Commission was
organized in 1910. Its powers are
limited to giving advice and max
ing recommendations. The request
is to be acted upon at the meeting
in Oakland September 20 and 81.
Rep Hyde pointed out that no con-
gressional action is required. There
already is enough law on the books
for the Commission to expand" he

Republican Pulls
Its Newspapers From
Browning's Store

Last Friday morning The Re
publican withdrew its newspapers
from the newsstand at BrOwning's
Store in Oakland when the manage
ment refused to take out number
of inserts it had placed in the
papers offered for sale
The courts have ruled that a
newspaper has complete control of
its product until it is in the hands
of the customer. Since newspapers
are put on neWSstands on cOnSign-
ment, always taking back what
papers are not sold, and not ac-
cepting payment until they are sold,
they are therefore not the property
of a particular store, but belong to
the newspaper until sold.
When this fact was pointed out
to the management the store still
refused to take out the inserts. We
explained that we didn't care if he
wanted to stand there and pass out
a circular every time he sold a
paper, but he couldn't legally place
any insert in our newspaper. He
still refused.
So we took our newspapers from
the store. Until it is agreed that
there will be no inserts placed in
the newspaper there will be no
more newspapers sold at Brown
ing's.
In the meantime The Republican

store, Oakland Pharmacy, Gonder's
Confectionery and Hamills Sta
tionery and Book store. in Oakland,
