Current Economic
Conditions Reviewed

Current economic conditions in
Garrett county were given the
'on,e over by Baltimore Sun
tat correspondent, Ernest B. Fur
gurson, last week and were related
IN two articles appearing in that
paper Sunday and Monday.
The writer in one article gave a
picture Of the county's ghost towns
and what still goes on in those
areas, and in the second article
stressed farming and recreation.
Less than one in ten of the
houses in NindcX is lived in, with
more than one of the houses
sprouting a television antenna.
Other ghost towns listed were
Kempton and Shallmar The writer
described Kcmpton as rotting
town marked by half-mile long
scar of waste coal, with ducks
honking in big mud puddles be-
tween piles of dust.
The second article was more OPP
timistic with facts on the improve
ment in farming and recreation
and the expanding promotion of
the latter in the county. He tells
of plans to develop the area as a
winter resort to boost the economy
the year around instead of just in
the summer.
Dairy farming was listed as the
county's number one agricultural
industry, followed by live stock and
poultry farming, beef, sheep and
turkeys, then general and vege-
table farming.

"A leading Protest Epis copal

wrote in the letters column of The

a reply to another clergyman who
argued against segregation. Mr.
Brydon's letter follows:
