been living under stress will have

Riley" under no stress.
Harold j. Elser, member of this
research department, was in Oak
land Monday and in Grantsville on
Tuesday, making an inspection Of
all the bucks brought to the check
ing stations.
He said that a study which has
been made at Johns Hopkins uni
versity over the past few years
has shown that the adrenal glands
of deer vary in size, according to
the amount of stress. But thus far
the outcome is mostly theory.
The researchers want to deter
mine whether or not there is fact
as well as theory, to this searching
question.

Garrett county's bucks that the
hunters shoot are being given an
unusual once-over this year by
representatives of the department
of research and education of the
State Game and Inland Fish COM
mission.
The uncover includes not only
an impression of their teeth to de-
termine by later study just how
old the bucks were when they
breathed their last, but will entail
an inspection of their adrenal
glands to see if the bucks in their
lifetime were living under stress.
Living under stress to either a
young buck or an old buck means
whether or not they are in a
crowded area as far as deer popu-
lation goes.

Deer Kill Hits
SIS In 3 Days
Record Is On The Way To Be
Broken Again This Year
If Average Keeps Up

At least five hundred twenty
five deer have been killed in Gar
rett county during the first three
days of the six-day open season,
it was announced by game officials
this morning.
The number was 81 above the
total for the first three days of
last year and there were indica-
tions that the final total would
surpass the all-time record of COS
bucks killed, which occurred just
last year.
Hunting weather has been mild
for the first three days and rain
began falling last night, with in
dications that the remainder of the
week would turn some colder.
Most of the deer brought in were
of moderate weight. Apparently
the biggest rack of horns to show
up until this morning was brought
in by Claude Fike, of Accident,
showing II points. This animal
weighed 1871 pounds which was al
so the heaviest. There were other
1l-pointers but none that heavy.
Yesterday, Bruce Reeder, Freder-
lex, reported a 13-point, 1O1 pound
Ell to head the list.
The number of women entering
the picture continued to increase.
This year Ruth Savage, Friends
vile, got an 8-point, 154-pound
buck, while other women success
full in bringing down buck in

Elizabeth Bittinger, Swanton, a s.

Skeptical males declared it was
just the husbands giving the wo-
men credit for the kill, but there
is no foundation to such rumors.
Game wardens reported viola
tons at a minimum. Several illegal
kills have been reported, but spike
bucks are legal kills this year.

stations showed the following fig

Group Observe
instruction BY V
School Board Members, Stoff
And Principals Visit In
Washington County

Thirteen members of the Garrett
County School Board and staff
spent day last week visiting new
schools and the experimental TV
education program now going on
in Washington county. The group
was first received by William Don
aldson, director of instruction for
the county visited After short
preview of a TV program, the Wis
itors were taken through the tele-
casting studios where the TV teach
ers taught their lessons. This pro-
gram is being financed by the
Ford Foundation and the Ameri-
can Electronics corporation. 1t is
planned for five year period at
cost of several million dollars
The program at present covers
most of the HagerStoWn schools
but it is the aim of the Washing
ton County Board of Education
to carry the program to every
school in the county as soon as
adequate facilities can be installed.
The Garrett county group saw les
sons taught in geometry, music,
and geography. The TV teachers
(about ten in the county at present.
spend all day preparing a 30-min-
ordinate these lessons with those
of the classroom teacher 1t was
the reaction of the visiting group
that the program has tremendous
possibilities, and would probably
do more than anything else has
done in the past to improve the
general quality of classroom teach
ing, according to Willard L. Haw-
kins, county superintendent of
schools.
The Garrett County group ate
lullCll at llIC llCW L dilSbOlI
mentary school in HagerstOwn,
and then visited the new S3,000,000
high school in South Hagerstown.
This building won the architecture
al award at the annual meeting of
the AASA last year, and is rated
as one of the finest to be found in
the country. Enroute home the
group stopped for a hurried tour
through the new elementary school
at Clear Spring. Mr. Hawkins said
the trip proved to be stimulating
one.
William British is the superin-
tendent of schools in Washington
county and is personally directing
the television programs.

'HoboeS' Routed Out
of City Dump Home

Two self-stylcd "hobOes' who
had set up what looked to be semi
permanent headquarters near the
city dump at Oakland. were routed
out of their comfort last week by
city and state authorities and told
to move On-Or else.
City Police Chief Henry Arnold
was notified of their location sew
eral days ago and he made an in
vestigation in company with State
Police Trooper Robert Henline.
The pair had boarded up an area
beneath an old coal tipple, just
above the city dump where they
had been residing for few days.
They told officers they came here
during a snow storm and decided
to hole up" They had fire built
near the entrance to their shack
and apparently were keeping warm.
They we're feeding on pick-ups
from the city dump.
They identified themselves as
Thomas Flynn and Orbie Bryant,
with one of them giving Alabama
as his address. A check of avail
able police records was made but
apparently neither man had been
in any trouble or was wanted by
authorities So they were ordered
to break up housekeeping and leave
the area before shutdown. After a
thorough scrubbing at the county
Jail, the pair packed their belong
ings in a gunny sack and departed.

Development Of
Industry Is Aim
Of County Group
Informal Meetings Outline
PIuns-Another Meeting
Set For Friday

SSt VI iI00J
The third of series of informal
meetings was held last Friday at
Southern High school to discuss
plans for industrial promotion in
the county. An attempt was made
to get countrywide representation,
and thirty or more persons attended
from several sections of the county,
including representatives from
municipal governments, farm or
CARNATIONS, two of the County
Commissioners and others.
There was no question in the
minds of any who attended last
Fridays meeting that industry was
needed for the county. and the OBJ
ject of the meeting and those pre-
ceding it was to find the best way
to accomplish that goal.
1t was generally agreed that the
next step forward would necessi-
tate the employment of paid pro-
motional director for the entire
county, whose efforts would be to-
ward selling the county to both in
dustry and tourists.
1t was pointed out that the coun-
ty had much to offer to industry in
the way of an excellent, stable,
Woodworking labor force, good
transportation facilities and many
natural resources. plus excellent
recreational facilities to offer both
management and employees of po-
tential industries.
The matter of the annual budget
was discussed and total of $4,000
annually for a two-year minimum
program was indicated. Half of this
sum approximately would be used
for salary for a director, with the
balance for travel expenses, office
and secretarial expense.
Proposals on ways of raising
money also were discussed with
the most favored being the organi-
cation of a non-profit development
corporation with stock sold county
wide in order to raise at least a
portion of the funds needed This
is to be discussed further at
meeting to be held at the high
school in Oakland Of Friday eve
ming at o'clock.
Letters have gone out to inter-
ested persons with the request that
they attend Fridays meeting and
be prepared to outline the thoughts
and ideas of the organization or
service club they represent, with
the aim in view of determining the
amount of stock that could be sold.
All discussion last Friday was
along informal lines and projected
strictly as an attempt to get the
countrywide feeling in the matter.
The plan last Friday was out
lined by Earl Zepp, one of the in
terested business men present. He
remarked that the need for indus
try in Garrett county was urgent
and this effort seemed to be the
most concerted one made in re-
cent years toward way of at
tracing industry to the county.
1t was the feeling last Friday
that this effort could succeed and
pay off handsomely for every citi-
zen provided that countrywide in
terest could be aroused and county
wide support given.
Acknowledgement was made that
much excellent work is already be-
ing done on a volunteer basis by
organizations such as the Deep
Creek Lake Promotion Council,
the Rural Development committee
and others but that members of
these organizations were devoting
about all the time they could spare
to such efforts.
