GROWING achievement of His Gre
alive majesty, He made man in His
image Though God has been known
by many names, we who are
Christians have found the best
description of His person to be
Father Almighty" father Who
is without limits. We all know that
it is natural thing for any earthly
father to love his offspring, but all
earthly fathers have limitations
Therefore we multiply the love of
an earthly parent for his children
to a point beyond our human I'M
derstanding, then add to that a
force which is greater than any
force or combination of forces that
we as humans can possibly know
and we come up with our state
ment of faith that we believe in a
God, the Father Almighty"
We are very much aware OF the
fact that this does not in any way
completely define God, for we
know that God is too great to be
defined by words or ideas that we
could understand. But we have
found that this is an excellent start
ing point on which we base our
lives. Another thing that we have
found is that there is no greater
JOY than that in realizing that we,
not because we deserve it but out
of Gods love for us. can be chill
dren of this God who is the Father
Almighty

printed in part news article that
appeared in the Cumberland Eve
ming Times of August %, 1856, that
was still more damaging as CON
Germs us, was without foundation
.of fact, and has caused us consid-
cradle embarrassment both locally
and state wide. II occurs to us that
if YOU want TO publish something
about Shallmar and our coal oper-
alton facts only should be used.
If assessments have been removed
from the tax books we know moth
ing about it as our taxes still re-
main high and have increased
rather than decreased over the past
ten years For example. the assess
ments of property in Shallmar I'M
der the control or supervision, or
owned by Wolf Den Coal Corpora
ton, or its officers. are as follows:
1916, SG8 92600: l947, S6731000: 1913,
SOC. 29l 90; for the past three years:
1854, S5l $1,000; 1855, S51 ,8770 90: 1856
S49,71700 The reduction in the last
three years arises out of the sale
of property formerly owned by the
coal operating interests to residents
of the town over the past five or six
years. Twenty families have pur-
chased homes with an aggregate
assessment value of about $50 600 90.
which added to the above figures
for the past three years makes an
increased assessment over the first
three years mentioned. These as
seSSments do not include stock or
fixtures of the privately owned and
operated store in Shallmar We be-
lieVe that if you check the assess
mentS you will find that we are
among the highest, if not the high
est, coal operating taxpayers in the
county. No equipment has been re-
moved from our property.
That although tonnage has been
relatively small for number OF
years our mine has been kept in
good operating condition at great
expense so that we would be i'm a
position to put out maximum pro
ductiOn when the coal market i'm
proves. As to the condition of our
mine we refer you to reports of
Federal and State inspections
which are made periodically. as
well as to reports made by the Di-
rector of Maryland Bureau of
Mines.
There are 131 people in Shallmar:
twenty families own their homes
and pay taxes and our company
rents fourteen houses to EMPLOYEES
at low rental. and the properties
are in better than average condi-
ton. We do not ask for any praise
or credit in keeping the town and
coal operation available for our
people and employees but we do
feel that if our town and mining
operation are to be publicized that
you first obtain facts which are so
READILY available for this purpose.
We want to make it plain that we
are concerned with the editorial
and news item only to the extent
that they refer to Shallmar and
Wolf Den Mining Corporation.
While great damage and Injustice
have been done we feel that in fair
ness to us and our efforts a retrac-
ton or correction of the published
statements should be made.
Very truly yours.

More of the Same

The more our State Senator
writes the more | am convinced
that he always hits "below the
belt" as | stated last week. He
tries to ride me this week by say
ing that the editor goes out of his
way to defend officials who have
permitted themselves to be tricked
into subservient obedience" The
editor will always go out of his
way to defend a person whom he
feels is being bounded unfairly.
1t is because these persons
HAVEN'T been tricled into sub
scrvient obedience that all this
trouble is about. If they would do
the Senator's bidding every time
he called the tune there would be
no trouble. If the Commissioners
had agreed with the Senator that
they purchase the more expensive
voting machines, there would have
been no trouble.
Personally we believe tn Sena-
tor is throwing up a smoke screen
right now in an effort to soft pedal
his own shameful performance of
few weeks ago when he struck
Webb Dewitt and broke his jaw IN
an argument over a road near Deep
Greek Lake.

TO the Editor:
[ have been quite interested in
the articles that have been appear
ing in your paper in regards to the
county road system. There are d
few remarks I'd like to make and
a question I'd like to ask the "sys-
tenn"
Although | have only been a
voter for two years, | have on quite
few occasions noticed that being
a Democrat puts one on the wrong
side" of the political fence in this
county-especially where the coun-
ty road system is involved.
We notice that in settlements
where the majority of the country
folk are Republican, nice hard
top road goes by their door
On the other hand. some of us
Democrats have to travel roads that
are little better than COW paths,
twice as crooked, but we still have
to pay outrageously high taxes
| think it is fine and well to play
up" and build up the roads around
Deep Creek Lake and Oakland to
encourage the trade of summer
tourists. But | feel that this is be-
ing carried to extremes, and quite
few people are suffering.
Here, i'm our section of the coun-
ty. we are getting some road inn
provements. but for years one
of the worst roads has been
almost completely overlooked This
stretch Of road turns off the
Blooming Rose" hardtop to the
right at Ward Sisters farm and
continues for about four miles con-
meeting the Laurel Run section to
White Rock. Starting in at the cross
road at Sisters you travel down
what is known as Coal Bank Hill
which, by the way. has been pro-
ducing strip coal for about a year,
You then cross Laurel Run" bridge
and start up hill known as Dave
Savage Hill This hill is extremely
steep, and the road makes a big
question mark turn right on the
steepest part of the hill.
In the five year period that we
have been living in the Laurel Run
section, we have always managed
to get home somehow in the Min
ter time-usually have to go out to
White Rock and in the other way.
However, this is school bus
route Mr. Clarence Sisters bus has
on several occasions wrecked on
this hill. SO far, no one has been
seriously injured.
Every year, the people have been
hopeful that this road would be
improved There have been dozens
Of promises made-but we still
have the same old problem
If anyone is deserving of i'm
provements, the people of this sec
ton certainly are If you will check
the tax record of the parents and
grandparents of the children who
daily ride the bus over this road
you will find they have paid
enough to improve quite a bit of
road Yet they are reaping no bene-
fit.
viii some of our children have
to be seriously hurt or killed be
fore the system opens its eyes to
this situation?
This letter was written in the in
terest of the school children of our
section of the county.

Robert Bonnell, chairman Of the

Bonnell said that designating
that section Of highway as pri-

Pennsylvania favors, would reduce

All of L. S. 40 east Of Hancock

Bonnell said apparently Penn

the year takes more annually than

also should know that snow removal
expense alone amounts to $4,000
a year. That is just one item. But
Immediately he attempts to cast
suspicion on these officials without
any foundation whatsoever. In fact,
he rarely has any solid foundation
for any of his remarks.
For instance he made a state
ment two weeks ago about unnec-
esSary "junket' trips by commits
sioners. Mr.. SwartZentruber asked
him to print the following week
just one trip the commissioners had
taken that was not necessary. and
that if he didn't that would be proof
to him that he didn't know what
he was alking about. Have we seen
, any such statement? We have not
But he makes other remarks. Can
he back those up? We doubt it.
The Senator is always vague. For
instance, he says this week They
have made personal attacks upon
every public official that they could

Mr.. Friend, and just who have they
attacked? The attacks, seems to me.
have all been coming from the
other direction But instead of get
ting down to individuals and spe-
cific cases he will probably answer
next week with a big TRADE about
spending $4,000 for dynamite-in

He said he could go on revealing,

not have the opportunity to see a

might be.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1956-08-30

Let's look at the Senator's state
ment this week. He wants citizens
to know the truth so he "Reaf-
firms" his statement that the
county roads department pur-
chased over $4,000 worth of dyna-
mite in 1854. The Senator can't
reaffirm any statement he never
made until this week. This is the
first week that he has admitted
that the dynamite was purchased
in 1954-BEFORE the present
commissioners took office.
All the expenditures about which
he raves took place in 1854 or be-
fore, so just whom is he after? If
he wants to dig into transactions
of former commissioners he might
go back several years when Chess
man and Browning were in office,
or he could go back even further.
The same system of bookkeeping
was in effect then as now The
present commissioners agree they
are not crazy about the system
and that it possibly will be
changed in another year.
He says the commissioners have
gone out of the county to purchase
motor trucks and other equipment.
Apparently that is a complies
falsehood. In checking with II. d.
Swartzentruber, president of the
county commissioners about the
truth of that statement, Hub"
said that the purchases since the
present commissioners took office
include two second hand graders,
one payer and two second hand
trucks. The two trucks were pur-
chased from Ralph Pritts garage.
The Senator said he is suspic-
ious of ambiguous statements that
cover up expenditures with a fl
nancial statement that does not
give every individual item. What
published financial statement has
ever gone into detail on every
item? But again Mr.. Swartzen-
truber, when checked for the
truth of the statement, declared
that there are invoices in the
Roads office covering all items
purchased. The Senator could find
the figures or breakdon of all
items if he cared to look, just as
he found the breakdown figures on
the cost of steel.
Financial statements published
in newspapers, if they went into
minute detail, would cost several
thousand dollars. Perhaps that is
what the Senator desires.
While preparation of the annual
financial statement is the respon-
sibility of the county commissions
ers, it must also be approved by
the State auditor. Not only has
this approval been given, but last
year the county commissioners re-
ceived a letter of commentator
from the State office for the ex-
cellence of the reports

truber at which time the latter tried

One Man Looks
At God
(By Charles w. Carlson, Pastor
St Marks Evangelical Lutheran
Church, Oakland MarylandD

The next area that | will con-
slider in this series of articles will
be the Three Articles Of the
Apostles Creed This creed reach
ed its present form between the
sixth and eighth centuries AID,
although its historical roots reach
back to the very beginning of the
Church. There is tradition, long
since denied as unsound by most
scholars OF the church, that it was
composed by the Twelve Apostles
each contributing an article, on
the day after Pentecost. 1t grew
rather from the beginning, out of
the needs of the Churches of the
world to have some shortened, con-
else form of the basic premises of
the Christian faith with which they
could instruct those who were COM
ing into the Church.
Throughout the history of the
church. the Apostles Greed has
been the mainstay of any ceCl-
blance Of agreement between the
major areas of the Christian
church. Most churches, Roman, Or
thodoX, and most areas of Protes-
tantism hold to its teachings Aug
Justine spoke of it as "a rule of
faith both small and great; small
in number of words, and great in
the Importance of its ideas" Luther
said: Christian truth could not
possibly be put into shorter and
clearer statement" Calvin added:
We hold this to be beyond con-
troversy that the whole history of
Jour faith is concisely and in dis
tinct order stated in it. on the other
hand. it contains nothing in it which
cannot be supported by sound tes-
monies of the Scriptures" In other
words. an attack on the positions
stated in the Apostles Creed is
practically the same thing as an at
tack on the scriptures.
The way l see the Apostles
Greed, it is a short statement Of
the three ways in which God has
revealed Himself TO us. AS | have
stated before. mans life must be
based not on the limits of his own
reason else he would accomplish
nothing, but on the revelation Of
God to Whom man owes his exist
ence. Therefore, | feel that the
Apostles Greed has a very large
role to play in mans efforts to
understand what God would have
him do.
The first article of this creed is
III believe in God, the Father Al
mighty, Maker Of heaven and earth. >
In this statement, we who are
Christians state the basic premise
Of our existence, lie, that God
made this world and everything
that is. We deny that the earth and
we as creatures Just happened,
as some sort of coincidence over
which there is no one or anything
at the controls. On the other hand
