Deer Park Spring water has been

of discriminating travellers and al

A familiar sight to diners on
BROS feature trains is the silver

holder, this water has through the
years, come to be something of a
conversation piece among travellers
"a feature regarded as another
one of those small extras" which
give B&O dining service its special
distinction.
But though many have enjoyed
this crystal-clear drinking water
with its delightfully."- palatable

comparatively few know in full the

Burned Bonds,
Suspect Says

A bonfire in the backyard of
a Baltimore home did away with
$25, 900 worth of government bonds
stolen from the A. E. Fox hardware
store in Friendsville, one of two
suspects told State Police this
week.
Cpl. Samuel Conrad said Oliver
Rocket, So, has admitted that he
burned the savings bonds in the
backyard of his home after tear
ing them in pieces.
Baltimore police have been asked
to check on evidence that the bonds
were destroyed. Earlier, authorities
sifted ashes located at spot in
West Virginia where some papers
taken from the safe were burned,
but they found no evidence of the
bonds.
Rocket and Ellwood Kissncr, 20,
formerly of Friendsville, are lodg-
ed in the Garrett County Jail
charged with burglary and grand
larceny of $3.50, including the
bonds.
A third man, believed to have
some $1,000 of the cash in his pos
session, is the subject of 17-state
manhunt, but is still at large.
About $4,000 in cash was re-
covered from a rockpile near
~ endsville.

ton by the fair organization and
many county groups

tension organizations, and COM
mercial concerns occupy the newly
constructed exhibit building on the
fair grounds at McHenry A num-
Der of commercial displays are also
located outside the structure.

Blood Program
EmperiIed Unless
More Is Secured
County Residents Are Using
More Than They Are
Contributing

Continued Garrett county partici-
patton in the Red Cross blood pro-
gram hinged this week on more ac-
tive support from local citizens, it
was stated by officials in charge.
Mrs. Grover Stemple, blood re-
cruitment chairman, said that dur
ing the past year local residents
had received at least 20 more pints
of blood than they had contributed.
If this trend continues, she said,
the bloodmobile would cease its
visits to the area and the Garrett
County Memorial hospital would
no longer be eligible to provide
free blood to patients.
Mrs. Stemple said that last year
the county's quota was 361 pints
and only 331 pints were supplied
During the same period, the hos.
pital at Oakland received 1876 pif1ts
and county residents in other hos
pitfalls accounted for at least 25
more.
Henry w. McComas, hospital SUI
perintendent, yesterday stressed
the need for continued participation
in the program. He said the hos
pital depended heavily on the
Johnstown blood center for rou-
tine and emergency supplies and
expressed much concern lest this
source be discontinued.
When the bloodmObile next visits
Oakland on August 26, the quot5
will be for 12O pints. The unit will
be at the fire hall from noon until
six p. m.
In addition to donors, Mrs. Stem
pie said the work is handicapped
by a lack of volunteer registered
nurses. Six nurses, in addition to
nurses aides, are required for the
operation, she pointed out, and
asked anyone with nursing training
to. volunteer their services by con
tacting her at DE 4-2186.

and God was his King.
PRACTICAL Points of the
Lesson: Josiah the king was in
fluenced greatly by jeremiah
the prophet. The prophet may
have had a part in Josiah's
conversion. Ministers of the
Gospel should greatly influ-
ence political leaders. 1t is
good to know that Josiah was
one of the best kings in Israel,
even though He was the son
of wicked father. Josiah's
mothers name is recorded,
evidently for the reason that
she welded a godly influence
over her son. JoSiah'S reign
was great not because of its
length but by reason of its
character His reign is charac-
terized by reformation at the
house of God, the discovery of
the lost Bible and then a ma
tional reformation. The Bible
is a book for all people. The
reading of the Bible brought
about a revival and national
reformation.
