ny DIR. PAUL PoPENoE

Men and women on this
continent are, generally
speaking, expected to marry
for love. Unfortunately what
they think is love frequently
turns out to be indifference
or hatred, and the marriage
is liquidated. So no one can
depend blindly on the fact
that she thinks she's in love.
But what if she knows that
she's not in love? Would
that marriage turn out any
better? Or would it. be a
marriage at all? These are
the very serious questions
which are troubling Laura.
Here's the way she tells it:
II am 80 years old. the
youngest of five children.
The others are all married
and gone. I'm still living at
home because I guess I've
never been weaned. I'm shy
and self-conSciouS and have
hardly ever had a date with
a man. But / think I can
honestly say that I've good
h alth, intelligence and
moral character; and I would
certainly like to have a home
and family.
For some years I have
been going with a man who
is three years younger than
myself. but otherwise of
much the same background.
He is an only child, very self
conscious and diffldent. much
overdominated by his par
ents. both of whom have re-
Gently died. His moral char
acter is very superior. He says
he has never been IN love
with any girl before but he
is in love with me and wants
me to marry him.
"Of course, I've never be-
fore had an offer of marriage
and I may never have an
other. My parents don't want
me to marry him or. I sus-
pect, anyone else for that

Weed Killer Thought
Cause of I'll Cattle

Several cattle have died and
others made seriously i'll along the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad tracks
in recent weeks The cattle alleged
ly we're poisoned by the weed-kill-
ing spray put out along the rail
road right of way
Among the stockmen and farmers
whose herds have been affected
were Robert Bowser, Hutton; Boyd
Lee, Fingerboard road Lester
Gank, Hutton; and Walter Hamill,
Deer Park. Walter Hamill lost
three cows which DR.. F. d. Custer,
veterinarian, said died as the re-
suit of arsenic poisoning. He said
Lee had lost two with others be-
coming ill, while Bowser had lost
two with three becoming i'll.
1t was understood that the per-
sons who had lost cattle were en-
tering claims against the railroad
Similar occurrences had occurred
around Clarksburg, and in the vi
cinity of Moorefield, w. Va
The spray apparently being
spread by a high pressure nozzle,
had drifted beyond the boundaries
of the railroad right-of-way.

Most of believe, unconsciously take hats off
to the $50 volunteer firemen in county, but it
brought to mind rather forcefuy last Thursday
evening at dinner honorng thirteen members of the Deer
Park and Oakland departments.
These fremen had spent night week for 20 weeks
during the winter and spring months three hours each
meeting with several hours of study to prepare themselves
just in order to be better firemen and to learn how
bat fire with the least loss the persons affected The year
before twenty had spent the of time
taking basic that would make it possible for them
to take the advanced course just completed
We aware that fighting fire took a lot of time
that often fireman's clothes ruined by waer-that
sometimes fireman injured while at work-that most
firemen loved what they dong-but it not until
the other night that realized that it also took special
knowledge to fight fire properly
AS pointed out, fighting fire is getting complicated
and to do it properly there be courses of study
There those who like to criticize fremen way
they go about eXnguhing bazes but always thought
they did terrific job Now that they studying the tech
ncaities Of fire fighting expect better per-
formances. But this week especially to take our
hats Oft to these volunteers who do their job with absolutely
no thought OF reward They do it behalf of their fellow
men, Well admit they all enjoy this type of fighting but
why not be joyful while rendering such particular type
service to humanity All deserve world credit and chiefly
those who have used long hours of study improve their
effciency-for the benefit of other people

Sewage Disposal
Causing Concern

The Board of Education encoun-
tered difficulty this week in com
pleting arrangements for the dis
posal of sewage at the new Ele-
mentary school now under construc-
ton near Southern High school,
just east of the Oakland city limits.
During a meeting with State
Health department officials in Bal
timore last Friday, the health au-
thorities said they would refuse to
issue permit
The Board of Education had
made satisfactory arrangements
with the Mayor and Town Council
of Mt. Lake Park to attach the
schools sewage line to the Mt
Lake Park sewers. The Board main
tanned that the project was merely
one of transfer-that is, transfer
of a certain amount of sewage from
ullG SGNcI llllc W dIOlICl. OIlc vi
the two present elementary school
buildings in Oakland is to be closed
when the new school is opened,
and the board asserted there would
be no additional amount of sewage
involved and that it would end up
in the same place-that place being
the Little Youghiogheny river
Some officials were of the opin-
ion the health department was US
ing this incident to try to force the
two towns to construct a sewage
disposal plant Construction of
such a plant would cost a minimum
of half million dollars, according
to authorities.
Attending last Fridays meeting
were II. D. Swartzentruber, presi-
dent of the County Commissioners
and Willard Hawkins, county
superintendent of schools.
Finally the health officials agreed
to reconsider the request and are
holding another meeting today in
Baltimore, which Mr.. Hawkins is
attending.
