The school has been in existence for over
a quarter OF century and during that

as a fairly accurate gauge of Americas

1929 with $50 students. But along came
the big crash and bang!-down went the

From nine members at the start the faculty
has grown to 35. not including the five
driver training instructors and three part
time guidance counseorS. This semesterS
weekly schedule lists SO sessions.
What's more. the registrar says she re
ceiveS at least 10 calls a week from individ-
ualS who'd like to take certain courses as

about 10000 brochures last year to these

One explanation for the programs great

Alarming Proposal &.

There is good for alarm the recent
menation of the Commission Government Security that
would make it federal crime to publish information which
had, by any leaked past government security
rangements.
All responsible American journalists recognize the need
for safeguarding information that would affect the national
security defense But secret escapes through
eminent DOORS through failure of its custodans federal
suppress by fines and prison sentences upon Amer
ca citizens and press could be terribly dangerous than
the security leak" itself.
History makes it tragcally clear that furnishing the
for publishing facts is fatal to nations freedom.
Aware Of this the trainers of the first ten amendments
the u Constitution provided that Congress shall make
law abridgng the freedom of speech of the press And
this principle has precedence the first article of Bill
of Rghtsnot to favor the but to pepeuate peo
pies freedom to be informed.
The violation of this principle proposed by the so-caled
Wright Commission would reduce our national law to the
level of PerOn dictatorship in Argentina where news re-
poers and their subject the

County To Stand
Alone In Weather

Some flat landers have always
said so, but the Weather Bureau
is about to make it official
H. l.. Alkire, mcteorologist in
charge of the Baltimore office Of
the bureau, who is in Western
Maryland on an inspection tour,
said that the bureau is redesignat-
ing forecast areas in the state, with
Garrett county to be in a class all
Of it own.
In many instances, Allegany
county is paired with Garrett in the
western area predictions, but actu-
ally only the area in Allegany
county west of Clarysville gets
the kind of weather being predicted.
East of that community, he said,
milder weather in winter and
warmer weather in the summer
usually prevails.
Weather stations in this county
are located at Oakland, Bittinger,
New Germany, Sines, Shallmah'
and Bayard, with rainfall re-
corder at Merrill.

ASC Committee
Will Be Recognized

The Maryland State ASC COM
mittee and the Garrett County
ASC committee have approved a
reorganization of the community
system used in connection with
the election of Agricultural Stabili-
cation and Conservation Commune
ty committeeman, it was announced
by H. Robert Dewitt, chairman of
the County ASC committee.
The number of ASC commune
ties in the county has been re-
duced from 16 to 8. Under the old
system some. Election Districts
we're divided into separate COM
munities. Under the new plan
several Election Districts are COM
bined but none is divided. ASC
communities will be as follows:
Community A will be election
district 2; Community B, election
districts 5 and g. Community c.,
election districts and IL; Com
munity d, election districts 8, IL
and IS; Community f, election
districts ! and a; Community F,
election districts 10, 10 and Is;
Community G, election districts 7
and IA; Community H, election dis
trict 8.
This change was made because
it was believed that the number
of committeeman elected each year
in the county was greater than
necessary and that considerable
funds could be saved by reducing
the number. Only half as many
: IN nitteemen will be elected in
the county under the new system,
Three committeeman are elected
each year for each of the communi-
ties. Election of these committee
men will be carried out by mail
during the month of October. The
chairman of each committee will
serve as a delegate to county
meeting at which an ASC Com
mittee for the county will be
elected

81 believe the teachers at South
ern High school are the best l
have ever had"
This statement, coming from
a new senior student this year,
carries the opinion of an expert.
For Thelma Show has attended
fourteen schools throughout the
North American continent and
Europe.
But after extensive travelling
during her seventeen years, Miss
Show is now living in Mt. Lake
Park with her uncle and aunt, Rev.
and Mrs. Randall Prince. Her
father is chief engineer for the
NJ. w. Kellogg Construction com
pany, and until now his daughter
has followed him from one piece
of work to another.
Last year she offended Antwerp
High School, in Belgium. Among
other places the family has lived
are West Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Louisiana, California, Colorado,
Kentucky, Virginia, Montreal,
Canada, Edmonton, Alberta, Can
ada and finally Maryland. She is
native of Washington, D. c.
UNDERSTANDABLE, Miss Show says
language difficulties encountered
in a foreign school make learning
difficult, and thus plus the fact
that due to moving her school
ing last year amounted to nine
weeks, makes it necessary for her
to take special courses in English
and history. She is enrolled in the
academic course.
"Traveling about so much makes
it difficult to adjust to the vari-
Gus schools and to learn to know
the Students" she said. But living
abroad makes you appreciate the
good things in America and real
ize the opportunities here"
Her main interest is music, and
last year she was a member of the
Glee Club at the Belgium high
school.
Miss Show also has scrapbooks
of the countries in which she has
been. She has articles of interest
from al the states and countries
she has visited.

Kinble Speaks To
Local Lions Club

Operation of the State Depart
ment of Employment Security was
outlined to members of the Oak
land-Mt Lake Park Lions club
Monday evening by Robert B.
Kimble, executive director.
Kimble explained operation of the
system, services offered by
local offices to both employers
and employees, and told how I'M
employment funds help stabilize
the economy of the area.
He invited employers to visit
the Oakland office and learn of the
many facilities provided. He
stated that hiring through the
local office would reduce the
amount of money paid in unemploy-
ment insurance and eventually
bring the employers taxes down.
1t was pointed out that the Oak
land office is open Monday through
Friday, and operates three timer
ant offices, Kitzmiller, Friends
vile and Grantsville.
Mr. Kimble stated that if enough
interest is shown by employers in
the area, he would bring specialists
from the Baltimore office to ex-
plain the taxes, where they go,
and how the employers can save
money

Dept. Of Health
Orders Sanitary
Plant For Town

The State Beard of Health Mon
day gave notice to the Town of
Oakland that within six months
it submit plans fo2 adequate"
treatment of industrial waste and
sanitary Sewage.
Robert w. Brown, Chief of the
Health Departments bureau of
environmental hygiene, reported
that the town had given permits
sion to the Sterling Processing
company to discharge waste into
the municipal water system.
He claims this was Just "a short
circuit to putting the waste into
the Little Youghioghcny river, as
the towns waste eventually reaches
that stream. He said the waste
ended up in the river without
treatment.
Mayor Russell l.. Smith, of Oak
land, was quoted as saying that the
town would not go along with a
state sewage treatment plant
directive but will give full coopera-
ton if an area sanitary district
is formed.
He added that Oakland is not
interested in a plan which would
call for treating sewage in one
spot along the river. at would be
no use for US to clean up and have
the rest of the river remain dirty"
he said.
The poultry processing plant,
the Mayor said, is the first industry
Oakland has been able to get, and
he claimed it was mot hurting the
river"
AS soon as we get an industry"
he added, 1.-THE bureaucrats try to
drive it out"
Mayor Smith said the state is
making the move because the in
dustry was brought into the town.
He charged that the Health De-
partment is "Ganging up on US"
The solution, he added, is to
"c.ean up the river once and for
ALL"

Frost Hits County,
Damage Is Slight

A major portion of Garrett county
experienced it's first real frost of
the season early Wednesday morn
ing but the damage appeared to be
light.
Oakland had an official low OF
81 degrees. At Savage River dam
it was 27.
There was some rain on four
days during the week. Friday, Sat
urday, Sunday and Monday, but
still not enough to improve the
water level in the wells that supply
Oakland. Yesterday a number of
homes were without water for
several hours, and while the pres
sure built up during the night the
situation was still critical today.
There were indications that the
Board of Education might have to
call off school for the balance of
the week, but a call to Southern
High school this morning indicated
that the supply was sufficient and
that the students were watching
carefully every bit that was used.
The Sterling Processing company
which has its own we'll and a suf-
ficient amount of water for their
needs, pumped a quantity of water
into the city mains yesterday eve
ming which helped to build up the
reserve in the reservoir.
1t was cool again this morning
but there WIS no frost.
