New Students Asked
To Register, Aug. IS

Students who will be attending
Southern High School for the first
time this coming year are asked
to register Monday, August 25, Ken
meth Johns, principal, said today.
While this early registration is
not absolutely necessary, Mr. Johns
pointed out that it would save con-
siderable time on the opening day
of school. A student who registers
early will have his class schedule
prepared in advance and will need
to report to the office only briefly
on the opening day of school.
New students were encouraged to
bring their parents with them. They
will be taken on a tour of the
school and the facilities and educa-
tional opportunities offered will be
explained.
Mr.. Johns also pointed out that
it would be helpful to grade place
ment if new students brought their
last report cards with them when
reporting for registration.

Premium Winners
AT Fair Listed

Prize money totaling S2,52875
was distributed to 312 individuals
who exhibited at the second annual
Garrett County Fair last week
1t was a case of almost every
body winning some recognition for
their exhibits. Fair officials an
nounced that there were 346 eX-
hibitors, as compared to 245 last
year and that these exhibitors
placed 1,545 exhibits in the various
classes.
Top premium winner was John
Wildesen, son of Mr. and Mrs.
William Wildesen, of Gormania,
who came away from the fair with
$164OO. Next highest to him was
Guy Stanton with premium awards
totaling S55 Gerald Glotfelty and
Stuart Stanton had $50 each, with
the balance of the others getting
lesser amounts down to 50 cents.
Prize money seemed to be more
evenly distributed among more
people this year Wildesen was at
the CUMBERLAND Fair this week add
ing to his prize money to the eX-
tent of 500 or more.
Various statistics we're being
gathered by fair officials but all
of them were pointing to the fact
that the fair was most successful
in attracting large number of
people, and that it would also be
successful financially. A new
cattle barn and new display barn
we're constructed this year and
the electric transformers had to
be replaced which ate into the
anticipated profits, but it was
thought the final tabulation would
show the fair association in the
black
Some of the first prize winners
included the following:
Mrs. S. D. Whipkey, door mat;
Mrs. Paul S. Parker, plastics, tray;
Howard Green, novelty, white
turkeys, goose; junior heifer year
ling, two-year-old heifer; Mrs.
Helen Glotfelty, pullets, two
classes, beets, rush bottom seat;
Gerald Glotfelty, mixed grasses,
colt foal, stallion Shetland pony;
Mrs. Donald MacMurray, paintings,

In an effort not to be outdone
by his older brother, Tom Wilde
sen, aged 8, got first on his heifer
calf and took second place in the
showing and fitting contest among
the junior division, for boys ages

Both are children of Mr.. and

Evening Practice
For Grid Candidates
Planned at Southern

Evening practices for boys who
plan to play football at Southern
forthe coming year was announced
today by Dick Travis, athletic di-
rector and football coach at the
local school,
Practice will get underway
promptly at GAS and conclude
around 900. Morning practice ses-
sion will be continued as usual.
The afternoon session has been
dropped in favor of the evening
session to allow boys who work on
farms and other jobs, to be present.
The fact that this time of the
year is in the midst of threshing
season has prevented several boys
from reporting" Mr.. Travis said.
Also, a number of boys are work
ing at other jobs hoping to earn
money to take care of all their
school needs for the coming year"
To date a total of twenty four
boys have reported to practice.
However, indications are that the
list will increase to thirty five or
more when school resumes Tues
day, September 2.

Pollution Control
OF Little Yough
Under Discussion
Results Of Recent Meeting
TubuIuted By Public
Health Engineer

Representatives from Oakland.
Mt. Lake Park, Loeb Lynn Heights,
and Deer Park met recently to
discuss the unSanitary conditions
existing in the area because of
sewage entering the Little Youghio-
gheny river.
Results of the session were tabu-
lated by w. Mclean Bingley, public
health engineer for the Maryland
State Department of Health.
Most of the discussion centered
around the existing conditions and
the steps that should be taken to
make it possible to correct the
situation.
Oakland at the present time is
under order of the State Board of
Health to investigate the unsatis-
factory sewage conditions existing,
but town authorities indicated in
their opinion that conditions in the
entire area suggested the desir-
ability of providing joint treatment
facilities for all the communities
rather than for Oakland alone.
Attending the session were Rus
sell L. Smith, mayor and Henry w.
McComas, councilman, Oakland; H.
NJ Weeks, mayor and Earl Sebold,
councilman, Mt Lake Park; E. c.
Clatterbuck, mayor, Deer Park;
Harry c. Edwards. GrantSVille; and

Arthur F. Jones, county health of
ficer; Charley b. Miller, sanitarian,
county health department.; Thomas

ley, of the State Department of
Health.
1t was pointed out that Oakland,
Mt. Lake Park and Loeb Lynn had
sewers which discharge directly to
Little Youghiogheny river but that
Deer Park had no sewers. The
group considered possible ways
in which the sewage could be con-
veyed to one point for treatment.
Health department officials said
it was entirely feasible from an

head The grass was about three
feet high and Shaffer said that he
was unaware the boy was in the

Southern Hi Students
Earn More Credits
Than Are Needed

In a report issued by Kenneth
Johns, principal of Southern Gar
rett County Jr. ST. High School,
it was revealed that students at
the local high school earn consider
ably more credits than are neces-
sary for graduation.
To be eligible for graduation
from high schools in Maryland, a
student must have accumulated a
minimum of sixteen credits while
in grades nine through twelve.
Actually, only one student in
last years graduating class re-
ceived the bare minimum, Mr..
Johns said. Seventy seven students
out of a graduating class of ninety
two earned twenty or more units.
OF the seventy seven students earn
ing twenty units or more, forty
three earned twenty one units. or
five more than required by state
regulations.
Among the subjects required of
all students. regardless of the
course they pursue, are four years
of English, one year of American
history. one year of mathematics
and two years Of science.
These taDulations indicate that
students are taking full advantage
of the educational opportunities
offered to them" the local princi-
pal stated. All students are en-
couraged to schedule minimum
of four solid subjects that receive
one full unit. Certain classes such
as physical education and tipping
received only one-half units.
The fact that Southern's students
are more than meeting the state
requirements should be source
of pride and satisfaction for par
ents," Mr. Johns said.
