Family "Pounces'' on
Two County Officers

When it started out only two
members of a family were wanted
for malicious destruction of prop
erty, but before the entire episode
was finished, the whole family was
involved.
County authorities gave this ac-
count:
Oscar Upole preferred charges
against Norma Edith Reckart for
malicious destruction of property,
to-wit: breaking windows out of a
1850 Studebaker automobile, owned
by Upole, on August "a. Pauline
Upole, wife of Oscar, also preferred
charges against Mary Myrtle Reck-
art, for assault and battery on
the same day.
Sheriff James E. Frantz and
Maryland State Trooper first class
Donald Tucker went to the Reck-
art home, at the top of the noun
tain near Deer Park. to serve the
warrants and place the two women
under arrest.
They were able to bring in only
one of the women, Mary Myrtle
Reckart. whom they placed in jail
and they told a story of being set
upon, stoned, scatchtd and other
wise bruised and defaced. Frantz
had his shirt torn from his back.
Trooper Tucker received numerous
scratches. Their automobile was
scratched and defaced. Stones and
sticks flew thick and fast.
Now there are warrants for Pansy
Reckart and Naomi Reckart, charg-
ed with making an assault. Pansy
came to Oakland yesterday to see
Mary Myrtle, and so now she too
is confined Officers are still seek
ing Naomi and Norma.
The trial before Trial Magistrate
Boyd Sanders, Sr., was slated for
l o'clock Tuesday, but the schedule
had to be revised. 1t may or may
lot be held today, depending upon
the success of the officers in bring
ing in the other two women.

No Decrease Noted
In Postal Activity

The increase in postal rates APP
parently has had no effect on re-
ceipts at the Oakland postoffice.
On the contrary business seems to
be increasing, according to T. j.
Stanton, assistant postmaster.
Stanton said that the increase in
total receipts appeared to be much
more than just the amount OF
additional postage required for first
class letters and post cards over
the previous rate.
Some rural deliveries had noted
a decrease but in the overall pic.
ture, postoffice officials seemed tc
feel that the customers had taken
the increase in stride and were
