SO for deferred employees and
dependents benefits.
There are 25 pensioners Oh
this list.
Under state law, the fund. ex-
plains Mr.. Apthorp, is entitled
TO a state subsidy as long as
the assets of the fund do not
exceed the assets as of Decem-

WHILE EVEN the most ard
ent supporter of the Red and
Gold teams will not claim this
event to be the beginning Of
an endless series of champion
ships, it does signal the end
of battling against almost
hopeless odds.
In addition to the baseball
title, Watterson experienced
its first successful basketball
season last year as the court
men posted a record of 10 vic
tories against nine losses.
NOT TO BE ouTDoNE the
Eagles football team, during
this falls schedule, immedi-
ately proceeded to post the
best-ever record on the grid
iron by winning five, while
losing four games.
To complete the picture, the
golf team absorbed the win
ming spirit and last spring
posted its best mark with a
season record of three victor
les, four losses and one tie.
THESE ACHIEVEMENTS.
while not earth shaking,
should be a hint of what is to
come. Starting from scratch
with team rosters made up of
inexperienced freshmen and
s%ophomores, the Eagles have
shown rapid improvement and
give greater promise for the
future.

sion Crusade, currently head
ed by Peter Gelpi, president,
which has attracted the atten-
ton of the national organiza-
ton.
WHEN THE SCHOOLS st.
Plus x Unit of the CSMC was
organized four years ago, a
separate branch was establish
ed in each homeroom with its
own set of officers and its own
program of prayer, study, and
sacrifice. Each group holds its
own meeting once a week.
At the beginning of the
year each homeroom group Sc
lects a mission or adopts a mis-
sionary to help. The project is
financed by weekly dues, do
nations, or special projects
such as cake raffles.
THE HoMERooM secretary
corresponds with the mission
which may be in our own coun-
try in Kentucky and South
Carolina, or in far away coun-
tries of Pakistan and Laos.
This year one group has come
even closer to home, adopting
the chapel at Ohio Penitent-
iary.
The Wattterson method of
mission organization is being
studied by those interested in
promoting more active partlci-
patton in missionary activities.
The whole idea of prayer,
study, and sacrifice is brought
much closer to a far greater
number of students.
THERE is STILL unity as

each have a representative of
the st. Plus X Council which
coordinates the mission pro-

22e, ZOO pedesirans poid the road toll in So.

In 1894 the town had no water
system. For fire fighting house
hold wells were the main reliance,
except perhaps when a fire occur
red near Wilson's Run or the Lit
tie Yough River.
Fifteen years later, on April 1st,
1909, a contract was awarded for
water system, the cost $4,000.
This sum included the cost Of in
stalling water and sewage lines,
the pump house, a hose house, and
a 100000 gallon reservoir on
Crook Crest. The contractor was
to furnish all pipe and other ma
terials.
Returning to the 1894 minutes,
measures were taken to have the
advantage of affiliation with the
Maryland Fire Association. Some
means of sounding the alarm when
fires occurred or threatened was
an imperative need. In those days
there was no local telephone serv-
ice; the siren alarm had not then
been developed. The best alarm
60 years ago was a good bell. The
bell 240 pounds, the cost S25 less
1910. Eventually the bell was pro-
cured from the McShane Bell
Foundry of Baltimore and mount
ed for use.
A librarian, Eugent Hart, was
elected by reclamation, This seems
to have been the beginning of a
library in the town of Oakland
The company subscribed for the
Baltimore American and pur-
chased other reading matter in
Guiding the Encyclopedia Brittani-
ca. Members were assessed ten
cents to help meet these expenses.
The library continued to grow; a
committee was appointed to fur
Their a circulating library.
The company was now organized
on solid footing. Between the years
1894 to 1888 many other needs
arose and with them came mount
ing expenses. A better lighting sys-
tenn was needed for the headquar-
tiers. Energetic committeeman per-
suaded the city fathers to meet the
expense of wiring the building for
electric lights and the installation
of one outdoor light. Also the coun-
Gil voted $500 to help pay for an
electrical alarm. The question of
incorporation was discussed and a
committee appointed to handle
this. Ladies of the town organized
fund raising activities. One festival
in June 1895 Melted $3.50 which
was applied to payments on the
Encyclopedia. Another festival i'll
1896 cleared S46.19.
During those years Oaklanders
were proud of musical organiza-
ton that for all around excellence
had made itself fame very far be-
You'd its immediate locale-Smith's
Military Band, named for its direc-
tor, Samuel C. Smith The band
gave a number of fund raising con-
certs.
Coats and helmets were pur-
chased; a tongue for the fire truck;
duty trumpet; pitcher for pour
ing acid into fire extinguishers
The town council provided a new
