Thieves Still Busy
In Area But No
More Thefts Here

Although no additional robberles
have occurred in the Oakland area
since the middle of March, there
has been activity in other areas.
Another safecracking job was
pulled off in the Petersburg area
last Friday night Authorities in
Maryland, West Virginia and Penn
sylvania have been faced with
several safe-crackings in the past
several months. More than $1,000
was taken from a Pepsi Cola plant
in Cumberland. There have been
other safe jobs in Hyndman, Pa.
Kingwood, Romney and Oakland.
In Petersburg the thieves took
more than $500 from Southern
States store. They entered by q
back door and prior to entering
the building they broke into a
garage and stole two tanks OF
oxygen and torch. They cut d
hole in the center of the safe and
used a wire to fish out the
money. A large amount of money
was overlooked.

Del. Bucket DEGREES
Lobby of Teachers

The school teacher lobby Satur-
day was called a monster trying
to bleed the state white" by Del.
Bucket tD-Garrett).
He cast the only vote against a
pay raise for the teachers. This
was the House version to make no
pledge of raises beyond next year.
Il never had strong convictions
about the teachers until last
night" the first-time delegate
said.
After that pressure, l was GER

wondered who was going to do the
legislating. Almost every man was
cornered and we had to fight our
way into the chamber.
IF we're going to be controlled
by pressure groups and other de-
partments of the state, heaven help
this State"
Bucket recalled that earlier in
the session the lobbying activities
of Jack Pollack, Baltimore Demo
cratic leader, had been criticized
on the floor.
Hes a very little fish in the
pond compared to what l saw last
night" Bucket said.
Asserting he owes the first allie
glance to the State and second to
his county, Bucket expressed con-
Germ over financing of the teacher
pay raises.
I'D like to ask their pressure
groups and the teachers who is
going to pay if they keep coming

Oakland Council
Adopts Daylight
Saving Time

The Oakland mayor and town
council, in regular session on Mon
day evening, adopted daylight saw
ing time for this year beginning
Sunday morning, April e.
Just how many others towns of
the county would follow suit was
not known at this time. The county
offices will be prohibited from
adopting daylight time since the
question appeared on the general
election ballot November of 1856
and was defeated by vote of g.
312 to $3.50.
The County Commissioners took
no definite action in the matter,
which made standard time official
for the county business. However,
number of offices are expected
to announce that during the sum-
mer season those employees who
normally go to work at o'clock
and quit at o'clock, would go to
work at 7 o'clock and quit at 4
o'clock
The county school system plan
ned to operate on daylight time
because of the difficulty in making
school bus connections with school
buses operated in Allegany county
who carry some Garrett county
children to schools in that county.
Last year Friendsville, Accident,
Crellin, Mt. Lake Park and Bloom
ington adopted daylight time, and
it is presumed they will repeat
their action this year.
Daylight time will end officially
on the last Sunday in September,
which is September 81. None of
the towns of the county nor the
School Board plan to continue day
light time any later than Septem-
Der q, even though some eastern
cities carry it through to the end
of October.
