Amendment To Towns Charter
Would Speed Water Improvements
Council Seeks To Borrow
Funds To Insure Adequate
ur-'Round Supply

The Mayor and Town Council
of Oakland approved resolution
to amend the town charter at the
regular meeting on Monday night
and ordered proper steps taken for
the amendment to become effec-
tive.
The amendment will empower
the town to borrow enough funds
to complete the improvements to
the towns water system, so that
an adequate supply will be avail
able for every month of the year.
As a result of the change in the
charter it will be possible for the
town to borrow up to II percent of
the value of the taxable property.
The old charter had limited the
borrowing to one percent.
The improvement of the towns
water supply has been under dis
cussion for many months and the
latest plan is to use the water Of
the Youghiogheny river, from
above where waters of the Little
Youghiogheny river empty into it,
piping it to Oakland and running
the water through filtration
plant. The improvements contem-
plated would cost in the neighbor-
hood of S500,000
An advertisement concerning the
amendment appears i'll today's is
sue of The Republican.

not there was a garbage ordinance.
This was the result of letter from
a taxpayer whose name is not
known who had complained of
people who refuse to buy garbage
cans but put out their refuse in
bags which are strewn all over the
place, thereby attracting rats, pole
cats and making filth. He praised

Gets Car as Present

An unknown number of generous
contributors, members of ST
Paul's Methodist church in Oak
land, presented their pastor the
Rev. Charles Goodwin, with an au-
tomobile on Monday evening.
1t was a nine-passenger Plymouth
station wagon and came as COM
plete surprise to the minister.
Creigh Teets knocked on the pas
tors door on Monday about din
ner time and said Il have some
thing here that you and your
entire family need" Pastor God
win thought it was kind of sales
talk and proceeded to eat his din
ner. But after dinner TeetS told
him to give him the keys to his
present automobile and he would
turn over the keys to the station
wagon. He never did say who the
donors were and Pastor Goodwin
still doesn't know,
But he is sure that, whereas on
Monday afternoon he was owner
of a 1855 two-door Ford car, he
was now owner of a 1859 model
station wagon.
Goodwin came to Oakland in
June of 1858 from the Moorefield
charge. He was reappointed to
Oakland for his second year last
month. Pastor and Mrs. Goodwin
have six children.

Holiday Weather Ideal

The weather on the mountain
top has been considered ideal for
vacationers. The holiday week
end of Friday, Saturday and Sun
day was considered ideal with a
good breeze blowing to keep the
thermometer from mounting above
the sos. Almost an inch of rain
fell throughout the area Sunday
night and Monday morning. Skies
cleared Monday afternoon and the
balance of the week has been
clear and warm with cool nights.
The rain did not add materially
to the water supply and the town
council still maintained its ban on
unnecessary use of water by
sprinkling of lawns and washing
automobiles.

State Is Planning
More Park Lands

State officials are hoping to add
$500 acres of park land next year
to a program aimed at developing
recreational areas for Maryland.
More than two thirds of a recent
$2,750,000 capital improvement
budget request is for land acquisi-
ton, Joseph F. Kaylor, director of
the Department of Forests and
Parks, said.
The department has a 10-year
goal of expanding the present park
system from 1900 to $4,000 Most
of the large projects are underway.
1--WE are giving priority to the
ington-BaltimOre population
corridor because if We don't get
land there soon we won't get it,
Kaylor said.
The chief project in this section
is Gunpowder Falls State Park
which eventually will cover 1880
acres serving the metropolitan Bal
timore area. The Legislature al
ready appropriated S1000,000 to-
ward the $3,518,0O0 project. The
department will request an addi-
tional 81 100000 next year and the
remaining S1,O18,OO0 for land ac-
QUESTION in fiscal 1862
Kaylor explained that all of the
money doesn't actually go for the
purchase of land. Much is channeled
into title searches, appraisals and
other incidental expenses. The de-
partment also hopes to acquire
further land next year in the
South Northumberland water
shed, Deep Creek Lake State Park,
and others.
They are among 81 different
items listed in the proposed capital
improvements program for fiscal
1861 which awaits approval by the
State Planning Commission and
the governor.
Those listed in order of priority
after Gunpowder are:
No. 4-South Mountain Catoctin
watershed; 100000 requested as
the secord step in 100000 land
acquisition project to protect
watersheds in Frederick and Wash
ington counties.
No. 8-Deep Creek Lake; $4,000
to acquire so additional acres at
this area where the new state park
was opened July l. Assigned
slightly lower priority in the same
budget are $4,000 for continued
beach development at Deep Creek,
$4,000 to expand the picnic area
and $4,000 for enlargement of
camping facilities.
Most of the other items in the
proposed budget are for improve
ments at presently existing parks.
These included:
Gatnland-$25,000 for water sup
ply system, $4,000 for restoration
of the library building and $4,000
for site improvements.
New Germany-$27 900 as the
first step in a three-year program
of additional cabin construction,
$4,000 for beach construction, $12,-
500 for sanitary facilities.
Swallow Falls-$27 500 to en-
large and improve camping area
part of a $4,000 project.
Harrington Manor-$15,000 for
of equipment storage
shed.

Charity Begins AT Home

Since World War II ended,
Uncle Sam has scattered billions
of dollars around the world to
friendly nations, or rather to
supposedly friendly ma o n S.
There is evidence that in some
cases, this has paid off, two out
standing examples being West
ern Europe and Japan. However,
while the billions of dollars we
gave these nations has been a
factor in creating the prosperity
they now enjoy, most of the
credit must go to those nations
themselves-they lifted them
selves by their own boot-straps.
Our greatest contribution,
greater than the dollars given
by Uncle Sam, has been the
advice given that they should
protect property rights, avoid
back breaking taxes and keep
labor's demands reasonable. They
took the advice and developed
an economic climate that has
brought them almost incredible
prosperity.
Which leads us to wonder why
Uncle Sam doesn't begin to take
Some of the medicine he pre-
scribes for strangers. Isn't it high
time that we ourselves begin to
take some of this advice? We
have back breaking taxes, labor
has gotten out of bounds with
its demands and we have grown
careless about protecting our
own property rights.
Congress might do well to quit
worrying about big business units
and tone down its efforts to
break them up. 1t should con-
cern itself, rather, about protect
ing our American industry SO
that it can compete successfully
in a whole world Of competition.
Our world leadership hinges on
such competition.
It's nice of us TO peddle our
money and advice abroad, but
it's still true that charity begins
at home.

any financial remuneration. But
he has experienced that even
doing that occasionally hinders
him from doing his work as a

calling on the sick and those in
need of spiritual help.

to be minister of the Gospel

it does take money to live A true
minister of Jesus Christ will
gladly earn his living by manual
labor if that is absolutely neces-
