AT the time that the Oswald

the unusually high building
cost Of projects ia the Virgin

consideration Of the decision
previously made, and finally
upon the basis Of 4 strong ard
reasonable Justification sub
mitted, the PHA has author

Merged Effort 1890

There is nothing wrong with the spirit Of competition
In business, competition is the life of trade Among schools
it creates initiative and interest desire to excel to
be winner, but also with these is the knowledge that
person must also be a good sport.
There is such competition among the contestants of
Northern and Southern High school, These two schools meet
the gdon and the basketball court Both teams fight
for all they WORTH Sometimes tempers flare briefly Ri
valry remains intense.
But right want to call your attention to some
thing else worth while is the merged effort of both schools
Tomorrow night musicians of both schools will give
bned Northern High school, They will be directed
first by the band instructor of Northern High school, then
by the band instructor of Southern High Perhaps the first
chair in the corne section will be given to Northern boy
the first chair in the clarinet section to Southern girl But
the students will be mingled together in a quality perform
ance presented by participants from both schools.
The musical program will show the entire county that
students from both schools work together in harmony
and for the good Of all of the county And that is
marvellous accomplishment.
1t will happen again in just few weeks when the
tywide vocal program will be given Southern High They
will life their voices together in providing high class music
for the benefit of ALL
Both competition and merged effort be character
forming Garrett county They both have valuable place
in the life of the students Isn't wonderful that
available?

County Boys Lose
Suits In Big City

The country boys went to the
city-and while they didn't exactly
lose their shirts, they did lose their
suits.
That was the experience of two
county commissioners and an as
sistant to the county roads super
visor last week while on an official
trip to Baltimore.
The theft occurred while the
group was comforting with mem
bers of the State Roads Commits
sion at its headquarters in Balti-
more. Upon returning to their car,
parked near the building, it was
discovered that suits belonging to
Commissioners Fred Glotfelty and
Carl Schell, and a jacket owned
by Paul Dewitt, had been pur-
Joined.
One commissioner expressed lit
tie concern, commenting that the
suit was II years old anyway, but
regretted the fact that Il had to
go to Baltimore to be robbed. We
have that talent at home"

More Robberies
Occur Yesterday
Four Places Entered-Two
Safes Battered

After a lapse of five weeks or
more four additional robberieS oc-
Cured in the early morning hours
of Wednesday.
Thieves entered the Acorn AS
sociates, Southern States Coopera-
tive, Miller's Sanitary Market and
Hubs Harness Shop. In each in
stance they forced the locks on
doors or broke out paneling.
They obtained approximately $50
at Southern States, S12 to SIS at
Miller's Market, some $50 at Hubs
Harness shop along with cigaret
lighters and flashlights. They OBJ
tanned a quantity Of silver dollars
at Hubs.
They were only partially success
full in opening safes. They got
a bottom section of the Southern
States safe open where no money
was kept, and they must have
worked for two hours or more in
an unsuccessful attempt to force
open the large safe in Miller's
Market. 1t was understood there
was a large sum of money in this
safe.
Apparently the thieves went to
work first at Southern States, and
then used a crowbar, wrenches and
other tools on the Miller safe which
had been stolen from Southern
States. They had placed a pile of
cartons beside where they worked
on the safe in Miller's Market
which made it impossible for any
one to see them from the Liberty
street entrance. They worked in
the full glare of lights both at
MillerS and Southern States.
At Southern States they obtained
some S18 from a soft drink ma
chine, and a similar amount from
candy machine, and additional
money from the cash register. They
used keys obtained from the cash
register to open the soft drink ma
chine but forced open the candy
machine.
They failed to see quantities of
change in both Millers and Hubs
which were near the cash registers.
They also went through the desks
of the Rights Insurance agency
in Hubs Harness Shop, which
faces Second street, but got no
cash.
At Acorn Associates they appar-
emily obtain nothing but so cents.
Authorities were notified early in
the morning and they have been
conducting an investigation but
no trace of the robbers has been
found and no arrests have been
made.
