the recent wrecks at intersections
and recommended that the State
Roads commission mark such in
.teresections more plainly. The jur-
ors also commended Sgt. Sam Con-
rad for his work in the Oakland
area over the past nine years. He
is being transferred to North East.
Prior to adjournment the jurors
made a check of the recommended
tons made by the previous jury
to see if such recommendation
had been carried out. The complete

Pickets Are Fined
For Disturbance
Processing Plant Employees
Found Guilty By Trial
Magistrate

Seven former employees of the
Sterling Processing Corporation
were fined by Trial Magistrate
Robert NJ Maroney, at hearing
last Friday in the magistrates
office. All we're found guilty of
charges stemming from a disturb
ance during the recent strike at
the plant.
An eighth former employee who
failed to appear before the magis-
trate forfeited 500 bond. All had
been released under $500 bonds
furnished by the Unions involved.
Richard Sharpless, Gladys
Hauser, James Holler, Charles
Smith and Theodore Wakefield,
pickets during the strike, were
charged with violations of motor
vehicle law which makes it I'M
lawful to throw stones or missiles
on a highway. They pleaded not
guilty.
They were fined $50 and costs,
by Magistrate Maroney, who also
fined Mrs. Elizabeth Erwin, of
Mt. Lake Park, $25 and costs
for strewing tacks on road being
Travelled by trucks of the strike
bound plant. The actual charge
was streWing trash, or refuse on
private property, since the action
occurred at the plant adjacent to
the public highway and the motor
vehicle charge of throwing roof
ing nails on a public highway
would not have been valid.
Melvin Sines forfeited the S1O0
bond on the motor vehicle charge
when he failed to make his APP
pearance.
All the persons were represented
by Marshall Levin, of Baltimore,
an attorney hired by the Meat
Cutters Union, according to Magis-
trate Maroney.
Total costs of fines, forfeiture and
costs was $425, in addition to the

Years Events
Since BuS-Train
Wreck Are Told
Emphasis Made On Safety
Injured Taught At Home

Just one year ago, on Thursday
morning, September 10, seven chill
dren died in a school bus-train
smash on the Mt. Lake Park cross
ing, and eleven others we're hos
pitalized. 1t was the worst accident
in the history of bus transportation
in the county and was the first
time for fatality in the school
programs history.
Probably no news story in years
captured the interest of the entire
nation as that particular event.
Through the far flung facilities of
radio, television and press and
picture services, accounts of the
tragic mishap were quickly re-
layed to all parts of the United
States and prominently featured
on neWscasts and front pages of
major metropolitan daily news
papers. The news actually went
all over the world.
The dead were Janet Deems,
Nancy Deems, Merle Harvey, Nan
cy Harvey, Richard Hinkle, Shirley
Lee and Lee Hoffman.
What has happened during the
year to insure the safety of bus
children? The railroad crossing re-
mains the same, but the number
of buses travelling over railroad
crossings has been materially re-
duced. What has happened to the
students who were injured?
There follows a rather complete
picture of what has occurred since
the accident First there is a re-
port of the disaster fund which
was raised voluntarily, and which
totaled $12,022.77. The fund was
raised specifically for the rehabili-
tation of the injured children and
was not to pay sums of money to
parents or relatives to buy grocer
les, as some supposed.
A report from the committee of
Wesley Schaible, Henry w. Nc
Comas and C. Melvin Right,
showed that 140 Lions clubs con-
tributed S5,9O2.17, IA Rotary clubs
gave $4,000; other organizations,
S3,69425 including S865.17 from the
Hercules Powder company; and
that individuals gave S1,785.75.
Expenditures have amounted to
S2,94122 with $158.58 for nursing,

courts have ruled that the owner
of the minerals is entitled to the

cost which the operators paid to

Council.

In this column in the past two
weeks I have attempted to briefly
explain how a title controversy
resulted in certain minerals be-
longing to the Blackfeet Tribe
being removed from the land
without the consent of the Tribe.
/ also gave a brief explanation
of how the holders of a purpOrted
lease of the right TO recover the
minerals were affected by the
cancellation of their lease. In an
attempt to have their lease re-
instated. these operators have
been negotiating with the Tribal
Council for some time. These
negotiations apparently came to
a head at a council meeting held
Tuesday, December 6.
In full settlement for damages
to the Tribe done as a result of
the removal of some $500. 10000
worth of oil from Tribal land
without the Tribes consent, the
operators involved offered to pay
the Tribe SlO4 10000. This amount
would be available to the Tribe
only upon approval of a new
lease on the land by the Secre-
tary of the Interior. The Tribal
Council, / am told, agreed to
accept this SlO4, 10000. Also, the
Tribal Council agreed that SIS, 900
of this amount would be paid to
the heirs of the surface owner OF
the land in exchange for a quit
claim of any interest which these
heirs feel they may have in the
minerals
During the course of negOtia-
tons carried on at this Deem

tribe said, Il have talked this
matter over with Tiff Mckay
