Timber Owners
Hear OF Potential
TO Create Jobs

There is a potential of 300 more
jobs in Garrett county alone if
the county's 25O,OOO acres of com
mercial forest land were to be in
tcnsively managed for full produc-
ton under modern forest manage
ment techniques.
The opinion is that of John B.
Veach, North Carolina timberman
and conserVationist, speaking to a
group of woodland owners at Terra
Alta last Friday. In a ceremony
honoring woodland owners for
good forestry practices, Mr.. Veach,
said better management and utili-
cation of the vast forests of the
Tri-State area was the best way
to bolster the regions economy.
Forests under intensive manage
mcnt, the Ashcville. N. c. man
said, can produce two or three
times the volume of an unmanaged
forest. There are too many idle
acres of forests in the area not
producing to their capabilities, -
he declared.
The ceremony on the Elmer c.
Grimm tree farm paid tribute to
a group of IA woodland owners
from Maryland, Pennsylvania and
West Virginia for practing the
type of forest conservation advo-
Gated by Mr. Veach They were
presented signs and certificates OF
membership in the American Tree
Farm system, a nationwide pro
gram sponsored by wood industries
to stimulate the practice Of good
forest management. To become
members, woods owners must dem

GrantSViEIe Bank
And Liberty Trust
Co. Plan Merger
Resources Of Combined In
situations Would Total
About $33,O00,000

f. William Wintcrberg, president
of The First State Bank of Grants
vile, and William {. Walsh, prcsi-
dent of The Liberty Trust Com
pany, Cumberland, announced to-
( day that directors of both institu-
/ tons have approved plans under
which the Grantsville bank will
merge with the bank in Cumber-
! land.
Mr.. Walsh said necessary ar
rangements are now being car
ried forward and the merger will
be accomplished after approval of
stockholders of both banks and the
appropriate banking authorities.
1t was pointed out that, in addi-
ton to receiving approval of the
State Bank Commissioner of Mary
land, it is now necessary that such
mergers be approved by appropri-
ate federal banking authorities. In
view of the length of notice re
quired under federal law, the
merger probably would not be COM
pleted until the latter part of Sep
TENDER.
The Liberty Trust, with total re-
sources of approximately S30,000,-
600, maintains its principal office in
Cumberland and has branches in
LaValc and Homecoming, while the
First State Bank, with total re-
sources of about 100000, operates
only in Grantsville, where it is
the only bank.
The merger, it was stated, would
strengthen the position of the Lib
erty Trust company as one of the
largest banks in Western Mary
land and bring to Garrett county
the many benefits Of sizeable bank
ing resources to aid in the more
rapid development of the county.
1t was also announced that
Joseph F. Fahey, vice president
and cashier of the Grantsville bank.
would become vice president and
member of the board of directors
of The Liberty Trust company and
would also manage the operation
of the Grantsville Bank as a branch
of the Cumberland institution.
Charles o. Bender and Cleman
f. Folk, present directors of the
First State Bank, will also become
members of the board of directors
of the merged institutions, and it
is contemplated that all present
/ employees of the Grantsville bank
would be retained. 1t is also con-
templated that the present direc-
tors of the Grantsville bank will
serve as an advisory committee for
the Grantsville bank.
Copies of the merger agreement,
together with the complete out
line of the details of the merger
plan, are expected to be mailed to
all stockholders of both banks
shortly after the middle of August,
together with notice of special
meetings of the stockholders, which
will be called to approve the mer-
ger.

The taxpayers petition, filed in
the Circuit Court several weeks
ago, contcndcd that payment made
to A. c Brcnncman and John }.
Brenncman for work performed at
the county quarry was in effect
illegal. since A. c. Brenncman at
the time was a member of the
Board of County Commissioners.

that time we're H. d. SWartzen-

whom are now on the board.
In answering the petition, which
stated that the commissioners in
paying the claim, acted in man.
ner that was arbitrary, reckless
with public money, without
warranty in law and illegal" at
torncys for the commissioners pre-
scented nine points why they felt
the Writ of Mandamus should be
denied.
These points we're, in essence:
l. That there is a misjoindcr of
parties, in that Carl Schell, Fred
erick Glotfclty and Ezra Garletts,
individually, are joined with the
Board of County Commissioners of
Garrett County, and no allegations
arc made against these individuals
in the petition, and no relief is
asked against them.
2. The petitioners did not state
in their petition for a Writ of
Mandamus any cause which would
entitle them to the relief for
which they ask against the in
dividual defendants,
3. The petitioners did not state
in their petition any cause which
would entitle them for relief
against the Board of County Com
missioners, which is corporate
body.
/. That the petition shows that
the payment involved was made
voluntarily by the Commissioners,
acting with full authority, and that
the relief prayed, a Writ of Man
damus directing the County Com
missioners of Garrett County, Md,
to demand of Aubrey c. Brenne-
man and John J. Brenncman the
payment to them of the sum of
S16,206 paid to them illegally by
Order of the County Commission
ers of Garrett County, Md, on
February 4, 1859, and in the case
of their refusal to make said pay
mcnt, that the County Commission
ers bring forthwith such action or
proceedings as are appropriate for
the recovery Of such sum of money
for the Taxpayers of Garrett
County, Maryland" would be use
less and nugatory, and that no
other relief is asked.
5 That the payment made to
Brenneman was in the sound dis
erection of the Board, and that
the petition does not show gross
abuse of discretion by the board,
and that the payment was one
which involved the exercise of
discretion, under authority of the
General Laws of Maryland.
6. That the petitioners ask, in eff
feet, that the Board rescind an

technical complexity that it calls for
the full-time effort of large and, need
less to say, competent staff specially
assigned to it.
The only way | can see of having
a tolerably good chance of adequate
income-tax reform is to:
1. Create a special task force tCith
personnel and prestige comparable 10
that of the original Commission orr
Governmental Reorganization,
headed BY former President Hoover.
2. Give the commission the duty
of preparing for Congress and the
nation comprehensive set Of plans
for a fair and efficient federal income
tar structure to replace the present
Lopsided, jerry-buiIt cOntrGPtiOn.
In the Treasury Department, in Con-
gress and Congressional tax staffs, in
the Internal Revenue Service, in the
universities and in the business COM
munity we have the technical capacity
to put the federal income-tax system in
respectable order. But it must be mobil-
lied and given strong and sustained
direction. Also, it must be accorded the
highest prestige that the government
and the people can confer.
A letter might help
Probably the pre-eminent require
ment, however, is that the harassed
legions of income-tax payers let it be
known unmistakably that they want the
job done. So, along with paying your
income td1 as honestly as you possibly
can, send note expressing your senti-
ments to the tax collector. He doesn't
write the laws but he'll pass the word
along.
You might send your congressman
copy of your note. Also, you can insist
that the candidates in the coming Presi-
dental election commit themselves on
the problem of cleaning up the income
tax "house of horrors"
Doing your part to get the mess
cleaned up has become patriotic duty.
For, again in the words of Chairman
Mills, bringing order out of chaos is as
important to our national survival as
is our defense program" - tn. E"d

ever, that the income tax is never going
to be Strengthened out by piecemeal
efforts to eliminate abuses and discrimi-

large army of those getting special tax
breaks can readily be rallied to squash
isolated reform efforts.
Also, an adequate revision of the in

This years national assembly
will be the 10th for the 49-year-
old director.
Rees-"that's the only thing
the students ever call me-
stood on a Bethesda residential
street yesterday, organizing
packing operations as the stu
dents loaded cars with luggage
needed for the eight-day meet
ing.
Were going to drive all day
and night to Green Lake, Wis.,.
Mr.. Rees said, land wen prob
ably laugh all the way"
Despite the high-Spirited ac-
tivity Mr.. Rees generated, his
students claim he's very serious
about his job as their area
director.
Crippled by Polio
He is one Of the few men in
the country equally known in
both the American and the
Southern Baptist Convention.
A native Of Frostburg, Md,
Rees contracted polio at the
age of 3, and was paralyzed
in both arms and legs.
Although he lost considerable
time in school because of his
handicap, he eventually re-
ceived his B.A. degree from
George Washington University
in 1885. Night classes gave him
a MA. in 1888 and he spent
a summer at Cambridge Uni
versity.
But long before he was grad
uated from George Washing
ton, he founded the Baptist
Student Union. a city-wide
church service unit now in its
26th year in Washington.
In 1910, he met Sue Lambert,
a student from Oklahoma at
one of the BSU meetings. They
were married shortly after, and
now live at 7006 West Park
drive, Hyattsville.
Each summer for the past
% years, Mr.. ReeS has been
leading a Monday night Bible
study and discussion meeting,
which was attended this week
by $50 Baptist students from
the Metropolitan area.
In a surprise ceremony. Mr..
Rees was honored by the stu
dents. The special occasion was
in celebration Of his completion
Of 25 years of service with the
BSU group he organized.
His 16-year-old son, David,
arranged a fiat tire" that
made Mr.. Rees 80 minutes late
for the meeting.
Its the first time he's ever
been late for a BSU activity"
young David commented.
Evening star., 1960-09-03

The purpose was to give the
students time to prepare a GER
emony at which Mr.. Rees was
presented "just what he hat
wanted for years. new les

In addition to the brace, the
group collected 5000 for theil
