Loose With Figures

These planners of recreatonal welfare mighty
loose with facts and figures it We have been bonn
barded with statistics during these past few weeks, which
point supposed lack adequate space for recreaona
activities These look just a mite ridiculous
There about 1900 of Maryand's land
in state parks ecreaona The director Of Forests
and Parks Joseph Kayor has declared Maryland would
require 30 times the park land to meet require
of its population in the year 1000 By simple ahme
tic this 100000 Resources for the Future,
Inc said there should be $4,000 for recreation in
the year 1000.
The population in the year 1000 is estimated at
SIS million people report revealed that the state
parks with their 1900 took of four million
people last though repeatedly nadequatey But
would need 80 times the present just to take care OF
half again as many people, the State Planning director
said that's lot Of land.
If you to carry this little further, just for fun,
423680 in Garrett county and 46 percent
about 198495 in farms. If people followed Kay
lors recommendations by the year 1000 there would be
more recreation than there is land in all of
Garrett county, the largest county in the state in
land area
For the sake of uniformity, multiplying these figures
by % for the number of counties find total of over
million acres in the state with Az million in farm
land leaving after you take out the $4,000 for ecre
alton less than million for the six and onehaf mil
lion people reside in and for the offices and places where
in they would have to work Perhaps by that time people
would not have to work and would have recreation all
the time.
But if that is not the case and we don't think will be,
this controversy over the proper Of land for ade
guate recreationa purposes is just little silly And what
happens to basis with all those in tax free
status?
The State Department of Forests and Parks has done
good job of taking OF basic recreation needs Ana
people really don't have 100 percent of their lives
planned for them them every and then
on some property that not owned by the state And they
might even travel to other states for diversion

Plans Developing
For Pageantry For
Civil War Centennial

An outline of an historical
pageant projected for the coming
Civil War Centennial years was
discussed at meeting on Satur-
day of the Pageant Committee
headed by Mrs. Carrie Kahl, Com
mittee members attending were
Miss Edith Brock and Mrs. Ruth
Ashby.

Sollars in collaboration with Felix
G. Robinson organized and
mounted the pageant, an elaborate
one.
Another meeting of the pageant
Committee has been scheduled
during the Christmas holiday week,
by which time it is expected the
plans will be further developed.
Other present at Saturdays
meeting we're E. Herbert Shaffer,

Third Felon Nabbed
By Police Sunday

The third of five felons who
escaped recently from the State
Correctional institution at Hunt
ingdon, Pa, was recaptured Sun
day in Gettysburg, Pa. They had
been seen at various times in parts
of this county and nearby Somer-
set and Fayette counties. All five
had been observed at one time
around Markleysburg.
Two days after the five slipped
away authorities caught Donald
Davidson, %, as he crossed a road
near UniontoWn. On November II,
Robert Harm was captured short
ly after he and two others were
cornered in Ebensburg after they
had abducted two men and held
another family captive for nearly
two hours in their home
The third to be nabbed was
Scotty E. Robinette 80 He was in
a stolen car at a Gettysburg serv-
ice station.
Authorities have said that the
two men still at large must be
considered dangerous and may be
armed The five escapes had been
serving time for crimes ranging
from armed robbery to forgery.

Found Guilty of
Embezzling Charge

Michael r. Bowman, %, Pied
mont, w. Va, was found guilty
Tuesday in Allegany County Cir
cult court on a charge of cmbez-

tyres Bakery, Inc, Westernport,
where he formerly worked as a
driver-salesman.
He was sentenced to a term not

sentence was suspended on condi-
ton of good behavior and reStitu-
ton of the money taken.

wrong

Hunters Will Take
Full Advantage Of
Extra Hunting Day

Hunters by the hundreds appear
to be making arrangements to take
full advantage of the extra hunt
ing day allowed for bucks this
year. The same extra day was avail
able last year but no records fell,
because of the terrific snoWstorm
that descended on the county about
two days after the season opened.
The deer hunting season will
open Saturday, December 3, and
will continue until shutdown Sat
urday, December 10, excluding
Sunday, December a. This is the
second year that an extra day has
been added to the season to give
hunters two Saturdays for hunting.
The season formerly had run Tor
the first full week in December.
During the season it will be law
full to kill bucks with two or more
points to one antlef and spike
bucks with three-inch spike. Dur
ing the deer hunting season the
small game season will be sus-
pended but will be resumed Mon
day, December Il and will con-
tinue until January 5.
The deer checking stations are
at Edwards garage in Grantsville
Matt Storey's on Deep Creek Lake
aear McHenry; Murphy's, in
Friendsville; and Carroll Miller's
Mt. Top Tire and Sport Shop in
Oakland. Hunters may also check
their bucks at Westernport or La
Vale in Allegany county.
All indications point to a rec
ord number of hunters. Extra game
wardens, usually assigned to other
counties of the state, will be in
Garrett county next week.

Indian Summer To
Winter In One Hop

From Indian Summer into Win
ter-that was the story in Garrett
county this week with the first
real taste of winter appearing yes
terday and depositing some three
to five inches CT snow over the
territory. And the end was not
yet in sight.
The mercury dropped to 10 above
zero yesterday morning and
throughout the day did not get
above freezing. Strong winds whip
ped the snow into sizcable drifts
and roads we're slippery.
Snowplows get into action on
both county and state roads and
all roads were open with no diff
ficulty being reported in any area
Cindering was also in progress be-
cause ice which had formed prior
to the fall Of snow made all high
ways extremely slick.
Police were recommending snow
treads or chains for persons travel
ing in this area. The State Road,
Commission reported that 10 pieces
of equipment and So men were in
service yesterday afternoon and
evening in this county applying
chemicals and abrasives to the
roads.
The Weather bureau reported
that the area could expect more of
the same weather conditions to-
day The temperature is expected
to remain cold for the balance OF
the week.
Nearby areas in West Virginia
also reported several inches of
snow.
There were definite indications
that there would be plenty of
snow on the ground for the start
of deer season, and also plenty
at the Marsh Mountain ski area
for a successful official opening on
Sunday.
