One Home Struck
By Lightning During
Electrical Storm

A severe electrical storm hit the
mountain top about II o'clock We'd
nesday morning, interrupting cleo
trio current and striking one Gar
rett county home.
The Oakland Fire department
actually received two calls, one
being an assist call from the Terra
Alta fire company, to help fight a
blaze at the Terra Alta Stockyards.
The first call came from Mr.. and
Mrs. John O'Haver, where light
ming struck their frame and stone
dwelling near the old Fingerboard
road leading to Hutton. This call
came at HOY
There was no loss on either the
building or the contents, accord
ing to fireman Donald NJ. Brown
ing, who filled out the report. The
No. truck answered this alarm.
AT lilo just three minutes later,
another call came from Terra Alta
where a stock barn had been ig-
nited as the result of lightning.
The number two truck went to
this fire but the blaze was under
control when it arrived and there
was no hook-up.
About an hour before the storm
hit this area the electricity had
been knocked out by lightning in
the vicinity of Grafton. That area,
Morgantown and Fairmont had
sharp electrical storms. The cur

Retires At Age S.
After b Years In
Postal Department

Thomas Joseph Stanton, who OBJ
served his 55th birthday on Tues
day, retired yesterday as assistant
postmaster of the Oakland post Of
flee after thirty-two years of duty
in the postal service. A dinner was
given in his honor last evening at
Backbone Mountain Inn, by postal
employees.
The calendar favored Stanton
somewhat. An employee must take
retirement at the end of a month
He began work on August 25, 1928,
had his 55th birthday on Tuesday
and the end of the month came
the next day He didn't stay one
day longer than the minimum.
Back in 1928 Stanton began his
duties as a substitute clerk. He
was appointed regular clerk April
l, 1929, and became assistant post
master January l, 1888, succeeding
Fred Peddicord. At the time he
began to work the Oakland office
was a small second class office,
but became first class July /, 1854
A first class office is dependent
upon gross receipts from stamp
sales in excess of $4,000, and il
was explained that activity of the
HIP stores gave the necessary
boost to receipts which advanced
the class in 1854. Actually the re-
ceipts at the Oakland office have
more than quadrupled since 1928
Only two employees in the office
have been there longer than Stan
ton. They are William Eggers,
rural carrier, and Robert T. Hoff-
man, city carrier.
Since Stanton went into the
postal service the post office also
has moved. When he began work
the office was located in the Nc
Intire building, corner Third and
Alder streets, which had been
moved there a few years before
from the First National Bank build
ing. The present building on Sec
ond street was occupied Deem
Der 8, 1910.
During the thirty-two years
Stanton has served under seven
postmasters. They were Dr. Web
ster Ravenscroft, Lawrence M.
Fraley, Mrs. Frances Matthews, J.
Frank Browning, Irwin R. Rudy Sr.,
w. E. Spoerlein and the present
postmaster, Donald NJ. Browning.
Mr.. Spoerlein was postmaster whel
it was made first class office.
Mr.. Stanton has been the young
est person in the postal service in
this area to retire except Merrill
Crane, who retired about two years
ago with disability.
No successor has yet been named
to the position made vacant.

Report Given On
Summer Activity
Of Roads Dept.
Roads, Bridges, Repairs And
Plans Included

Construction of new improved
roads and bridges, repairs and
patching of present roads, have
produced an enviable record this
summer for the Garrett County
Roads department.
A list of the accomplishments
was compiled this week by Darrell
Wotring, county roads supervisor.
Chief among the road improve
ments are the completion of the
road from Mt. Lake Park to the
Old Deer Park road at Broad
ford, a distance of IL miles; and
partial work on the White Rock
GAINESVILLE road, distance of 2
miles; the road from Southern
High school to the bennett Road
elementary; and the Sang Run to
Friendsville road, a distance of one
mile.
The Broadford road has a rock
base topped with choke material,
and then surface treated with cal
cium chloride. Mr.. Wotring ex-
planned that calcium chloride aids
in compaction, is dust free and
provides a cheaper constructed
road and one that is more economi-
cal to maintain. This road cost in
the ncighborhood of $4,000.
Grading has been completed on
the White Rock to GAINESVILLE
road and the base is being laid.
This road is being similarly
treated.
Grading also is being done on the
road between Southern High
school and the bennett Road ele-
mentary school and is ready for
sterilization. This road was sought
by the Parent-Tcacher associations
and other groups to make it pos
sible for school buses to get to
these two points in much quicker
time than before. Buses now have
10 go either by way of Mt. Lake
Park or by Oakland, using the back
road between the two towns.
The Sang Run-Friendsville road
is the first of number of Federal
Aid projects The base has been
completed and surfacing was
scheduled to begin today. Com
