First and most important is whether the

Second is the quality called phrasing, mean

Many people going be taking advantage of the long

eff trying to get every last drop out of the holiday Weekend
They will early and return late Those hours of driving
will be with ill temper and exhaustion The final hours will be
in darkness.
Safety is way of life and people could just get that
idea into their skulls the accident rate would decrease

Plane INs Area Making CkaecE
For. Intensity Of Radiation

Drake, Pensacola, Fla, as co-pilot.
planned to remain in the area this
week.
Cumberland is a base for lower
part of a block-type segment which
has Pittsburgh as its center.
Crist said the lower line of this
square runs from Cumberland
westward through Morgantown to
New Martinville, W. Va, then
northerly through Canton, Ohio,
and Cleveland, and then eastward
to a point in central Pennsylvania,
and then southwark through the
Johnstown section to Cumberland.
The task of the pilot is not an
easy one, as he has to keep the
plane within 500 feet of the ground.
From the craft is extended
a bomb" which is raised and low
cred by cable Inside the cable IS
the wiring that takes the impulses
back to the recording instruments
in the cabin.
The bomb" contains the detec-
tor head for the magnetomctcr in
SIDE the plane.
Radiation is picked up through
equipment installed in the belly
of the plane.
Weather has much to do with
the operations of the team. Sum-
mers are spent in the more rigorous
locations. weatherwise, while the
late winter, spring and fall are
spent in the south, southwest and
west.

The mountains of Western Mary
land. nearby West Virginia and
PENNSYLVANIA are being checked
for radiation together with being
measured for the intensity of the
earth's magnetic field by an air
team based at Cumberland Munich
pal Airport.
The scientists, flyers and tech
nicians are a team of the U. 5.
Geological Survey that has been
working for the past five years in
various sections of the nation
A. ]. Petty, Washington, the
party chief, pointed out the DEB
type plane is equipped with meas
uring devices and graph recording
instruments.
The crew checks radiation from
various nuclear reactors In this
general area and also measures
environmental radiation levels
from surface soils ana rocks.
The magnetometer in the plane
is a device that is being used to
measure the total intensity of the
earth's magnetic field.
Petty explained that not all OF
the nation is being checked, but
only areas where scientists and
biologists feel there is the great
est potential from the standpoint
of minerals.
That is. he said, the sections
where there are formations which
show promise of mineral bearing.

Water Difficulties
Being Experienced
By City and Park

Oakland and Mt Lake Park are
having water supply difficulties
again but this time it is not on ac-
count of any shortage, but because
of repairs to existing systems.
Both towns have placed adver-
tisements in today's issue, asking
that citizens conserve the water
for several days.
In the Oakland system, it is
necessary that repairs be made to
the spring house. Water superin-
tendent James Lewis, said that a
leak was discovered in the spring
house when some workmcn were
engaged in pumping water from an
excavation nearby where the new
filtration plant is to be placed.
When the pumps endeavored to
pump water out of the excavation
the water level in the spring
house would be lowered consider
ably.
Lewis said it would be necessary
to get the reservoirs full and then
to drain the spring house and dis
cover and fix the leak.
In the meantime he asks coopera-
ton in the use of water, only US
ing it for necessities. He said the
supply of water would be suffi-
cient this year for necessary uses
and he said the work should take
only three or four days.
At Mt. Lake Park the water
company has found it necessary to
drain the storage tank for an FIR
spection by the Chicago Bridge and
Iron company. The company said
that the water service would be
disrupted in several areas and
that the preSsures and flow would
be below normal for several days
and until the tank is filled again.
1t also asked that the people re-
frain from unnecessary use of
water during the week of Sep
TENDER II to IT.

morning on the demurrer, filed by
the County Commissioners against
the request for a writ of mandamus
sought by several taxpayers, in a
case involving payment of fees for
drilling work,
The argument was set for 10
o'clock this morning and it was
possible the presentations of both
sides would continue into the
afternoon.
Arguing for the Commissioners
are Stuart F. Hamill, Jr, attorney
to the board, and Walter W. Daw.
son. Arguing for the several tax
payers is Horace P. Whitworth, Jr.,
Westernport.
The taxpayers petition was filed
in the Circuit court number of
weeks ago and contended that pay
ment made to A. c. Brenneman
and John j. Brenneman for work
performed at the county quarry
was in effect illegal since A. C.
Brenneman at the time was a men,
Der of the Board of County Com
missioners.
The Commissioners replied to
the petition claiming the request
for a writ of mandamus should be
denied and listed nine reasons.
The reasons:

Oakland Poultry
Reopens Tuesday

A 12-day strike at Sterling Pro-
cessing Corporations Oakland poul-
try processing plant was settled
Saturday and the company was
set to resume operations Tuesday.
This hinged on the availability OF
United States Department of Agri-
culture inspectors.
The two and one-half year con-
tract settlement followed the re-
sumption of contract negotiations
Saturday morning at the request
of Local 424, Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen's union.
The 30-month pact provides Tor
a one-cent wage increase retroac-
tive to July l, 1860; two cents eff
fcctive July l, 1861; and four
cents effective July /, 1862. 1t also
includes a company financed SOU
life insurance policy, two days off
with pay for a death in the i'm
mediate family; a $3.50 annual al
lowance for gloves, hair nets and
aprons; a change in shift diff
ferential payment and a 9O-day
wage progression plan for new
employees.
The working agreement con-
tains a no strike, no lockout clause
and other contract changes, and
has a December 81, 1862 eXpira-
ton date.
The union membership, accepted
the settlement by a vote of GO to
II, it was stated.
Pickets Jailed for Violence
Two days prior to the settlement,
however, seven pickets, including
two women, were jailed for sew
cral hours on charges that they
threw stones and scattered tacks
to prevent two trucks from leav-
ing the plant.
All were released on bond later.
The arrests were made after VIC
lence broke out when two Sterling
Processing trucks were sent to re-
move equipment from the plant.
