Change In Road
Markings Advised
To Aid In Safety
Recommendations Made By
State Roads Bureau
Of Traffic

improvements in road markings
at three highway points in this
county to alleviate apparent
potential hazards, have been rec
commended to the State Roads COM
mission through a study made by
the Bureau of Traffic.
Requests for these improvements
were made by the Circuit Court
for Garrett County in a recent
grand jury report, by State Sena-
tor Bernard l. Gender, and by the
Mayor and Town Council of Oak
land The requests followed a series
of automobile accidents at two
points, the one point being the
intersection of U. S. 219, with state
route 1875, at the cast edge of
town, and the other point being
the Intersection of U. S. route so
with u. S. 2l9, at Rcd House. An
other study also was made of the
hazards at dangerous curve on
state route 1876, just east of Bloom
ington.
The bureau recommended that
stop ahead signs be replaced
with larger ones and that reduce
speed signs be placed in advance
of the stop ahead" signs. A large
slow sign was recommended for
the Bloomington area hazard
a copy of the letter sent to John
B. Funk, chairman of the State
Roads commission, by George N.
Lewis, Jr., chief of the bureau of
traffic for the commission, was
received here this week by Sena-
tor Gender. and was released for
publication.
A copy OF the letter was also
sent to John d. Bushby, district
engineer, with the request that he
put into effect the recommends

factor at the three locations.

Bill Would Propose
Idle Pay Law Change

A major bill to be considered
shortly after the General Assembly
opens next Wednesday will be one
which proposes seven revisions of
Maryland's unemployment COM
pensation laws.
The bill is recommended by the
Legislative Council The first
change would affect the second
round of benefits and is designed
to prevent a claimant who has
drawn 26 weeks of benefits from
one employment from drawing an
other round of 26 weeks from this
same employment as can now oc-
cur.
The second affects the waiting
period for benefits. The proposal
would add a section to provide
that all claimants must wait one
week before drawing any bene-
fits. At present, the Legislative
council reports, benefits are pay
able at once, without any waiting
period
The third deals with pension
payments and workmen's COM
pensation benefits. 1t is designed
to disqualify or reduce benefits
to eligible claimants who also re-
ceive pension payments, work
mems compensation or certain
other payments.
A fourth proposal would increase
the present maximum payment Of
S35 to S38.
A fifth proposal would limit
payments to claimants for de
pendents to those dependents for
whom the claimant furnishes their
chief support.
The sixth would affect disquali-
fications for voluntary quits, mis-
conduct and failure to accept
work. The proposed amendment
provides that claimants in these
cases must become re-employed
and earn 10 times their weekly
benefit amount before any bcne-
fits are payable. At present such
claimants are penalized from one
tn 10 UppkS after which time
benefits are payable.
The last would prevent payment
of benefits to pregnant women
from the date of diagnosis of preg-
nancy until two months after birth.
The present disqualification eN-
tends from two months before birth
to two months after birth.

Doe Season May Be
Extended Next Year

A special three-day antlerless
deer hunting season opens today
on the Eastern Shore and the
Maryland Game and Inland Fish
commission is hoping for a kill of
1000.
Complaints of crop damage arc
continually increasing, according
to Ernest Vaughn, director. He
said many does and button bucks
must be harvested to keep the
deer population in line.
The doe season was originated
three seasons ago and the commits
sion admits the results have been
disappointing.
Vaughn has said that he hopes
that by next year the commission
will be empowered to declare a
doe season in the Western coun-
ties where it is needed. 1t was
the commission belief that thin
ming of the does from Frederick
to Garrett county would result in
a strain of bigger deer sporting
bigger racks
The Federated Sportsmen's clubs
of Western Maryland has opposed
the antlerless doe season contend
ing it would be unsafe to hunters
and would endanger the deer herd.
Vaughn said orchardists would
get a law permitting them to kill
all deer on their >croplands." if
something was not done. He said
deer damage was serious in or
chard areas.

Stores Report
Holiday Trade
Generally Good

Christmas business among the
stores Of Oakland was considered
very good this year, most of them
declaring that the month of De
cember would show either as good
as last year or better
Most of the merchants said that
business was on par with the
last two years The stormy weather
of the past two weeks had its
effect in cutting down on the
volume. but this was made in the
last few days before the holiday
Grocery stores also in the main
were as good as the previous year
or better.
There was some unusual sales
angles in a number of the stores.
Some merchants stocked up on
certain items which they felt
would sell and they didn't. Other
items which had not sold particular
ly in other years, sold extensively
this year. Some merchants had a
difficult time keeping certain
items in stock, they went out so
fast.
Wheeled goods, as general rule,
moved sparingly, while sleds, skis
and ski equipment sold well.
Some merchants were unsure
whether the overall pattern for
the year would show much of an
increase Some said the business
this weekend would be the diff
ference. If there was a good
business this weekend it would
be enough to put them over the
hump" Otherwise the year-round
business would show slight de-
cline
Some felt that the difference in
the year-round pattern was be-
cause of generally poor business
in the summer months. Tourist
business in general was less thar
previous years People who came
to spend several days at the lake
while on vacations, apparently
brought Most of their supplies
with them and spent little time
in Oakland at the various stores
One store proprietor said that
people were looking for quality
this year as well as price. and
that quality toys sold we'll Ameri-
can made toys also had the adj
vantage over Japanese or German
made articles, became of quality
he said.
One merchant. who said he was
very happy over the Christmas
business, said his December bust
ness had come within few dollars
of being the same it had been for
the previous two years
Another one. who also said he
was happy over the Christmas
business, said that he had in
creased his stock quite a bit and
had increased his business accord
ingly. but also had more mer-
chandise left over which would
mean a bigger inventory.
There we're some disappoint-
ments. A few merchants COM
planned that prominent items had
not moved well But the overall
pattern was one of satisfaction that
business had been as good as it
was
One pointed out that it was al
ways necessary to go out after
business by newspaper and other
types of advertising, and that mer-
chants never should feel complac-
cnt but be constantly on their toes,
in search of additional sales.
