mean that American youth
lacks the idealism and mis-

The Technical Assistance
Information Clearing House,
20 West Fortieth street,
New York, lists 70 church
groups and other private
agencies in the foreign aid
field. Each year they send
hundreds of Americans
abroad for varying periods
of work in underdeveloped
areas.
Most such programs are
restricted to college stu
dents or graduates, but at
least one group, the Inter-
national Voluntary Service
of Cabot, VT, utilizes young

Realizing the value Of
youth in foreign aid, the
United States Congress is
considering the establish
ment of a Point Four Youth

up to 5000 youths for. hu-

pared a suggested boating law
which probably will be referred to
as the Chesapeake Bay and Trib-
utaries Committee of the Gener-
al Assembly of the legislative
council.
Mr.. Valiant attempted to explain
the major provisions of his pro-
posed bill and then spent much
time in answering questions raised
by the legislators from Garrett
and Allegany counties and from
the general public.
Many questions concerned de-
tails about regulations. He eX-
planned that matters Of regulation

Safe Crackers Hit
Grantsville Legion

Safe crackers broke into the
Grantsville Legion home early
Wednesday and escaped with
about $500.
Maryland State police said the
home was entered between mid
night and daybreak. Intruders
forced a large safe in the office
of the post and took $3.50 from the
interior.
Trooper First Class Milton G..
Hart, who is investigating with
Tic. Glen D. Folk, said the in
truders used croWbar to break
off the dial of the safe and then
took the contents after punching
out the dial mechanism.
The intruderS also broke into
bowling machine and juke box
and took an estimated $50 from
the machines.
Entrance, Hart said, was gained
by using a bar to force the back
door of the post home. The bar
also was used to force the door of
the office in which the safe was
kept.
1t was the second major robbery
in the area this week. The Veterans
of Foreign Wars home at Romney
was entered Sunday night and in
trudcrs removed large safe from
the building and escaped with loot

Levy Completed This Week
Calls For Expenditure
OF 81 ,204, 33l.e3

The Garrett County Commission
erS completed their annual levy
this week and tackled 35-cent in
crease on the tax rate. for total
of S2.35 per each 500 of assessable
property 1t was an increase of
1712 percent and marked the first
time since 1916 that the rate had
been anything other than $500
The county will operate on an
expected revenue of S1,204, 1871 SO,
and of this amount some 1894, 079.S8
will come from the county tax rate
of S2.35 on taxable basis of $685.
O45,952, less an allowance of some
$4,000 for discounts to taxpayers
and $4,000 for insolvencies.
The tax rate was set at $3.50 on
each 500 with a special levy for
fire departments of cents on each
500. This was calculated to bring
in S19,022.98 which must be paid to
fire departments as the result of
a special law passed at the 1859
session of the legislature. Under
the regulations the Oakland fire
department will receive $2,74O.37,
while Friendsville, GrantsviIle,
Deer Park, Kitzmiller and Accident
companies will receive S2,44O.37
each and German and Blooming
ton S2040.38 each. Fire depart
ments last year received $3.50.

the departments had sought in
creased budgets, while revenue
from other sources had shown a
decrease.
There was big increase for the
Roads department from S220,838.71
last year to $31O,OS1.9 80 for 1860.
This included an increase of 10
cents per hour across the board
for Roads department employees.
Other increases were shown in
the Welfare department, the Health
department, and the Board Of Edu-
cation. A big part of the increase
in the Board of Education was be-
cause of bonds coming due this
year. The figure here increased
from S16,495.4O to S5O,S63.44. Capital
outlay for schools showed de-
crease from $4,000 to $4,000. Debt

County Set at 619

Garrett county's total deer kill
in 1859 was placed at GIG by the
State Game and Inland Fish COM
mission. This included three bucks
shot during the bow and arrow
season. This compared to 713 last
year, 704 in the regular season
and nine during the bow and ar

Anne Arundel g. All the others
we're from Is to IS.
Ernest Vaughn, director of the
commission. said the decrease in
the number of kill over the previ-
Gus year was not due to reduced
deer population but rather to a
reduced number of hunters going
afield because of unfavorable
weather conditions.

Local History Preserved By
Leisure Labor. Of Police Chief
BY Wilbur w. Close

Hey. Henry, when did they tear
down the boardwalk beside the old
Garrett Bank?"
This, or one of thousand SINH
lar questions dealing with local
history, is frequently asked of
Henry Arnold, Oakland police
chief, as he makes his daily rounds
through the business section.
Sometimes-an amazingly large
number of some times, Henry is
able to give the information on the
spot. On other occasions, his
answer is invariably the same:
I'm not sure right now, but I'll
let you know tomorrow"
Henrys source of information is
his scrapbook collection of local
newspaper clippings running back
as far as 1886, and constantly kept
up to date.
Mr.. Arnold's hobby of preserv-
ing accounts of the hundreds of
thousands of large and small oc-
currences which have contributed
to the history of the county began
because of his own curiousty.
Consults News Files
A number of years ago, seeking
a particular bit of information
concerning an event of a genera
ton ago, Henry searched through
the files of the former Mountain
Democrat in Oakland, which at
that time was still in publication.
He was particularly impressed by
the large amount of interesting in
formation available in the yellow
ing newspapers, and particularly
distressed by their fast-deteriorat-
ing condition.
A few more years of neglect, or
a few more visits by researchers,
he felt sure, would reduce most
Of the aging pages to dust and an
irreplaceable font of local history
would be lost.
Shortly afterward, plans were
announced to suspend publication
