Extra Trick Is Dangerous

South won the first trick with
the king of diamonds, led a
spade to dummy's ace, and
tried to discard club on dunn
my's ace of diamonds.
If this trick had gone through
safely, South might have come
home with IL tricks. The actual
result was far less pleasant.
West ruffed the ace of dia-
mondS and returned a trump.
Now South found it impos-
sible to make his game con-
tract. He couldn't set up any
long suit, and a croSs-ruff
would produce only nine tricks.
Early CrOsS-Ruff
South should have made sure
of his contract by an early
cross-ruff. There was no need
to try for a second diamond
trick.
South should count his tricks
from the start. A cross-ruff
will give him seven trump
tricks. The game is safe if he
can win just three tricks in the
side suits.
The safest tricks in the side
suits are the king Of diamonds
the ace of spades and the ace

C0unty's Only Execution For Murder
Took Place 50 Years Ago This Month

Smith, the condemned man, was
a Negro laborer on the West Vir-
ginia Central and Pittsburgh
Railroad, which was under con-
near Elkins. His victim
was Josiah Harden, a white shoe
maker of this county.
The story begins between six
and seven p. m. on May Is. Smith,
it was testified, had been drinking
and making threats against various
persons, including Harden. At that
time, he went to Harden's home
and remained until about eight
o'clock, conversing with various
members of the family. While
there, he paid Harden five cents
for mending his shoes and left the
home but not the vicinity.
AS the Harden family prepared
to retire, two shots we're fired
through a window in quick sue
cession, striking Harden in the
shoulder. He jumped up, shook his
hand, felt his shoulder and said:
Don't do that, Smith; don't do

On Court House Hill
BY Wilbur w. Close

On May Is, 1883, John Smith
paid Josiah Harden five cents for
repairing his shoes. Six months
later, these same shoes carried
Smith to a galloWs on a hill over
looking Oakland, where he be-
came the first Cand only person
to be executed in this county. For
Smith, you see, had murdered his
shoemaker
From court records, newspaper
clippings and recollections of older
residents who heard the tale from
their fathers, the story of the
county's first murder, and the sub
sequent execution Of the criminal,
can be pieced together to form an
unusual chapter in local history.
The hanging took place n years
ago this month, on November Is,
1883, on specially built scat
fold in the rear of the old court
house on Fourth street, now the
site of the Board of Education of
fices, formerly Oakland High
school.

Effort Being Made
To Give Assistance
To Retarded Children

Parents and other individuals in
terested in finding out how re-
tarded children can be helped are
invited to Center Street School,
Oakland, at o'clock Friday night,
November 4.
A committee, headed by Mrs.
William E. Naylor, Oakland as
acting chairman, has called the
meeting with the purpose of or
ganizing as association to serve the
needs of mentally retarded chill
dren and adults in this area.
Fern L. Smith, membership
chairman of the Maryland Society
for Mentally Retarded Children
will be present on Friday night to
help organize the group. Guest
speaker will be G. j. Thompson,
Jr. President of the Maryland So
ciety for Mentally Retarded Chill
dren. A film will be shown fol-
lowed by a question and answer
period.
Garrett County as yet has no
organization designed to provide
a training program for its re-
tarded children. Inviting physici-
ans, teachers, ministers and others
to join the parents and friends of
retarded individuals, Mrs. Naylor
reports that similar groups exist
in more than 700 cities and smaller
communities in the United States.
They are working to provide edu-
cational, training and recreationaI
facilities in their communities for
the nations five million mentally
retarded. Mental Retardation oc-
ours in three out of every hundred
births
Today We know that institution
al environments are not the most
desirable, or even practical, solu-
ton to the problems, states Mrs.
Naylor. A child given commune
ty environment with public accept
ance and adequate training can
lead a richer and more self-suffici-
ent life than was ever thought
possible.
Persons interested in promoting
this program in the county are
being urged to attend.

An additional sum for the gym
floor at Northern High, money for

tiers. and additional salaries for
school teachers are among the
items to be requested by the Board
of Education from the Board of
County commissioners. The pro-
posed budget of the School board
is usually presented to the Com
missioners the latter part of the
year.
These sums were discussed at a
meeting of the School Board which
was held Tuesday instead of the
regular meeting date which falls
on election day. The needs were
for items over and above those re-
quested last year.
Specifically the items included
the following

three days weekly, but it was ex-
planned that her assignment is in
excess of the state minimum,
meaning that salary must come
from county sources if this part
of the elementary music program
is to be maintained.
About $1,000 will be needed to
be added to the $4,000 appropriated

at Northern school. This project is
