Promised By Boards

Promise of a new three-room
school building at Crellin, resulted
in a meeting of citizens of the
town of Crellin Tuesday evening
with the County Commissioners
and the Board of Education.
However, there was no definite
date set for construction. "As
money becomes available" the
citizens were told.
Willard Hawkins, county super
intendent of schools, and Carl
Schell, president of the County
Commissioners both spoke favot
ably about the need of the school.
A committee of parents, headed
by Leburn Myers, had appeared
before the County Commissioners
one day last week, at which time
arrangements for the Tuesday ses-
sion were made.
From 80 to 100 persons attended
the meeting which was the reg
ularly scheduled time of the Par
ent-Teacher meeting. The present
school at Crellin has been in use
for many years and consists of
three rooms and a library. Some
IS pupils attend.

Postmaster Suggests
Earlier Mailing Hour

The difference in time has
caused some possible difficulty in
prompt mailing of outgoing ma
terial, it was indicated this week
by Donald M. Browning, post
master.
He said that most of the time
business places and the large mail
ers will wait until o'clock before
placing the outgoing mail in the
office. Since the pouch for east
bound mail closes at sos, Brown
ing said it was next to impossible
to get mail dispatched in time for
the evening train.
He suggested that to insure dis
patching of the mail on the same
day it is dropped. he suggested
that people get it into the office
by a o'clock.
The mailing difficulty will con-
tinue as long as train No. IL runs
at 5:35 p. m Usually there is some
change in time when the fall
schedule goes into effect.

Weeks Observance
OF A. DIS Tooth
Birthday Continues

With the family dinner, a huge
reception at the Methodist church,
and an informal ladies' night din
ner in honor OF Oakland's CEN
tenarian. by the Oakland Rotary
club, all behind him, Alonzo d.
Naylor will continue in various
duties throughout the balance of
the week All may be sure that
it is a week-long celebration that
he will not soon forget.
The A. d. Naylor and company
and the four generations of Nay
iors planned this week-long cele-
bration to mark an event which
comes only rarely in a lifetime to
any man.
Mr.. Naylor actually passed his
Tooth birthday anniversary on
Wednesday, September q, and the
occasion was marked by family
dinner at home which was at
tended by children, grandchildren
and great grandchildren, some fiji
ty in number.
Throughout the week the store
has had in use a horse and buggy
for delivery service, although it
must be admitted that deliveries
were mostly Mr.. Naylor himself
and his employees taking short
trips throughout the area.
A blacksmith shop, similar 20
the one in which Mr. Naylor be-
gan business in 1884, was recon-
structed and blacksmithy jobs
have been completed throughout
the week by Daniel Miller and
Hayward Custer. On Monday and
Tuesday Joni Miller shoed horse
while hundred or more people
stood around as onlookers. Mr..
Naylor stood close by to see that
the operation was carried on prop
erly.
AS the week began wearing to
close, it was clear that Mr. Nay
lor was more spry than most of
his children or employees. He stood
most of the afternoon for the re-
ception which was held from 2:30
to $50 and was in no mood to go
home when it came to an end after
600 to 700 people had attended.
He didn't need a receiving line
Cor he knew by name just about
every person who came that after
noon.
He was honored last Friday

Pollen Count On Mt. Top
ShOvuu To he Relatively LOsU

A pollen count has been made
in Garrett county for the first
time. and the results should prove
interesting, according to DR..
Arthur F. Jones, county health Of
ficer.
He declared that from time TO
time inquiries had been received
bv the health department asking
for the pollen count but up to this
summer there we're no records OF
any pollen counts ever having been
made in this locality and the in
ouiries had never been answered.
The count was maze the latter
third of August when ragWeed pol
lens. which apparently are the big
gest trouble makers of all pollens,
should be at their greatest con-
centration. The count was made
at various points throughout the
county.
DR.. Jones explained that pollens
are the male elements of plants
in their bisexuaI reproduction. In
most towering plants they are
carried from plant to plant by bees
and other insects. In the nom
Towering plants, however, they
are released into the air where
they are carried to the female
elements of the plants by the
winds. These pollens are of pro-
tein structure and although micro
scopic in size, when inhaled by
sensitive individuals produce the
seasonal allergic diseases of hay
fever and asthma.
He said certain plants pollenate
at different times of the year
from the first early buds until the
first killing frost. The production
and severity of allergic symptoms
depend upon the pollen concentra-
ton in the air.
He further declared that from
time to time that this community
first became a resort area, suffer
ers from hay fever and asthma
have found relief or lessened sew
Gritty of their symptoms if they
spent the season in which their
symptoms persisted on the noun
tain top. He said we have these
pollen producing plants in about
the same quantity as other locali-
ties. But he felt the reason mu st
be that because of atmospheric
conditions the pollens we're dis
persed to higher attitudes and the
ground concentration much di-
luted.
In order to obtain accuracy in
the report the figure for each
location represents an average of
four separate counts; two at "a
hours and two at 48 hours, and
each covering an area of 4.84
