pickup truck last October -.
The two youths stole the truck
from John William Bosely, of Bar

was released from custody but his
case continued on probation

Proof OF Liability
Necessary This Year
In Obtaining Tags

Joseph H. WEIGH, county treas
urcr, received briefing on pro
cedure to be followed this year
when an applicant wants to pur-
chase license tags for his automo-
bile or truck. He met last Friday
at the office of the Commissioner
of Motor Vehicles with Michael
A Noppinger, deputy commits
sioner and Owen McGeeney, comp
troller
1t was pointed out TO Mr.
Welch the importance of having in
his possession the insurance blank
UCJ-1, which indicates that per-
son has at least $4,000 to $4,000
liability insurance on the vehicle
for which he is purchasing the
tags.
If the person does not have the
blank, he will be required to pay
S26.0O in addition to the price of
the license tags.
WEIGH said the Motor Vehicle
department has anticipated that
people will be coming in with
their insurance policy to indicate
they have coverage, but he said
the department warns this will
not be sufficient. The Commits
sioner of Motor Vehicles says that
the person must have the blank
filled out by the insurance agent.
The blank also is to be signed
and dated at the time the tags
are purchased, and if sent to the
Commission in Baltimore it should
be signed the day the application
is sent.
WEIGH said that II county treas
urers in the state are authorized to
issue tags and all were at the
meeting on Friday to learn the
proper procedure.
Tags are to be shipped to the
treasurer probably this week and
may be purchased after February
81. They may be displayed on
automobiles after the first day OF
March.
WEIGH said he had ordered 4,00C
sets of tags and they are listed
starting with DC-27O1. The tags
this year will have blue letters
with a White background The
cost of licenses will be S1515 Or
S23.15 depending upon the weight
of the vehicle.

in commercial vegetable growing
in the county and that the com
pany had been evaluated favorably

Bureau, Maryland Extension serv-
ice, the Mt Top Chamber Of Com
merce, Rural Promotion council,

State May Aid
Counties In Cost
Of Snow Removal
Winter Road Damage Also
Heavy Item Of Expense,
Commissioners Declare

The recent snow removal con-
ference held in Baltimore brought
some encouragement to Garrett
County's Commissioners for help
on their high snow removal cost
but nothing definite in the way of
commitments, it was learned this
week.
The County Commissioners at
tended the session along with
commissioners from the other
twenty-thrce counties of the state.
The discussion concerned not
only the cost of snow removal but
all emergency situations through
out the state which could not be
cared for by the subdivisions.
The State Roads commission
and state officials are to make a
further study of the problem and
make recommendations at a later
date to set up an emergency fund
that would be available whenever
the need arose.
Garrett county's commissioners
estimated that their average cost
of snow removal over the past ten
years was between $4,000 and
100000 but that already this year,
up to the first of January the cost
had been over 100000.
In addition it was pointed out
that the damage to highways be-
cause of frost boils," would
amount to at least 100000 this year.
Carr Schcll, president of the com
missioncrs, said the damage to
highways had been extremely
heavy this year and he looked for
the bottom" to drop out of num-
Der of roads when the spring thaW
got under way.
The Commissioners arc hopeful
that when this emergency fund is
set up by the state, that $4,000 to
$4,000 would be available for the
county's use for the extremely
heavy cost of snow removal.
He pointed out that it was not
particularly suspicious time to
have such a conference because
this year most every county of the
state has had unusual expenses
with snow removal Particularly in
Baltimore City the cost of snow
removal alone this year has been
over a million dollars
But the unusual snow removal
cost goes on and on in this county
year after year, he stated

Bill To Establish
Minimum Wage of
SIPS Is Introduced

A bill to establish a minimum
wage of SIPS per hour was intro
duced in the House of Delegates
on February l. containing the
names of fifty-one members Of the
House The name of Eliza Bray
was among them.
The wage and hour law would
be applicable with certain eXcep-
tions to employees who are not
engaged in interstate commerce
or in the production Of goods for
commerce and relating generally
to the wages paid to and thu
hours worked by such persons
The provisions would not apply
to executives, administrative en-
ployes, professional employees and
outside salesman. employees en-
ploycd in the fishing business, the
cultivation of soil. or canning and,
household domestic workers and
employees who have not reached
their eighteenth birthday and are
not employed for work week
longer than Is hours.
Several trades organizations and
other groups are opposed to the
measure, claiming it would have a
tendency to throw more people
out of work than it would help
by raising wages
They claim if people were forced
to pay the SIPS per hour wage
they would hire less people.
The bill was referred to the
committee on judiciary.

ance is an alliance for defense
against aggression which abides
fully by the requirements of the
charter of the United Nations.
The peaceful characteristics CT
its members and their freedom
from coercion make it mani
feStly impossible for NATO to
commit aggression against any,

2. The Federal Republic of
Germ any has demonstrated
that it looks to it's legitimate
security interests entirely within
the North Atlantic alliance,
and to this end has integrated
| its entire effective defense
establishment into the multi
national NATO framework.
The Chancellor, in emphasizing
the defensive aspects of West
German armed forces. noted
that the Federal Republic is
the only nation of its size all Of
whose forces are under inter-
national command.
| Mention Other Tasks
While agreeing on the need
to take all measures essential
to strengthen the defensive pos
ture of NATO, the President
and the Chancellor recognized
the necessity of not permitting
Soviet pressure over Berlin to
defect them from urgently re-
quired constructive tasks vital
to the welfare of their peoples
and those of other nations.
The President reaffirmed the
strong support Of the United
States for the movement toward
European unity through the
European Economic Commu-
nifty, the European Coal and
Steel Community and Euratom.
The President and the Chancel-
lor agreed on the important
role that the development of
the European communities can
play in further strengthening
and complementing the en-
tire Atlantic community. They
agreed particularly on the i'm
portance and significance of
proposals now being considered
for a European political union
pursuant to the Bonn declara-
ton of July. 1861.
They welcomed the recent
decision by the DECD Council
Of Ministers to increase the
combined gross national product
of the DECD member countries
by so per cent in 1870 and
pledged themselves to work
toward this goal.
See Need of Foreign Aid
The President and the Chan
cellor also discussed the urgent
need to increase the flow of
development assistance to the
lesS-developed countries. They
noted that the development
assistance committee of the
DECD provides an excellent
means Of stimulating a greater
effort in this field. They con-
Sidered that in many cases the
application of combined re-
sources from several capital
exporting countries to specific
development assistance prob
lens would be a. valuable
method of assisting the less
developed countries.
1t is the view Of the Presi-
dent and the Chancellor that
the fruitful exchange Of views
which they have had will facil-
itate the close cooperation be-
tween the United States and
the Federal Republic and result
in further strengthening the
ties Of friendship and mutual
understanding which have
characterized their relations in
the postwar period.
