Park System Hailed

That the opportunities in Mary
land for development of a good
park system we're excellent, was
declared last Thursday by James
P. Evans, a special consultant who
met with Forests and Parks per-
sonnet and a special committee.
Evans, recently retired as di-
rector of parks in New York,
spoke to a meeting of this special
committee named to draw up a
master plan for state development
of parks and recreation facilities.
He advised the committee to give
high priority to swimming facili-
ties.
The state now has five swimming
areas and three of them are in
this county Evans who is being
paid $4,000, said good access roads
and ample parking for cars also
are important. He said Maryland
S0Oulu DC SptIlulHS d gwen ouIAi
each year gradually building up
its park system"
The Department of Forests and
Parks was granted SIS million. OF
this amount S1.3 was for acquiring
more land. The Department also
had S2.5 million from previous APP
preparations which it has not yet
spent.
The state now has II parks and
recreation areas in five of 10 state
forests. There are plans for three
more parks.
Joseph F. Kaylor, department
director, said planners must make
allowances for some open spaces
or green area near metropolitan
centers. He also observed that
wooded areas along streams and
waterways would provide flood
protection and a place of refuge
to "a hard-pressed, industrial
bound population"

Black Bear Kills
Dog at Long Stretch

The second story on black bears
in two weeks appeared this week
with the report that black bear
killed a dog belonging to Gar
rett county resident Sunday night,
around Long Stretch.
The story was told by Joseph
A. Minke, regional game warden,
who said pieces of lumber and
the dog house were scattered
about where the dog and bear
apparently had locked in a death
struggle"
The bear and a cub paid an I'M
expected visit to the home of Dale
Skidmore about six miles west of
Frostburg, while the Skidmore
family was away
Another collie dog chained a
short distance away was unmo-
Tested, according to Minke, who
said the dog which was killed was
known to have been an excellent
watch dog. He said the dog I'M
doubtedly attacked the bear when
it came too close, apparently in
search of food. Tracks leading
away from the death scene showed
two bears had been there, large
one and a smaller one.
Monday morning Minke and
James Beal, state trapper, Finzel,
went to the Skidmore property,
near wooded area. Mrs. Skid
more said the dogs had been fed
shortly before the family left
home and no doubt the bear
scented the food Residents of the
vicinity reported seeing a large
black bear. Minke said black
bears have never been known to
attack a human unless wounded.
There is no open season on bears
in Maryland.
HlSS years dSo q ldi &c pldSh
bear was shot by hunter during
deer season few miles from
Finzel but because there was no
open season the hunter did not
attempt to take the bear out of
the woods. It was later reported
and recovered by game wardens.
Last week a bear and two cubs
we're seen at the state park at
Deep Creek Lake, in the camping
area.

Premium Books Are
Available For Fair

Premium books for the fifth an
nual Garrett County Fair are now
available They may be obtained
from department superintendent,
fair manager Claude Wagner, Sr.,
the County Agents office, or from
the fair officers.
James McHenry said the county
fair offers an opportunity for
farm families to exhibit articles
and items which represent the
best of their produce.
Points to consider in selecting
exhibits for the fair are trueness
of type or variety, uniformity,
freedom from blemish or faulty
craftsmanship and standards of
quality.
Many people consider only one
department when exhibiting at the
fair, he said, but the fair offers
an opportunity for exhibition of
all phases of farm and home prod
ucts.
MI. McHenry suggested that
family, if it has not already been
done, sit down around the supper
table with a premium book in
hand and plan all the exhibits
the family could enter.
Over twelve hundred books arc
being distributed throughout the
area. Over twenty-four hundred
dollars in prize money is being
offered
