Gov. Tawes Inspects
Site of New Airport

It was cold and bleak last Sat
urday morning, September 16, but
Governor Tawes landed on the
airport site. nevertheless, and in
brief ceremonies presented check
for S27 700 to the Board of County
Commissioners to assist in financ-
ing the costs of the new airport.
Comparatively few were on hand
to witness the transaction because
of the inclement weather.
The check was a portion of the
S77,006 which the State has APP
propriated as its share of the eX-
penses for paving the runway and
aiding in other expenses.
OF the S3O8,O24 total cost of the
project, the Federal Government
is paying 50 percent and the state
and Garrett county IS percent
each.
Governor TaweS told the Gar
rett county officials that the air.
port now under construction, would
be a great asset to the county in
its effort to stimulate the tourist
business and attract new indus
try to the area. The county is both
a winter and a summer resort
The construction schedule calls
for completion of the runway
before the winter season opens
if the winter season does not ar
rive too soon.

County Will Return
To Standard Time

Garrett County incorporated
towns will return to standard
time on Sunday morning, Septem-
tY'r "a, at o'clock. The county
officially will make no move, since
it made no official move this
spring However, hours of bust
ness in various county offices cor
responded TO daylight time. They
will return to standard time Sun
day morning
But this will not end the con-
fusion since some eastern states
are remaining on daylight time
until the last Sunday in October
AS a result of this at least two
state agencies in this county will
operate on daylight time They are
the Department of Employment
Security and the State Roads COM
mission office.
School will return to standard
time on Monday morning, despite
the inconvenience of some students
catching AIlegany county buses
for transportation to Allegany
county schools.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad

A dairy barn of Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert D. Bucket, destroyed by
fire during an electrical storm on
Monday, June IL, has been rebuilt
through cooperative efforts of
neighborS and friends, and a barn
dance to commemorate the occa-
sion is to be held in the new barn

Sunday.
The new barn is located two

There have been open Houses
upon numerous occasions but this
is the first time for en- open Barn"
in the history of the county, as
far as is known.
The story of the fire was re-
counted by Mrs Bucket. She
stated; During a severe electrical
storm on the evening of June 18th
the barn on the Robert Bucket
farm was completely destroyed by
fire when struck by bolt of
lightning The following morning
the cows were MIXED in the barn
on the adjoining farm and the
same day neighbors came in and
set up temporary milking quarters
in another farm building.
Jonas Tice, representative of
the Mennonite Disaster Service.
approached us and explained the
assistance they would give in do
mating labor if we decided to erect
another barn. They render these
services as pure Christian wit
ness to help others in time of need.
With the help and encouragement
we received from friends and
neighbors, our insurance funds,
and substantial cash gift from
St. Johns Lutheran church, Mead
ow Mountain. we decided to re-
build Construction began on July
10th. Women of the community
donated food and helped in serv-
ing meals to the men to gave free
ly of their time to do the work.
We now have a completely new
and modern dairy barn with pipe
line milking, etc, as the result of
the love, concern and united eff
forts of our neighbors. Without
their help the task would have
been impossible. We are naming
our farm the "Nayburlee Farm,
because of the neighborliness
that has been shown in our time
of disaster"

No Action Taken On
Judge Appointment

No action toward the appoint
ment of a judge to replace the late
Associate Judge Neil c. Fraley,
has been taken as far as is known,
although rumors are circulating
freely.
The actual appointment will be
made by Governor j. Millard
Tawes. The procedure to be fol-
lowed is not certain.
Governor Tawes earlier had
named judicial appointment COM
mittee for the Maryland Bar As
ISOLATION and had included men,
bers of the bar from each county
of the fourth judicial circuit. S. r.
Pagenhardt is the Garrett county
representative and Earl Manages is
the Allegany county representa-
tive. The committee at present is
waiting for Governor Tawes to re-
quest a recommendation.
If no appointment is made until
January, the election of judge
would not be held until the gen.
eral election in November of 1864,
since there are regulations that
call for a judge to serve at least
one year and this would not be
possible unless he was named
prior to November.
Cumberland daily newspapers
reported that the Garrett County
Bar association would support
candidates. of Stuart F. Hamill
and Walter w. Dawson Any Of
ficial support was lacking since
the Bar association has had no
meeting, and this was only con-
lecture.
Hamill, of course, is the only
Democratic attorney in the county.
Dawson is 81 years of age and if
named, could serve until mandatory
retirement age of TO- Dawson was
admitted to the bar in 1881. Hamill
was admitted in 1941 and served in
the armed forces before doing
much practice of law in this coun-
ty.
Members of the Garrett County
bar are E. Ray Jones, who is be-
yond the age limit of 70; Walter w.
Dawson, S. r. Pagenhardt, w.
Dwight Slower, Fred A. Thayer,
Jack Turney, Lewis r. Jones, all
Republicans, all of Oakland;
Stuart F. Hamill. Oakland, Demo-
crat; c. c. Nathan, Grantsville,
Republican and Stanley Smith re-
tired international attorney, a
member of the Garrett County
Bar association but not in active
practice. The judgeship for Gar
rett county was originated in the
1914 session of the Maryland Legis-
lature and the late Judge Fraley
was the only person to fill that Of
flee. At that time Allegany coun-
ty was given only one judge, but
further legislation since that time
has brought the number again to
two. Present Allegany county
judges are Chief Judge Morgan c.
Harris and Associate Judge w.
Earl Cobey. Both Allegany judges
will serve in this county until an
appointment is made.

New Threats

But as medicine has earn
ed one brilliant triumph after
another, a whole new set of
threats has burgeoned. AS
you probably know, the two
main killers today are heart
and blood vessel disease, and
cancer.
With usual diligence and
dedication, medical research
is in full swing against these
more recent enemies. The
picture is very hopeful. Al
ready much has been learned
about prevention and control
of heart disease. Anticoagu-
lantS and new techniques in
heart surgery are part of the
answer.
There are blood-pressure-
lowering drugs for hyperion
sion, surgical techniques for
preventing some strokes, and
the wonderful antibioticS
continue to save lives.
Much more is known about
the early detection and treat
ment of cancer. AS I said in
a fairly recent column. if
women would have periodic
breast examinations and take
advantage Of the Papanico-
