Yum-Yum Tree
Is Final Offering
At Summer Theatre

"Undcr the Yum-Yum Tree" a
comedy by Lawrence Roman, will
be the eighth and final play of
the season, at the Garrett County
Playhouse, starting next Tuesday,
August 27, and continuing through
Saturday evening, August 81.
The current offering, Critics
Choice" which opened Tuesday
evening, will continue until this
Saturday night. A review of this
play appears on another page of
today's newspaper.
1t is tcEd that the comedy's
author wrote the play without any
title in mind, and even after the
play was finished it still lacked
name. He happened to look
through a section of SteVensons
book of quotations listing lines
from popular songs and found the
line he needed.
The comedy draws its fun from
the situation of a pair of sweet
hearts who undertake to live to-
gether briefly before marriage
with VOWS of keeping the situation
pure and platonic, in order to ap-
praise whether they are truly
suited to each other for life.
Clare Fox and Jim Haire, are
hero and heroine, and there are
unusual Interruptions from Neil
Flanagan The comedy remains in
nocent, and has a dash of welcome
satire on subject that has be-
come ridiculous
Next weeks play will conclude
the 9th season which opened July
8 and continued for eight weeks,
providing a different play each
week Attendance for the most
part has been less than last season.

Boy Is Accidentally
Shot By Grandparent

Ira Custer, Jr., of Kcmpton,
underwent surgery Monday in the
West Virginia university medical
center at Morgantown, for removal
OF a % calibre bullet from his leg.
Sheriff James f. Frantz said the
youth was accidentally shot in the
inside of the thigh of his right
leg Sunday by his grandmother,
Mrs. Grace Glansbcck, at her home
on Dobbin road in the Red Oak
section.
Sheriff Frantz said the boy had
been visiting his grandmother. Sun
day morning a pack of stray dogs
began fighting with dogs owned
by Mrs. Glansbeek in her yard.
Frantz said the woman got %
calibre rifle and fired several times
in the air to break up the fight.
The lad sleeping upstairs was
awakened by the noise and he went
to the screen door of the kitchen
and called to his grandmother,
Frantz said. The woman turned
around quickly, apparently fright
ened, and had her finger on the
trigger. The gun went off acci-
dentally and the slug went through
the screen door, hitting the boy
in the upper part of the inner
thigh.
Authorities took him to Garrett
County Memorial hospital in Oak
land with the bullet still in his
leg. He suffered the loss of quite
a bit of blood. He was removed to
the medical center for surgery.

End False Alarm Is
Noted In Two Weeks

The second false alarm in two
weeks was noted yesterday by the
members of the Oakland Fire de-
partment. Inc, and they instituted
a plan of being more careful when
fire is reported.
Yesterday the call went to the
deputy sheriff. A woman's voice
said, There's a hell of a fire in
front of Southern High school"
When Wayne Wilt, deputy sheriff,
asked who was calling the woman
hung up Immediately.
The firemen naturally made the
run to the school, knowing at the
time it probably was a false alarm
and it was.
A call last week sent the fire
men to Crellin but no fire could
be found.

Notaries Awaiting
Atty.-Gen. Decision

Attorney General Thomas B
Finan was scheduled to meet with
Gov. TaWcs and Secretary of
State Lloyd L. Simpkins to discuss
whether public officials can hold
notary public commissions.
Meanwhile, designations of the
notary publics commissions con-
tinue to stream into Simpkin'S Of
flee from public officials who
weren't sure they were holding
them legally.
Finan recently said eight men,
bers of the House of Delegates who
became notaries after taking their
oaths of office as legislators, we're
holding their seats illegally. But
he said only the legislature itself
had the power to declare the Of
fices vacant.
Finan had not expressed an
opinion on whether other public of
ficials are violating the state con-
stitution by being notaries.
There are scores of public of
ficials at the county and city gov
ernment level who may be af-
fected. Notary commissions are
issued by the governor through
the secretary Of state Appointees
are recommended by their state
senator and there are some $4,000
in the state.
The ruling apparently was not
causing any furry in this county
since there are no elected public
officials who also hold notary ap-
pointments.

Announce Plans
For ROtenOniHrg
Program At Lake
Third Experiment. To Learn
Management Program Re-
suits To Be Held Sept. a

Plans for rotcnOning of Hoop
Poe cove in Deep Creek Lake
have been completed, it was an
nounced by William Harman, re-
gional fish culturist for the State
Game and Inland Fish commission.
1t is scheduled to take place on
Wednesday, September A.
Approximately 60 acres of this
arm of Deep Creek Lake will be
treated with powdered derris root
at the rate of 135 pounds per
acre-foot
Purpose of the project is to de-
termine whether the management
program instituted in 1856 has had
any appreciable effect on the pOpu-
lation of the fish, and to provide
further understanding of the ecol-
ogy of the lake.
This is the third time for this
experiment, and Mr.. Harman said
the department wanted to know
if the yellow perch had been
diminished to any great extent
and how the predator species of
fish, the Walleye, pickerel, and
great northern pike we're faring.
This is a cooperative project in
volving the Department of Game
and Inland Fish, the Department of
Research and Education, and the
organizations around Deep Creek
Lake
The game and fish department
indicated it would ask for vOlun-
tecrs the same as upon the two
previous occasions, to supply boats
and assistance in gathering in the
fish that come to the surface.
Divers also will be used to collect
the fish that sink to the bottom
of the lake. A briefing session
probably will be scheduled prior
to the date Of the project, but no
date has been announced.
When Hoop Pole cove was ro-
tenoned in 1855 some 5000 pounds
of fish were collected Four years
later the results showed a definite
change for the better. The per-
centage of yellow perch had de-
creased from 70 to 81 percent. Carp
also jumped that year from IA to
316 pounds. Second heaviest
poundage was yielded by golden
sinners. They went from almost
nothing to 900 pounds. There was
a marked reduction in white suck
crs and that the chain pickerel
which were non-existent in 1855
had become the 4th most important
fish. The northern pike had not
at that time become too well estab-
liShed
The stocking of predator fish
began after the 1855 project.

Attempt Is Made
TO Get Sanitary
Committee Active
Possibility Of Constructing
Sewage Disposal Plant
Is Projected

The possibility of eventually OBJ
tanning sewage disposal plant for
communities of Oakland, Mt. Lake
Park and Loeb Lynn Heights, and
an effort of state health officials
to get the Garrett County Sanitary
commission active brought out
number of city officials and other
civic minded citizens Tuesday
night at the Court House in Oak
land.
A petition for a survey of the
three towns was presented to the
County Commissioners last Janu-
ary by Mayor Russell L. Smith of
Oakland, but the Commissioners
have not had much success in
getting sanitary commission. Vic
tor Harvey, Bloomington; Robert
B. Sincell, Mt. Lake Park: and
Earl Haenftling, Accident, had been
named as members originally, Sim
cell and Harvey resigned a few
months ago and this week Mr..
Haenftling turned in his resigna-
ton.
Delbert Bittinger accepted ap-
pOintment to the commission re-
Gently and the Commissioners have
two others in mind who are to give
decisions Monday evening. Serv-
ing on the commission is voluntary
and without remuneration.
Present at Tuesdays meeting
were James McComas and Thomas
Shivcs, from the division of SAM
tary Engineering, state health de-
partmcnt, Baltimore; Mayor Smith.
Harold Harmed, Earl Roth and
Carlton Calls, council members OF
Oakland; Lester White. Willard
Hayden, Walter Price, Mayor Blaine
SWeitzer, Mt. Lake Park; Mayor
Lawrence Groves, Loeb Lynn; Del
bert Bittinger, Allen S. Paugh
president, and H. D. SwartZen-
truber, vice president of the Coun.
ty Commissioners, and DR.. Arthur
F. Jones, county health officer. Mr..
McCOmas presided.
Purpose was to formulate a pro-
gram if possible whereby the three
communities could get together
and get a project underway for
sewage disposal plant. The Com
missioncrs indicated they would
make decision next week as to
whether or not they would pro-
vide money for a survey by a COM
pctent engineer 1t was estimated
this would cost $4,000 to $4,000
Health department officials in
dicated they would not sanction
the addition of sewage to existing
sewers, saying they were now
loaded to capacity They also
pointed out the difficulty of adding
industry here without adequate
and proper sewerage for industrial
wastes.
The cost of a sewage disposal
plant was discussed with state
ments that federal and state funds
were available up to as much as
50 percent This is the eighth year
of ten year program where fl
nancial aid is available from
fund.
There was some discussion that
il local units did not take the lead
that the Federal government would
step in to force the issue, making
the cost more prohibitive. DR..
Jones said, however it would be a
matter for the area to accept or
reject.
A number of reasons we're adj
vanced as to why a sewage dis
posal plant would solve the areas
problem.

Grading More Subtle

A more subtle partial
screening can be accom-
plished If the ground is
raised somewhat in front of
the widened area Of pave
ment. Then only a portion
of the extra pavement can be
seen from the sidewalk or
street.
In using this plan, be care
full to study the height Of
raised portion with relation
to the house itself. With the
modern type of ranch house
the rise should be very slight.

Careful Grodinq
Can Hide Povinq
BY GEORGE E. CREED

If 1t is not, the rise will
make the low-outline of the
house seem squatty. With a
taller house this mounding
effect can be much greater,
and consequently more effec-
tive in hiding the paved area.
Every effort should be
made to make such grading
appear as natural as possible.
This means that steep slopes
and abrupt changes in grade
should be avoided. The slopes
should be easy and graceful.
This is important both for
appearance and mainte-
nance. A smoothly formed
slope is easy to NOV. If there
are sharp changes in grade,
a mower will scalp the high
spots and leave the grass in
the low spots too long.
