Deep Creek Waters
Not Contaminated
Health Man Assures

DR.. Arthur F. Jones, state health
officer for Garrett county, and act
ing deputy health officer for Allie
gany county'S health department,
was quick to correct an impression
that Deep Greek waters might be
contaminated. but not before a
news report released by DR.. MAJ tin
NJ. Rothstein in Cumberland had
stirred up a hornets nest in this
area.
Dr.. Jones declared that recent
announcements from the depart
ment had been misunderstood to
imply that the Deep Creek area
waters are contaminated with the
typhoid germ They are not, he
emphasized.
DR.. Jones said that the lake
showed no more contamination than
any other bodies of ground water
and that as a matter of fact Deep
Creek Lake was fed largely by
springs beneath the lake surface.
DIR. Jones said a survey in 1861
showed that there was no danger
Gus contamination in Deep Creek
Lake.
He said the health department
had long advocated vacationers
drinking other than approved mu-
nicipal water be immunized against
typhoid fever and it was only be
cause of introduction of typhoid
into the Pittsburgh area from a
person returning from Switzerland,
and the fact that many persons
from that area visit Deep Creek
Lake, that the precautionary meas
ure of typhoid shots was recon-
mended.
Aza c. Stanton, president of
the Deep Creek Lake-Garrett
County Promotion Council, Inc,
wondered why Dr. Rothstein had
singled out Deep Creek lake to
receive such adverse publicity
when there was no particular reas-
on for it.
Mr. Stanton wrote to DR.. Ferry F.
Prathcr, commissioner of health
saving an immediate retraction and
Qualification of Rothstein's "un-
savory' remarks should be forth
coming Immediately
In a recent letter from the Penn
sylvania Health Department of
Health, DR.. Jones was assured that
the one case of typhoid fever in
the Pittsburgh area had been en-
tirely contained
The principal dangers of the
spread of typhoid infection would
come from contamination of private
wells by septic systems, DR.. Jones
concluded.

Will Try To Obtain
100 Pints At Next
Bloodmobile Visit

Another attempt will be made to
obtain at least 100 pints of blood
for hospital emergencies when the
American Red Cross JohnStown
bloodmobile unit comes to Oak
land next Wednesday, May g.
The unit will be located at the
Oakland fire hall from IL O'Clock
noon to p. m. Mrs. Grover c.
Stemple, blood recruitment chair
man, said loyal contributors will
be sent cards notifying them of the
time of their appointment, with
the notation that they may come
at any time if the time stated is
not convenient Mrs. Stemple said
the volunteers were needed
whether or not they receive APP
pointment cards and urged special
support for the project.
Mrs. Stemple said the supply of
blood was getting low since more
pints were being used in hospitals
of the area than were being stored
by the Johnstown unit. Mrs.
Stemple pointed out that Oakland
had not made its quota for some
time and Garrett county stands in
18th place among 81 counties of
the area participating. She said
that the National American Legion
organization had urged that the
local post support the blood pro-
gram.

Gov. TaWes Yields
Axe TO Measure
On Forest Funds
Opposition Of Forestry De
purtment Cited As Cause
For Veto Of Bill

Governor J. Willard Tawes mott
fled State Senator Spencer Graham
on April &c that Senate Bill 464,
which would have provided addi-
tional revenue for Garrett County
from the reserve fund of the De-
partment of Forests and Parks. was
strongly opposed by the forestry
department. and said that under
the circumstances it will be neces-
SaI'y for me to veto this bill"
The bill was engineered through
the Maryland Senate by Senator
Graham and the measure was later
passed by the House of Delegates
during the final week of the legis-
lature.
The bill specifically stated that
80 percent of the revenue derived
from the sale of forest products on
state land and placed in a reserve
fund for the Department of For
ests and Parks, would be turned
over to the County Commissioners
of Garrett County. Prior to the in
PRODUCTION of the bill the county
was receiving Is percent of the
fund which amounted last year to
$3.50.
The Commissioners and legiS-
lators had maintained that the
amount should be greater to take
care of road maintenance and snow
removal on county roads running
through state forest land. The bill,
if made law, would have made it
possible for the county to receive
$4,000 or more.
There are 76 miles of county
owned roads that run through state
owned land in Garrett county and
it was estimated that an amount
of $4,000 to $4,000 would be a
comparable amount to maintain
these roads. The state owns 10000
acres of land, or leases it. An
average assessment would be SIS
an acre which would raise S58 500
in taxes, if the land were privately
owned
