Young Boy browns
In Swollen Stream

A seven-year-old Preston coun-
ty boy was drowned Tuesday
morning in Salt Lick, shortly after
he left his home for school, when
he apparently was washed off a
small foot bridge.
The dead boy was David Null
lenax, first grade student at
Terra Alta Elementary school, and
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Null
lenax. 1t was reported first in Oak
land that it had been a Crellin
youth that had been drowned
Preston County Deputy Sheriff
|. Lloyd Wright, said the Youngster
apparently tried to cross The small
bridge after steady rain and
rapid waters had caused one end
of it to collapse during the night.
He explained the foot bridge was
used by the Mullenax children to
cross a 12-foot wide stream in order
to meet their school bus each
morning.
The bridge was only so to IS
yards from the MullenaX home at
Salt Lick, about two miles from
Terra Alta.
The four Mullenax children,
three girls, IL, 10 and 8, and the
young boy, apparently left home
together.
Authorities said the boy had
helped one of his sisters across the
bridge She went to the bus and
thought the others had returned
home for dry clothes, when he APP
parently slipped or was swept in
to the water The boy was washed
downstream about a mile where the
body was recovered about 3 o'clock
by Terra Alta residents and men,
bers of the Terra Alta fire depart
ment.
Surviving besides his parents,
Roy and Vonda Garrett Mullenax,
are five sisters and three brothers,
Mary. Dorothy, Betty, Carolyn,
Catherine, Steve, Kenneth and
Michael, all at home.
Funeral services will be con-
Quoted Friday afternoon at 2

cemetery.

Flood Pictures Are
Not Available


The Republican sent two flood
pictures to KingWood on Tuesday
evening for cuts to be made They
were made all right, but due to
flood conditions along the B. and
o. railroad the schedule became
mixed up. The mail car of train 80
was put on No which went
through Oakland early this morn
ing. The mail car was locked and
there was no attendant ConSc-
qucntly no cuts we're received
here. They'll probably reach here
this afternoon, too late of course
for today's issue.

Town To Operate
On Daylight Time
Again This Year
Motion Passed Month Earlier
Than Usual; Budget For
Yeor Is Approved

Daylight Saving time will be in
effect in Oakland again this year,
it was decreed at the regular
meeting of the Mayor and city
council of Oakland on Monday
evening. The move came Just a
month ahead of action in previous
years. The vote on the motion was
unanimous.
Clocks will be moved ahead one
hour prior to retiring Saturday
night, April 81, since the new
schedule will go into effect at 2
a. m. on Sunday, April %. The
town will return to standard time
on Sunday morning, September 20,
at 2 o'clock.
The county has taken no official
action on the time question and if
the pattern carries through there
will be no official action. The court
house will run officially on stand
ard time. Schools in all probabili-
ty will follow the daylight time
pattern but will revert to standard
at the usual time. Allegany coun-
ty usually remains on daylight
time until the final Sunday in
October.
A number of other incorporated
towns of the county will probably
operate on daylight time as in
previous years.
Budget Is Approved
In other action at Monday nights
council session, the budget for the
year was approved. 1t called for
estimated receipts of $143, 1853 Sc,
and this added to the balance at
the beginning of the year of SAL
109.40, would make total of $184,-
463.36 Expenditures are estimated
at S163, 44677, leaving a probable
balance at the end of the year of
S21 ,O1659.
AS the result of the budget APP
prOval, it was pretty well deter
mined that the tax rate would re-
main the same as previous years,
80 cents on each $780, The levy is
not determined until the May
meeting, but no raise was an
ticipated.
Estimated receipts included $48,-
539.44 from taxes. SS7,065.12 from
general; SAT ,27OOO from water; and
S10,4794O from police, including
$4,000 from parking meters.
Estimated expenses would in
clude $42,46 for street depart
mcnt; 52,332.25 for water depart
ment; $15,206.31 for police depart
ment; and S53,44821 for general.

a new car for the police depart
ment. Sunday movie tax amounted
to 5000
Receipts for February amounted
to $2,21711 with expenditures listed
at $9,250.58. A letter from the SUI

Heavy Rain Cause
Of Flood Danger;
Easements Filled
Woman Evacuated From
Home In Canoe; Streams
Out OF Their Banks

Unusually heavy rains falling on
much snow in this area Monday
night pushed a number of streams
out of their banks, flooding low
lying roads. The Little Youghio-
gheny gave considerable trouble
to Oakland, backing up the waters
of Wilson creek, and flooding base
ments along Second street.
Several families in the town of
Crellin had to be evacuated from
their homes by boats Tuesday
morning along the Youghiogheny
river, and one person just off
Water street in Oakland had to be
evacuated by canoe, borrowed
from the Minnich Funeral home
for the occasion. She was Mrs.
Ruth Crosco who was surrounded
with water at her home near the
site of the old mill.
Easements under the Garrett Ma
tional Bank, West Maryland Power
company, Rudy's Department store,
Gonder's Cut Rate, and The Re-
publican office we're flooded and
the furnaces we're not able to oper-
ate until Wednesday morning.
When the waters started rcceding
pumps were placed i'll position and
the cellars cmpticd
The three families evacuated at
Crcllin we're Mr. and Mrs. Reuben
Collins and children, James Ford,
his wife and children, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Paul Slaubaugh.
Paul Dewitt, county roads en-
ginecr, reported he dispatched
several men to the town of Crellin
and to other areas Several resi-
dents in the area we're able to get
to dry land safely after wading in
the ice cold water.
Upon recommendation of the
County roads department, the
schools were closed for the day.
Wilson run, at times causing floods
in the Oakland business district,
was held back this time by some
flood control work that had been
completed.
Miller's Run, from Ferndale to
the Swallow Falls road, had four
feet of water on it at one time and
the road to Harrington Manor was
closed. In the Pleasant Valley area
there we're several county roads
covered with water Water also was
flowing over several bridges in the
Underwood section south of Oak
land A small bridge was washed
out on the Miller's Run road
The Potomac river remained in
its banks adjacent to Garrett coun-
ty at KitzmiIler, but crested a
little above flood stage at Luke in
Allegany county AT 3 a. m. the
North Branch crested at Kitzmiller
somewhat under flood stage.
The Swallow Falls road was
flooded just west of Oakland, and
water was within two inches of
getting into Lon KitzmilIcr's home.

eye, it's the retina, which then sends impulses through the optic nerve to the brain.
 Retina Can Be Burned
 But the eye can be seriously and permanently injured by the light upon which it depends. Too much light, or the wrong kind of light, burns the retina the same way paper will be burned if the suns rays are focused on it through magnifying glass.
 Within limits, the eye protects itself from excess light by narrow ing the iris and signaling pain. When this happens we look away, or put on sunglasses. But certain light rays, known as infrared rays, cannot be seen or felt, and can do extensive and sometimes perman- ent damage to the retina without our knowing it.
 Traditional protective measure - sunglasses, welder's goggles, smoked glass, and photographic film-are inadequate protection, especially for viewing solar eclipse because dangerous infrared rays can penetrate them. After the par tial eclipse of September 1860 there were 31 cases of eye burn .- ported in Utah. All but five were children. And in the State of Wash ington, 75 children suffered severe

final burns.
 Indirect Method Best


 There is no safe way to view an eclipse directly. But it can be view ed indirectly -on television or with the help of some childhood tricks.
 "One possibility is to project an image of the eclipsed sun through a telescope or binoculars onto white screen. Another is to make a simple eclipse-viewer from a piece of cardboard with a pinhole in the center. Move the cardboard oe- tween the sun and piece of white paper, and use the pinhole to focus the image of the eclipse on the paper.
 A retinal burn scar can't he treated, and causes a permanent defect in vision. So don't be lulled into false sense of security bv smoked glass, goggles, or sun. giaseSS. John Henderson. MD

KODIAK MIRROR
Looking lto At Sun During Eclipse Causes Blindness

Ed. Note: The following article appeared in the July Is issue of The National Observer and was brought to our attention by Dr. Bob Johnson who has issued strong warnings that it is very dangerous to attempt to look at the eclipse directly. Dr. Johnson especially suggested that children be fully in. structed not to watch the eclipse and further suggested that parents make it a point to bring their chil- dren indoors during the event to watch it on television.
 The eclipse of the sun tomorrow will be amazing as visual phen- omenon, but also will be a danger ous health hazard. The suns rays, even when they're partly blocked by the moon, can cause severe eye burns, somtimes even blindness.
 "Basically, the eye is like cam- era. The lens of the eye works like the lens of the camera, focusing light rays that enter through the iris onto substance that will re- cord the image. In the camera, this is the photographic film. In the

passage, too, as a biased sports
caster eating his own words
with little relish. Clegg Hoyt
also gets some laughs here as
the shocked speechless expert
in the broadcasting booth.
MacMurray, of course, again
Is splendid as the professor who
sets off all the connection. He's
really one of the movies fun
niest reactors to a comic line
or situation and he has a great
knack for seeming to throw
away a laugh line while max
ing sure that you don't miss it.
Miss Olson, who doesn't get
around much any more on the
movie screens, is a welcome
presence as the only sane per-
son on the premises.
A standout among the less
sane is Leon Tyler as the re-
luctantly airborne halfback and
Tommy Kirk is effective as the
crony who talks him into it.
A number of others con-
tribute briefly and hilariously,
then depart. An early one of
these is Ken Murray, who sparks
a fine, frantic scene as a fast
talking promoter trying to talk
MacMurray's professor into
commercializing flubber.
Shortly after he departs Bob
Sweeney arrives as an Internal
Revenue man demanding the
income tax on the professors
future fortune now mired in
Pentagon red tape. Both of
these sequences are full of fine,
sharp satire.
Among the other in and
cutters who brighten brief mo-
ments are Leon Ames, James
Westerfield, william Demarest,
Ed Wynn. Edward Andrews,
Charles Ruggles and Joanna
Moore.
The whole thing finally ar
rives at a thoroughly satisfy
ing climax in which Mac
Murray, in his airborne Model
T, makes it cloud up and rain
inside the automobile of a big
mouth acquaintance. This isn't
Walt Disney's comedy sensation

most Of its l02 minutes. The
screenplay is literally gag
studded and even boasts some
sharp adult satire. 1t is per-
formed by a veritable army of
supporting players in fast and
funny comedy bits. And Robert
Stevenson's direction gives it
chariot race pace most Of the
way.
"Son of Flubber" takes up
where "Flubber" left off. With
government payments for that
bouncy glop bound in red tape,
MacMurray's professor has to
turn to something else and
comes up with flubbergas. This
gets him into just as much
trouble as any thing else he
ever invented.
In one stage Of his expert
ment he uses it to lombard
clouds and produce rain. Works
fine when he aims his gadget
into the kitchen, forms a cloud
from the teakettle's steam and
produces an indoor shower. The
professors wife Nancy Olson
regards the family dog with
some suspicion, but this is small
trouble compared to what the
professor next engineers.
He sees a cloud outside the
garage window and fires his
beam at that. He doesn't get
a drop Of rain, but he skaters
every glass. bottle and window
pane for miles around.
Flubbergas also proves to
have its uses in the sports
world. In "Flubber," it was a
basketball team that got more
bounce to the basket. In "Son
Of Flubber," it's the local COL
lege football team that bene-
fits from the use Of the profess
sor's miraculous invention.
1t enables the boys to perfect
ball control by doing away with
the intercepted pass. They put
a back in flubbergas-i inflated
suit and simply pass him in
stead of passing the football.
It's a daffy football game and
one Of the numerous and comic
incidental performances is that
of Alan Carney as the aStounded
referee. Paul Lynde adds to this
