Additional Snow
Falls; High Winds
Cause Drifting
Two State Highways, Some
County Roads Blocked;
Some Schools Close

The second snow storm in ten
days hit Garrett county from Sun
day through Tuesday and dumped
from four to six additional inches
on the ground. Strong winds,
particularly Monday night caused
drifting which blocked several
highways in both the State roads
and County roads systems 1t was
evident that winter had arrived.
The blocking of U. S. route 219,
on Cove hill, near Keyser Ridge
kept several school buses from
completing their trip to Northern
High school on Tuesday and as a
result that school, along with
feeder schools in the area we're
closed for the day.
Students who did arrive left al
most Immediately for the return
trip to their homes. Other schools
of the county continued to operate.
The highway from Bittinger to
Grantsville, also was closed for a
time in the State system and roads
crews were busy on other state
highways.
In the county system there were
roads closed in the Pleasant Valley
and Beckman sections The county
roads department has received ad-
ditional snow fencing which it was
endeavoring to erect this week.
On the other hand the State
Roads commission was using less
and less snow fence which was
causing much wonderment among
veteran citizens of this area.
William GoldsborOugh, resident
engineer, said the state still had
some $4,000 feet of snow fence in
use but was eliminating where it
was thought possible to do so.
There is practically no snow fenc-
ing on U. S. PIG, from Oakland to
Keyser Ridge. Mr. Goldsborough
said they had more trouble keep
ing the roads open on U. S. 219
where snow fences were erected.
But quantities of fencing we're not
put up this fail and some people
stated that some of the fence that

Annual Inspection
OF Guard Unit Is
Held On Monday
Results Will Nor Be Known
For Several Weeks,
Copt. Yost Says

The annual Federal inspection
of the local National Guard unit,
Co. c, 1st battalion, 115th armor,
was held Monday night, December
8, at the armOry in Oakland.
This is an annual requirement,
according to Capt. Mahlon Yost,
commanding officer, and is con-
Quoted by a representative from
the Inspector Generals office,
headquarters, second army, Fort
George G. Meade. The representa-
tive conducting the inspection was
1t. Col. Clarence A. Moore.
Capt. Yost explained that the in
spections are divided into two
phases: an afternoon phase during
which the units administrative
records and maintenance are
checked, and the evening phase
when the training and general
knowledge and appearance of the
troops are inspected.
He said the inspections we're COM
prehensive and touched on all as
poets of the unit operation. 1t is
necessary for unit to attain a
satisfactory rating in order to main
tain Federal recognition as a re-
serve component of the Army
Following the inspection of per-
sonnel in ranks, question and
answer period also was conducted
by the inspector to determine the
knowledge that the individual had
of general military subjects.
During the second hour of the
drill a regular period of instruc-
ton was presented to all person
mel of the unit by platoon sergeant
Kenneth w. Metheny, with platoon
sergeant Robert M. Landon as his
assistant This class was on tank
platoon defensive exercises. This
also was evaluated by the inspec-
tor and will have weight in de-
termining the unit rating. The
rating will not be known for sew
eral weeks.
Attendance for the inspection
was about percent below the
yearly average with 8775 percent
cf unit strength in attendance. The
! lower percentage was attributed
to the blizzard which was blocking
roads in some areas. Capt. Yost
said the unit had members who
travel from near Grantsville, Kitz-
miller, Gormania, Red House, Ter
ra Alta and Swallow Falls. He said
Col Moore commended the unit
for this high attendance percentage
under such adverse weather con-
ditions in his exit interview with
him and key non-commissioned Of
ficcrS.
Present for the inspection also
we're Major Morris c. Paulsgrove,
first battalion executive officer;
Major Paul E. Osborne, regular
army adviser; and SIC Bernard E.

Couple Gets Bucks
On the Same Day

Mr.. and Mrs. Robert L. Nc
Kenzie, of Grantsville, both got
their bucks on the same day, but
in widely different manner.
Mr.. Mckenzie, who has been hunt
ing in vain for buck for 20 years,
finally got the ambition accom-
plished. He shot a 5-point buck
about 10 a. m, on one of the deer
hunting days this week Mrs. Nc
Kenzie got her siX-point buck about
8 p. m, but while driving on U. S.
route 40. The deer was killed in
stantly by the impact and there
was little damage to the car.

539 Deer Slain
First Six Days
Of Buck Season
Season Began Lively Enough
But Topered Off This
Week; Storm Is Factor

Five hundred thirty-nine bucks
were slain during the first six days
of the 9-day season, it was reported
this morning by game officials. The
number was totaled from the four
deer checking stations in the coun-
ty in addition to two others in
Allegany county where deer killed
in this county have been reported.
The season started lively enough
with 479 being reported for the
first three days, but the last three
days have been far less. The bliz-
zard of the first part of the week
was contributing factor, but resi-,
dents were wondering about the
way the season was set up. Start
ing in the middle of the week gave
hunters three full days of hunting,
after which many of them returned
to their homes and did not came
back for this week at all
If anyone had an idea that the
season would bring a new record
in the number of bucks slain, he
was doomed to disappointment.
The record of 8O4 kills we're re-
corded in 1860.
Many residents also we're of the
opinion that the lengthening of
the season did not help the econ
omy Since deer hunting is now
legal in every county of the state
except one, there is not the pres
sure from out of county hunters.
More of those checking deer dur
ing the week we're from this coun-
ty than from out of county.
During the first three days there
we're almost seven and one-half
! tons of deer checked at the Oak
land station with the average being
around 11O pounds. William P.
Bennett was one of the few report
i ing a 1O-pOint buck but this was
not the heaviest report The heavi-
est was a 6-point buck, shot by
John Harvey of Deer Park, and
weighing 1893 1t was caught in the
White Church area.
Others with good sized bucks
were B. F. Knepp, Jr., Oakland, 8.
155; Thomas Spiker, Kitzmiiler, 8,
16O; Harvey Tabler, Mt. Airy, 8,
1863.
Women continued to get their
share but apparently not as many
as in previous years. Those report
ing the first three days of the
week included Dorothy Michel
mann. Baltimore, Amy E. Playard,
Marjorie E. Hardesty, Deer Park;
and Mabel Nethken, Oakland.
The biggest day was last Satur-
day when 240 bucks were killed.
The list for the six days included
the following statistics:
