County Will Return
To Standard Time

Garrett county's incorporated
towns will return to standard time
on Sunday, September 20, at 2
o'clock. The county officially will
make no move, since it made no
official move this spring. However,
hours of business in various county
offices corresponded to daylight
time. They will return to standard
time Sunday morning.
This still will not end the con-
fusion completely since some east
ern states are remaining on daylight
time until the last Sunday in Octo-
Der. AS a result of this at least two
state agencies in this county will
continue to operate on daylight time.
They are the Department of En-
ployment Security and the State
Roads commission office.
Schools will return to standard
time on Monday morning, Septem-
Der 30, despite the inconvenience
of some students catching Allegany
county buses for transportation to
Allegany county schools.
West Virginia officially returned
to standard time on Sunday morn
ing, September %, although the
two panhandles are remaining on
fast time. The West Virginia legis-
Iature decreed fast time from the
fourth Sunday in April to the
fourth Sunday in September.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
has received word that the fall
schedule probably will be announ-
we'd the latter part of October. The

COP Fund Raising
Campaign Underway

Maryland Republicans for the
first time have established an Of
ficial Statewide party Embarrassing
organization for the 1864 elections
and, they hope, permanently there
after. The Republican Fund OF
Maryland, as it is called, seeks con-
tributions in the form of annual
sustaining memberships of S. to
S500-and up.
Organized and headed by j. Fife
Symington, Jr., who is COP fl
nance chairman this year, the fund
has collected $4,000 over the sum-
mer months Mr.. Symington eX-
poets another $4,000 to $50,000 be-
fore the end of the year, and plans
another fund drive next spring.
The fund represents departure in
Maryland Republican politics,
where COP candidates have usually
depended on their personal or
ganizations to stage campaigns. For
the Democrats, party-Wide fund
raising is routine.
Now, however, Republicans are
stressing in their literature the
benefits of two-party system"
and are soliciting contributions to
the fund from Democrats and
independents.
So far, he said, the money has
been used to pay off back party
debts and meet administrative eX-
penses at the party headquarters
in the Fidelity Building. Next year,
he said, money from the fund will
be used to promote the Statewide
Republican ticket in the general
election and some of it may be put
into individual Congressional cam
paigns that show promise"
Mr.. Symington said no money
from the COP fund would be used
for primary candidates following
party policy of permitting open
primaries.

Editor: Just line or two to tell
you my husband and myself think
the paper gets better with age.
We've been subscribers for IL
years, every since we came to st.
Paul, and we have never felt we
as Negroes lacked a champion for
the cause. The paper seems to
get better each year.
Your editorial leadership has
never stopped to advocating hatred
for our fellow whites but has
urged cooperation with those Of
the majority group who sought 1t
or deserved it. Neither has your
paper backed away from battling
majority group bigots who sought
to deny our people their basic
rights.
A chief contribution is that you
have not neglected to. print the
news Of the faults with which we,
as all other groups are afflicted.
Your paper has not CLOSED over
the fact that we have a crime
problem, and that we also as a
group have some Of the same
faults others have. This Is good
journalism In our opinion and helps
build a strong worthwhile COM
munity, providing the community
gets the message."-Mrs. A. M,
