Oakland Skiers
Dominate Events
AT Junior Races
Mary K. Alvarez and Jim
Gibson Take Class I
DcwnhilI Events

Oakland skiers dominated the
ski races of the sixth annual Mary
land State Junior ski champion
ships Saturday and Sunday at
Marsh Mountain near McHenry.
Some 81 persons participated in
the eight slalom races held Satur-
day and twenty-five or more par
ticipated in the Sunday down hill
events.
Skiing conditions were consid-
cred excellent on Saturday and a
steady snowfall beginning at 3 p.
m, Saturday and continued into
Sunday building up the base, but
a strong northerly wind lowered
the temperature to 10 above zero
for the Sunday races and made it
difficult for skiers and watchers
alike. At times the spectators we're
not able to see the contestants and
it was difficult for the skiers to
stay between the flags on the
measured course.
Mary X. Alvarez copped the
state junior ski title on Saturday
afternoon and qualified for entry
in the eastern tourney scheduled
to be held in New Hampshire

Firemen Kept Busy;
Apartment Damaged

Members of the Oakland Fire
department answered five alarms
from last Thursday to Tuesday
morning, with all of them but one
being of a minor nature One ap-
parently was a false alarm.
Causing the most damage was a
fire last Thursday afternoon about
2 o'clock at the home of Mrs. Neil
c. Fraley, Fourth street, where the
walls between an apartment on
the south side and the residence,
had burst into flame as a plumber
was engaged in thawing some
water pipes with a blow torch.
Residents of the apartment are
Mr. and Mrs. Harold Kahl, Jr. The
blaze was brought under control
but not before an estimated dam
age of $500 to $3.50 on the building
and $50 on the contents. A booster
hose was used to extinguish the
flames.
Another call came about 7:40
last Friday evening, supposedly at
the home of Wilbert Sliger, in
the Underwood section, but the
spot was never located.
The cold weather brought some
overheated flues. Firemen we're
called Monday evening about $50
to an apartment home in Mt. Lake
Park, a two story frame dwelling
owned by Arthur c. Warwick and
occupied by the FickeS family on
second floor and Jean Smith and
family on the first floor Fire was
said by firemen to have started
from an overheated flue. Esti-
mated damage was in the neigh
borhood of $50
Fire from an overheated flue
also brought the Oakland fire
men to the home of Harry Nc
Robie along 219, north of Oakland,
about 7:35 on Tuesday morning.
There was no appreciable damage.
Firemen had only just returned to
the fire house when a second call
came from the McRobie residence.
Some sparks had ignited another
section of the house. This also was
eXtinguished without any damage.

County Experiences
Coldest Temperature
In Several Years

Garrett county was experiencing
its coldest weather in a number of
years, but somewhat less snow than
usual This was emphasized dur
ing the past eight days when two
readings reached beneath the 20
degree below zero mark. Last
Thursday morning was officially
20 degrees below zero although
numerous areas had up to 33 be-
low
Then the temperatures plum
meted again early Tuesday morn
ing and the official reading at
Weber's greenhouse, south of
town, was 27 below zero. Here
again there were numerous places
which recorded as much as 81 be-
low zero. Peculiarly some places
reported IL above zero. The State
Roads garage in Oakland had a
reading of 80 below.
The weather had an unusual pat
tern throughout the week, some
times the thermometer registering
higher than those in Pittsburgh,
and again they would be lower
Whether or not this was a record
for this time of year was not
known as the rather recently
designated weather man at Web
er's has not been keeping accounts
very long. 1t was remembered that
% below zero was registered in
February, 1886 or 1887, and the all
time low was 40 below zero, regis
tered in 1912.
There was some to 5 inches of
snow fell during the week.

Nine Persons Before
Court for Juveniles

Nine persons we're involved in
juvenile court proceedings yeSter-
day, for the busiest time ever in
that department. The cases were
under the direction of Associate
Judge Stuart F. Hamill, sitting as
juvenile judge.
There was one adult in the group
and the only one where names of
individuals may be used. He was
Robert Hetz of the jennings
Grantsville area, and he was
charged with persuading a youth
to leave her home, and contribut-
ing to the delinquency of minor.
He entered plea of not guilty
but Judge Hamill found him guilty.
He withheld sentence, pending a
pre-sentencing investigation by the
Department of Parole and Proba-
ton.
The girl, a 14-year-old, was
found guilty of leaving her home
without permission and remaining
absent. She was ordered to the
Montrose School for Girls but the
sentence was suspended and she
was placed under the jurisdiction
of the Garrett County Welfare
Board. The judge asked that the
board find the girl a foster home.
Another case involved three
youngsters who we're found to be
neglected. They had attended
school but their mother had left
the home and was residing else
where The children we're placed
in the custody of their grandfather.
They were ordered to be of good
behavior generally, to attend Sun
day School and school and we're
placed under the jurisdiction of
the county welfare board. The
judge stated that the mother was
not financially able to care for
the children.
Two young men we're charged
with escape from the Meadow
Mountain Forestry camp. One
pleaded guilty to two charges of
escape and rifling a mail box, while

Gas Production
Shows Increase
In Three Months
County Receives Check For
$12,1o4.57 For Period
Ending December 81

The natural gas production in
the Garrett county field jumped
back to almost normal for this
time of year according to the quar-
terly report which was received
this week by the County Commits
sioners' office.
The board received a check for
S12,19457. Three months ago it was
81 ,86825. but the two periods prior
to that were $14,O8922 and S12,-
572.3O
The report this week was the
fourth for the year. The first $780,
900 received in year goes toward
liquidation of the school building
Indebtedness and up to S25,O0O
above that goes toward expenses
of the Garrett County Memorial
hospital. The four checks this year
totaled only S46,69434, however.
Some years the total has exceeded
$4,000, and amounts above $4,000
go for school building construction.
The report showed that 675,168,-
900 cubic feet of gas had been
taken from the wells of the area
compared to 1921 900 the prcvi-
Gus ninety days. The report covers
the period October l to December
81 and showed an average of more
than seven and one half million
per day The amount received for
marketable gas was STA ,20803
compared to 97495 for the
previous quarter Some checks for
three months period have run
as high as $4,000.
Thirty-three wells we're listed as
producing gas the same as the
previous quarter. Eighteen wells
were listed under the Texas East
ern Transmission corporation. One
of them, the Mccullough, was
practically non-productive, with
only 10000 cubic feet being pro-
duced in ninety days with whole
sale market value of $275. The
Doerr well had only 100000
Largest producer on the list was
the Herman and Hanlin well with
113,882,000 cubic feet of gas pro-
duction Second was the Black and
Frazee we'll with 81 ,449000, while
third was the BOWser well with
82,251 900. Barbara Miller well had
78,0440O0 cubic feet and Collier
50, ,4O7 900.
The Norris K. WeIch well, areas
first producer, dropped from II
million to 4,939,OOO during this
quarter.
The breakdown showed that $4,-
87782 of the check was from the
purchasers proportion of the tax
at 2.8 percent of the marketable
gas; and $7,316.75 from the pro-
ducers' proportion Of the tax at
AZ percent.
Since the first check for the tax
on marketable gas was received by
the County Commissioner in July,
1851, the county's governing body
has received S659,981 81. A portion
of this amount is distributed to
incorporated towns if there are any
gas wells in those areas.
A tabulated report of the gas
production appears in this issue.

Farm Workers Now Building Social

Almost two million hired farm
workers are now building social
security credit toward future
benefits for themselves and

ity insurance benefits. are fail

covered by social security if he
is paid $3.50 cash wages Of more

he works for an employer on 20
OF more days on a time, rather
than a piece work basis. In eth
er Of these two situations. the
employer is required by law to
report the workers earnings and
Fay the social security taxes
due.
These reports are due in Jan
uary OF each year but right now
~ the working season. the farm
employer needs to make sure
that he is keeping a record OF
the people he hires SO that he
will be in a position to make his
report when January rolls
around. No elaborate record
keeping system is needed, but
the farm employer should make
sure that he makes a record of
the correct name and social Sc
curity number Of each employee
copying it carefully from the
workers social security card
Then he will need to enter the
cash wage payments he makes
