With festivals and legal holidays and everybody depending on the government for a living, won't this be a happy-go-lucky world —and useless. The latest festival to spring up is the Buckwheat festival for Preston county, our neighbors. Looks like Gar rett county is left out in the cold. There is already a potato festival, so we can’t duplicate that one. I am not sure about a maple sugar queen or an oats harvest queen. Maybe we could have a crowning of “king corn” again, or do the moonshine stills continue to be as numerous as formerly? With all the fuss and fuming about the Democratic nomination for Governor of this grand and glorious “Free State”, it looks mighty favorable for the reelection of Governor Harry W. Nice in November. Well, there will be one thing less on the November ballot. There won’t be a referendum on the dentists’ bill (not the one received on the first of every month). When the measure was passed by the Legislature, a flock of dentists filed a petition to have the voters pass on it, and the State has spent quite a sum of money advertising the bill, which would set up a state board of examiners to regulate the profession and would ban advertising by the molar jerkers, except a small specified advertisement or card. But the Court of Appeals has ruled the petition was not legal—and so there won’t be any referendum. Still there will be a referendum on the two-day marriage law, and voters will have to pass on three proposed Constitutional amendments, one providing for an additional judge in the second circuit; one prohibiting the General Assembly from authorizing a lottery, and one authorizing the General Assembly to impose taxes on incomes. All these proposed laws are given in full on page seven of The Republican and should be carefully studied by the voters. Last Friday, according to the calendar, was the beginning of autumn. While we can expect some more warm and sunshiny days during October, the leaves of the trees have already begun to color, and it won’t be long until all but the pines will be turning. Leaves were beginning to color even before Jack Frost got in his punches on Sunday and Monday mornings. Botanists and foresters of today deny that Jack Frost is the man who paints the leaves red. They say the coloring of the leaves comes from minerals in the soil that are fed through the “circulatory” systems from the roots up the trunk of the tree to the branches and thence into the leaves, but they are unable to Explain how, why and whence it all happens. At any rate, the foliage here should be gorgeous when the 500 Baltimoreans come up here on Sunday, October 9, on the final excursion of the year. It is said by someone that Hitler has asked Roosevelt for the loan of 50,000 WPA workers. He wants to get them over there and melt the lead out of their feet so he can make more bullets. Reading Glasses Needed? Workmen were engaged the other day in placing a sign near the elementary school: “School; Drive Slow.” Two young boys came along and looked curiously at the sign. “This way to school,” one read laboriously. Said the other, “What do they want to put up a sign like that for? We know how to get there.” Considering the entire summer there was more publicity given to this area by various agencies including the Baltimore and Ohio railroad company, than for the past several years — and according to a hotel owner of this section, business was better this year than it has been for the past ten years. An inquiry came to the railroad company for particulars about 2 Maryland resort town in the mountains where they had just established a golf course. The inquiry was from a man at Atlanta, Ga. This business of boosting Oakland and Garrett county is not a one-season affair. We've got to keep it up. Publicity given this summer may take effect next year or even five years from now. There's no telling how or when, but there is one sure thing—it is effective. The way the O’Connor and Jackson challengers objected to ballots during the recount was outlandish. A ballot with the merest speck or malicke was often objected to, even though the “X” was within the designated spaces. In this way more than enough bullocks were rejected to make the county pay for the recount. That’s what I would call an injustice. You can call it what you will. GRANTSVILLE Dog Week Celebrated Twenty-one canines were entered in the National Dog Week parade held here Saturday afternoon. Cash prizes, donated by the garages, were awarded to Virginia Van Gilder, great Dane for the largest dog; a tiny chihuahue, owned by Miss Gertrude Murphy, of Swanton, smallest; and Mr. and Mrs. John H. Folk’s terrier, which was paraded by Robert Davis, best behaved dog. Other breeds represented were English Setter, cocker spaniel, aire dale, white collie, beagle, smooth fox terrier and rat terrier, besides dogs of mixed breeds. Heading the parade was the drummer, “Buster” Bender. The local committee this year was Clyde F. Bender, chairman; William Winterberg. F. J. Getty, Miss Rachel Holmes and John H. Folk.

Bender, gave a performance at a special assembly Friday afternoon at which time the essay awards were presented by Principal Frank J. Getty. Fire Damages Mill A fire originating in an axhaust box at the Olin L. Miller planing mill on the Salisbury-Springs road, near here on Monday did considerable damage to machinery, the mill and finished work, before it was brought under control by local firemen. The saw mill owned by Henry F. Durst, which adjoins the Miller mill, also was damaged. Mr. Durst placed his damage at $500. Mr. Miller said his damage was partly covered by insurance. Repairs to both plants will be made in the near future.
