James.Crable, above, is shown at the Cumberland Fair where she has served 25 years with the 4-H Club. "I've enjoyed every minute in 4-H," says the veteran 65-year-old supervisor For Mrs. James Crable: 25 Years' Service With 4-H At Fair Rich In Memories Garrett Community College Accredited The Board of Trustees of Garrett, Community reported today that the college has received full regional ac- creditation by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, according to Dr. Alfred C. O'Connell, of the college and board secretary.

He said recognition by this" body represents one of the most milestones in -the college's development. The entire college community has been involved in the ac- creditation process for three years and as a final step in the process during the 1974-75 academic year the faculty i completed a detailed in- stitutional self-analysis in preparation for a visit by a ten- member reviewing team. In it's letter informing of the regional accreditation the i i on i Education states in part this is an important step in the history of Garrett Community College. It signifies that you and your colleagues and your supporting agencies have succeeded in developing a viable institution as judged by your peers. We are, pleased to welcome you to membership in the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools." Dr.

O'Connell called attention to four significant aspects associated with regional ac- creditation. First, the college received recognition "in the i minimum amount of time possible in the accreditation timetable. Second Garrett Community College was granted full accreditation for a five-year period rather than an initial which is typical for original ac- creditation. Th'rd, regional accreditation will expedite the transfer process for students interested in continuing their education at a four-year in- stitution and lastly, the college is assured of eligibility for federal funds earmarked for higher education. Dr O'Connell also reported that fall enrollments are up by 156 per cent as compared to 1974.

Eighty-eight new students have applied for admission, with most of them being spring graduates from Northern and Southern high schools. The remaining students come from other Maryland counties, Pennsylvania, West Vriginia, New Jersey and Ohio. The program of greatest interest to the hew applicants is that of Environmental and a Technology with its options in agriculture, forestry, land- scaping, wildlife management and construction. One-fifth of the students plan to enroll in general studies so they may explore various fields leading to careers. City, Area Weather DOWNTOWN READINGS By SUTER KEGG Evening Times Staff Writer Mrs James Crable doesn't know where or when the old saying originated about a person never being too old to learn but she wholeheartedly agrees with it Mother of six ana caletena manager of the Barton School, Mrs.

Crable, a resident of Lonaconing, is completing 25 years' service at the Cum- berland Fair with the 4-H Club. "Working with 4-H is a con- tinuing education," points out Mrs. Crable, a supervisor in the household exhibition hall. "I can see things in the eyes of young people; they have a lot to teach us older people." Mrs. Crable had intended to "sit out" the 1975 fair, now in its fo'urth day, but at the insistence of Charles Babich, 'decided to return.

"I think she felt by staying that she was depriving other leaders of the work she has been doing so well for so many years," says Mr. Babich, county extension agent in charge of 4-H activities. Mrs. Crable, who confesses she will be 65 her next birthday, has been a part of virtually every aspect 'of 4-H endeavors style shows, state fair, etc. A 4-H honorary All-Star title was also bestowed on her for leadership and service.

"I've enjoyed every minute in 4-H," says the veteran super- visor, an affable, low-key person. "I think I've gotten as much out of it as I put into it. To do it right, you have to put in a lot of time and I've done that." Most of the memories for Mabel Crable in a quarter- century at the fair are cherished ones. "The hours at the fair are long but there's a lot of humor here," she notes. One of those humorous anecdotes involves herself.

"I entered a coconut layer cake one year which I thought had a good chance for a ribbon. I used the best'ingredients, including country butter, and iced it with 4-H marshmallow frosting. It may have been the most out- standing 'picture' cake I ever baked." In the exhibit hall, Mrs. Crable made the mistake of placing the cake on a slanting table. The vibration caused it to slide to the floor, creating what she described as an "ugly en- try." She kept the cake in competition, however, and despite a "mashed-potato" appearance, it won a second- place ribbon.

Another incident that "took Aiiswr A Members of the a Volunteer Fire Department responded about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday when a 'junked car at Skidmore Auto wreckers, Midlothian, caught fire. the cake" occurred several years ago when several boys came through the exhibit hall, snatched the most beautiful cake on the table and ran out the door. They left it under a. tree after discovering it was a dummy cake, styrofoam having been iced to make the display look like the "real thing." Then there was the time when one of the judges questioned a watermelon a 4-H boy had entered in the fair.

"The judge was from Hagerstown and he knew that melons in this city weren't nearly as large as the one this boy entered," Mrs. (Continued on Page 24) Fair Cattle Champion Selected The final phase of the judging at the Cumberland Fair was scheduled for this afternoon with. 4-H Club and Future Farmers of America cattle passing in review. Paul Spurrier of Union Bridge, and Samuel Dieht, Bedford County, each won two grand-champion ribbons in dairy cattle competition. Mr.

Spurrier had both the bull and female in the Guernsey breed while Ayrshire honors went to Mr. Diehl. The grand-champion bull in Jerseys came from the Robert Beekley and Son stable in Fair Play, while the female is owned by George Stiles and Son, Boonsboro. Don Brooke, Route 1, Keyser, had the female grand champion inHolsteins. Mary Sweeney, Gaithers- burg, had the grand-champion female for the Angus breed in beef cattle, judged last night.

a Trent Spielman and his 15-year-old sister, Kim, had the grand- champion bull and female respectively in Shorthorns. The Spielmans live in LaVale. E. Lee. Damascus, had the top bull and female in Herefords.

Taking honors in the art show was Kathie Hersh of Cresap- town whose paintings earned three blue ribbons and one red. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Horst- Cumberland, were the big winners in the flower show. According to Mrs.

Robert Robertson of Lonaconing, the quality of the floral entries is better than it has been in the past few years. The first of two shows by the Kochman Hell Drivers is scheduled at the fair tonight, starting at 8 o'clock. The auto daredevils will also appear tomorrow night. Decision On Mining Reversed By Getty Associate Judge James S. Getty has reversed a decision by the Allegany County Board of Zoning Appeals in which Delta Mining Company was denied a conditional use permit to strip mine coal in the Barrelvillearea.

The board had denied the permit on the basis of op- position claiming the mining operation would threaten the water system in Barrelville, said system being composed of two welts from which water is pumped into a reservoir and then on to subscribers. A court-ordered inspection of the site was conducted by the Water Resources Commission, which stated in a report July 18 the possibility of acid drainage into the water system is ex- tremely remote. The commission indicated in support of its findings the strata which holds the water supply reservoir is not in structural or geologic continuity with the strata where mining is taking place. The layer where strip mining is taking place dips away from the strata where the reservoir is located. The only apparent threat to the water system, the report said, is from an abandoned mine 10 feet above the reser- voir.

That mine is unrelated to the stripping operation, which is located across the valley, the report said. Where any extractive type industries (i.e. agricultural, lumber or mining) are per- mitted by Allegany County zoning ordinances, Judge Getty said, the board cannot deny any application except where evidence is at least fairly debatable. "The record is devoid of any showing that the water supply may be affected, that noises will be disturbing to the nearby residents and the statement that the operation would be contrary to public interest is a conclusion that is not supported by the record," Judge Getty noted. The zoning board acts solely in an administrative capacity, Judge Getty said, and its discretionary powers are limited to standards expressly stated by law.

It may not deny a conditional use or special permit for reasons which are unrelated to the standards imposed by law. To do so would constitute an unlawful delegation of the legislative power vested in the board to deny a permit because it would not consider the use specified in the ordinance as conditional use according to the purpose and intent of the state or county involved, he said- Delta Mining Company had been operating in the area since February, 1974. In March, 1974, all strip mining operators were notified by the zoning board that permits were needed to continue mining operations. Prior to March, 1974, the board had not concerned itself with stripping operations.

i Violation Laution Although high humidity (s keeping forest fire potential down, caution is recommended by Harland Upole, forestry supervisor with the Department of Natural Resources, at Nave's Crossroads. Mr. Upole recommends that individuals planning campfires clear the fire area to the mineral soil to lessen chances of igniting surrounding areas Smokers also are urged to use care while in wooded areas Since July 2 nothing of con- sequence in forest fires has been reported, Mr Upole said On that date? seven railroad fires were reported.

Union Picketing Robel Company The Robel Company of Johnstown, which has the contract to build the new U.S. Postal Sectional Center here, is being picketed by the Operating Engineers union. Russell Jeffries, business agent for the union, said the Robel firm refused to sign a union contract for the work.

A bulldozer was being used in clearing work on the site of the new postal facility on the tract formerly occupied by the Queen City Station. The deadline for filing ap- plications for real property tax credit under the "Circuit Breaker" law for the taxable year 1975-76 has been extended until October to J. Brooke Fradiska, super- visor of Assessments and Taxation for Allegany County. Over 4,000 applications have been -received -so far, Mr. Fradiska said, and of the forms processed, 3,200 homeowners have been declared eligible for credit either by complying with regulations of either the "Circuit Breaker" law or the "Hold Harmless" law, per- taining to credit received for the taxable year 1974-75.

Those homeowners who have received letters of denial will be given a reason why their ap- plications were disapproved, he noted. Mr. Eradiska said the reason most were denied is because tht combined household income exceeded the real property" tax obligation. A homeowner may wish to challenge the denial and may have a hearing before the supervisor of assessments at which time he may present any appropriated evidence. The homeowner may also appeal the final decision of the supervisor within 30 days to the Property Tax Appeal Board for Allegany County, he said.

Homeowners who have submitted applications should realize they have 30 days from the date shown on the maximum tax liability cer- tificate or letter of denial to pay their own taxes in order to get the five per cent county discount, Mr. Fradiska said. for campfires on State Forest lands, the forestry supervisor indicated, however, the permit is not required on private land. Debris burning also requires a permit from the Health Department. Plans are being made to replace the sign, which depicts fire potential classifications at the City limits in the Narrows, with a more practical display, Mr.

Upole added. Meanwhile, Tim Thomas, local observer for the National Weather Service, said hot, humid, hazy conditions are to i tomorrow with only a. 10 per cent chance of precipitation during the period. Yesterday's high was 90 for ihe third-straight day and that figure is expected to be reached again today. Overnight low was 65.

A Maryland Avenue resident was the alleged victim of fraud yesterday when he paid $238 to a man who reportedly indicated he'would seal blacktop at the man's home. Police records indicate a subject had advised the city man that for $2.50 he would seal his blacktop. When the house owner agreed to the price, it was reported the subject, another man and a youth, sprayed a coating on the sidewalk then demanded the $238, When the landowner protested, police records reveal, he was told by the subject that the $2.50 was the cost of the sealer per gallon.

It was reported not more than two or three gallons of sealer could have been used on the job. The trio was reported traveling in a yellow pickup. Two of the men were described as being in the 45-to-50 age bracket, while the other subject allegedly involved in the in- cident was about 14-years-old.

Kenneth DeSales Wilson, operator of Wheeler's Tavern on State Route 936, one mile north of Midland, was fined $400, plus $10 courts costs today by Judge Miller Bowen of District Court after he was found guilty of violating liquor laws and also of keeping tip- boards on the premises. On the gaming violation, the court ordered a pre-sentence investigation. A a i i Winebrenner's Tavern in Klondike for similar violations, has been continued, and a third case involving Tuuly's Tavern in i was i presented to the court this morning.

Charges against Wilson resulted from an investigation made June 28 by Cpl. T. G. Lindner and Tpr. D.

C. Maiers of the State Police. Wilson's attorney, Robert S. Paye, entered a motion to suppress evidence on the grounds that items confiscated, were found in the living quar- ters of Wheeler Shaw, owner of building, and were not 'connected in any fashion with operation of the tavern. Judge denied the motion.

Mr. Shaw, an uncle to the defendant, told the court that the liquor in the room belonged to members of the Maryland Sportman's Club, of which he is a member. He added that on June 22 a number of the members had held a party on grounds behind the place where he lives and the liquor was left in the room, along with beer and the potato chips. Mr. Shaw -also said he was leasing the tavern to the defendant and that the room was not considered part of the business area.

He added that the liquor, potato chips and tipboards were left in his keeping by the club were not Wilson's. Both Wilson and Shaw told the court that the door separating the tavern from the living quarters normally is closed and locked, but on June 28 the door was apparently opened by Mr. Shaw's niece, who was tending bar and was going to stay there. Wilson pleaded not guilty to charges, and after Judge Bowen had denied motions to suppress evidence and charges the defendant took the stand in his own behalf. The defendant said he and his wife were visiting with friends that night and after leaving them they bought a couple of chicken dinners and went home.

i i a i anything to do with the liquor and tipboards and said that although he has'a key to the rootn he would use it only in an emergency. The only other person to testify in the case was the treasurer of the club, who said both the liquor and tipboards were brought to Mr. Shaw's residence for a party. The state's case was presented by Michael Burkey, deputy state's attorney. ARNOLD Mrs.
