18-1 he Cumberland News. Wednesday, October Higher Dam Could Double Safe Yield The present reservoir of the City of Frostburg on Piney Creek has a safe yield of 770,000 gallons per day but raising the level of the present dam by eight feet would more than double the safe yield. That was one of three basic conclusions made by i a a Deputy Sheriff Is Slain FRANKLIN, W.Va. (UPI) A murder charge was lodged Tuesday against Glenville J. Lamb in the fatal shooting of a deputy sheriff in what authorities described as a hunting dispute.

Lamb, 64, Elkins, was released from the Pendleton County Jail on a $10,000 bond. He was charged in the death of Marion County Deputy Sheriff Laurence D. Thompson, 43, a resident of the Norway community. State Police Cpl. A.

F. Humphreys said the argument apparently began when Thompson's hunting companion wandered onto private property as the two hunte'd in the national forest at Smith Mountain, near the Mouth of Seneca. The property owner, accompanied by two guest hunters, told Thompson's companion, Robert Day, that he was on private land and asked him to leave, police said. "According to witnesses, Mr. thompson emerged from the forest and a discussion followed," Humphreys said.

hydrogeologists from State College, who last night submitted a 21-page report on their safe yield analysis to the Allegany County Water Commission. Thomas A. Earl and Edgar W. Meiser the a i hydrogeological firm, took turns in explaining their report to members of the water commission and other concerned citizens who a last i meeting in the county commissioner's meeting room. Although one of their conclusion discussed the advantage of enlarging the dam and reservoir, the hydrogeologists gave in- creased emphasis to a a i a ground water supplies for the water system be in- creased through one or more wells.

The recommendation read as follows: "An economic analysis of the costs of enlarging the Frostburg reservoir should be made to compare with the cost of developing a similarly-sized ground water source. Generally, surface-water supplies cost several to many times more than ground-water supplies cost several to many times more than ground-water supplies." The hydrogeologists reached a conclusion of 773,000 gallons as the safe yield based on the worst- year drought recorded in Frostburg in the 1953-54 year. The safe yield based on the worst three-year drought, 1963-66, was 857,000 gallons per day. Mayor David Linn of Frostburg, an interested spectator at last night's meeting, pointed out that the present consumption of the Frostburg a system, which serves about 11,000 persons in Frostburg and its environs, is about Thompson-struck Hubert 900,000 gallons per day. Last Armantrut, one of the guest i a residents kept their water running to keep water lines from freezing, the daily use reached 1,100,000 gallons.

The present Frostburg dam, which has been in use in eastern Garrett County more than 40 years, is about 15 feet high. The level was raised about two feet in the mid-1960s when flashboards were added. a i a hydrogeologists pointed out that the Frostburg reservoir impounds only 49 per cent of the 24.5 square mile area of i Firemen hunters, and the other Lamb, tried to intervene, police said.

Presently, the elevation of the reservoir pool is 2,352 feet above sea level. On one table in their report Messrs. Meiser and Earl projected the increased safe yield that could result from raising the level of the dam. By going up three feet to 2,355 feet above sea level, they project the safe yield at 3,079,000 gallons per day. Similarly, at 2360 feet the yield increased to 1,591,000, at 2365 the yield was forecast at 2,217,000 gallons, at 2370 the yield jumped to 3,146,000 gallons and at 2385 feet the yield would be 6,474,000 gallons per day.

The hydrogeologists' first conclusion, based on the figures from the table, was that expansion of the existing Frostburg reser- voir can significantly in- crease the safe yield.

Gov Jay Rockefeller, Adjutant Gen. Robert Childers and State Police Superintendent Harley Mooney were among the 500 persons jammed into the Zion Episcopal Church. There was no eulogy during the 20-minute funeral nor at the brief graveside service. Rev. Roger Hen- shaw mentioned Brown's name only once during the funeral, when he asked the Lord to "protect all law enforcement officers, such as Bruce Brown." Gov.

Rockefeller and Gen. Mooney sat less than five feet from. Brown's flag- draped casket and later accompanied the body to the cemetery. Brown left a widow and two children. He was assigned to the Parsons a a graduation from the state police academy last May.

More than two dozen members of his graduating class were among some 60 southern West Virginia troopers who arrived aboard an Air National Guard C-130 transport plane on a flight that began in Charleston and made a stop at Beckley. Brown's former clssmates remembered their friend as a warm, outgoing person who liked country music, especially singer Dolly Parton. "He was a real good man," said Trooper J.D. Brewster, who roomed with Brown at the academy. "He and his wife, Suzy, were real close.

Bruce went home almost every weekend during the six months he was at the academy." Brewster said he learned of the fatal shooting last Friday night while on duty at the Princeton state police detachment. "You have to accept these things as the hazards of the job," Brewster said. "You try not to think about it, but something like this reminds you that you always have to be as careful as possible." Authorities said Brown was shot as he and Cpl. Davisson were transferring Frederick D. Hamilton, a 19- year-old kidnaping suspect, from Randolph County Jail to the jail at Parsons.

Witnesses said Hamilton suddenly grabbed Cpl. Davisson's revolver. The gun discharged twice during the ensuing struggle with the first bullet hitting Davisson's metal belt buckle and the second striking Brown in the chest. Hamilton, of Greenfiled, Ohio, was then shot in the leg by Tucker County sheriff's deputy Earl Pine. Hamilton since has been charged with first-degree murder.

(Obituaries on page 9) A program which allows trained emergency workers in ambulances to transmit a patient's heartbeat by radio and telephone to Cum- berland's two hospitals has under the auspices of the Maryland Division of Emergency Medical Ser- vices Region 1 (Allegany and Garrett counties). With a three-year $185,252 grant, 82 ambulance at- tendants have been-trained as a i a technicians (CRTs). Dr. Gina M.

Click, a CRT in- structor, said: "This is a goal I've had for 10 years. It's my dream come true." Dr. Click said the almost total volunteer team of paramedics has been so eager that it has been a joy to work with them. The paramedics have to learn enough physical diagnosis and terms and to be able to describe to a doctor what the patient's condition is, she said. She said a patient, when experiencing chest pain, may delay calling for help, cutting down on the time needed to get medical care.

With the paramedics and the communications now available, she said, the patient has a much better chance for survival. In fatal heart attacks, death usually occurs within two hours after the attack. Dr. Glick stated that with trained CRTs, good com- munications monitoring devices, and drugs, most of the benefits of the hospital are brought to the patient's home. "The point is," said David P.

Ramsey, coordinator for EMS Region 1, "that when a patient has chest pains the CRTs can monitor the' heartbeat for the physicians and take directions from them to completely stabilize the patient before being transported." Mr. Ramsey pointed out that sometimes moving a patient too rapidly can worsen a heart condition. He said that, in effect, the paramedics become the eyes and the hands of the doctors. He added the CRTs were also trained to administer a i i a medication to patients at the doctor's direction. Dr.

Peter Halmos, chief cardiologist at Memorial Hospital, said the program is in its early stages, adding: "It is a great improvement over what we had before." Mrs. Ora, Mae Lewis, executive director of the American Heart Association Western Maryland Chapter, said the heart association was responsible for ob- taining a federal govern- ment grant to equip the hospitals and ambulances and train personnel. Funds came from the Department of Health, Education and. Welfare, through the' Appalachian Regional Commission. She said the rescue squads and hospitals provided the 20 per cent local share of the funding for the equipment.

Nine ambulances in the two counties are equipped with the LIFE-PAK 5 two each at Tri-Towns, LaVale and Northern Garrett and one each -at Frostburg, CARES, and Southern Garrett County. The LIFE-PAK 5 is a portable monitoring device. to transmit heart rhythms. All of the hospitals in the two counties are equipped to receive the transmissions, with Sacred Heart and Memorial a a in operation. Dr.

Fred W. Miltenberger, a local surgeon and president of Region 1 EMS Council, said the telemetry system is a very definite plus for the people. He said the system should save lives and the patient should feel comfortable with trained CRTs in attendance. Dr. Miltenberger asserted that the telemetry system is a quantum jump in delivery of health services, addfli that the system is a proven life saver.

Mr. Ramsey pointed out that heart disease is the biggest killer, and is responsible for 20 per cent of the health emergency calls in Allegany and Garrelt counties. Building Payment Man Faces Loans Approved Two Charges Of Assault A resolution authorizing the city to borrow $600,000 from three local banks to make the final payment on the new police and fire building was approved during yesterday's meeting of the Mayor, and City Council. The city will borrow $230,000 from the Liberty Trust Company of Maryland and the First National Bank and Trust -Company of Western Maryland, and $140,000 from the Cum- berland Savings Bank. John W.

Stotler, finance commissioner, said the loans are necessary because the earliest possible date for Two Charged With Forging Six Checks Criminal informations have been filed in Allegany County Circuit Court charging two 18-year-old residents of Ellerslie. with forging and uttering six checks with total value of $316.

The young defendants were charged with forging and uttering checks for $65, $47, $43, $56 and $45 between July 23 and July 25.

Besides the six counts of forgery and six counts of uttering the forged checks there was a 13th count in the information against Miss Rockwell charging her with petit larceny of 27 personal checks July 21, which belonged to Elva Jean Ammons. a bond sale is January 1978 and final payment on the building is due next month. In other business con- ducted yesterday, the council received a' list of recommendations from the Municipal Planning and Zoning Commission for the proposed renovation of City Hall and the public safety building. Recommendations on City Hall include having all of- fices that have contact with the public being on the first floor of the building; in- stallation of an elevator with the entrance at street level; either moving the council chambers to larger quarters on the south side of the building or modernizing the present chamber-by in- stalling a new sound system, carpeting, new seats, acoustical tile drapes, and improving the heating and air conditioning systems. The panel also urged improvement of the roof area by erecting a dome as called for in the original plans, but Mayor F.

Perry Smith Jr. questioned whether the dome would be worth the cost involved. In the public safety building, the commission suggested using the old jail for storage and-or-offices, using the garage as a (Continued on page 9) Weather FORECASTS Maryland Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers today.
