MT. LAKE PARK

The thermometer the past four or
five days stood at about-but why
bring that up? At that it was cooler
here than in most places.
1t seems just little bit out of the
way to suggest improvements when
we know the community is spending
about all it can afford. But even so,
II has been suggested that it would be
a good move to change the sewer line
SO as to have the terminal below the
residential part of the Park. -Espec-
tally would the Improvement be ap-
preciated during periods of hot, dry
weather, when the water supply gets
low as at present.
The first unit of the Mountain Lake
Gormania road will soon be completed.
Concrete is being poured.
The National Lords Day Alliance,
with addresses by DR.. David G. Wylie,
president, and DIR. w. w. Davis, gen.

concert in the afternoon.
One of the very noticeable improve
rnents in Loeb Lynn, is the remodeling
and repainting of the Pennsylvania
House by Mr.. H. V. Leighton. Lo-
Gated as it is in commanding posi-
ton on the heights above the village,
its fresh bright appearance blends
well with the natural beauty of the
surroundings.
Monday ushered in the fifteenth an
nual Epworth League Institute,
Baltimore Conference. 1t is very well
attended, the registration today WED
nesday) being around 800, with more
coming in Thursday. The registration
last year was 1926, exclusive of "week-
enders'. By Friday the number will
probably approximate $50. These
League Conferences bring to the Park
high class, earnest young men and
women, whose presence is appreciated
1t is. sincerely hoped that the plan
recently discussed looking to the adj
vertising advantages of Mt. Lake
Park will not be allowed to die or even
lag. If the plans do materialize, the
booklet will supplement the one issued
and very widely distributed by the Ro-
fary Club of Oakland, which has put
in the mails 5000 of the very interest
ing and instructive publication, with
10000 on the press.
The Bazaar of the Womans' Civic
Club of the Park held yesterday in the
Tennis Club house was very delight
ful and successful affair, we'll patron
ICED.
Monday, July %, continuing until
August 7, we will have the summer
school of Ministerial Training, Pitts
burgh Area, for it's 9th annual meet
ing. This will be followed by the Sum-
rner School of Missions, August 3-8
This season has seen the return OF
many old friends of the Park, whose
enjoyment consists in contemplating
the old, but ever new, naturel beauties
with which an All Wise Providence
has endowed this strip of Western
Maryland. To mention them all would
be impossible. We therefore restrain
natural impulse to note the presence
of those whom we recall at the pres
ent moment, and content ourselves by
saying that they are thrice welcome
May the restful quietude of our noun
fain-top strengthen them physically
and spiritually so they may return tc
us for many seasons yet to come.
