The Republican., 1930-04-10
MT. LAKE PARK

We desire to take this medium to
announce to Jim Painter, Druggist
Dawson and any other interested
Izaak Waltons in Oakland and else
where, that we do no more fishing
until it quits showing and the sun
shines. President Hoover and the
writer went the other day and the
latter has been laid up with laryngi-
tbs ever since. We like fishing but
by the eternal we don't like laryn-
gifts. ,.n:
We now hear that the road leading
from Loeb Lynn to Gormania through
the Ryan's Glade section is going to
be started this spring, all rights of
way having been secured. You know
it's lucky for the Mt. Lake correspon-
dent that we hear one thing and then
another. These various rumors help
fill up what would otherwise be de-
pleted column, for with the late BIZ
zard and an ill-advised fishing trip,
news items of interest are scarce and
hard to dig up. But getting back to
the road proposition, if it starts at
as many points in Loeb Lynn, and
goes in as many different directions,
as the different rumors seem to indi-
cate, it will require the assistance of
a cross-eyed driver and bow-legged
mechanic to negotiate the trail. How
ever, we are willing to concede that
the County Commissioners know their
onions and are willing to leave the
matter entirely up to them, just so
the road is started this spring in
order that the rather serious unem-
ployment situation may be relieved.
But it seems that the building of this
section of road is much needed i'm
provement and a patriotic duty.
We might wait until the next issue
to call attention to the help-yourself
chicken dinner that is going to be held
at the Park M. E. church on the even
ing of April %. That will be Wednes-
day. But we are afraid we will over
look the item, therefore, in order that
you may not miss a good thing
dinner at so cents-chicken, soup and
all the trimmin's, we mention it now.
Better arrange for this and you can
thank US afterwards.
