MT. LAKE PARK

In these depressing times it takes
some nerve to start even a small new
enterprise. We, therefore, were sur
prised and somewhat mystified to hear
the buzz and hum of what we first
thought was a passing plane. Upon
investigation we found that Mr.. H.
V. Leighton had installed one unit of
a planning mill in part of the Weeks
and Weeks warehouse in Loeb Lynn
Heights. Mr.. Leighton can turn out
molding, flooring and siding. The mill
is going at full blast and its noise
and hum is music to the ear. A few
enterprising men over the county can
start the ball rolling up hill.
Many members of the famous-or
should we say "in"-Ananias Club
have taken to the mountains after
deer. We have no doubt that Thomp
Lipscomb, Ben Harvey, the Sweitzers,
Wiley yelling, Lester Yutzy, Fred
Fleming and Jim Painter will have a
waterproof alibi for not bringing
home the venison. The committee on
truth and veracity will carefully
check all reports. ... s.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcclellan Clayton
are having a delightful time in Cali
fornia, according to letters received
by friends in the Park. Well, so far
as weather is concerned, California
doesn't have thing on Garrett coun-
ty-that is, to the present date.

Japan and California there already
exist such codes. based On the
proved plan that all structures
must be erected OF elastic material
which will give but will not snap.
1t has been found, he says, that
rigid materials, like concrete. are
not suited for building IN earth

ter may fall and walls may crack.

would encourage engineers and
scientists 10 study All phases OF

would be a good idea, for az pres
