MT. LAKE PARK

The Park never looked more beauti-
full than it does at the present. The
abundant rainfall has carpeted the
whole area with a luxurious growth
of grass, the naples are in full leaf,
the oaks are beginning to show their
colors, the early flowers are in bloom.
1t is at this time of year one forgets
the rather tedious dreariness of the
winter months.
The coming referendum election on
the new charter, like the weather, is
getting some hot. ia.q0f '-'-
AS a reminder that there was
mighty growth of timber in this sec
ton, joists, some of them 81 feet in
length, solid, well preserved and un-
spliced, are being removed from old
Briarbend Seminary The timbers
being salvaged are welE!preserved and
apparently as good as the day they
were placed in the building..W do not
have the exact date of its erection,
but the Seminary must. have been
built more than forty years ago. We
understand much of the material will
be used in the erection of q club house
and cottages on Deep Creek Lake.
The Park wishes to,extend congrat-
ulations to John (Buddy) Morgan,
son of Mr. and Mrs. John o. Morgan,
and to Kermit Jessee,! ,!son0 of Rev. and
Mrs. S. A. Jessee, in winning their
events at the field meet in s Oakland.
Buddy had the honor4Sf <beingron the
winning 440-yard relay race team
and tying the record for baseball dis
tance throwing, while young Jessee
broke the record in the hop, step and
jump (95-tb. class) event, and was
likewise on the team winning the 440
yard relay. Both of these boys won
some medals and will join the win
ners in the other counties on trip
to Baltimore, all expenses being paid.
1t is a we'll known trait Of birds
to revel in good dust bath. But
lady of our acquaintance is advocat-
ing a training school for birds to
teach, them the improperly of using
for that purpose porch flower boxes
in which she recently planted some
seeds. 1t is a question whether the
seeds will sprout in the boxes or in
the ground beneath.
The Kimmell cottage, was damaged
to quite an extent one night last week.
The lower laps of weather boarding
were broken off for a distance of per-
haps ten feet. lis thought by some
that large dog did the damage in
its. efforts to get at nest of squir-
rels. Others believe that the dog (if
dog it was) had the assistance Of it's
master. .-. .....
On the main stem of Loeb Lynn the
cement sidewalk leading from the
Weeks to the Harvey-Ream corner
has been top dressed, raising the sur
face of the walk some two or three
inches, thus getting rid of a sloppy,
icy condition in the winter and much
improving the surroundings.
