A TRIUMPH FOR COUNTY

In the face of attempts to cut off
entirely the health program in the
county by a number of citizens who
could see no advantages to the work,
it has been made possible to continue
both of the health nurses and in ad-
dition the appointment of full-ime
health officer and the Inauguration of
a full-time program, such as are car
ried, out in fifteen other counties of
the State.
This is triumph for Garrett coun-
ty. To have stopped organized health
work in the county just when it had
gained foothold would have been
suicide to the whole program and I'm
healthy for the progress of Garrett
county.
But in adopting full-time health
program the county moves forward,
the direction in which everybody
should be headed.

Loeb Lynn would favor giving up its
Mayor and Council, and letting own
ers of these convention buildings run
the town for them. They could see
no plausible reason why this should be
done any more than we citizens of the
Park can understand why the Foreign
and Home Mission, who only own
$4,000. of assessed property in the
Park out of total of more than
S5OO,OOO, should think they are en-
titled to run our Park for US. Do
thew think we are bunch of illiterate
Mountaineers and not capable to run
our own town?
By propaganda that is being spread
they must think we are a crowd OF
feeble minded people. Let's incor-
porate the Park, and let the citizens
and property owners elect their own
people to run it.
If the Foreign and Home Mission
wants to take exception to this, and
sell out, or abandon their holdings,
let them do it; but in doing the lat
ter, they certainly would not show
that they were acting thru any
Christian spirit. It would show anger
and selfshness on their part, and
more the promptings of the devil than
of God. And they call this Park
Sacred Ground. With all the propa-
ganda, SANDER and falsehoods being
told to gain a selfish purpose. Won
der what God must be thinking OF his
people. Is it any wonder the Park
doesn't succeed.

A SPRING TONIC

Last week the head of McDonough
school, of near Baltimore, was in Gar
rett county looking over sites for his
proposed school. Should he decide to
locate in the county, near Deep Creek
or not, the advantages of such step
are well worth imagining.
Add one thousand boys to the popu-
lation of Oakland, and the parents of
many of them who would spend lot
of time here, and the effect would be
miraculous.
The erection of school in this vi
cinity may not be panacea for all
ills, but it would be to business of the
community what spring tonic is to
the human system.

Affairs of Mountain Lake Park and
the Contenders for Incorporation

the Contenders for Incorporation
To the Editor of The Republican:
Ishave lived practically all my life
in Mt. Lake Park and own property
here. Being a carpenter, l have
worked on nearly every cottage in the
place. 1 have watched properties de-
cay and go to ruin, all because own
ers felt that even if they were kept
UP, and repaired, they could not find
a renter or buyer. There are two
such houses in my neighborhood now,
eand many more scattered throughout
the Park.
The Park has been running down
for the past ten years or more; for
we people who live here, and own
property and pay taxes, feel that we
have but little say in the governing OF
the town in which we live. The Asso-
citation or Foreign and Home Mission,
have the controlling power IN regu-
Ilating and controlling the place. The
citizens, over 200, who live here the
year around, can't work in harmony
with the Association under present
conditions. They feel they are en-
titled to Municipal form of govern
ment.
And in voting for this, they are vot-
ing for their rights. There, is no valid
reason why the Foreign and Home
Mission can't operate its hotels and
public buildings under an Incorporated
town, as we'll as under the present
management in which they have con-
troll. The threats that if the place is
Incorporated, they would sell out
Suppose they did, whoever the pur-
chaser might be, would work to build
up the property and make it valuable
by renting it to various conventions
that would come here.
Then another tale is, that they
might abandon all their property and
let it go to rack and ruin. Of course
they could do this, but would it be
acting like Christians towards the
poor people at this place, who bor-
rowed money to help pay off the mort
gage debt of $4,000, before the For
eign and Home Mission, would accept
the Park as gift. If they don't want
their holdings in an incorporated
town, then why not sell out to the
Camp Meeting Association, or to some
other religious order, who don't mine
being located in an incorporated
town. Loeb Lynn has two churches
and we never hear word that they
object to being in an incorporated
town. And if it had the buildings
suitable for Conventions, Camp Meet
ing, etc., I am sure they would hole
out a true Christian invitation fol
them to come, and would show then
every courtesy. But 1 don't believe
