MT. LAKE PARK
Summer Home Again Entered

IA1ACO WCCh01 AOAAeAA 20 NObSe$5SS
located just below the Allegheny
House and opposite Romney Cottage,
has been entered by thieves and
quantity of household effects taken
and carried away. On both occasions
entrance was effected by forcing
window on the lower porch. A bent
iron poker is evidence of the means
taken to force the lock of a trunk,
from which a number of articles were
removed, the other contents being
scattered on the floor. All the beds
were stripped of coverings, including
sheets and blankets, and other bed
clothing was removed from cot on
which they had been stacked.
There has been a good deal of night
prowling in certain sections of the
Park, and while for a time it was at
tributed to boys out on lark, the
facts that several unoccupied houses
have been entered now leads to the
suspicion that other dwellings have
been marked down for attention.
The Park is very hard to effectively
police by one officer and parties with
the intent to break and enter, and
keep him pretty well located, and
while he is in one section Of the Park
and at distance from where the dep
relations are being committed, the
thieving goes on. A few more charges
of bird-shot might be deterrent.
A New Order-One Member
Word has come to the writer that
Bob Moomaw has instituted new
order with but one member to date,
the chief ceremony of which calls for
plunge in the lake in mid-winter.
1t is reliably reported that while Bob
was testing the ice recently it did not
prove as strong as he had anticipted
with the result that he suddenly re-
ceived an icy bath. And was it cold?
Spring, Officially, Is Here
Spring, officially, is here, but as
we write this item on Tuesday, there
are snow furries sweeping across the
glade and it looks as though the rob-
ms have sung their last morning song
for a few days. We hope we are
wrong in our prediction, but the out
look is not encouraging.
Since we wrote the above weather
report, the sun has decided to get us
in bad, with the result that we are
having a beautiful day. The noun
tain top is a pretty good place after
all and we should be especially thank
full that but few of our people are in
real distress in contrast with the trag-
ic condition in the Pittsburgh area
where radio reports indicate that I'M
less quick relief is forthcoming 15O,-
900 men, women and children will be-
gin to starve. A distressing condi-
ton in this enlightened land of plenty
short year ago.
Oakland Folk Attend Church
We doubt if there is another town
in the country that observes Holy
Week as religiously as does Oakland.
Each day finds the stores and other
places of business closed for noon
day church service. On Good Friday
business ceases for a longer period.
Whatever may be your religious be-
lief or church learnings, whether you
are a modernist or fundamentalist,
pause in your daily grind will stimu-
late you to renewed activity.
