MT. LAKE PARK
Annual Election Held Tuesday


tested in the election held Tuesday
owing to the fact that there were but
two candidates to fill that number
of vacancies in the council. The cleo
ton, therefore, was but formallty.
Only % votes were cast, the result
being that Jamie w. Elliott was re-
elected, succeeding himself, and Gay
w. HAYDEN chosen as members OF
Council. The Council as now consti-
tuted, is composed of Elliott, Cam
den, Hipsley, Schooley and Hayden.
The term of Mayor Utrerback does
not expire until next year.
Rowdyism Not In Evidence
There seems to be a total lack OF
rowdyism in the Park this summer.
We cannot help but believe this is ow-
ing to the kindly, but firm, admoni-
tions of Town Bailiff Silas Wiley,
who apparently commands the friend
ship as we'll as respect for his au-
thority of those who are prone to
overstep the mark. Of course, as has
been often said in this column, one
policeman cannot be expected to thor
oughly patrol the entire Park, but
he appears unexpectedly in uneX-
pected places at unexpected hours.
A Suggestion
1t is not within the province of this
column to criticize or even to make
suggestions to those in authority, but
owing to frequent discussion there is
one change we believe would be prof
liable and at the same time carry out
the plans of the State Conservation
Department, and that is to extend
the time for closing Deep Creek Lake
to fishermen. We personally know OF
number of men who contemplate a
late August and September visit to
this ! sort, but are hesitating because
of IT,, lack of fishing and other out
door Entertainment. Except for the
Brow trout and other varieties of fish
with ',hich the lake has been recently
stocked, there is nothing worthwhile
to be taken by rod except the rock
bass or tench, and the more of that
pest caught the better chance the
game varieties will have to develop.
But the novelty of the number OF
''goggleeyes" that can De taken in
limited time and the fact that it is
an incentive to spend day among
the beauties of the lake will attract
many. 1t would seem that September
18th, with proper restrictions on the
catching of game fish would be soon
enough to close the season.
Tennis Tournament
While the entries are about thirty
per cent under last year, yet there are
geodly number of players attending
the tennis tournament and interest is
keen among the contestants. The
gallery has been below the average,
but as large as could be expected dur
ing these trying times. However,
with the general trend of business
generally upward throughout the land
we may expect to soon join in sing
ing the popular song, Happy Days
Are Here Again"
