Summer Programs at Park
Pomona Grange meeting was held
at Sunnyside Grange hall on March
8. John Carter, county agent of Gar
rett county, presided at the open
meeting which followed. Rev. Walter
B. Brock, pastor of the Garrett Me-
mortal Presbyterian church, gave an
address on George Washington, the
Farmer" Miss Sara B. Huff lead the
community singing using song slides.
The enthusiastic singing was an indi-
cation of what we may expect on a
much larger scale when thousands
gather for the Sunday afternoon pro-
grams of Mountain Lake Institute
this coming summer. The Punch and
Judy quartet from Loeb Lynn was
present and rendered number of
selections. The "Corn Dodgers" string
quartet also gave several numbers.
AS the meeting came to close with
each community represented, looking
forward to the opportunity for a
similar community sing in their own
neighborhood, it was the common con-
viction that the program of Mountain
Lake Institute will fill long felt
need in the rural, social and recrea-
tional life, according to I. S. Mid
daugh, director.
