MT. LAKE PARK

Ihere is palm IN GlIeaQ! OrQlnafl-
ly there is just little bit of envy on
the part of those who are compelled
to spend the winter in the mountains
when others more fortunate are trek
king to the usually sunny chimes of
Florida or California. But, it is differ
ent this year. -,
While Los Angeles has experienced
for the first time in fifty years, a fall
of several inches of snow, there has
not been enough in this section to
make good-sized SNOWFALL. ,.
Which reminds US. that the Council
of the Park had a letter recently from
Mayor Clayton enclosing a check for
substantial amount to be used for
the worthy poor of the community,
in which he said also that he would
be glad to get back to the sunshine
of Garrett county. Well, the feeling
is mutual--we will be glad to see him
and his good wife. ".a.

The depression which, according to
the papers, seems to be more or. less
severe over the entire world, is not be-
ing felt in this immediate community
as in most other places. There is still
some improvement activity.
The Leighton planning mill in the
Weeks and Weeks building in Loeb
Lynn, is still running on good time.
Mrs. E. L. Winchell is having an
addition built to her cottage on Cozy
Row which will add much to her now
charming residence.
"Shorty" McClelland is improving
the residence recently bought by him
on the same street, and Mr.. M. L..
Calhoun is erecting a residence on an
extension of Arbutus Drive, near the
State road.
Charlie Martin and Joe Calls are
busy cutting timber short distance
from Loeb Lynn, at the foot of the
Little Mountain.
While these activities are not large
still they help out in this period of
unemployment.
Many people are taking advantage
of this unusual weather to rake and
burn the leaves remaining on their
properties. Fires may be seen in diff
ferent sections of the Park. Those
who have not yet done their spring
cleaning might take the hint.
The delphinium, the bee balm and
other plants are breaking through the
surface of the earth. An occasional
dandelion is found in a sheltered spot,
and the buds of some of the shrubs
have a late April appearance. Even
Nature seems determined to show us
mortals how insignificant we are.
Lloyd Cook, who runs the barber
shop in Loeb Lynn is doing his bit. A
large sign in his front window an
nounces that free hair cuts will be
given to all who apply today (Wednes-
day., and is he busy? Those who have
had to wear their hair done up in curl
papers, lacking the necessary two
bits, can now appear as city slickers
And we are just honing to go fish
ing.
And that just reminds us that we
have just finished reading book
entitled, "Let's Go Fishing, by Dr.
Charles Reitel, Mr.. J. E. Harmed hav-
ing loaned US his presentation copy.
It is one of the most interesting and
delightful books it has been our pleas
ure to read. Even if you don't like to
fish, you will like the book.
The special meetings at the U. B.
church continue. Rev. Williams, U. B.
pastor at Terra Alta, will preach two
evenings this week.
Rev. Blakeley, M. E. minister, is
quite ill. Rev. Middaugh and DR.. A.
Moore are supplying the pulpit while
the regular pastor is incapacitated.
Mr.. Richard Ream butchered hog
last week weighing 600 pounds
dressed. This is record for this
year, we believe.
Philo T. Lipscomb, Charles Baker
and Ben Shaffer, Jr., motored on We'd
nesday to attend the Harrisburg pa.
State fair. t.,.'.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred. C. Fleming and
Mr.. and Mrs. Curtis B. Fleming, OF
