The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1932-07-28


Sunday, July 81, are as follows:
Church school, 10 a. M; morning
worship, II a. m. The sermon will
be delivered by Rev. Roy McCuskey,
D. D., president of Wesleyan college,
Buckhannon, w. Va.
There will be no evening service.
The lowest estimate placed five
thousand visitors at the Park on last
Sunday. Of that number at least
$500 were in The Bowl enjoying the
program. And how. did Miss Huff do
it? We mean, how in the name of
common sense did she radiate enough
enthusiasm to get that bunch of kid
dies together-a vested choir? Loeb
Lynn led the procession Of youngsters
to the platform, with Creditor Ford
and Jay Bell keeping time on the
snare and bass drums and Earl How
ard Sterling, Jr., as soloist.
The Queen Sylvia Band of ,Elkins,
rendered some delightful music. We
didn't catch the name of the 86-year
old soloist from Harrison county, w.
Va, but his singing was an interest
ing bareback to the old-timey inspira-
tional tunes.
There were many things that i'm
pressed us during the afternoon and
we certainly got. new slant on the
projected plans for this mountain top
from the interesting and more or less
personal reminiscent address of Nat
T. Frame, in which he partly covered
his 20-year experience in Extension
work in West Virginia.
After all there is something, intan-
gible but certain, in the mountain and
glade land that fascinates and grips
the visitor, especially after recurring
visits, as we'll as the permanent resi-
dent. ..:'
A case in point, concerns guest at
the Mrs. M. M. .Schrock cottage. We
are advised that Mrs. Schrock has
been operating boarding house for
the past thirty-iye years here at the
Park. Among the. very first guests
to be entertained was one who is here
again this year. So it has been every
year during the summer months since
William Mckinley was President of
Athe limited States.
We might mention many familiar
family names, the fathers and mothers
of whom now have children who think
the summer incomplete without few
weeks, or even months, spent among
the mountains. The urge to visit
with us may be dormant, but it can be
awakened.
We are not advised what printing
establishment is responsible for the
program of the. INSTRUMENTATION
Summer School of Missions, but it is
certainly an attractive folder, both
from a mechanical and artistic stand
point. ,..
And by the way the School is GER
tainly interdenominational. We find
the following churches represented:
Amish, Baptist, Lutheran, Episcopal,
Methodist Episcopal, Methodist Prot
estant, Methodist South, Congrega-
tional, Presbyterian, United Brethren
and Christian. The school will be in
session from July 80 to August S, in
elusive. ,..
Last Sunday a party who had moth
ing better to do just at the moment,
reports the following states were rep
resented on the Oakland Mountain
Lake Road, as shown by the auto
license plates: New York, Pennsyl-
vania, West Virginia, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, Ohio, District of Columbia, In
diana, Michigan, Florida, Oklahoma,
and Kentucky. That certainly is in
terstate, if it is not interdenomina-
tional. ..

The Thirteenth Annual Tennis
Tournament, Western Maryland cham
pionship, will be held August to 10.
This tournament is sactioned by the
United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton and is held under the auspices of
the Women's Civic Club of the Park.

Something should be done about
speeding automobiles on the State
road from the Braethoru corner to the
postofice. Monday truck gave the
passing signal to a roadster going in
the same direction: The driver of the
front car did not agree with the truck
driver and stepped on the gas and
shot out in front. When the two cars
passed the writer both apparently had
the gas throttle down to the floor
boards and were hitting around fifty
and there was not over two feet be-
tween the rear bumper Of one and the
front bumper of the other. There
were at least two other witnesses.
