Mountain Lake Institute News
Garrett county people are especially
invited to attend the programs of the
annual Farm and Home Week held at
the College of Agriculture at Nor
gantown January 80 to February s..
1t will be of interest to know that
Miss Sara B. Huff, in charge of music
at Mountain Lake Institute, will be
in charge of the musical programs
which will make up a large part of
the weeks activities.
On Monday night there will be a
Seth Parker program and those who
hold fond memories of the old sing
ing schools will find this of interest.
On Thursday evening will be the an
nual dinner at the hotel, at which time
Miss Huff has arranged with her
Scotch kilties to be present and give
their Scotch dances and the music of
the bag pipes.
A special invitation is extended to
the octogenarians and Miss Huff is
very anxious that all her eighty year
old friends who can attend should
send in their names to Mountain Lake
Institute at once.
1t is hoped that large number of
the friends of Mountain Lake Institute
will attend and participate in these
very interesting programs as well as
the lectures and demonstrations which
will be held at other hours each day.
In the Near Future They Will Come
The sunny skies and hazy mornings
remind US that it won't be many
moons until many of our friends and
neighbors will be coming hence from
thither. There will be the Cars, Mrs.
Busselle, Miss Finnell, Mrs. Hutch
inson, Jack Grimes and William
| Grimes and their families, Fred. Flem-
ing, Mac Clayton, Mrs. Frank Morgan
and many other lovers of the Park
whom we are always glad to welcome
home.
Petty Thieving in the Park
We have been criticized for giving
publicity to the petty thieving about
the Park this winter. Well, of course
there is generally difference of
opinion as to the best method to be
pursued in such matters. But we
seemed to be quiescent and apparent
! ly looked on the breaking and enter
ing of vacant houses as just a sign
of the times in which we are now
| hy-ioo p,,+ +hie iS nt a,oI fhic
is not the only community in which
petty crime seems to be on the in
crease. But few towns have escaped.
! We have no excuse to offer or apollo
gies to make for reporting news items
of this kind. Unless the citizens are
reminded that it is their duty to re-
port all suspicious characters and cir
cumstances to the proper authorities,
that class who are simply taking ad-
vantage of hard times and using the
depression as an excuse for stealing,
will come to believe that neither the
authorities nor the citizens give a
hang what they do.
Since our last column was printed
the stable of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Os-
well was entered and two trunks rifed
and what contents were not taken
were scattered about the place and
uncomfortable indecencies committed.
We understand the Mountain Lake
Hotel was also entered, but we are not
advised whether anything of value
was taken therefrom.
While the Park is difficult place to
police, yet we predict the guilty will
be soon apprehended.
Church Half Century Anniversary
The program for the golden ami
versary of Methodism in Mountain
Lake Park appears at the head of this
column. We were disappointed in not
being able to present a history of the
founding of the church this week.
Charles Harvey was too foxy to
give US a preview of the manuscript
for the reason that he believed that if
the readers saw it here one of the in
centives for attending the celebra-
ton would be lacking. So we will have
to be contented with presenting it
