The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1933-08-31
MT. LAKE PARK
Local Library

afternoon at bowling alley, the plan
was inaugurated and some 400
volumes were placed for use. Some
of the books were already the proper
ty of the club and many were donated.
1t is hoped that those interested will
go over their home stock of books
and select the more interesting and
readable that they feel like giving and
present them to the club. "Givea-
book" is a good slogan to keep in
mind.
1t is useless to be reminded that
when winter comes and the wind
bowls "a good book in a cOzy nook"
helps pass many dreary and drab
evening. Many have not accumulated
a library and even if they have, the
books have probably been read and re-
read until they are no longer interest
ing.
In glancing over the titles yester-
day we found volumes suited for all
ages. There are books of travel mys-
terry stories, books for children and
good novels for grown-ups. We can
well adopt the motto of New Mexico:
"Crescit Eundo''-"It grows as it
goes"
Just what plan will be adopted for
handling the books this winter has not
yet been worked out, but it is hoped
they can be placed with some suitable
person at a convenient location so
they will be available.
Junior Tennis
When the Western Maryland Junior
tennis tournament is played we know
it will not be long until we will have
to don our red fannels and ear mutfs.
But even with this dreary prospect
the tournament is fitting climax to
the summers activities. 1t is always
looked forward to by the tennis mind
ed with a great deal Of pleasure and
Zest. While we do not believe in in
reference or attempted management
Of the sport activities Of the younger
set by old has-beens, yet more inter
est in this Junior event by those in
terested in building up outdoors
sport activities would help lot. Ii
is really a very fine event.
The tournament started yesterday
and is now being played. Women's
and mems singles and doubles anC
mixed doubles are on the card, with
25 entrants-18 boys and girls.
Tabernacle Meeting
The Wheeling Gospel Tabernacle
meetings are now in progress at the
Park and will continue over next Sun
day. The desire to see and hear il
person broadcasting artists is lure
that draws many to the services
while many come for the spiritual up
lift. On Monday night of this weel
an audience estimated at approx
mately $500 filled the old auditorium
while hundreds of cars were parked
in double rows along the streets ad
joining it. With possibly one or two
exceptions, it was the largest audience
that has gathered here for some
years.
The meeting is in charge of Rev
Study, of England, assisted by thu
Lehmans and singers. Their meetings
in the Wheeling Tabernacle are broad
cast each morning, the snappy tim;
and pleasing cadence of the voices o
the singers attracting many listeners
Monday evening Junior" Lehman hat
charge of the meeting and the clos
attention and frequent 'amens" of tn
