MANY GET RECOGNITION

Winners in the annual yard and gar
den contest and cut flower exhibit
were announced and prizes awarded
at a public meeting held in the Oak
land High School auditorium Monday
evening.
Joseph E. Harmed, Oakland, was the
principal speaker, giving an illus
trated lecture on the wild flowers of
this section. Musical numbers included
a piano solo by Mrs. W. A. Hohlweig,
Mountain Lake Park; humorous read
ings by Mrs. William R. Dennis, and
vocal selections by Mrs. Russell
Brown.
Announcement of winners and the
awarding of prizes were made by
Mayor Grover c. Stemple.
In the yard and garden contest first
prizes were spruce trees; second
prizes, bulbs, and third prizes were
garden tool sets. These were presented
by the Oakland Civic Club, under
whose auspices the contests were held.
Twenty-four persons won prizes in
this division. Approximately 200 were
entered.
Thirty-fve persons won various
prizes in the cut flower exhibit. These
prizes were made possible through
contributions of citizens of Oakland
and vicinity.
This was the fourth annual contest
for yards and gardens and the sec
ond annual for the cut flower exhibit.
Both have been of much interest and it
is the consensus of opinion that they
have been invaluable in making the
citizens more conscious of the beau
ties of nature and in identifying the
town.
