MT. LAKE PARK

We were all popped up about tn
spring, "the beautiful spring" Bird
were singing and all. that sort Of thing
you know. This was on a Friday. Sat
urday morning we awakened to ont
of the deepest SHOWS we have seen
Wind was blowing a perfect gale. W.
walked block to catch a car to Oak
land (not a street car, however). The
car came along alright, but before il
reached US it struck a bad culvert
The result was we had tobe shoveleC
out and we were late to work. Any
how it can't last much longer.
We apologize for having no column
last week, but the truth Of the matter
is we were trying to move. Moving is
no fun at the best and we were at the
worst. Weather prevented plumbers
from doing the work necessary at the
house we were going into. !!
Truth to tell, it. does not look much
better now. One thing we do know
and that is that when your landlord
decides thay must have the house and
you get due notice you might as well
hunt tent if you can't find house,
