MT. LAKE PARK

We feel that we owe our readers an
explanation as to just why we did not
write up an article referring to that
specially built desk for Miss Carrie
Lyon, of Elk Garden, who is shut
in. Naturally we knew about it and
like everyone else we were enthusiast
tic, for it was an amazing. device. But
our good friend, DR.. w, B. Love, who
shuns all publicity asked us not to
mention it, so we did not. What was
our amazement when our attention
was directed to an article descriptive
of the desk appearing in another local
paper last week and found a front
page story, and splendid write-up it
was. We are told that, the writer is a
student of Journalism in the South. 1t
seems that he picked up; the story
here and there and SO it was written.
There was but one objection that we
could see, namely, he failed to men
ton the name of H.. E. Hennen, of
Panama, who did some splendid work
on this job and who was responsible
for the other workers getting over
some rough spots. 49,
We are told that very soon there
will be specially designed type of
bed built for Miss Lyon. Just how and
what we do not know as yet.
Since writing the. above we have
been "quizzed" as to the author of the
article mentioned and while we haven't
asked his permission we will tell you
it was from the pen of young Frank
Rathbun, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Ruthbun, former residents of the Park.
Gas Being Stolen From Cars
Loeb Lynn is experiencing a short
age OF gas-not Cumberland and Allie
gheny gas-but the sort you must
have to run car. On Friday night
Floyd Whites car was drained. This
rs only one of many. =. So far there
seems to be no clue as to the vandals.
All Club Meets
An interesting meeting was held
on August II in the Ladies' Aid Hall
by the Loeb Lynn Jolly Junior All
club. ., l,..
The president, Dorothy Kesner, pre-
sided, and Frances Hogue assisted
as song leader led the girls in the
All friendship song. Miss Sue SWEET
yer read report on her recent trip to
New York and Miss Kesner gave re-
port of her trip to College Park. The
meeting closed with games. The next
meeting will be held on August 81,
when Miss Barton will: be present.
Loeb Lynn can well be pround of this
group of young people. They are max
ing good citizens in their community
and should have the cooperation of all.
Citizens Mass Meeting
An enthusiastic meeting of the Park
residents was held in the. old audi
forum on Monday night at which
time a permanent organization was
effected for the purpose of identifying
the Park. A. T. White was named as
chairman; Mrs. W. B. Love as sec
rotary, and Mrs. Gregory BleakIy,
treasurer. A finance committee and an
executive committee were elected, the
latter to have the final word on all
matters. A representative group of
citizens was present. In addition to
the above committees a number of
other committees were named.
The movement seems to-. have met
with the approval of all Park citizens.
