MT. LAKE PARK

published by the CCC Co-2366, Swan
ton. There are Al pages of interesting
material and each and every article
was written by SOME member of the
camp. We are told that the magazine
is made possible through the adver-
Using. This consiStS''of advertisements
from Oakland, Westernport, and Cum
berland merchants! All sketches made
for the magazine are pen and ink pro-
auctions done by camp artists, and
they are good. The members of the
camp are very proud of this, their first
attempt, and justly'so, for tbs one of
the best we have seeh.
1t is good to note that since the
mild weather and the thaw has arrived
numbers of WPA workers are, out re-
pairing crossings and streets. There
is much that can be done along this
line, and we hope every street i'm the
Park that needs ateentionawill get it,
Some weeks ago we mentioned the
Mountain Lake Park; SCHOOL house and
what we thought should be done to-
ward the betterndeht-' of the school.
Since that time VIZ have had a num-
Der of people ask why WE did not keep
on writing upon the subject. We told
them that we had felt I'VE were not
getting anywhere, SO dropped it. We
have not changed our mind! However,
we still think that it is crime to
have a school in such a mud hole, and
we still think that the children of the
Park deserve better. So far as we are
able to learn this school did not lose
day during the past hard winter and
the principal, Miss Emma Hamill, did
not miss day the entire term, which
after all was quite record. The at
tendance was good and work went on
regardless of weather conditions. How
many schools can show that? Person
ally we think of not greater civic
achievement or better recommends
ton ais place to live than for Noun
tain Lake Park to have good school
building with good equipment and a
decent playground for the children.
