ers and Guides to BaltimOreans
VISITORS SEEM PLEASED

Mail carriers who go for walks in
spare moments had nothing on street
car motormen, conductors and fami-

Five hundred and twenty-five of

Boosters club, came to Oakland Sun
day on a train-ride vacation and were
treated again by the citizens of Oak
land to a thirty-mile tour of the
Swallow Falls Forest and Deep Creek
Lake areas.
The excursion train consisting of
eight coaches, four diners and rec
reation car, arrived in Oakland around
1 o'clock, and the Baltimoreans were
welcomed by Mayor Lawrence M. Fra
ley and a number of townspeopIe.
Mickey's Band of Mountain Lake Park
and Loeb Lynn Heights furnished
music when the train arrived and the
guests were welcomed heartily by Of
ficials of the town.
The visitors were then invited to
occupy cars of the private citizens of
town and eight trucks donated by the
CCC camps of the county, along with
two buses. The route covered was
practically the same that other ex-
cursionists were taken over, including
the Swallow Falls and Muddy Creek
area, McComas Beach and sections
bordering on Deep Creek Lake, while
some Of the party returning earlier
than others were taken to Mountain
Lake Park and some other nearby
points.
A new recreation center at Swallow
Falls CCC camp was dedicated during
the afternoon and refreshments were
served to all visitors in the camp mess
hall. Citizens of Oakland and members
of the CCC company acted as guides
in conducting the eXXcursionists thru
forest trails and the bauty spots along
the lake.
Along on the trip were H. B. Potter,
vice-president and general manager Of
the Baltimore Transit Company; Geo.
E. Wolf, assistant superintendent Of
personnel, and John Cast, president of
the Booster Club. Baltimore and Ohio
officials included Ray Kureth and
Fred. G. Baugh. Camera men from
Baltimore newspapers also accom-
panied the party.
The weather was ideal for the trip
and excursionists saw the beauties of
this community in their gay autumn
colors.
This is the third time that Oakland
citizens have entertained excursion
lists from Baltimore and Washington.
Baltimore and Ohio officials stated
that Oakland was unique in this re-
spect, being the only place where peo-
pie offer the use of their cars and do
nate their time as drivers and guides
to eXcursionists.
