The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1938-07-14
VT. LAKE PARK

The most important topic of CONVEX
sation in the Park just now is "Who
has bought the Park ?" OF "Has it been
sold?" brought about more definitely
by the front page article in last
Thursdays Republican.
In answer to these queries we say
that to date, no one. Things remain as
they were. The report that the Oxford
Group would take it over was a posi-
bility, but is no more.
A petition was circulated several
days ago with a plan for the financing
the purchase Of the Park. This is now
held up pending a meeting of the off
Gals of the town.
However, just to ease the minds of
many people let US say that you aren't
going to be "sold down the river"
Plans are being made by all inter
ested whereby the Park will be taken
care of in manner worthy Of such a
splendid place. Just now it's a case Of
watchful waiting.
Any how we still want to know
where that blooming Civic Club foun-
tain went to and how.
The Mountain Choir Festival, begin
ming here on Friday, bids fair to bring

morning with men getting the amphi-
theatre in readiness. He has been
tireless in his efforts to make this a
success and we feel sure he has sue
ceeded.
