My friends came to me unsought
the great God gave them to me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson.

/ fnews is scarce, blame it on two
sickness and moving. Either
one of the two are bad enough, but
! both together are too much. Anyhow,
we must get into trouble to realize
just how kind people really are. And
once again we say, happy are those
who live in a small community, where
the gas man, the electrician, the
plumber, the carpenter, and last, but
not least, the neighbors, are interested
in just how we get settled. It's a
grand and glorious feeling to know
that people are interested, and so,
after a hectic week, we do not have
much news.
Summer homes are being closed
rapidly, but there are a great number
remaining. The saddest thought of all
is that the lights will soon be num-
bered. In other words, certain streets
will be in semi-darkness. We realize
that this is probably a necessity, but
it doesn't help the looks of the Park
any. Wouldn't it be grand if we had
the same lighting in winter as in the
summer.
The weather couldn't be beat any
where in the country, and according to
numerous weather prophets we shall
have good weather until December
first At that date, so says the Hag-
erstown Almanac, we shall have some
snow.
Well, only four months of winter
will please us nightly. And Garrett
county has good weather More peo-
pie are coming in than ever before.
