One can say many good things in
the paper every week and nobody ever
compliments the editor or his associ-
ates.
But just print something that some
body takes exception to or doesn't like,
and you hear about it from all sides.
Hardly a week has gone by where
Deep Greek Lake, Garrett county's
summer climate and its pure atmos-
phere hasn't been boosted in these
columns. We gave more space to the
bathing beauty contest and boat re-
gatta the week previous than any
other story in the paper and carried
two pictures of the winners and run
ners-up following the affair.
And yet in another part of the paper
in this column there was a sentence or
two that somebody didn't like and they
accuse US of running down" the Lake
and of not being fair.
One women even got so worked up
she asked for her bill and cancelled her
subscriptions very foolish and fu-
tile display, which spites the person
herself and not the newspaper, for he
or she will now go to the trouble Of
borrowing somebody's paper, just to
get the news. And stopping sub
scription over a matter of this char
acter never did upset an editor, for
it has never failed yet-where one per-
son stops the paper, two or more al
ways come in and subscribe, which was
the case last Friday.
At least that is one way to find out
if the column is read. Just print some
thing that somebody else thinks should
not have been printed.
49,
1t takes a drought or a long spell Of
rain when it appears the sun has for
gotten to maintain its course and has
disappeared from the sight of man to
make people realize just how futile
they are without the Supreme Force
and the usual regularity of Nature.
People have become advanced in
many things. New inventions are al
most continuous, which tend to make
living more enjoyable. All the discov-
cries of science have made man the
master of many things. But no matter
how advanced they become they must
still depend upon Greater Force than
their own. Man can't stop the rain or
make the sun to shine. He must depend
upon God for this.
Man has learned methods which
make crops grow better, but there is
no substitute for sun and rain, cold
and heat. They are necessary for a
successful harvest.

Many Of US cannot get away from
our desks and our jobs for any eX-
tended period of time, and some don't
even get away for that long.
So in the midst of work, keeping
ones mind calm and serene, working
without tension, facing each day with
enthusiasm and hope, routing fear and
worry, are things for which to strive.
If we all can learn the trick that Ruth
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1939-07-27

Smeltzer writes about in her poem,
we'd all be better off. She says:
1 find it quite impossible
To HE away and rest;
Away from cares and troubles,
To distant mountain crest.
So shall stay at home this year
And send my cares away
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1939-07-27

In this territory rain has been quite
abundant-almost too much so, espec-
tally last week. And so we hope for
more sunshine.
In the New England States there
has been almost no rainfall, just clea"
and sunshiny days. The people there,
of course, look for rain. Crops in both
sections depend upon both rain and
sun, and we can't do anything about it
ourselves. We must look to a Higher
Power than our own for aid. Many
people forget this Supreme Power I'M
til they are reminded every now and
then.
People travelling along the road to
the breast of the dam should not miss
seeing the model of an old mill, con-
structed by DR.. W. B. Love, of Noun
tain Lake Park, who has a summer
home down there near McComas
Beach. The old mill wheel is run by
water power and at night the mill
house is lighted by electricity, and the
glow from the windows makes the
place visible. 1t is in secluded spot
by the side of the road, but can be seen
if one is looking for it.
Last weeks travels brought me to a
place in the county for the first time.
The place itself had been there long
enough for me to have seen it be-
fore. In fact, it is the oldest town in
the county-Selbysport.
They have picturesque Methodist
church there and although it became
too dark to inspect the entire commun-
ity, some citizen told me that they
were also proud of their schoolhouse;
how the school yard had been changed
in the several years that Miss Jennie
Timney had been there from a mudhole
to a lovely lawn with many flowers.
The railroad station, once an i'm
pressive building of its kind, was a
dilapidated looking affair, as it is now
off the beaten track for that kind of
transportation, but in farming and
community matters the citizens there
were evidently keeping up with the
rest of the county. Perhaps the rail-
road station could be made into COM
munity building for these people, that
would even make for more interest i'll
community affairs.
Contrary to what l had thought
previously the first settlers here must
have come up the Youghiogheny River
from Pennsylvania. l would have
guessed that they would have come
through the Narrows from Cumber-
land and the east. That's where l
guessed wrong.
