MT. LAKE PARK

Last week Mountain Lake had the
making of another fire, this time a
very small one, but it could have
caused a great deal Of damage. The
Oakland Fire Department responded
quickly. Result of the fire, no dam
age. Mr.. and Mrs. George Hipsley,
through this column desire to thank
the fire department members for their
work and their kindness.
We sometimes wonder if Mountain
Lake people realize just what this
department means to the Park. There
are times when we think they do not.
Certainly any help the Park can rem
der the fremen should be given and
given freely since they give so much
to US here.
A great many inquiries are coming
in regarding cottages for the summer
months. This is surprising insomuch
as there is apparently no particular
program for the summer. A very
great number of queries also come
from people desiring to rent or pur-
chase property for the year around.
