MT. LAKE PARK

lnlngS seem pretty quleC HSIe diUel
two such days as Saturday and Sun
day. The Mickey Band picnic Satur
day proved successful from every
standpoint, the main point being that
the boys made little money.
The Choir Festival on the following
day had good audiences both after
noon and evening, and best of all they
were appreciative listeners to the
splendid programs given.
The Festival this year seemed to
draw a different group than in form
er years. True, there were many of
the same supporters and admirers to
be seen in the amphitheatre, but also
there were new faces. Several groups
of young students listened to Rev.
Robinson's program and expressed
their appreciation. One set in par
ticular, interested US and others who
met them. They were from Chestnut
Ridge Camp, a camp 6 miles from
Cooper's Rock in Monongahela coun-
ty, and situated in the heart of. the
West Virginia State Forest.
These young people were all instruc
tors at the camp-which, by the way,
is conducted or sponsored by the Pres
byterian church. There are many such
projects now under all denominations.
Children sent to these camps are Sc
lected by County Case workers and
are as rule youngsters handicapped,
abandoned, or undernourished. Among
those here Sunday were Rosalie Field,
Kansas State college; Franklin David
son, Wabash college; Connie Laird,
Smith college; Edward Christopher
son, Case; Anne Straus, Vassar; Rev.
David French, Chicago Theological
Seminary; Herbert Thompson, Prince
ton; Patricia Woodward, U. of Pitts
burgh. From Wooster were James
Blackwood, Eunice McAnnes, Jane
Westbrook and Mary Wilcox. From
VIVA. u, Morgantown, Patty Peck,
Robert Hughes and Lois Gaupp. To
all of these visitors Mt. Lake Park
was new. Some had never been in
this section before, but each and every
one have declared their intention to
return and spend some time here. So
we say that the Choir Festival does
great deal for US even though it be
for only one day. 1t it fine advertis-
ing and it's good advertising for the
whole county.
Next Tuesday evening at the Taber-
nacle the Park Improvement Club is
