MT. LAKE PARK

This weather is anything but help
full to the weekly correspondent for a
county paper. First place it's hard
getting around places and when you
do finally get there it's only to find
that you may as well leave-no one
has time to bother talking other thar
to say "our water pipes froze and
bursted" or there's something wrong
with that furnace, it just doesn't heat,
maybe it's the coal" and so on. Now
that's not news, at least not to us,
even if we don't have a furnace. This
is not going to be a thesis on the
weather-we have heard too much
about it. Anyhow, what we are trying
to do is to apologize for the column.
In case you are wondering what to
read which would be in keeping with
the climatic condition, etc., we sug-
gest "The Story of Costa Berling," by
Selma Lagerlof The wintry winds
of Mt Lake will seem pretty mild
when you read that. AS an added at
traction you might try Whittier's
"Snowbound". Well, thanks to the
Mayor and Council, for probably the
first time in a good many years we
were not "snowbound." Our streets
were more than traversable. Theodore
Woods with his snow pillow did a good
job and Officer yelling wasn't bit
soft hearted" when it came to rout-
ing the course of the pillow. Not a
street was missed and even alleys were
shoveled out by the plow. This was
done not only one day but several days
and many times in some days.
