MT. LAKE PARK

Election Whispers-or should we
say whispering Hopes.
The ladies aren't saying much, yet,
so our report on them must wait until
next week. But we did get note from
Mrs. F. P. Arnold in which she stated
that the idea of having all women in
council would be splendid. That she
had been taxpayer for over fifty
years and would like to see what the
women could do. We take it that she
would be content to have a mere male
for the Mayor. Well, she isn't the
first to suggest that sort of ticket.
However, it might cause complica-
tions. That Mt. Lake Park should have
at least two women members is the
thought of one prominent civic minded
citizen. Here's a list of those we have
heard discussed for the Mayoralty-
(maybe they all don't know it, Garth
right May, James Elliott, Edward
Kahl, DR.. Hall, John Carter, Dr. w. B.
Love, D. R. Fleming, C. w. Schoup.
There may be others, but so far that's
the list one hears about. For council
George Dawson, Pat Morgan, Rev
erend Teagarden, Mrs. Jennie Rich
ardson, Mrs. Walter Brock Incidently
there are any number of people who
are satisfied with the present regime
and say why change. Anyhow, that's
the way it's beginning to stack up.
If we have missed anyone then it's
because we haven't heard the "Whis-
per-"
Miss Sylvia Slocum, District Agent
of Is counties in Virginia, under the
Department of Agriculture, stopped
here enroute to Pittsburgh, for a Con-
vention Of Division superintendent,
held under the sponsorship of the U. S.
Agriculture Department. Miss Slocum
was a guest in the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Ream, and was accom-
panied here by their daughter, Miss
Ruth Ream, of King William County,
Richmond, Va. Miss Ream will be
heard over Station WRVA on Satur-
day, May oath, at 12;45. Better mark
that down. Miss Ream and Miss Slo-
cum will return to Richmond on Fri
day.
Garbage collections were made on
Monday. The next cleanup day will
be May 28th. 1t is urged that you
place all cans in containers. On Mon
day the collector was held up due to
the fact that in many places he had to
gather up scattered rubbish. This is
not his job. Nor is he supposed to
haul your leaves, dirt, or stones away.
Why not cooperate?
