MT. LAKE PARK

Just in case some of the candidates
to be in the coming town election of
July 9Th should forget, the deadline
for filing your candidacy is June
goth, so be sure and file on or be-
fore that date.
One hears again the old question:
Should there not be road to the
lake? Personally, we thought it had
been "done settled, but it would
seem that it was just restful period,
and again citizens are agitating for
and against.
There is no question but that a
hookup with the new road at the
bowling alley and going to the spring
would be another step toward the
progress of Mt. Lake as a resort.
And we must not forget that July
18th to 18th the Summer School of
Missions will be held. There is little
need to stress the excellence of their
programs. We all know the fine talent
presentd on their platform.
Early one morning the past week
one of our citizens drove past the
bowling alley enroute to the post
office. What was his surprise to see
coming toward him from the direc-
ton of the lake young deer. He
stopped and watched it go on its way
following the road past Allenhurst
and the Logan Carr property and
heading for the woods below. He re-
ported that it apparently was not
frightened.
The writer of this column has beer
asked to publish the names of loca
boys in Government service-where
they are located and their branch OF
service. We shall be glad to do this
However, it is impossible to be GER
tain that we have them all, so if those
interested will send US the name anc
information it will be listed. To date
we have received quite a number bu
prefer to wait until the list is com
pleted.
What seemed to be only a prank
almost proved otherwise one nigh
this week. A visitor to the Park wa!
aroused at 1870 by the loud rappins
of the door knocker Alarmed that i
might be a message she hurried to thu
door. AS she opened it large planl
with rusty nails protruding from tn,
top struck her, almost knocking he
down. AS it was she suffered bruise
and scratches. That may be some one
idea of fun. If it is, then he or the.
should be put some place where thei
distorted idea of humor and joke
would not injure people, and agail
comes the question, should we have ;
police officer? Just what he coul
have done in this case we do no
know. However, the fact that it wa
known there was an officer in tn
Park might have made the culprit
not quite so bold.
