Concentrating Buildings

Asserting that the short sighted

Sounds like a silly quotation for
this column, but perhaps we can
make you see our point. For the first
season in fifteen years or more Mt
Lake Park has a full quota Of visitors
from many sections of the country
The cottages are taken, boarding
houses have had a good season since
the early part Of June, and as for the
Mt. Lakek Hotel, this is one summer
when they have turned them away.
Reservations there are for nearly all
of August. For the most part our
summer visitors have been folks who
came only for a week or two but who
have ended by remaining. This is true
we believe not only of Mt Lake Park
but of all Garrett county.
Tuesday we had calls for Garrett
county literature and we are ashamed
to confess that we did not know
where any was to be found. How
ever, telephone call to The Repub-
lican office gave the information that
it could be found at the City Hall
and was put out by the local Rotary
club.
Mrs. Hugh Miller Izetta Jewell
Brown and her daughter, well
known actress, are guests at the
Hotel and are among our best and
most enthusiastic boosters. Unfor-
tunately we in Mt. Lake can not offer
other than the good climate and
friendliness and hospitality, and yet
there is great deal that might be
done to draw visitors. Lets keep on
hoping. At least we have the oppor-
tunity.

Johnny had stumped his big toe and
the nail was loose and his Uncle Ross
had tied it up in fine style. That night
as he got into bed he asked me whether
Jesus had ever had stumped toes when
he was little.
| told him, 81 guess so, as he grew up
just like any other boy"
Then George asked if Adam ever had
'em too, and without thinking l
agreed that he must have had
stumped toes too.
And felt sort of silly when George
reminded me that Adam had never
been a boy, that God made him a man.

Don't Spoil 1t!

There isn't anywhere that people
travel where the water tastes any
better than on this mountain top.
Oakland, Mt. Lake Park, Deer Park,
and other places have the same kind.
The mere indication that such a
privilege of drinking water that real
ly tastes good, might be taken away,
causes me to turn up my nose in dis
gust.
The thought of having to drink
water like | get when | travel to
other places brings up all sorts of I'M
pleasantness.
And yet such thing might come to
pass. The State health department is
urging that Oakland chlorinate it's
water supply. Since the scare at Mt.
Savage with typhoid fever, the de-
partment is getting extremely eau
tious.
Our water supply is tested here
each month but the sample is sent to
Baltimore under. ordinary tempera-
ture conditions, without benefit of
ice, and sometimes is not tested for
several days. Occasionally, am told,
certain impurities crop up but the de-
partment in noting these impurities
says that the test is unreliable.
Oakland has had such pure water
for so many years, it is unthinkable
that it would ever be otherwise.
And town officials, so they say, are
not figuring just yet on making any
change.
From a scientific health stand
point, this argument would not have
a chance to stand. But from the
standpoint of an ordinary citizen,
who likes his water untainted it will
carry all kinds of weight, l believe.

Why women would want to hoard
silk stockings, though, is a little hard
to understand. just like the people who
boarded gold.
They have the gold but they can't
use it for fear the government will
learn that they boarded it when they
Shouldn't. Now the women, if they are
still wearing silk stockings several
months from now, will be known wher-
ever they go as hoarders. They might
even be called unpatriotic, fifth col

are no lengths to what some people

their target is an innocent victim of

lengths. One never can tell.

Information received by this
government indicates that control
of Italy was achieved by Germany

machine was focusing world atten-

Informed quarters here are con-
WINGED the German threat to the
Balkans. while undoubtedly real,
was deliberately intensified to
cover up the German move into
Italy.
This conviction is based on in
formation indicating that German
sources in the Balkans were re-

scare stories concerning the dam
ger of a German military move
into Bulgaria.
Diplomatic advices indicate the
Italian people are far from pleased
with the situation that has devel-

hopeless position.
