marked too we'll; you'll probably
be a little tired from the days ac-

BY all means, enjoy natures

more attention than the scenery.

Roturiuns Are Entertained
By Summer Theatre Actors

Members of the Oakland Rotary
club had a sampling of the talent
currently producing plays at the
Summer Theatre at McHenry.
Among those on hand last Fri
day to present their novelty num-
bers were Bonnie Barton, Donnie
WEIGH and Leonard Drum. Gene
Yell, director of the Summer
Theatre, gave a short talk, explain
ing to the Rotarians that the ca
pacity of the theatre had been in
creased and that the group was
presenting eight plays this year in
stead of six.
He also revealed that attendance
had steadily improved as the season
progressed last year and that they
were able to pay all bills but were
without profit from their first
years work. He told the Rotarians
he hoped for an increase in attend
ance this year.
The price per play remains the
same as last year. ROtarians are
planning to have a theatre night
soon when all members and their
Rotary AIMS will attend one of the
plays in group.

New Park Area Is
Being Prepared

Garrett county's new state park
is now in the early construction
stage, it was announced this week.
The area, which will cover from
1,20O to 1,500 acres, will be known
as Deep Greek State Park and is To-
Gated along the lake front between
Meadow Mountain run and Cherry
Creek inlet, opposite Cabin lodge,
and was acquired last year from
the lands of Fulcher p. Smith.
Crews employed by the Maryland
State Department of Forests and
Parks have been working at the
site for about month and have
been clearing the area for parking
facilities.
The Board of County Commits
sioners last week let a contract for
construction of an access road
which will be about seven-tenths
of mile long.
improvements to the land will
cost about $4,000. Some of the fa-
cilities will be completed by the
end of this summer and the entire
park is expected to be ready for
use by next summer.
Lumber for picnic tables has been
ordered and should be received
soon. Some 100 picnic tables and
so fireplaces are to be built. An
acre of ground has been cleared in
preparation for comfort station
and tile field work soon will get
under way.
A self-service bathhouse is eX-
pected to be constructed soon.
There will be two parking areas at
the site and a contract has been
awarded for grading the areas.
Funds are available to clean up
the beach for swimmers. The work
is to be done this fall when the
water level of the lake drops. Pro-
visions also are to be made for hik-
ing, swimming, boating and pic
nicking, as well as tent camping.
This is the first state park to be
established in the county, although
there are three recreation areas,
New Germany, Swallow Falls and
Harrington Manor.
