A Crying Need 80.

Some twenty three candidates had signfed their nten-
ton for public office of yesterday Although
fairly certain there will be least fifty more the lack
of enthusiasm is apparent.
There is crying need for deep interest in the welfare
of the county by qualified and upright citizens This is
bette any particular candidate who has filed
but do wish that people who could this county
unsesy and effectively would turn their thoughts toward
politics.
We certain that in many instances political office
thankess job The person who becomes candidate
himself Immediately to campaign by the unscrupu-
ous and believe the INSCRIPTIONS around in ncreas
ing numbers.
AS of yesterday, not person has indicated
becoming member of the House of Delegates and
only person has filed for the State Senate There in
dcaons these positions may become attractive from
salary angle with additional allowances for expenses
There quite number of county positions open and
the field candidates rather limited OF the twenythree
who already filed seventeen Republican and SIX are
Democratic.
We don't know why politics. in many instances, has to
low down. Surely it not meant to be that way orig
inay 1t may be the price for having republican
form government but it could be changed if enough high
minded and Trustworthy people would interest themselves in
our political destiny
For many it would be a sacrifice to become candidate,
but it could be rewardng and perhaps Godsend to our
county and state.

Mt. Lake Residents
Disturbed At Lack
OF Water In Mains

A number of residents of the
northern section of Mt Lake Park
have been considerably disturbed
within the past ten days or two
weeks because of a lack of water
in their homes.
Some of the residents became so
wrought up they contacted the
health department and the Public
Service commission to sec what
remedies we're available.
Members of the Mt. Lake Water
company explained that one Of
the reasons for lack of water at
all hours of the day was because
of leak in the water main in
Loeb Lynn which was discovered
and repaired the other day.
Mrs. II. F. Stockslager, one of the
company owners, said they would
not have this trouble at all IF
the people in the lower section of
the Park had not allowed their
water faucets to run at full tilt in
an attempt to keep the pipes
from freezing" She suggested they
expend little effort in wrapping
their pipes properly to prevent
| freezing.
1t was also pointed out that a
strong wind in January had lifted
the covering from the reservoir
which is located in the park, and
dropped it into the inside of the
area where it froze and could not
be removed until this week
She said a man from the Public
Service commission was in the
Park on Sunday to review the stu
alton.
The water source is located in
the mountains some distance from
Loeb Lynn. A water tank or rcScr-
voir is located in the northern sec
ton or high point" in the park
that is supposed to fill when there
is an excess amount of water in
the mains, so that when heavy use
is made, there will still be an
ample supply.
However, several homes have
been without water for four or
five days at time, according to
Jack Getty and Arvcy Ritchic, two
Of the residents.
Mrs. Stockslagcr SAID that the
water has been tested six times in
February and that at all times the
report had been excellent. She
said she would like to thank the
people of the Park for their CO.
operation, understanding and pa
thence.
She also stated Tuesday that
most Of the residents in the high"
section of the Park were now be-
ginning TO get water.
