BirthdayGreetingsIn most cases a person's place of
residence is not determined by: choice but largely through chanceof birth. Frequently then one'sdomicile is - like his relatives, decided
by iate and not by selection.Lucky then are -we when our lot jis cast in a favorfed .country and achoice location in that country.
About a half century ago a young jman from the west looked aroundfor an ideal spot to spend his days,and after careful consideration
selected
Sugar Loaf mountain inFrederick county as an. ideal spot
to make his home. Gordon Stronghas spent the greater part of hislife on that mountain, findinghealth and inspiration. His love ofthat beautiful eminence has grownwith each passing year, and he hasfelt the urge to share the beauties Iwith others. Little by little, he!improved the property and wcl-
, corned visitors to enjoy the charm*'
of .Sugar Loaf.It is no\v. virtually a public park.
More than 45,000 visitors werecounted in 1950, and it is expectedthat this year fully 60,000 willjourney to the summit. Provisionhas been made by Mr. Strong forcontinuing Sugar Loaf Mountainfor the enjoyment of visitors forall time, through operation by anon-profit corporation.
The News is happy to extendbirthday greetings to Mr. Strong.We hope he will have many moreyears of good health and happiness.This community is grateful to himfor his interest in and maintain-
"ance of one of the county's beautyspots. By his constructive effortshe has made a wonderful contribution
to the attractiveness of thisarea. Mr, Strong takes his placeas one of the outstanding builders
'of our county.
