Race
for Mayor
There isn’t much of a
race for mayor of Mount
Joy—James Gingrich is
running unopposed. In
Marietta the situation is
different.
Jay Robert Flanagan,
Sr., and Harold J. ‘“‘Bro-
sie’’ Kulman, both Repub-
licans, are battling it out.
Since no Democrat is run-
ning for Marietta mayor,
the winner of the May 17th
primary is a shoe-in for the
office when elections are
held next fall.
Mr. Flanagan, appointed
to mayor when Barney Mc-
Devitt resigned last March
10th, is the incumbent.
While ex-mayor McDev-
itt described his old office’s
duties as being ‘mostly a
figure-head,”” the mayer
does have responsibilities.
The main one is super-
vising the police force and
acting as negotiator bet-
ween them, the council,
and the public. The mayor
also has veto power on new
ordinances (like the U.S.
President’s veto on new
bills from Congress), and
he can cast the deciding
vote in case of a tie vote in
council.
Again like the U.S. Pres-
ident, the mayor has pres-
tige. If he proposes an or-
dinance, the council is like-
ly to consider it. This in-
tangible factor adds to his
power.

enforcement of ordinances
such as the speeding laws.
He also wants to work for
closer cooperation between
the police and the council.
In addition to the above,
Mr. Flanagan indicated
that he has has plans for
an anti-litter campaign. No
details are immediately
available. He also is think-
ing of a drug abuse pro-
gram.
Mr. Flanagan wants to
set up seminars at River-
view at which Marietta
policemen would meet local
children, somewhat like the
monthly programs at Zion
school.
When asked why he is
running, he answered,
‘because I enjoy it, and
it’s a challenge.”
Mr. Flanagan has served
one term as councilman,
and one term as president
of council.
He works at Wyeth Labs,
is married and the father of
two sons. He was born in
Bainbridge, served in the
U.S. Navy, and is a mem-
ber of the Masonic Lodge
and the Lutheran Church.
Harold V. Kulman
Mr. Kulman is running
an aggressive campaign,
and he hopes to be a dyna-
mic mayor.
Among the many pro-
jects he mentioned in an
interview last week, the
one he is most interested in
is a public opinion poll. If
elected, he would like to

MOUNT JOY,
FIFTEEN CENTS
Why is this man angry? Or is he angry? Maybe he’s just
trying to drive his wife, whom he is shaking, to nervous
breakdown ... she’s already on the edge. But then, he’s
having an affair with the nurse ...Hmmm! Don Kelly
and Allison Hawthorne in a scene from Night Watch,
coming soon to DHS. For more prevues, see page 9.
Just clowning around?
“Life is somewhat of a
stage, and with the present
great depression we all
need a little clowning
around,”’ says Evening of
Entertainment’s director,
Alan Szymanski.
With this thought in
mind, Alan decided to start
the Evening with the song
‘Send in the Clowns”’
And of course, clowns.
The clowns will not only
introduce the show, but
circulate around the stage
and audience as well. Alan
hopes that they will contri-
bute to the upbeat, fast
-paced variety of acts and
musical selections.
“The show is not a true
collage,’’ explains Alan,
“but it’s a rapid succession
of individual performers,
who are the heart of the
show. We have many very
talented people lined up.”
Alan also told us that he
is bringing in a sound
engineer from WITF-TV in
Hershey, who will ‘‘equip
DHS as it never has been
equipped before.”’
Don’t miss it.
Even clowns must rehearse. Caught by our roving photographer during a break are,
left to right around the piano: Rose Livelsberger, Carol Zimmerman, Nelda Bair,
Sharon Zimmerman (reclining), Dick Merritt, and director Alan Szymanski. Sitting
on the stool in front is Keith Smith. Sharon, a music major at E-town College, will
sing the introductory number, ‘‘Send in the Clowns.”’ Not pictured are clowns Jim
Riggs and Misty Tignanelli. Photo was taken in the basement of the Assumption
B.V.M. Church in Marietta, which is sponsoring the Evening of Entertainment.
