Jay Robert Flanagan, Sr.
Race for Mayor (cont’d.)
[continued from page 1]
conduct these polls on a
semi-regular basis. The
poll results would be used
as a guide to new ordin-
ances and other action.
A poll was circulated in
Marietta several years ago,
which indicated what Mari-
liked about their
town, what they didn’t like,
and what changes they
wanted. Mr. Kulman
showed the Times reporter
a copy of this poll as an
example of what he had in
mind.
Mr. Kulman hopes to get
more Federal money for
Marietta. He told us that a
large part of his job (as
director of the Vocational
Research Institute in Phila-
delphia) consists of apply-
ing for grants and govern-
ment money. With this
experience, he feels he
could bring in more reven-
ue without raising taxes.
Although he works out of
town and commutes for
four hours a day, he said
that, as mayor, he would
install a telephone-answer-
ing device to take mes-
sages, and would be avail-
able to the citizenry on
Saturdays and nights.
Mr. Kulman also pro-
posed a unified regional
police force (covering all of
East Donegal Twp.) to re-
place the present local
police forces. This would
make it easier to obtain
Federal funding, he said.
Yet another idea he
would like to work on is a
restructuring of the council
committees. Each commit-
The candidates speak
Harold V.
Kulman
It is incumbent upon the
Mayor of our community to
become involved in activi-
ties beyond the direct
supervision of our police
force. Small communities
like ours need to take
advantage of every outside
(county, state, and local)
source of funds available to
them in order to meet basic
operational costs and to
make improvements for the
betterment of the commun-
ity. It is my belief that the
Mayor should be directly
involved in the procure-
ment of these outside
funds. Our Mayor should
also establish committees
which will enhance com-
munication between our
citizen input, what goals
should be established for
the community, and how to
achieve them. Consequent-
ly, with council sponsurship
the Mayor and council
should become directly in-
volved in projects to ac-
complish these goals.
I realize that this is a
progressive approach when
compared to our present
concept of the responsibili-
ties of the mayorality. But
the survival of our com-
munity depends upon our
leadership, our ability to
best utilize the resources
we have at hand, and the
involvement of the total
community in our decision-
making processes.

This week the Times
continues to let the candi-
dates speak for themselves.
Last week we ran state-
ments from persons seek-
ing office on the school
! board, the boro councils, or
as township supervisors.
All but a few sent us
material. Ammon Smith,
boro council candidate for
Mount Joy’s Florin ward,
declined, as did Marietta
council hopefuls John
Reuter and Carl Markely.
This week we present
statements from all three
mayoral candidates (James
Gingrich was kind enough
to respond to our request,
although he has no oppon-
ent) and the candidates for
Tax Collector in Mount
Joy.
While township Tax Col-
lector Jay Houseal has no’
opponents, there are nc
less than eight candidates
for tax collector in Mount
Joy. The reason: it pays.
Of the two Democrats
running for this position,
one (Paul F. Barto) de-
clined to send material.
One Republican (Carl M
Leaman) is also missing.
Of the other positions,
such as Inspector of Elec-
tions and Judge of Elec-
tions, none is opposed.
The Times wishes to
thank all candidates for
their cooperation.
~ For Mayor of Mount Joy
May 11, 1977
tee should have volunteer
citizens to advise it. Mr.
Kulman thinks that this
would improve communica-
tions between the council
and the public. He feels
that such communication is
now a ‘‘hit or miss, trail
and error’’ proposition.
Mr. Kulman is married,
and has three dav_“ters
aged 12, 14, and 17 years
old. He holds a Master's
degree in clinical psycho-
logy. He served one term
as a council member, from
1968 to 1972.
Jay Robert
Flanagan
I feel I am best qualified
for the position of Mayor,
for the borough of Mari-
“etta, because I have spent
ten years on council; four
of those years as president
of council and two years as
vice president. I have serv-
ed on every committee.
I do follow issues cur-
rently affecting Borough
‘residents by attending all
council meetings. Since
being appointed Mayor to
fill the unexpired term of
Bernard McDevitt, 1 con-
duct regular monthly meet-
ings with the police depart-
ment and safety committee
Mr. Flanagan has servec
one term as a councilman,
one as president of council,
and two years as vice
-president.
Gingrich seeks reelection |
I am seeking reelection
for a number of reasons.
1. To continue commun-
ication with citizens of the
Borough, such as informa-
tion regarding safety, or-
dinances, and up-coming
events which involve res-
idents of our Borough.
2. Keep a good rapport
with Borough Police. Work-
ing with the Chief to help
maintain a safe place to
live, work and play. We
have a good Police force
which enable our residents
to be proud to live here,
because of efforts put forth
for safety and protection.
3. To continue to help up-
grade our police facilities.
We are working on up-
dating facilities at the
present time and would like
to have some results of
study by summer.
4. Continue to work with
the council on items that
would be for the better-
ment of our community and
consistantly keeping the tax
payer in mind. We try to
make each dollar work to
its full capacity.
I ask for your continuing
support which you gave in
the past, to make Mount
Joy a great place to live.
