It’s safe
The Penn Laurel Girl
Scout Council Board of
Directors has assured the
public that security provi-
sions are more than ade-
quate to safeguard the lives
of girls in camp.
Penn Laurel has installed
walkie-talkie systems in
camp units and has arrang-
ed for periodic patrols by
township police as well as
security guards.
The girls are never left
alone without councelors,
and no activities are plan-
ned which would require
them to be in isolated
areas.

Mount Joy
Boro Council meets
Mount Joy Borough
Council said they will
terminate their lease with
the Mount Joy Vo-Tech
School for the area known
as the Cove. The termina-
tion will be effective Au-
gust 22, 1977. The high
cost of insurance, mowing
and trash removal were
cited as the main reasons
for their decision.
The other reason is the
fact that the land lies in
Rapho Twp. and the coun-
cil questioned their legality
in being there.
Over the years the bor-
ough has leased the ground
from the school and in turn
sub-let it to the Mount Joy
JayCees. The JayCees did
a remarkable job in making
the land into a very nice
picnic area.
The council received a
request from Warner Cable
TV for a rate increase of
$.50 per month. The in-
crease would hike the rate
from $6.50 to $7.00, repre-
senting an increase of
7.6%. Council turned the
request over to the Admin-
istration and Finance
Committee for study.
Council was told that all
other communities in the
area have agreed to the
increase, but unless Mount
Joy goes along with it the
Cable company may not
raise the rate.
Council gave their ap-
proval for the final subdivi-
sion plan of Walter and
Rachel Heisey for their
property at Hill Street
between Orchard and Ang-
le Sts. They also approved
the final draft, with minor
changes, for the Hess-Ul-
rich, Inc., storm sewer
agreement.
Councilman Ammon
Smith said road bids will
be awarded at the August
8th meeting. He told coun-
cil the Spring Alley storm
sewer project will begin
shortly.
Residents of Delta Street
were given a glimpse of
hope for correction of a
water problem in their
area. The residents of
Delta Street have tried for
over 10 years to get some
action from council but
their requests were post-
poned because council did
not own the land nearby
where the water could be
directed. Council did con-
tact the owners and have
come to a tenative agree-
ment.
