A scene from the circus
The Circus is coming!
The circus is coming!
Step right up, ladies and
gentlemen, for the arrival
of the Great American
Circus.
Sponsored by the Mount
Joy Rotary Club, the circus
will arrive in Mount Joy on
Thursday, May 18th. The
crew will unload between
7:00 and 8:00 AM at
Lumber and David Streets,
and the big top will be
pulled into the air by
elephants between 9:00 and
10:00!
Showtimes are 6:00 and
8:00 PM. For the conven-
ience of the public, reduced
price advanced sale tickets
are on sale now from
Rotary Club members.
The circus will also
appear in Columbia on
Wednesday, May 24th,
along Rte. 462 at the
Columbia Factory Outlet
near Murphy's Minit Mart.
This showing will be
sponsored by the Columbia
Sertoma Club, and tickets
will be on sale at Murphy’s
Minit Market. Show times
are the same.
Some of the attractions
of the circus are: Myrtle,
the largest performing ele-
phant in the world—and
one of the oldest, at 65
years. She weighs 10,000
Ibs. Another elephant,
Baby Betty, is small
enough that the kids can
play with her.
Today, elephants are
found in their native
habitat in only two sections
of the world — in India and
in Africa. Indian elephants
are used for circus per-
formances because they are
much more intelligent than
the African variety. All of
the Great American ele-
phants have been imported
from Asia as baby ele-
phants are very seldom
born in captivity. Circus
performing elephants are
always females, although
they are all refferred to by
Eee YY
their
“bulls.”
attendants as
An elephant sleeps about’
four hours and then is
ready for work the next
twenty, and if you watch a
huge elephant herd at
night, you will find that
they never all lay down to
sleep at the same time, but
always leave one of their
number up and awake to
stand guard on the herd.
The food for one ele-
phant for one day consists
of 200 pounds of hay, S0 to
100 gallons of water, bran,
oats, twenty loaves of
bread, and often fruit or a
juicy watermelon for des-
sert.
The Great American Circus
also has a department of
utter nonsense, known to
circus people as ‘‘Clown
Alley.”” But it makes good
sense to have a department
of nonsense if you operate
a circus, for 'buffoonary is
the oldest form of enter-
tainment on earth.
Rapt students of humor
psychology, these present-
day jesters carry on an
ancient calling that dates
back to the days of the
court fools and the wand-
ering minstrels of medieval
times. Almost, universally,
circus buffoons get their
nickname —‘‘joeys’’—from
Joseph Grimaldi, a re-
nowned English clown
about whom Charles Dick-
ens and his father wrote a
book that outsold the
famous ‘‘Oliver Twist”’ in
its initial printing.
There are nearly as many
different kinds of make-up
as there are clowns. Each
one feels that he is
ethically entitled to his own
peculiar style. The job of
the clown is just as serious
to him, as is the work of
the average man in his job,
and many hours may go
into the preparation for just
one laugh.

Ernie Kline was born in Allentown, Lehigh
County, in 1929. While he was still a young boy,
his parents, Allen Kline and the former Elna
Natali, moved to Westmoreland County. There,
Ernie Kline attended elementary school in Webster
and graduated from Rostraver Township High
School.
While working as a radio newscaster in Beaver
Falls, Ernie Kline was elected to the City Council.
There he learned how people expect Government to
work for them. During the Lawrence
Administration, he became a workmen’s
compensation referee where he dealt daily with the
problems of working people.
He was elected to the State Senate in 1964. Less
than three years later, his colleagues chose him
Democratic Floor Leader.
Ernie Kline was elected Pennsylvania’s 25th
Lieutenant Governor in 1971. In 1974, he became
the first man in the State's history to be elected to
two consecutive terms as Lieutenant Governor.
Ernie Kline and his wife, the former Josephine
Recupero, now live with their seven children at
Indiantown Gap in Lebanon County. They worship
at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church in nearby
