40 years.
The Mount Borough
Council and the Mount Joy
Planning Commission have
not yet seen any plans for
the development and have
many questions concerning

buildings, laundry facilities,
recreational facilities, and
pedestrian walks along
Route 230.
The plan for Creekside
has the backing of the
County Planning Commis-
sion, Lancaster City, Lan-
caster County Redevelop-
ment Authority, Lancaster
City-County Human Relat-
ions Committee; Central
Pennsylvania Legal Servic-
es, and the Housing
Development Corporation of
Lancaster County.

expressed no opinion of the
project, about which they
want more detailed inform-
ation.

FIFTEEN CENTS
Dr. A. Ghali, new dentist
in Mount Joy, on call
round the clock
Mount Joy has a new
dentist: Amin Ghali, D.D.S.
Although he only opened
his practice on June 4, it has
increased rapidly. One
reason why the number of
his patients has grown is
because Dr. Ghali will
handle emergencies at any
time of the day or night. He
received a call from one
patient in pain at 3 a.m.
Dr. Ghali moved to Mount
Joy with his family, his wife
Evelyn and son Timothy,
2%, with a new Ghali
expected any minute, be-
cause he feels that the
people in the Mount Joy
area have principles that
they adhere to. A Presbyter-
ian, Dr. Ghali and his family
have been attending several
churches since they moved
to Mount Joy.
Reared and educated in
Egypt, Dr. Ghali received
his undergraduate and
dental training at the
University of Cairo, where
he held a fellowship and
received specialized training
in periodantics (treatment of
the gums). His practice in
mount Joy, however, is
general dentistry.
Dr. Ghali says that he felt
honored to have been
selected to study in a special
training course at the dental
school of the University of
Pennsylvania, one of the
three leading dental schools
in the U.S. He still goes to
Philadlphia every Thursday,
where he works with three
associates.
His office is located at the
rear of 75 East Main Street,
Mount Joy.
