EDITORIAL
BUSINESS FRIENDSHIP
When town people convince the
farmers that they are interested in
their welfare, the farmer's confi-
dence is won. It is not how many
dollars’ worth of business you do
each day that counts most, but
how many friends you have made,
friends that have confidence in
you as a merchant and feel that
ou will deal fairly with them.
SOFT SNAPS
If you have found a “soft snap”,
don’t count yourself lucky. You'll
sgon be as soft as the snap.
If you are looking for a soft
gnap, turn right about face and go
the other way. “Hard lines” would
e the making of you.
Feeling that you have a soft
snap makes you take things easy,
prevents your extending yourself
and drawing powers, causes you to
postpone effort, assures your fail-
ure.
It is better to be a good finisher
than a strong starter.
“CLEAN-UP AS YOU GO”
Thousands of tourists
picnic under rural skies. Invariebly
they leave behind a great deal of
refuse matter—paper bags, news-
papers, and scraps of eatables.
All those who picnic out-doors,
whether in city parks, boulevards,
or along the country roadside,
should resolve not -to violate the
hospitality of those who afford
them pleasure spots for spreading
their basket lunches. Motorists
should co-operate to keep the road-
sides clean. leave smear-
ed scraps of paper, greasy boxes,
and other miscellany behind them
after finishing their luncheons are
not only indulging in indifference
to the rights of others but are
{as supervising

OUR GOOD HEALTH
We doubt whether many of you
noticed how the Secretary of our
Socal Board of Health patted Boro
Council on the back at the last
regular meeting of council. Such
a compliment should not go by un-
noticed.
Secretary Leib said the general
health of our boro is largely due
to the excellent condition and
cleanliness of our streets and alleys.
That’s a fact and it should be broad-
casted. There isn’t a town any-
where that has cleaner streets and
alleys than Mount Joy.
Wherever refuse is not permit-
ted to accumulate and breed disease
is where you always find healthy
people. Note how very few cases
of contagious disease we have
here.
We are quite proud that our
Boro Council and Board of Health
are earnestly striving to make
Mount Joy a bigger, better and
healthier place in which to live.
Keep on.
WHY WAIT FOR GEORGE
This is a pretty good town, as
towns go. We all admit it, and are
proud of it.
But there is one fly in the com-
munity ointment that prevents us
from advancing as rapidly as we
should.
Everybody is willing to have things
done, but wants to “let George do
it,” and when George reaches a
certain point he balks, He gets
tired of carrying the whole load.
What we need is a greater spirit
ef co-operation, a willingness on the
part of each one to do his or her
share in the advancement of our
sommunity interests.
In every community there are al-|
ways a few who are willing to work|
for the public good. They are the
Georges.
There are also a lot of others who
are willing to let them do it. They
are not Georges.
Once in a while we read of some
town like Mount Joy that keeps
booming and shoving right along re-
gardless of conditions or handiéaps.
Such a town is full of Georges,
nd because the Georges are so num-
ous one of them are overworked
fl there is no occasion for balking.
Vhy can’t we all be Georges in
town?
ere is room for improvement,
