We must keep up with Father time, To protect and build as well, Because, Mt. Joy may grow some- day, To a city,—you never can tell. There are things that need im- provement, And others we should add, To beautify the town we have, And make our visitors glad. Then too the one’s that live right here, Need all protection we can give, From fire, and death, and other things, If we expect each one to live. Now, friends, light, Across our main highway, That guides our traffic in and out, And guides them night or day. But still that’s not enough you see, Two more we should install, One up at Rohrer’s and the lower bank And, that makes three in all. (Turn to page seven.) ——— Or Eee.
