THINGS WE OUGHT TO HAVE
i By
JOE SHAEFFER
Mount Joy is a town that has
grown in years,
And still it grows and grows,
The things we had ten years ago
Is not enough, each knows.
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.
