to feel more like a criminal than a
hero: when a gingham dress is con-

sidered a silly question, for there
ain’t going to be no such a thing.
ABOUT WHAT'LL
HAPPEN
When one law does not satisfy, or
is not enforced, let's pass another.
That is the best way in the world
for this country in a few more years
to have no laws at all. We are fast
coming to the point where we
overburdened with laws.
that is the trouble with this country.
They pass many that every fel-
low has some law he is not in favor
of and this disrespect for
all laws.

WHAT WE NEED
A number of our leading business
men are agitating the employment
of a constable to be on duty here
at all times. This, in our estimation,
is a move in the right direction.
Thefts are quite numerous thru-
out the county at this season of the
year, many being traced to the un-
employed and others to those who
want extras over the holidays.
We helieve we voice the senti-
ment of many when we say that the
employing of an officer would be
money well spent.

SIGNS AT CROSSINGS
Automobile associations and oth-
ers engaged in the work of averting
grade crossing accidents. can do no
better than campaign for the pre-
vention of advertising signs at or
near railroad crossings. There
should be nothing at or near cross-
ings likely to cause distraction.
When the driver of a vehicle is ap-
proaching a crossing he should have
his mind on that very thing, and
not be reading signs or thinking of
something else. Signs are likely to
attract his attention, and though
only for a moment. it is at a time
when he should be watching for
trains and thinking of nothing else.
It is for safety of the motor driving
public that signs at crossings be re-
moved, other than those required to
indicate a railroad crossing, and au-
to drivers and public authorities
should co-operate to effect their
elimination.
SHOP NOW
This is the year’s most cheerful
season. The shop windows of Mt.
Joy are tastefully decorated in har-
mony with the spirit of the time.
Youngsters are writing letters to
Santa, and Christmas buying is on
in earnest.
With less than 4 weeks between
now and Christmas, it is time for
all of us to get busy. The merch-
ants of Mt. Joy have secured excel-
lent Christmas stocks, gifts to suit
everyone gathered from the four
corners of the earth. But these
stocks will not last indefinitely.
Last minute shoppers are bound to
be disappointed. Local merchants
have informed the editor that the
buying is unusually heavy this year,
and those who put off the shopping
until December 24 will experience
a hard time to get suitable gifts for
the friends and relatives they have
on their lists.
So do your Christmas shopping
tomorrow, or at the latest on the
following day. Do not make it evi-
dent to your friends that the gifts
you sent were last minute thoughts.
Most Christmas gifts are apprecia-
ted not according to their intrinsic
value but according to the thought-
fulness they represent.

impressed upon them within the
next few days the value of consis-
tent saving. The banks here are

TUBERCULOSIS DAYS
| In connection with the Christmas
| Seal Sale two special days are ob-
i served as follows:
| Tuberculosis Sunday,
| 28th.
Tuberculosis day in the schools,
| Friday, December 10th.
| Colonel Henry W. Shoemaker,
| Christmas Seal chairman for Penn-
sylvania, in announcing Tuberculosis
| Day in the churches, appealed for
| greater co-operation with the self-
| sacrificing army of workers engaged
in fighting the White Plague. Col-
onel Shoemaker said:
“Ministers and church workers are
fully aware of the great inroads made
| by the White Plague on family life.
{It is one of the serious and tragic
problems in every community.”
On December 10th teachers will
{ call the attention of their scholars to
| the dangers of the White Plague and
how to avoid it. The children also
will be given two stories, “The Three
November
Little Pixies” and “The Splendid
Journey.”

each member is required to deposit

small sum each week.
The Christmas savings club plan,
inaugurated by the banks of the
nation but a few years ago has been
accepted by a host- of people as
the means either for forming the
nucleus of a permanent bank ac-
count or for providing a definite
sum of money for their annual
Christmas buying. In either in-

They are charged with collecting ad

were told were regularly fought in the
roadhouse courtyards by members of
student fraternities.
Police found professional duelists
posing as students, fighting in jackets
stained with blood represented as hav

blood was that of chickens. The police

soon, it was sald that the killing of
the animals had not included Vixen,
Trixen and the other Santa Claus
team. So children need have no fear
that the annual Christmas visits will
be abandoned. One firm in Alaska
has informed the department that it
expected to export 5,000 carcasses.
Much of the meat is shipped from
