The Longenecker Fire
A blaze, which caused a loss of
$25,000, was started by a boy near
Milton Grove who applied a match to
a pile of straw so he could “see a little
bon fire” Thursday afernoon.
Five buildings were burned on the
Milton Grove farm, owned by Ephraim
Longenecker, of Elizabethtown; and
tenanted by his son, Victor Longe-
necker, after an adopted son of the
farmer had set fire to some loose
straw while playing with matches.
The boy, Kenneth Brodecker, 14,
who had been adopted recently, de-
clared that before he realized the
danger, large straw stack was ablaze
After he tried in vain to extinguish it
with a bucket of water, he set up
frantic cries for help, attracting the
attention of another adopted son of
the younger Longenecker, Charles S.
Funmiller, 15, who was helping to
paint a room in the farm house.
The Funmiller boy rushed to the
barn which had been ignited by the
blazing traw stack, and at the risk of
his life saved ten steers, dashing into
the burning building several times to
bring the rightened animals to safety.
Longenecker, who was working in a
field, learned of the fire when he saw
smoke issuing from the barn. With
the aid of neighbors he saved most of
the farm implements and an automo-
bile, after summoning the Rheems,
lizabethtown and Mt. Joy fire com-
panies.

sty were razed.
The crops including 225 bushels of
wheat, 30 tons of straw, the same a-
mount of hay, some corn and several
pieces of machinery were destroyed.

MORE ABOUT OUR
PUBLIC LIBRARY
(From page 1)
our history to find other men, who
were self taught men. The way
isn’t always open for the boy or
girl, who desires an education to
acquire books, but does not have
the money to buy books, nor any
place to borrow them. Andrew
Carnegie was one of the fortunate.
The public library is a friend in
need. The books in a public library
under a trained librarian are care-
fully selected to meet the needs of
the community. Under the librar-
ian’s guidance a course in reading
or study may be planned that will
help in acquiring either a general
or a technical education.
When thinking of a public library
the general thought is too often
that the library is for recreation
only. The other side of the library
is forgotten.
Mt. Joy does need a recreation
center, of some kind, that young
and old could feel free to go to
and spend what otherwise might
be an empty evening. It needs a
library, that can supply recreation-
al reading, pure enjoyment,—hum-
orous books, adventure stories, de-
tective stories, and what not. It
needs, also, a library that can an-
swer questions, find facts and sta-
tistics, and supply general informa-
tion.
Mr. Reist has made a generous
offer to the community. He had
the welfare of his home town in
mind, when he offered $50,000 to
the town. The only restrictions
placed upon it are that a library
building be erected, and that the
income from the portion put aside
for endowment be used to purchase
and care fo rbooks. The opportun-
ity is Mt. Joy’s. An opportunity
that may never come again. The
first that has ever come in its his-
tory. ’
Mt. Joy has the chance to be a
leader in a movement in a county
which is especially backward in li-
brary work. We do not know of a
taxed supported library in our
county, but many of the other
counties in the state have them.
Outside of this state, taxation is
the usual way of supporting public
libraries. The Middle West and the
New England states are dotted with
town libraries. Many of the towns
are smaller than Mt. Joy. If they
did not mean something essential
to the life of their communities,
would they maintain them year af-
ter year? Would the large cities,
build not only magnificient main
buildings, but branch buildings in
many sections of the city, if they
were not necessities? Look where
vou will, you will find that wher-
ever a library has been established
and well maintained, it has become
an integral part of a community.

be made as soon as possible by
Benjamin G. Eynon, Commissioner
of Motor Vehicles.
The motor vehicle code. for 1929
makes submission of cars by every
owner compulsory. Thirty days
are granted delinquents after the
final date. If they have not titen
complied they will be subject to
arrest.
The inspections will be the sec-
ond made in Pennsylvania, al-
though mandatory for the first
time. No penalties were inflicted
for failure to have cars looked

Wednes’ay’s proclamat-
last
affected
ion,
After a car has been inspected,
a sticker will be issued which is to
ke attached to the windshield,
provided the machine is .in condi-
tion. If not, the sticker is with-
keld until repairs are made. Any
person driving without the sticker
after the period of grace has expir-
ed will be halted and made to
comply with the regulation.
Enforcement of hhe Inspection
campaign will be in the hands of
the Department of Revenue, which
has taken over the Bureau of Motor
Vehicles and the Motor Patrol.
The new code also legalizes plac-
notices on the
by
ing of inspection
highways. In issuing his procla-
mation, Governor Fisher said:
“I earnestly call upon all owners
and operators of motor vehicles to
have their motor vehicles inspected
during phe period as required by
Act of Assembly, approved May 1,
1929, and upon learning of any de-
fects in mechanism or equipment or
the improper adjustment thereof,
to have such defects eliminated
and such adjustments corrected
immediately.”
