EDITORIAL
A TICKLISH JOB

Keeping tax rates at a proper
and justifiable level is an exceed-
ingly ticklish matter. If the rate
is too high, prospective industries
and home owners are driven away.
On the other hand, if public im-
provements are not up to par, the
community is considered backward
and old-fashioned and the average
family or industry does not care to
locate in such a place.
It is only by co-operation of all
citizens and business-like adminis-
tration of public affairs, that tax
rates may be kept within legitimate
bounds without hindering progress.
THE CHRISTMAS SEAL
Within a short time the annual
sale of Christmas seals by the Na-
tional Tuberculosis association will
begin; and now is a good time to
remind ourselves to buy as many as
we possibly can manage.
The seals sell for a penny each;
yet they provide the sole support
of the association’s 1400 affiliated
organizations in all parts of the
United States in their fight against
tuberculosis.
There is not any reason why we
should make an extended plea for
the support of this work. The pre-
valence of tuberculosis is such a
major problem, and the work done
by these organizations is so valu-
able to the entire country, that the
seals ought to sell themselves.
COMMUNITY WORK
If you try to get people to serve
as officers or committee workers in
any progressive organization, two
out of three, or perhaps nine out
of ten, will say they are too busy.
Many towns fail to go ahead, be-
cause they can’t find people to
work for progress.
One good way
that difficulty, is to
comers to a community to take
hold and do such work. Such per-
sons usually have more spare time,
they are not tied up with so many
organizations, and they like the
chance to take hold in public work
which will help them to get ac-
quainted. Let us seek out the peo-
ple who have recently moved into
Mount Joy and ask them to join
and take an active part in our
community organizations.

HE KILLED HIS MOTHER
Richard Corbett, a Frenchman,
killed his mother to relieve her
suffering from an incurable disease,
was tried for murder, found not
guilty by jury. This brings to the
minds of thinking men and women
once more the thought of relieving
human beings from their suffering
even as we practice it with animals.
Should a person, tired of life, suff-
ering untold agonies and with no
hope of recovery be allowed to suf-
fer on and on? Of course we pro-
ceed on the theory that no human
has a right to end the life of anoth-
er human, and when he does so it
is murder, but the world would
hold much less suffering for hu-
manity if we treated the human in-
curables as we treat the incurable
domestic animals,
“PERSONAL IMBIBATION”
The term was one used by a
government official in describing
what Senator Brookhart lacked in
making out his case against Mr.
Loomis, president of the Lehigh
Valley railroad, when silver flasks
were taken from a shelf at the
Fahy dinner. Later Senator Brook-
bart saw Mr. Loomis pour some-
thing from this flask into a glass
that “smelled like liquor.”
Mr. Brookhart having been a
teetotaler all his life is not the
best witness for the government
if it desires prosecutions. Enforce-
ment officials are plainly skeptical
of the sense of smell. A taste of
liquor will go much farther in
court. Senator Brookhart’s refuge
is in past experiences in the field
which have given
him a very good idea of what li-
quor smells like. But here again
trouble is encountered. Gold paint
smells like bananas but is some-
thing else. A knowledge of chem-
istry is not the best guide.
The fact that the Fahy dinner
was given in 1926 and that Sen-
ator Brookhart is just making pub-
Jie the details of it in support of
his charge that the capital is over-
run by bootleggers makes a rather
weak case for the government. The
incident has brought the Towa
senator considerable publicity. His
delay in making it public is hardly
to his credit.

D. M. Rutherford, a retired
Pennsy veteran and resident of
this place, is recovering from the
effects of gun shot wounds in his
shoulders which he sustained Nov.
2, while in company with friends
on a hunting expedition in the
South mountains in quest of small
game. Mr. Rutherford was a pat-
ient in the Harrisburg hospital be-
fore returning to his home on
Monday evening.
The condition of Jonas Fetrow,
a resident of Falmouth, is some
improved since his accident on
Thursday evening, when he was
struck and knocked unconscious
near the H. M. Fink residence,
east of here by a car driven by
George M. Churley, of Juniata,
sustaining severe contusions of
the body and lower limbs. Mr.
Fetrow, who will observe his
eightieth , milestone, Jan, 22, in
company with his wife and Mrs.
David S. Beinhauer, were walking
towards their home when the acci-
dent occured.
post office people, store clerks, ete.,
ought to be adequate to persuade
everyone to comply with this re-
quest. Some of our people do not
seem much moved by this excellent
reasoning. But it can be shown
that they will gain personally if
they buy their holiday stuff at an
early date,
By so doing they get the best
of Christmas stuff. - Most of the
holiday goods must be in the stores
by this time. Those who come a-
round early for them to get the
very pick of the assortment. If
they go later, many of the most de-
sirable articles will be sold out.
And if they buy early, they can
get good attention from the sales-
people. If they buy later, the
hurried and driven sales clerks will
not probably be able to stop and
talk with them. If they have to
wait on half a dozen people at a
time, each individual customer can’t
expect much attention.
The Christmas rush as it has
been in past years must have been
an expensive way of doing business
Many stores have to hire additional

help. This is an additional charge
put onto the cost of handling the
i goods. If the Christmas rush could
i be distributed over a period of four
to six weeks, then it could be hand-
led without additional expense.
It seems a foolish thing for peo-
ple to crowd into the post office
during the week or 10 days before
the holiday, and stand in line while
waiting for their parcels to be
weighed and insured. Very often
they have to wait a considerable
time. All this lost time could be
saved, by buying and mailing goods
early. Buying early is thus a good
business proposition and a humani-
tarian one. It shows a lack of
forethought to adjourn purchases
until a few days before the holiday.
