XXX No. 20 MOUNT JOY’S ELEVENTH ANNUAL COMMUNITY EXHIBIT, OCT. 20,21, 22 BETTER THAN EVER Te MOUNT JOY, PENNA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12¢h, - 1932 The Mount Joy Bulletin $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE Want Polling Place Changed PUNK CIGARS PASSED OUT BY CONEWAGO CANDIDATE IS MAIN REASON CHANGE IS ASKED FOR PETITIONERS CLAIM Punk cigars, alleged to have been passed out by candidates for office in Conewago township on election day, figured prominently in the row over the change of the polling place, which was heard by the County Commission- ers Wednesday. The polling place is now located at the home of Mrs, Elizabeth Foltz, Re- publican committeewoman from the township. More than 200 registered voters in the district signed a petition asking the removal of the voting place to the Deodate school house, which, they claim, would better serve the convenience of the voters. Among the chief objections to the present location, as cited by Wilbur Brubaker, is the antagonistic attitude of Mrs. Foltz to smoking in the room, which ordinarily is used as a living room by the family. C. M. Foltz, owner of the dwelling, indicated that the objection is chiefly to excessive smoking and particularly to rotten cigars distributed by candi- dates. At a recent election, he said, one of the clerks smoked so many of the “campaign” cigars that he became ill, by the time the count of the votes began. On that occasion, the illfated cigars were handed out by David Shank, candidate for constable, who was defeated, he asserted. —— The Directors Met The regular monthly meeting of the Mount Joy Building and Loan directors was held Wednesday night. Secretary Bomberger reported the receipts were $1,269.80 for the month of September. Several requests for withdrawals were promptly granted, the Federal loan subject was discussed and a few bills paid. ——— rn Quite a Parade The firemen’s parade at the state convention at Lancaster last Thursday, was one of the largest ever held. The line of march was 3% miles long. Mt. Joy was all prepared but did not par- ticipate owing to the rainy weather. —— ee etl A —— Not So Brisk Whether or not its the depression we are unable to say but two days passed last week without a marriage license being granted at the Court House.
