EDITORIAL

Our Memorial Day Citizens committee is sparing neither
time nor expense in an effort to make the day one long to be
remembered. We are agitating a regular home-coming
event.
Thousands of post cards have been printed and can be had
for the asking. Get some and mail them to your friends.
Can you imagine the crowd if each citizen here mails a few
of these cards and their friends respond?

When those Sixteeners, former Soldiers’ Orphans who at-
tended school here, make their annual pilgrimage to Mount
Joy to celebrate their fiftieth anniversary Saturday, June 19,
it seems to us we should do something to make them feel at
home.
Won't some individual or group of citizens take it upon
themselves to do that little something that will create a de-
sire in the hearts of all Sixteeners to return here each year
and when they do return, extend the hand of welcome that
will make them feel that they are still one of us. They are
making extensive plans for this year’s event and we feel as
though Mount Joy should do its share toward making the
event a wonderful success.
More than thirty years ago, Charles Evans Hughes, now
Chief Justice of the United States, said this: “‘Life insurance
is the effective agency of thrift. The best guardian of the
purse that has ever been discovered is the life insurance
policy.”
At that time, life insurance was more or less in its infancy.
The amount outstanding in the light of present-day figures,
was relatively insignficant. Now the American people own
policies totaling more than a hundred billion dollars—and
insurance per capita in this country is several times as great
as it is in any other nation.
Millions of Americans have found, through personal ex-
perience, the truth in what Mr. Hughes said long ago. Not
the least of the virtues of life insurance is that it makes us
save—to put aside for the future, when dollars may come
hard, money that we earn with comparative ease today and
that otherwise might be frittered away.
Vigilant property owners would do well to keep a careful
eye on the rising tendency of construction costs, if they want
to avoid serious loss.
During the years of declining costs and values, thrifty
property owners periodically reduced insurance coverage to
compensate. Now that the cost trend has reversed itself,
they should reappraise their property and, whenever necess-
sary, increase coverage. Under-insurance can be far more
costly in the long run than over-insurance.
To quote Mr. Walther again, “Since January, 1936, con-
struction cost insurance have been greatest in the Eastern
section of the country, ranging from 6 per cent for fire-re-
. sistive types of building to 12 per cent for frame joist con-
struction.
. Since January, 1933, however, the Western part of the
country registered some of the greatest increases, brick types
rising 34 per cent in cost, frame joist 33 per cent and fire-
resistive construction 31 per cent.”
Here is a timely warning, that should be heeded without
delay. As the old adage says, it is useless to lock the stable
door after the horse has escaped. It is a hard enough job to
replace destroyed property even when the fullest possible
insurance coverage is carried. If inadequate coverage is car-
ried, replacement may wipe out the savings of years, and
plunge you heavily into debt.
SPRINGTIME IS CLEAN-UP TIME
You can see signs of spring fever almost everywhere.
Farmers are plowing and sowing their fields. Suburbanites
are planting their gardens. Housewives are cleaning and re-
vamping homes. Communities are starting improvement
: projects.
© Winter is apt to be a time of general neglect—partly be-
cause of severe weather and partly because of the press of
other matters in that busy season. Vacant lots, yards and
even streets become unsightly. Now is the time for a
thorough spring cleaning, extending through the community,
.in the interest of health, safety and civic progress.
Such a clean-up campaign is a splendid activity for civie
clubs, chambers of commerce, Boy Scouts and similar groups
to sponsor, Every town should emulate those communities
+ which, through a spirit of fine cooperation, have succeeded
in gaining the name of “Spotlesstown.”
When a movement to paint up, clean-up
_sweeps a community, it leaves in its wake a healthier, hap-
..pier town. From the standpoint of fire safety alone, the
movement pays big dividends—as the records show, many a
~ disastrous fire has been caused by rubbish and litter. Drop a
" cigarette or a cigar butt into an accumulation of trash and a
conflagration may follow—furthermore, piled rubbish is al-
ways susceptible to spontaneous ignition.
= Carry out the clean-up campaign by carefully burning all
trash in incinerators and under close supervision. Every
_ citizen and every business will benefit—socially and econom-
ically.

There is real need for a breeding
program which will keep more
dairy sires in service until proved,

The real worth of a dairy bull lies

Frank Germer appeared before

ness to give 16 ft. or half the
width if council will open North
High street as far north as the Ed
Brubaker property. From that
point west Mr. Germer will give
enough land to open a 14-ft. al-
ley to North Barbara street. Coun-
cil accepted his proposition and
the land will be deeded to the
boro and the new street and alley
placed on the boro plan. An effort
will alse be made to see if the Dr.

Boro park for the Memorial Day |
program that evening. The reply |
was in the affirmative.
Upon motion council decided to
place a street light in the park,
put a meter and switches in the
stone building there and place per-
manent lights thruout the park for
future use.
Chairman Miller reported on his
inquiry for WPA funds toward the
erection of the addition for our
firemen. He was given to under-
stand that the year ends June 30
and all present money has been
alloted.
There was then a lengthy and
spirited discussion between the
Fire Company's representatives and
council relative to the addition.
At a recent meeting council en-
gaged John Greiner, local archi-
tect, to make plans which he did.
When these plans and estimated
cost were submitted they were too
expensive. Council asked the fire-
men to meet Mr. Greiner and el-
iminate wherever possible in order
to reduce the cost of the addition.
Monday evening Messrs. Ray
Myers and Charles Eshleman re-
ported that they consulted another
architect, a man connected with
the State Labor and Industry Dept.,
and that the cost of the addition
could be greatly reduced.
Mr. Myers asked council to de-
cide at this meeting whether or not
it will co-operate with the firemen.
His reply was, that as soon as the
approximate cost of same can be
learned, that body will decide.
Supervisor Smeltzer reported that
he was in need of a new 4-inch
fire plug, two pairs of rubber
boots and a boat. Same were or-
dered purchased.
The Street committee was in-
structed to purchase a small car
of road oil.
A resolution authorizing the pur-
chase of a plot of ground from the
Conestoga Transportation Com-
pany was passed.
Upon motion a Darling painting
machine for painting white lines
on streets was purchased.
