PSX Our Impression + + + What we thought this old burg of ours should have had years ago has at last come to pass—A MOVIE. Comparatively few people realize just how valuable such an enter- prise is to a community. Some folks object to movies for various reasons but the great ma- jority in almost every community favor them. A town of any consequence with- out this modern method of enter- tainment is as “bad off” as the man with a new automobile and no gas. During the past ten or more years, those who were movie minded went to Columbia, Marietta, Elizabethtown, Manheim or Lan- caster once a week at least, many several times. Surely when away they would treat themselves to refreshments. In that way the business places in towns visited, profited. Can you realize how our busi- ness men should and will profit in a similar manner as soon as our new movie is opened to the pub- lic? Walk up or down Main street any evening in the week and see how many cars are parked, then wait until this new movie opens, do the same thing and try and find a place to park. Time and time only will prove our assertion. E.

Saturday night three young men from Middletown duplicated the feat. They struck the same pole, rolled their car over on its side and badly wrecked it. Paul E.

Bridge At S On Monday workmen removed the foot bridge across both tracks at the Pennsylvania Railroad pass- enger station here. This bridge has been in use ever since the “cut” was made thru town for thirty years—and will certainly be missed by not only residents who lived south of the railroad at that point but by patrons of the railroad. Since Monday persons travelling east are not permitted to walk across the tracks, Passengers boarding trains, must get to the waiting room in the cut (after purchasing a ticket) by walking down Henry street to Marietta, thence up Marietta street across P. R. R. Removes Foot tation Here the bridge and down steps. If they choose they can go via the Market street bridge, thence down Done- gal street, thence down Marietta street and down the steps. It is just as inconvenient for passengers discharged from trains. Railroad employes are supposed to keep people from walking across the tracks. All pedestrians are trespassers and subject to arrest. This new proceedure is certainly a nice howdy-do for a concern which instead should be catering to the public. We thought the Pennsy learned its lesson when it lost so much (Turn to page 2) CELEBRATED THEIR 11th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Elam Bomberger entertained at a surprise party in observance of his wife’s birthday and their el- eventh wedding anniversaries last Wednesday at their home on Done- gal Springs Road.
