You can talk about your movie
stars all you please, here's a case
where a native of our boro, with-
out any ambition, or desire in that
direction, became so popular that
he was on the screen almost over
night.
When one considers the many
who are so desirous and ambitious
to become movie stars, even
though they must begin at the
very bottom, work day after day,
week after week, month after
month and year after year and
finally one out of the many lands
a job.
We have heard it said that many
even work long before they even
get an interview. But in this par-
ticular case the subject of this
sketch, instead of going after the

job the movie people went after
him.
Well, we've had you in suspense
long enough so here's the dope.
Last week President Roosevelt
called about half a dozen of the
heads of the largest automobile
industries to Washington for an
interview. A news reel of their
arrival at Washington was shown
in the larger cities and all Mount
Joy folks who attended the Col-
onial Theatre at Lancaster. Satur-
day were agreeably surprised to
cee a young man born and raised
in Mount Joy head that list,
namely, Kauffman T. Keller, presi-
dent of ithe Dodge Motor Co.
Foliowing Mr. Keller was Edsel
Ford and the others were grouped.
We were delighted to see you

When Lancaster County dealers
begin to advertise pea, stove and
nut coal at only one dollar diff-
erence in price, we know times
have changed.

ea
IT IS RUMORED

We mentioned this fact to a
dealer in our locality and he is
under the impression that ere long
all sizes of coal will sell at the
same price. Here’s the reason:
Years ago pea coal sold at $3.00
per ton while stove and nut
brought $9 and $10. Only certain
classes could afford to burn the
more expensive coal but since
the introduction of blowers and
stokers, these same people can
and do burn a much cheaper
grade than pea, while many have
taken to oil burners.
This leaves very little demand
for the larger sizes and we know
of a colliery which mines coal and
grinds them to the pea coal size,
claiming that it doesn’t pay to
bother with the larger sizes.
As a result buckwheat, which
formerly sold at $2 with little
demand, today sells for from $5 to

YEARS
Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Greenawalt,
of Harrisburg, were the honor
guests at a family dinner on Sun-
day in celebration of their Golden
Wedding anniversary.
The dinner was served by Ca-
ter Eli Hostetter at his home on
Barbara St.” The table decorations,
in keeping with the occasion, were
very beautiful in gold and white.
A most unusual occurance, was
the fact that among the dinner
guests was Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Strickler, of near town, who will
celebrate their fiftieth wedding
anniversary on December 4th, 1938.
Mr. and Mrs. Strickler and Mr.
and Mrs. Greenawalt are the re-
spective parents of Mr. and Mrs.
Martin Strickler, of town.
In attendance at the dinner to
bestow their well wishes and con-
gratulations on the happy couple
were Mr. and Mrs. William
Strickler, Mr. and Mrs, Martin
Strickler, town; Mr. and Mrs.
Owen P. Greenawalt, New Cum-

Mrs. Howard D. Greenawalt, Mr.
and Mrs. Carl Runkel, Mr. and
Mrs. Wayne Hivner and Rev. and

and Mrs. Mary Brandt, of Lan-
caster.
Quite impressive was the dupli-
cation of the wedding ceremony
as performed fifty years ago, before

May we join with the couple’s
many friends in this locality in
extending our belated congratula-
tions.
