EDITORIAL OWNS 71,000 HOMES The Federal government is definitely in the homeowning business. It owns 71,000 homes scattered from one end of the coun- try to the other. Title to the homes was acquired through foreclosure un- / der HOLC mortgages. WHAT A DIFFERENCE Any one passing over Main street any evening since the gpening of the new movie, we feel certain was given a big rprise. To see so many cars parked here nightly gives our town quite a boost. NOW is the golden opportunity for our business men. Keep your display windows lighted and show these many newcomers to our town just what you've got. Better still, start advertising and keep it up, thereby telling those same people all about your stock and your prices. Getting customers to town is half the business battle. Sell- ing them is not so difficult thereafter, particularly if you have the right merchandise and the right prices. Remember Mr. Business Man, now its entirely up to you. THE WORLD'S CLEANEST MILK The American dairy farmer can claim, without exaggera- tion, that he provides the world’s cleanest milk. For more than 20 years, a national war has been waged gainst bovine tuberculosis. Today that war is drawing to a ose, with the “enemy” almost completely routed. Bovine berculosis exists on a substantial scale in only two of the states, and the curative work is progressing rapidly in h of them. Dairymen are now turning their attention to two other line diseases While these ments are of little consequence to the consumer of milk, by are of considerable moment to the farmer. It is be- red that the diseases will be almost completely eradicated a relatively brief time. The war against bovine plagues, especially tuberculosis, s been conducted by government bureaus, farm organiza- The American consumer can be as- mastitis and Bang's discase. ns and other groups. red that nowhere else in the world could he obtain dairy products of a more sanitary nature than in this country. - - DEATH BEGINS AT FORTY A little booklet, “Death Begins at Forty,” in which it is pointed out, that underlying reasons for America’s horrify- ing automobile accident record in 1937 were “too much speed and too little courtesy.” “According to the booklet, statistics show that if one has an accident while driving under forty miles an hour there is on- ly. one chance in forty-four that somebody will be killed, but il the accident comes while one is traveling faster than forty, ere is one chance in nineteen that somebody will be killed. briy-thousand-three-hundred persons met death in traffic last year. Nearly forty per cent of these fatilities were directly traceable to speed, and ninety-seven per cent of drivers involved in fatal accidents had had one or more years pf driving experience—in other words, they should have nown better. The driver guilty of speed and discourtesy on the highway a potential murderer—and should be treated as such upon \ simply a Common discourtesy is usually apprehension. mark of ignorance, but when applied to the fast driver it is a mark of manical disregard of human life. No amount of “Syire-pulling” should allow such a person to escape punish- ment. * Laws in themselves cannot instill common sense and chiv- alry in a road hog—only fear and respect for the law will do that; and rigid; impartial enforcement is the club to use. MASTERPIECE OF DESTRUCTION _ The safety argument for the train length bill (a Federal measure to restrict freight trains to 70 cars) has not a leg to stand on, and anyone can see .that the operation of more strains and the employment of more train crews will increase the cost of railroad transportation. In the end, those ship- who bought rail transportation would have to pay for extra trains and crews. The Interstate Commerce Commission has issued reports ing the experience of many years, proving beyond qtes- that longer trains are safer trains. Equally important, are faster, more efficient trains. The passage of the Ir train limit bill would not only add to the hazards of pad operation and cost of service, but it would adverse- fect all shippers, especially farmers. ‘example, due to longer and faster trains, the fruit | Fin California is three days nearer the Eastern Sea- than a short time ago, and two days nearer the great | HAPPE ' MOUNT JOY BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, LANCASTER CO.

It will be called “‘Forefathers” Day" as part of a three-day celebration— April 7th, 8th and 9th—throughout the State. Three hundred years ago, on April 8th, 1638, a hardy band of pioneers, led by Peter Minuit aboard the good ship Kalmar Nyckel, four months out of Gothenberg, Sweden, landed on these shores. They called their colony New Sweden. This was the foundation of Pennsylvania civilization. Towns and cities throughout the State will hold school exercises, parades, air shows, ‘‘Forefathers’ Day’’ luncheons and dinners. We cordially invite our friends from other States throughout the Nation to participate. In Philadelphia there will be a giant three-day celebration, climaxing on Saturday, April 9th, at 9:00 A.M. with a monster parade of Federal, Military and Naval forces; the entire Penna. National Guard under General Shannon; Police and Firemen; Patriotic, Civic and Fraternal organizations and School groups; all to be reviewed by Governor Earle and the 300th Anniversary Commission. Following will be a thrilling iircraft demonstration by Natiodal Guard, State, Army and Navy planes. Plan right now to help Pennsylvania do honor to the noble band of Swedes who founded it. Either join with your local com- munity or plan a trip for this great Anniversary. Thirty thousand miles of glorious, modern highways, throughout scenic and historic Pennsylvania stretch out before you. Come by Motor, by Train, by Bus. An old-fashioned welcome awaits you.
