THE EDITOR'S VOICE
It isn’t the man who knows the most, but the man who
knows the best, that’s wisest.

Today, Thursday, May 30th, is Memorial Day—May it
be a memorial occasion to all.

Diesels ! Diesels! More Diesels !
Monday evening Boro Council invited Diesel engineers
here to suggest practical hook-ups for pumping the boro’s
water supply, with economy in mind.
After listening thru several hours of explanations and
suggestions, Council at least got a good idea of what it is
all about.
The majority of the representatives were a unit on the
approximate cost of operation, while there was a difl'erence
in the cost of installation.
Council and the Boro Engineer will now weigh the evi-
dence and then decide upon its next move.
The Good Old Days
Many who brag on the good old days, the horse and
buggy days, forget that a part of the good old horse and
buggy days were mud roads, no telephones, few bath tubs,
no rural delivery, no parcel post, no radios, no airplanes,
people with appendicitis died, there were no automobiles,
no picture shows, no one swatted flies, there were no mech-
anical refrigerators, hospitals were few and far between.
When the doctor was wanted some one had to go after him
and he had to drive to his case in a horse and buggy.
Some of the advantages of the horse and buggy days
which, however, did offset the disadvantages, were cream
at 5 cents a pint, 6 loaves of bread for a quarter, the butch-
er made no charge for liver, shaves were ten cents, there
were few traflic accidents, few foreclosures, little unem-
ployment, few bank failures, few operations, no Hitler, no
Communists, and no dictators.
We're Still Watching
The United States still watches bloody Europe. But,
in the view of statesmen and foreign experts, we should be
keeping a closer eye on the Far East. For there is the most
immediate threat to American peace and security.
Hitler's invasion of Holland brought with it a situation
that the State Department has long expected and dreaded.
Within reach of Japan are the rich Dutch East Indies, prin-
cipal source of the world’s supply of tin and rubber. The
Indies could not be defended by the small Dutch navy and
garrison slationed there, and Britain and France are too
busy elsewhere to protect them. They would make a rich
prize for ambitious Japan, and would immensely increase
her economic and military prestige. So, say the military
men, if Japan makes a grab for them, it will be up to us
to stop her,
Secretary Hull has sent strong warning notes on this
subject to Nippon. And the Japanese position, as expressed
by her Premier, has been that of satisfaction at the mainten-
ance of the status quo. But the Indies are still a danger spot.
To Our 44 Graduates
Next Tuesday evening a
ladies and gentlemen will receive their diplomas for having
graduated from the Mount Joy High School. They com-
prise the fifty-sixth class to have successfully passed thru
class of forty-four young
our local educational institution.
To these voung women and men who are now embark-
ing on the sea of life we offer a bit of advice. First: They
are indebted to their parents and teachers for making their
success possible up to this point. In return they can and
should show their gratitude to Mother and Dad by going
out and “Making Good.”
Miss or Mister Graduale you now on
Don’t wander around like a lost sheep. Decide now that
Choose a vocation and stick
are your own.
vou will make a mark in life,
to it.
The late County Superintendent, Hon. M. J.
once said, “Any one can succeed if he or she has plenty of
sticktoitiveness.”
We sincerely hope and wish each member of the class|
unbounded success and year after year when that report is
read at the annual meeting of the Alumni Association,
nothing but the best can be said of each of you.
This same advice goes lor all the high school graduates
thruout this entire community.

Fxtensive preparations for the
handling of traffiic during the day
have been made by the traffic and
parade route committee of which
Clarence Schock is chairman.
The Secretary of Highways and
the Borough have issued permits
making it possible to have East and
West Bound Traffic of Route No,
230 bypass Main Street during the|f
time of the parade on Memorial
Day. Maps have been distributed
shows the route of parade in
ORANGE color and the route of de-
tour for East and West Bound Traf-
fic in BLUE color.
The Burgess of Mount Joy Boro
has issued an order that there shall
be no parking on streets used for
parade and streets used for detour
of through traffic from 1:00 P. M.
Daylight Time until end of parde
The Burgess requests also that all
rosidents of Mcunt Joy shall keep
ticir automobiles in their garage
from 1:60 P. M. Daylight Time, un-
til end of parade so that visitors may
have room to park on streets other
than parade and detour streets. Open
spaces where parking is permitted
will be marked. No parking per-
mitted on alleys. On streets where
parking is permitted the center must
be clear so that fire engines can
move in case of fire.
“No Parking” signs will be posted
on parade and detour streets by or-
der of the Burgess in accordance
with an ordinance passed by Council
on May 1, 1939. There is a state
law which imposes a fine of Ten
Dollars ($10.00) on any person who
parks on a street where an official
sign forbids such parking.
We assume that all residents of
Mount Joy Boro will obey the order
and request of the Burgess. We
need as many citizens as possible to
help us to inform visitors how and
where and where not to park. A
polite request and reminder of the
law when necessary will do more
than vigorous police power.
We need volunteers living on the
route of parade to actively help to
keep the streets clear from curb to
curb so that the paraders will have
a good chance to show what they
can do. We need volunteers living
on the route of detour to actively
help us to keep the detour free from
parking so as not to interfere with
the movement of east and west
bound through traffic. If you are
willing to help, your assistance will
be appreciated.
Prior to 3:00 P.M. Eastern Day-
light Saving Time the parade will
form on North Market St. and at
3:00 P. M. Eastern Daylight Saving
Time will move SOUTH on Market

STOP THIEF!
Tuberculosis may steal a few
months’ pay. It may take years of
health. It even takes life.
If discovered EARLY tubercu-
losis usually can be cured. When
treatment is started LATE it may
take years to overcome.
The advice of medical men is:
Don’t wait until you feel tired
all the time, until you have lost
weight, until you have a cough
that hangs on and on, or until
indigestion bothers you. When
you start ailing, tuberculosis
may be advancing. You should
find out before you get into
trouble,
Go to a good doctor while you |
feel in good health. Get an X-ray
of your chest to find out if you
have tuberculosis. The X-ray
will show it before YOU know it.
