A team of young men from our high school romped away with the County Championship. Next they went to Harrisburg where them won the single and two the doubles championships, even battling once of among themselves for the former title. This week they are competing in a tournament at Wilmington, Del. We are proud of all these voung men and their in- structors, who deserve a lot of credit in developing real tennis players here year after year.

Liven though financial appeals for cash were quite numerous of late, you can always depend on this community doing ils share and then some when the occasion requires. It May Mean A Change Ever since our farmers have been growing tobacco, they sowed their seed for plants in the Spring. last Fall one farmer, Mr. Kopp, near Florin, tried Fall sowing and a second, Mr. Hauenstein, near Elizabethtown, by accident, made a similar experiment. Both discovered that Fall sowing produced finer, sturdier and a more uniform growth of plants. This may revolutionize the sowing of cause- tobacco sced. How Times Do Change ago the citizens and Boro of Middletown bed in its square. For many Many years erected a flag staff and flower years it was and still is a beauty spot. But times have changed. The motorist has replaced the horse and buggy and as a result one can no longer hesi- fate and enjoy the tulip beauty in Middletown’s square. That square is the intersection of Routes 230 and 240 and the State has decided to cut off at least six feet of each side of the flower bed or “circle”, The American Way “We must have not only government, but a change in its spirit. Government which regards itself as the people, not its master; a Government without prejudice, a overnment under which we can move forward again as a united nation—men of confidence, men of hope, men of good-will”.—Wendell L. Willkie. That statement is a timely warning to us to return to the fundamental principles of our tional form of government if we wish to retain liberty and opportunity as we have known them. As The Writer Sees It The nation is embarking precedented in its peace-time history. mentators are pointing out, there fense than simply appropriating planes and tanks and soldiers. No matier nation’s resources, an adequate defense structure be created overnight. And when a nation has long been accustomed to the ways of peace, it is an extremely difficult thing to adapt it to the ways of war. The defense program involves many as yet unanswered. First and by far the most important question is simply this: What are we going to defend? A military establishment sufficient to guard our territorial borders is one thing—a military establishment adequate to guard the Philippines, northern South America, Greenland, the British West Indies and other far flung places, is obvi- ously another. That question cannot be fully answered until it becomes completely clear who is going to be the winner in the European war. If the Allies win, we will have little to fear. If Germany wins (and it is apparent that our whole pending defense plan is based upon that grim possibility) the fate of the great British fleet will be the thing in which the United States has the most vital in- terest. Should that fleet fall into the hands of the dictators, our position will be dangerous indeed. For we do not possess a two-ocean navy. Ours, say the experts, is good enough to protect us in either the Pacific or the Atlantic, but not in both. And it would take many years to build a two-ocean fleet. That explains the widespread hope that if the Allies lose, the British fleet will be either scuttled or, better yet, sent to Canada, where it could work in coopera- tion with ours. Another question involves the role of labor in national a change in the technic of We must have a servant of the as a nation constitu- defense program But, the to national de- and un- com- on a as is more money for ships how great a cannot questions, some The Bulletin, Mount Joy, Lancaster County, Pd Safety Patrol Awards Are HAPPENINGS | LONG LONG AGO i ( 20 Years Ago | 33 Years Ago Roy Deiter is learning the art at Mount and granite works.

Strikes and similar difficulties, run this argument, cannot be allowed to throw the proverbial monkey wrench into the defense machine. There is a strong movement to revise present laws governing the number of hours a man can work. It takes skilled and willing hands to make the many things a modern army must have, believe that we have none many of them. Most of the unemployed are in the unskilled eategory. In fields, notably machine tool work, there is a definite shortage of good men.

We can no longer afford to have overlapping bureaus, divided responsibility, bickering and jealousy between officials. sary wasle of There can be no unneces- time and resources. One thing seems certain—the course of the Federal government, no matter who is elected president next No- vember, will be very different than in the past. Practically all the observers are convinced that domestic “reforms” will largely be shelved, and that the “left-wing” clement in government will be eased out of the picture. It will be necessary to discard or defer many of the New Deal objec- tives, they say, even if Mr. Roosevelt runs and wins again. In brief, it is felt in almost all circles that the government must in the future follow a relatively conservative course. The bloody events of ‘the past two months, curiously enough, seem to have reduced almost to the vanishing point the chance of our going to war in Europe. There are too many dangers confronting us here to take a chance on sending our warships and men abroad. This country does not want war and will not start war. Bul the whole country is wondering if and when war will come to us. 1 school Presented Nelson Alexander, captain of the, safety patrol here, was awarded the patrol medal at . the final assembly of the year Wedneés- day morning.

Today the finest tcbacco plants and the most uniform growth and set are those in the plot which were seeded last fall, the seed remain- ing in the ground over winter. The plants seeded this spring were de- scribed by County Agent F. S. Bucher, after a recent inspection, as “patchy”, in comparison with the fall seeding. Quite by accident Harry Hauen- ‘Liertch, § stein, Elizabethtown grower, made a similar discovery that tobacco] seed can survive a hard winter ly- ing dormant in the soil. Last fall while cleaning up he threw out behind a wood pile some tobacco seed along with a quantity of trash. This spring he discovered a growth of tobacco plants had sprung up around the spot. The above experiments are not expected to revolutionize toe to- bacco growing industry in Lancas- ter county, but they illustrate the point that individual growers by cooperating with research special- ists can add to the store of infor- mation towards growing a better crop. i ———— Fire Company (From Page 1) ternate delegate to the county sociation to succeed Peter Statha- polus, who recently moved from the borough.
