There are a lot of drivers who drive in a log most of the time, that is, a mental fog. fly, have a nole on your To make the winter really house that falls due in April. There should be a law passed that you can’t start a new war until you have paid for your old one. Local Chamber of Commerce please take notice. A rolling mill is making an effort to locate at Middletown and a large cigar factory at Lilitz. We hope Mount Joy can land a new induslry as it has been some time since we have been benefited industrially by a new or additional plant. Help At Home Each has answered in his own way, the general appeal to assist in the local drives for community welfare work. We should be concerned about the pitiable state of health and living that is not so far from our doors but that we can * hear the calls for help. To those cries from lands abroad we are being heedful and supporting. But we must re- member that winter will be equally hard on our own un- fortunates who will be as cold and as hungry. Those about our community who are ill and discouraged will need pro- tection and contributions. Many have been the calls made upon our purses and on our time. Sometimes we stop to question and halt to consider personal limited means but there will be a way to protect those within our gates, for as they say, “that is the American way”. 1941 Autos The Bulletin, Mount Joy, Lancaster County, Pa., Thursday Morning, November 7, 1940 LONG ar ~ AGO 20 Yess Aco | L Perey Heilig has taken a posi- | tion at Jos Hershey's tonsorial shop The new La France fire engine has | arrived here.

There are; shining models that already grace the streels of our boro. As well as appealing fo the eye they have added features for | safety which appeals to the better judgment. Auto engin- cers have surely done wonders in protecting us from our- selves with the installing of greater glass area both front] and sides, sealed-beam lighting for night riding, special lights for fog, extra signal lights, new widths in seating arrangements, all-steel bodies and new type frame struc- tures, improvements in safety glass, eliminating of shock to the steering wheel, new sort of tires for wet pavements, special kind of air-conditioning and so on. We should leave much of this to some salesman who will delight in giving you the dope first handed. Forward, Potatoes As most of us already know, Germany produces almost ten times the average U. S. potato crop. Being the world’s largest producer she has turned attention to utilizing this potato for something else besides eating and has put it to a test for industrial purposes. Germany consumed about 30% of the crop for food, 15% to seed, 38% for feeding live stock and 10% lossage. The remainder they are trying { the | Es : mer, Carl Witmer, John W.

In our first meeting in Texorkana, Tex. and Ark. The post office is one half in Texas and one half in Ark. with the city the same also as the post office. It is a city of about 40,600. When we were in Denver, and Colo Springs, Colo., I had the privilege of walking up Pike’s Peak, 14,150 ft high. I closed my meeting at Colo Springs on a Sunday Evening and the resident minister asked me if I wanted to take a hike up the Peak that rises up above the clouds with it’s bore and lonely Peak. So we left at midnight and hiked 61% miles with sometimes a 28 per- cent incline. We arrived at the summit in 7% hours with us walk- ing on the cog-train trail between of snow on thc 1st. of June. On the last mile we had to lie down every few yards and get more strength to proceed. It was 30 de- grees on the top and a heavy cloud- ed sky and very windy. Later we visited, Salt Lake city, to me, one of the most beautiful cities of the West. You can read of its history in the book called, “The Epic of Lion.” As we looked at The great mormon Temple and the Tabernacle with the great organ which probably you all have heard 3 fl overthe radio broadcasts. Later on when we were in El Paso we visited for our fourth ‘time old Mexico, having been over the border in So. Calif. and in Arizona twice When In El Paso we crossed the border at Juarez, Mexico and we paid $35 to visit the jaoil and it is the worst sight I ever witenessed relative to penal institutions. It was filthy and dirty and the inmates were dressed poorly while others were crippled dule to try- ing to escape due to trying to es- cape and being shot off the wall. _ There is no death sentence given in old Mexico regardless of the crime, thus life sentence is the worst they There is a wall 20ft high and if you make a move teward the top you will be shot or even killed. Many of Mexico's worst bandits have been held there. It used to be the stronghold of Pancho Villa Mexico's worst bandit and killer who held it for a long time until he was caught in Southern Ari- zona and shot. We also visited the town of “Tembstone, Ariz.” To me ong of the spookiest and deadest towns America. It called Tombstone because of it's name for murders in the days of the Old West Many bandits and killers have been caught there as it was such a hang out of there class. To be Sheriff there, meant they would die with their “boots on”, a sign reads on the town limits, “The town that’s too tough to die” and “where all men that shot too late died with their Out the hill there is a cemetery cut out of rock where all these “bad men” are buried.
