A WISE OWL
I don’t see how a week fies around
so quickly. Seems like I no soon-
er get throygh one weeks chores
and then it's time to start all over
again. Oh, well, it could be worse.

Freshman were studying
about stars, satellites, sun, light,
etc, and the teacher remarked:
“The light of the sun travels at the
‘rate of 330,000 miles a second.” And
Burton said. “Sure, it easy can. it’s
all down hill.”

You know, when I went ot school]
we had the honor system, but the
teacher had to cut it out. The teach-
ers had all the honor and we kids
had all the system.
East Hempfield annexed the Wes-
tern County High School basketball
championship when they defeated
Mount Joy in a closely contested
game by a score of 27 to 26 on the
latter's court Tuesday night.
Derr dropped through a twin-
pointer to put Coach Amos Herr’s
Hempfield lads out in front 25 to
23 with fifty seconds to play and
then Zink swished the cords with a
field goal for Mount Joy with ten
seconds to play to make the count

into over-time,

And now just one more about
the school kids and then we'll leave
them alone. In English class one
of the Scphs were asked to conju-|
gate the verb to swim and the an-
swer was: “Swim, swam swum.”
Then the teacher continued: “Now
conjugate the verb “to dim,” The
pupil thought it over a moment and
then asked: “Are you kiddin’?”

Mount Joy Bulletin
Dear Mr. Schroll:
I wish to express my deepest
appreciation for the Mount Joy
Bulletin which I am receiving each
week. It certainly is good to hear
what is going on back home and the
Mount Joy Bulletin covers every-
thing I may possibly wish to know.
Truly Yours,
RAYMOND T, RINEHART
Tucson, Ariz,
February 22, 1943
Dear Mr. Schroll:
Just a few lines to express my
appreciation for the news which
the Bulletin contains. Even though
I'm from Landisville previous to
my induction in the Army Air
Force, I can always find something
of interest in your paper.
As you see by my return address
on the envelope, I'm down here in
Arizona at the Maraha Air Base
working at the newly built Sub
Depot. I'm spending most of my
time working as a mechanic in
Engine change, and believe you me
it gets pretty hot under that sun
which really pours forth even in
February down here in Arizona.
If your interested in what kind of
planes we have here, this is a Basic
Flying Schcol and most of the
planes are the BT13 which really
can and does take the |punishment,
always new cadets coming in and
they really take a beating.
Although 7 did quite a bit of
traveling and my addresses changed
quite often, The Bulletin always
caught up with me. So again I
want to thank you for your trouble
in sending the news of Mt. Joy and
vicinity.
Yours truly,
PVT. JAMES S. KITNER
Camp Gruber, Okla.
To the Bulletin;
Dear Mr. Schroll:
I want to thank you for sending
the Bulletin to me. I have received

and it has certainly been apprecia-
ted.
It not only keeps us posted on the
happenings in Mount Joy, but
men’s” column, we can also learn
just what is happening to our fel-
low servicemen wherever they may
be.
Several months ago I was sur-
prised to read in the Bulletin that
an old friend of mine from Mt. Joy
was stationed just a few blocks
from me at the same Camp.
Perhaps others have had the same
experience?
I believe it would be greatly ap-
preciated if you could run a “sup-
plement” to the Servicemen’s col-
umn, containing the addresses of
those who have been called to the
Service from Mt. Joy and vicinity.
I'm sure a lot of us have lost con-
tact with many of our [friends from
town, simply because we don’t
know their whereabouts.
In closing I want to thank you
again for your weekly “letter from
home,” the Bulletin,
Sincerely yours,
LIEUT. LESTER KUHN

If I was giving 3 cheers to any-
body, I would not overlook this Vir-

say that a taxpayer's pocket has a

where it has a foot in the door, and
devote its time to fixing for a hay-
maker on Adolph.

telephone situation is
| CRITICAL
bh Your telephone system is over
crowded with urgent war calls. - Fol-
lowing these five suggestions will help
in relieving this crowded condition.

. Don’t make unnec-
essary calls,
. Be sure of the num-
ber before you call.
. Don’t cail “Informa-
tion’ if the number
is listed in directory.
. Be brief when you
do cail.
5. If you are on a party
line, be considerate
of the “other fellow”
— share the line
willingly.

We would like to add new equipment, new
lines to take care of this demand for more
and more service. But—the copper, lead,
steel and other materials used in the
making of telephone facilities are now be-
ing used for weapons of war. That is right,
SE : of course, but it does mean that we must
\ do the best we can with what we have.
We urge your co-operation.
