Columbus is rightfully listed as an adventurer. He had courage and persistence and figith to. bring him his discovery and then fate twrmed him back to his country to make of him a prisoner who died in his jail. This nation that was thought to be India in 1492, has come a long ways. Today our men are adventuring to the lands of the early explorers, are equally as cour- ageous and persistent and faithful. They well know the world is not flat, but many of these Americans kave never been outside of their na- tive state to see whether this fact is true. These lads of ours have charts, maps and instruments of the finest, to steer them on their course. They are in modern ships and manned by 2 skillful crew. They are tasting of as daring adventure as any Colum- bus. There are men scrving who are as old as Columbus in 1492, but for the mest part our adventurers are youths. They see new lands with the eyes cf the young. Character is not a standard of years, as anyone can tell you. ee 0 TIME TO ENCOURAGE SURPLUSES When the tankers on the Atlantic coast were cut off by war, everyone could understand why gasoline and fuel oil had to be rationed in that area, espceially when our armed furces across the Atlantic had to be supplied from the Eastern seaboard. But. what the public cannet un- derstzx:d is that when it is a matter of record that our crude oil supplies are being used several times as fast as new sources are being discovered, a Federal pelicy is maintained of poscible. return does not justify risk of preduction. It is one thing to hold prices to a to held them at unreasonably low levels when all costs of production, taxation, have been advanced to record high levels. It hes . often been necessary to grant wage and price increases to meet changing conditions. That does not mear uncontrolled inflation. In- stead, it means encouragement of production which increzses supplies. about those IN THE SERVICE ‘land to all those others Ffe. James B.

Sept. 30, 1949 Las Vegas Dear Mr. Schroll: After having received the Mount Joy Bulletin free for the past three years, I think it is about time I ex- press my appreciation for sending us’ service men the home town pa- per. When I express my apprecia- tion I think that also goes for all the other local service men that have been receiving the paper. Some times this life gets awful dull and tiresome, and makes a fellow wish he was back home, and having all the good times he once had. Then along comes the Bulletin with all the news of the folks in the locality that was once your home, and up goes your morale to a high- er percenage than it was before reading all the news. Thank you so very much for send- ing me the Bulletin, and I wish you and all your staff the best of luck throughout; these trying times and throughout all the years after peace has come. Just keep. buying War Bonds and stamps and hope that all of us can come home some day and live in the peace that rightfully be- longs to us as Americans. S. Sgt. Lloyd Z. Geibe September 28, 1943 The Bulletin, Mt. Joy: Dear Sir, I deeply regret that I have not sent yeu sooner, my thanks and deepest appreciation for sending me the Mount Joy Bulletin. The two things a soldier enjoys most to read, are his letters from home and the home town paper. The Bulletin keeps me posted on all the home town news and hap- penings.
