Boy Scouts Will Collect Paper & ag: Siar, Sept. 22—Paper is Still Critical, Help Make This Drive A Success
A Suggestion for
The Opening Day
Of Our Farm Show
It has been suggested that as an added feature for the
opening day of Mount Joy's Annual Community Exhibit on
Thursday October 11, we hold a V-J Victory parade late that
afternoon and before dusk.
Inasmuch as we have had no real celebration marking
our great War Victory, the writer is in hearty accord with this
suggestion. On this occasion it will fill a two fold purpose.
Why not get the American Legion in conjunction with our
Service Clubs, to promote the proposition as the Exhibit directors
have their “hands full” arranging for the fair?
If the suggestion. meets with general approval, why not
get busy at once?
Think it over and then act.
