Schroll, Editor and Publishes Subscription Price $1.50 Per Annum Bix Months.............75 Cents Three Months..........40 Cents Single 3 Cents Sample Copies............. FREE The subscription lists of three other newspapers, the Mount Joy Star and News, the Landisville Vigil and the Florin News were merged with the Bulletin, which makes this paper’s circulation practically double that of the average weekly. Entered at the Postoffice at Mount Joy, Pa., as second-class mail matter under the Act of March 3, 1879. EE es mit THE EDITOR’S VOI CE The railroad strike certainly put a dent into the few coal that are be- ing mined. Then colliers can’t ship the few they have—no empties and no transportation. ® ® 0° Our soldiers and sailors certainly put Hitler and the Japs in their | place, making them say “Uncle”. They can do the same thing to the strikers, if told to. ® ® 0 A survey at Washington, D. C. discloses that living costs have in- creased 50 percent. since 1939. That's pretty tough on the average family’s budget. ® 00 Elizabethtown has opened a new parking lot. Mount Joy did that a number of years ago for the con- venience of patrons of our boro business places. ® oo 0° Morticians are now on strike and there is difficulty in obtaining cas- kets. Have we gotten to the point that we must bury our dead wrap- ped in burlap instead of the usual casket? ! ® 0 Lewis. and Murray, two Ameri- cans, (at least: they claim to be) have accomplished more than | France and Germany were able to do. These two labor leaders not only slowed things up but they Stopped industry almost completely. | : ® 0 Europeans and Asians. In these a stated course that is hate- ful to them, for the rest of their lives. Many will be leading citizens before too long, others will never be heard from after the commence- ment program. We may not be graduating many geniuses here, but the majority of our young people are fitted to find their way through an adult life that offers pitfalls for even the most bril- liant of minds. The world of jobs is a hard-working, enterprising so- ciety which needs new blood and fresh talents of graduates. The step {ahead is into a competitive field where men of all levels meet. We, in Mount Joy are proud eof the fine young folks who represent this community in the occupations they {undertake. Whether garege mech- anie, electrician’s kelpers, grocery clerk, honest endeavor, the chance to accomplish worthwhile work on cne's own, is rich in reward in whatever job. So step forward, i graduates, and bravely assume your charge of manhood. ® MEMORIAL DAY Each year the ranks thin as flow- ers and tears mingle to decorate the mound on another Memorial Day. : This holiday has a historical foun- dation and commemorates the love cof man for his country, that he give his life that his belief shall endure. { War has preven that love and hate, as depicted by this memorial service for those killed in battle, has not!

The heroes of the col- the shipment of these foeds with the 'gnial days to those who are in uni- Axiom—Let ‘em Starve, Let ‘em | Starve. ® 0 The heighth of nonsensicai fool- ishness was heard over our radio yesterday morning when a guy sang: “Happy Days Are Here A-| gain.” With the country in the midst of coal, steel, automobile, lumber, railroad and other strikes, just what is there to be happy about? ® ® 0 You may say what you want a- bout the “dumbells in the country”, there's a lot of “em just as smart as the “city slickers.” Here's an il- lustration. A chap at Lancaster ap- proached a farmer for butter. The farmer told him he would give him all the butter he wanted for one dollar. With the present butter scarcity staring him in the face, it sounded too good to be true, so he gave the farmer the dollar. Next day he found a male goat tied in his back yard. ® 0° The full cost to the nation of the two-day railroad strike will never be known. Government and railroad author- | ities said Sunday that it would be impossible to compile an accurate total of losses due to the tie-up end- ed Saturday night because of the many of the items that would not be reported. They agreed that the greatest money loss ‘would be in wages to] workers, on the railroads themsel- ves, and in industries shut down be- gause of the strike. \ : eee ¥' COMMENCEMENT TIME Schoelhouses close their doors for the summer vacation as hundreds of thousands of children welcome a wacation. High schools and colleges hold commencement services to graduate students into many bran- ches of service. They will be soon seeking employment where waiting yooms are already crowded to ca- pacity. The oldtime address prom- ise of golden opportunities right at band. do not hold true for today’s graduate. The way is rugged and the seeker finds the waiting irksome the conditions too unequal. Energy and intelligence with diploma in hand is not all that is needed. Pa- tience is necessary in this day. Ed- ucation, in its fullest sense, brings a valuable training, but exercising much of the knowledge may take time, until the job for which the graduate is especially suited, comes plong. Some will think less of their | | | | | v form teday, have dedicated them- selves to defense of their country. In every struggle Mount Joy and the surrounding communities have furnished their quota of defenders | Today, many of them rest in hero's graves. The tender thoughtfulness {we display upon Decoration Day is {a gesture of respect for their great- ness. Might we not sit in forum with nations and definitely bring a hope for the young cf America that they may live in a world dedicated to loyalty and liberty? The parade and eulogy that attends May 30, the flowers and tears that attest to the sobriety of the occasion, the brass band and prayers that chant of democracy, freedom, are nothing without confidence in brotherhood, unity and cencert of action among nations. Indifference makes a dead thing of the monuments to sacrifice. A ieee NEWTOWN Mr. Howard Witmer, Harrisburg visited Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Witmer on Sunday Mrs. Ida Isenberger of Mt.

But this does not indicate a happy family ar- | rangement, for the visitors often | eat the young prairie dogs; and al. | though the prairie dogs eat only | grass, they destroy the young owls | and sometimes bury the rattlesnakes | alive. { Devil Trap A pattern of loops, supposed to en- | tangle the feet of the devil if he tried to enter the premises, was chalked on the doorsteps of houses and shops in provincial England as| late as 1860. Even today, one of these ‘‘devil traps’ may be seen in the west entrance of the great Ely cathedral, where it was inlaid in the floor several hundred years ago. Wax Worm There are two different species of moths known as wax moths, the larvae or caterpillar stages of which live on or in the wax deposited by the honey bee. So far as is known, the worms or larvae of these moths never attack woolen materials but | live only on the wax produced by the honey bee.

Keep the bed dry and free from lumps, wrinkles and crumbs. Growing Desert Our falling water table, dried up springs, man-made dust bowls, and abandoned cattle ranges may be early symptoms of the same things | that turned ancient garden spots into | deserts. Vaccinate Dogs Dogs on the farm, as well as those elsewhere, should be vaccinated against rabies once a year, as any animal that is bitten by a rabid dog may contract the disease. Chicken Range Better results are obtained when hens are given a restricted range which is rotated, cultivated or disked, and planted to green feed at regular intervals. Turkish Towels Turkish towels should not be ironed, according to home econom- ics experts. Ironing mats the loops, may break the fibers, and cuts down absorbency. Tile Floors Tropical Favorites Tile, because it is unaffected by termites, is widely used for floor- ing in homes in warm or tropical climates. Leached Plant Food Leached plant food is the part that percolates down through the soil and is lost by way of underground waters.
