State May Take
Back Old Har'b’g
Concrete Highway
The State is slated to take back
the upkeep of nine miles of orphan-
ed Old Harrisburg Pike around
Landisville,
Such a move will be provided in
an omnibus highways bill which
will come before the State Legis-
lature sometime during the current
session.
Three townships in the area—E.
Hempfield, W. Hempfield and Man-
heim—threw up their hands in dis-
may last December when the State
renounced its title to the road and
declared it belonged to the town-
ships. That happened after the
Harrisburg pike was opened.
Saying they couldn’t maintain
the road, the three townships re-
fused to have anything to do with
it, which included not cindering it
in bad weather. That brought a
squawk from motorists who

County Girl Will
Go Abroad As a
Farm Youth Dele.
Miss Jean M. Singer, nineteen-
year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Paul B. Singer, Manheim R2, will
be the 1951 International Farm
Youth Exchange delegate from
Penngylvania.
Her appointment was announced
by Miss Yvonne Cook, home econ-
omics representative at the Agri-
cultural Extension Service.
Miss Singer will leave for Europe
in June and will return here late in
October. The country she will visit
will be announced later, Miss Cook
said.
The county girl, a student at
West Chester State Teachers’ Col-
lege, was selected from a number
of candidates on the basis of her
outstanding 4-H Club work and her
leadership of the youth in her com-
munity, Miss Cock said. Her nomi-
nation was confirmed in Washing-
ton.
The program was arranged to
permit farm youth from this coun-
try to spend three months abroad,
living and working with farm youth
there, while youth from that coun-
try visit the United States to ob-
serve the American way of life.
Expenses for Miss Singer's trip
will be paid from a fund to which
the Pennsylvania State Grange has
contributed $500; the Pennsylvania
Farm Bureau Co-operative Asso-
ciation, $100. Lancaster County also
will be asked to raise $300 to meet
the costs, Miss Cook said.

Threw Rock Thru
Plate Glass Door
At Acme Store
Evidently those residing in close
proximity to the Acme Store, Fast
Main street, haven't a care or wor-
ry in the world to keep them awake
or they are good sleepers.
Some time during Sunday night
someone threw a rock about twenty
inches long, nearly a foot wide and
about five inches thick thru one of
the large plate glass windows of the
front double doors. It was not dis-
covered until Mr. Charles Buck-
nauer, opened the place for busi-
ness Monday morning.
Chief of Police Park Neiss, who
investigated, thinks the burglar was
an itinerant. A careful check by
the store manager revealed nothing
inside the store disturbed but the
coffee display counter. It was ap-
parent the man scooped up an arm=
ful of one-pound cans containing
coffee, as several cans were drop-
ped as he made a hurried exit thru
the broken door, police said.
As far as could be learned there
was nothing else disturbed thruout
the store. Usually when places are
entered by burglars, cigarettes are
taken in quantity but from all in-
dications not one carton was re-
moved from the display stand
which the thief passed on his way
in and out the store.

It takes money to provide servi-

declared. The amount needed in-

able to reach more children and
adults constantly and because, like
everything else, costs of our servi-

The more deeply we get into our
work for the handicapped and the

see they need.
