For a Trip West
Can you picture a pair of eighty-

trip from here to Wyoming, Oregon
and Washington? Well that’s exact-
ly what Daniel Brandt, Elizabeth
town R1 and Abram Weaver, of
Landisville decided to do and they
really meant it. Last Saturday they
boarded a train at Lancaster and
now they are journey bound.
Both these men are very well
known locally. Weaver is a native
of Florin where he was employed
as a section man for the Penna.
Railroad. Later he moved to Lan-
disville where he has been living
ever since, having been retired as
a track foreman twenty years ago.
But his retirement didn’t stop him.
In winter time he works in a ware-
house and during the Summer
months he works outdoors.
Brandt was a resident of East
Denegal for many years. He re-
sided at Donegal Sorings and was
employed on the Cameron farms

Wooden Nickels Go
Into Circulation Friday
Wooden nickles will go into cir=
culation Friday morning, May 11.
The nickles were distributed to the
stores and banks and are ready for
circulation at this time. There will
be three denominations of these
21> by 4 inch wooden coins; 1
nickel, 2 nickels, and 5 nickels.
Each has a different picture of a
face and a discription of the coin
on the back.
The coins are to. be used as leg-
al tender by all citizens of the
borough from May 11 through May
28, noon. After this time, they are
only good as souvenirs. No broken
coins will be redeemable.
If there is any merchant in
town who has been missed, he may
get in touch with Centennial
Headquarters or Robert Reed, who
is the chairman of the wooden nic=-
kel committee. It is the thought of
the committee that every Mount
Joy citizen keep in mind that
to keep the money in
circulation will mean the success
of the project. The coins are good
as money that one gives to the
| merchant as well as money he re-
| ceives from the merchant. Don’t
forget, keep the coins circulating.
Personal Mention
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bindi and
children, Carolina and Franklin’ of
Trenton, N. J., recently visited Mrs.
Bindi's grandfather, Mr. William
Sheaffer and Mr. and Mrs. Samy
| Hershey, of town.
