The Government has ended sup-
port of egg and potato prices, a
subsidy which cost taxpayers about |
8750 million.
That may give you an idea what
we must cough up to support pres- |
ent subsidies such as tobacco, and
wheat etc.
Makes one hate to think of it.

LEGALIZED POLYANDRY
Since World War II there is a
man shortage
natural, but the ladies over there
have the answer.
A group of Berlin women
gested a solufion to Germany's |
man shortage: Let wumen share the!
men via “temporary marriages” so
unmarried women can become le-
gal mothers and “save our ecul-
ture.”

One never realizes the serious
danger he or she may be in when
youre walking along on the side-
walk in any town, presumably in
the utmost safety. Elsewhere in
the Bulletin appears an article des-
cribing how the tire of a large
trailer truck fell off "a trailer
bounded across the sidewalk and
struck a building.
However, Dame Fortune
smiling and on a usually
was
busy
sidewalk, there wasn't a pedestrian
near the scene of the accident,
There could have been a man,
woman. children, even a number of
pecple in the path of that heavy
tire. Could this be a warning? Ev-|
en. if so, one NEVER knows when |
they are safe.

WHY AN EDITOR CALLS
HIMSELF “WE”
Why does an editor nse the word |
“We” in writing an editorial?
A Country Editor—is one
reads newspapers, selects
lany,
jobs, runs on errands, ets wood,
works in the
his patrons whe call,
time and ‘materials to satisfy his
hunger, or to enjoy the quiet of
nature's sweet restorer, sleep. andi |
himsel peculiarly
by seme unprincipled
who loves puppet shows and hires
the rabble with a treat of cider
brandy to vote him into some petty | i
office. A man who does all this |
and much more, not here recorded, |
vou will know must be a rather!
busy amimal: and as he performs |
the work of miany different persons,
lic may justly be supposed their |
. representative, and to have an in-
disputable right, when speaking of
himself, to use the plural namber, |
and fo say we om all oecasions and
in all places.

Mt Joy's Newspapers
By The Editor
The first newspaper
ed here was the Herald. The
ever print=

| and the first issue was printed in

by his son .John E. Hoffer. Along |
| about 1900 Uriah Hoffer, another
son, who was employed at printing
lin New York city, came to Mount
| Joy and assisted his krodher.
On December 28, 1907 the Mount
Joy Herald published this announ-
cement on its first page: “With this |

I have in my possession a num- |

from year to year. Also a copy of

The equipment changed

The Star and News
| This newspaper
hands
was started in
{ Mount Joy in 1869 by J. W. Stofer.
| When Mr. Stofér died the paper
| was continued by his widow and
later it was sold to Jacob R. Mis-
semer, of Milton Grove. Mr. Mis~ |
simer had quite a career, preceding
the Hearsts in syndicating
papers. After conducting the paper
| a short time he tried printing these
newspapers: The Mt. Joy Star and
news- |
News, Milton Grove News, Lan- |
{ disville Vigil, Bainbridge Banner, |
| Florin Item, and several others.
All were printed from the same |
type each week, the only change |
being the heading. Mr. Missemer |
later purchased the Steelton Advo-
cate,
He finally discontinued all the |
papers but the Star and News here. |
He died January 11, 1918. A short
