Mount Joy Authority are smart, they'll take
a good look at what is going on in Lititz
today. Lititz has a town full of ruts bumps There was no sleeping coming home on [regular check and make up the

and half-repaired streets.
As the Lititz Authority pointed out last
week, by not immediately repairing streets
after sewer trenches are laid and by per-
mitting the dirt to settle naturally, the Lit-
itz sewer system will cost approximately
$150,000 less than it would were the streets
returned to their former state immediately.
Whether such a plan and its inconveni-
ences, broken auto springs and damaged
tires, not to mention the griping of the pop-
ulace in general, is a good one can best
be judged by an on-the-scene study.
Building sewers is necessarily a mighty
inconvenient project for in so doing a town
must tear up every street within its bor-
ders. It takes a lot of fortitude and the firm
resolve on the part of everyone to ‘keep
cool” if it is to be attained without, too
much undue mental suffering.

Business Is Getting Beiter
At the beginning of the year we heard a
lot about business only shuffling along and,
according to more than one local retailer,
threatening to flop back into what looked
like a possibility of bad times.
Now, however, the businessman has a
smile back on his face as he tells you that,
even though the hot summer months
never are bustling, that things are really
looking up and that 1952 seems to be going
to end in a rush.
Frankly, most of us let the last few years
influence us too greatly and every time
business drops off a bit, we visualize bad
times returning. Go back a few years and
you will find that business was on a much
lower level, right here, too, than it is today.
And even if we flop back to something
a bit lower than the peak, there doesn’t
seem to be anything in the near future to
cause any serious worry.

A Guy We're Looking For
We can remember that last winter one
local fellow took a second look at the con-
dition of nature in general and then up
and predicted we’d practically have no
summer at all! Just a lot of cool breezes.
It’s too hot to go back over our files, but
we'd sure like to know what that fellow
has to say now. For up to now, we've had
more days in which the thermometers, in-
cluding the one on our back door, shot up
above ninety degrees, than any year since
1881—and the summer's only half over.
But talking about it just makes us feel
hotter! Pardon us while we run down the
street for a cool root beer!

Death On Chuckholes
Recent studies of municipal governments
indicate that American city dwellers pay
more than $80 million a year simply to
patch up the holes made by repair crews
working on under-pavement utility lines.
This kind of expenditure could often be
avoided with a little planning such as that
at the new Levittown, Pa.—a completely
planned community now being built in low-
er Bucks county near U. S. Steel's giant
Fairless Works.
The new town was planned down to the
last shrub by the community building firm
of Levitt & Sons, Inc. It includes the
thoughtful provision to lay water lines un-
der the lawns in front of homes and sewer
lines along the backyard property lines—
instead of under the streets.
This means Levittown’s 177 miles of
streets will stay put once they're down and
property owners—70,000 strong when the
community is finished in three years—will
save an estimated $42,000 a year.

Things To Come
Garages and service stations will be
interested in a new metal degreaser, said
to be particularly effective for cleaning elec-
trical accessories. The fluid is practically
odorless, dries quickly and leaves no sticky
residue . . . A “re-usable” non-melting ice
has been developed on the West coast for
dairy plants and shippers of perishable pro-
ducts. The “ice” is a mixture of water and a
processed powder. It can be frozen and
thawed over and over again without turn-
ing to liquid and can be molded into any
shape . . . A flat “wafer” electric motor is
available in ratings from 1/20th to 5 h.p.
. . . The latest automatic labeling machine
labels and heat seals the tops of bags . .. To
protect fabrics on display from fading, try
a new substance that con be sprayed on a
store window from a pressurized can. The
coating is clear but filters out harmful rays
of bright light. )

Now this week we have to go te Hershey
and see what the Auto Club has in store
for us. One thing we can count on though,
it'll either be hot or rain. Don’t forget to
look for me in the Old Mill. I'm on of those
spooky characters you see along the runway.

The Marietta St. hubby replied, “Who says

During World War II, Marines were pre-

I'm glad there is some corn growing in

When a new bride went into Krall's and
asked Shortie what cold boiled ham is, Dick,

Mr. Gleaton pointed out that
although nearly every family
receiving payments would re-
ceive an increase, the addition-
al amount would not always be
divided among all the members
of the family receiving monthly
checks. In some cases the entire
increase will go to the retired,
worker.
Under terms of the law, most
families will get an increase of
about $5; some will get less, |

1950 instead of after 1936. The}
amendment law provides a new!
formula for determining the a-
mount of the payments . in|
these cases. Under it, a retired
worker's monthly benefit would
be 55% of the first $100. of his
average monthly earnings plus
15% of the remaining up to
$300.
Jeginning September 1, the
new law will increase to $75 a
month instead of $50 the a-| gk
mount of money a beneficiary
may earn and still receive the
