Farm Show To Surpass All
Others; New Features Added;
Larger L Lot For Exhibits
School Project To Be
Five Times Greater
Than Other Years
A Farm Show that will sur-
pass all others, was the decision
of the directors of the Farm
Show at a meeting held last
Monday evening at the Mt. Joy
Farmers Dairy.
The matter of the
list and prizes was one of the
main topics. It seems that
there will be an increase in the
classifications and prize money,
however, this is tentative and
js subject to the review by the
County Extension Service.
The school project will
approximately five times
premium
be
as
large as previously but this in-
creased project depends on
whether the committee is able
to find sufficient space. Paris
Gruber and Curvin Martin were
named a committee to find a lo-
cation for the school and art
work.

Return To
United States
From Far East
After spendihg seven months
in the Far East operating with
units of the UN naval forces,
the aircraft carrier USS Philip-
pine Sea hds returned to the
United States.
Serving aboard her is John
M. Walters, airman, USN, son
of Mr. and Mrs. William S. Wal-
ters of 20 David St., Mount Joy,
Penna. and Everett E. Bender,
aviation machinist's mate 3rd
class, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Alva G. Bender of 102 N. Bar-
bara Street, Mt. Joy.
During her time in the Far
East the Philippine Sea sent her
Panther jets, Skyraider attack
bombers and Corsair fighter
bombers on daily strikes a-
gainst Communists supply and
communication lines.
In addition to the “line-cut-
ting” and “rail-splitting” mis-
sions, the pilots concentrated on
gun emplacements, troops, sup-
ply areas, factories and ware-
houses, destroying anything of
possible use to the enemy.
As a parting shot at the Com-
mies, planes from the Philip-
pine Sea, and three sister car-
riers hit the strategic hydro-el-
ectric plants along the Yalu riv-
er and throughout North Korea.
With Navy, Marine, and Air
Force jets flying cover, Philip-
pine Sea planes delivered a
stunning blow at the Red's pow-
er systems.
