To Stop Fast
Driving In School Zones
15 Mile Seed Limit
To Be Rigidly Enforced
If you don’t want a red tick-
el, watch your speed when driv-
ing in the school zones. Chief of
Police Parke Neiss announced
today that an extensive drive is
underway to stop all drivers
who do not observe the 15 mile
speed limit in the school zones.
This drive is necessary, stated
Chief Neiss, for the reason that
during the vacation period the
15 mile zone was not enforced
due to the fact the kiddies were |
not in school, but now that
school has started, many driv-
ers seemed to have formed
habit of continuing over the 15
mile limit.
This is especially noticeable
among those who work at the
Marietta Depot. Chief Neiss
stated that those who are em-
ployed out of town and whose
route takes them in the 15 mile
limit zone, should allow for the
slower speed limit by leaving
home a few minutes earlier. By
doing this a person, in all prob-
abilities, will save themselves a
fine.
District Hard Hit
By Mondays Storm
The P. P. & L. reported that
the wind and rain storm that
hit this section about 6 A. M.
Monday, September 1, put the
Mt. Joy Sub-Station out of ser-
vice for about forty-five min-
utes causing approximately one
thousand customers to be with-
out electricity. The Landisville
and Salunga areas were also
hit hard, causing about the
same number of homes to be
without service.
In Columbia the wind storm
uprooted trees which fell across
the distribution wires, inter-
rupting the electric service to
the York County area effecting
800 homes. In Maytown 200
homes were without service and
Central Manor 1000.
Farm Crops Suffer
The storm caused consider-
able damage to the farms in and
around the Mount Joy area.
Corn and tobacco were damag-
ed to the extent of thousands of
dollars. Some farmers reported
that nearly their entire crop of
corn was laid to the ground.

Terry Young Benefit Ball
Game To Be Held Saturday
Terry, the 4 year old boy, bat- |
tling to regain his health
against Bright's disease at
University Hospital,
North Carolina has captured
more sympathetic hearts.
It was reported by the “We're
Pulling for Terry” committee
an 80 year old woman (name
withheld) sent a check for $70
stating she had the disease as a
child and knew what little Ter-
ry is up against.
And Bob Kunkle’'s Midget-
idget ball team will stage a
‘Terry Young Benefit Game”
a double-header ball-
ame this Saturday afternoon,
eptember 6th, at Mt. Joy Park.

Durham, |
'p. m. with Marietta. Second
game with the East End Panth-
ers of Lancaster will follow
shortly afterwards. The visiting
teams are meeting their own
expenses. With these young
sportsmen giving their time it
is only fitting to mention that
everyone that possibly can
should come out, not only to see
two good ball games, but to
help this worthy cause.
Mr. Joseph Brenneman, of
the First National Bank, this
boro, wishes it to be known he
will still accept the responsibil-
ity of handling the money con-
tributions and see that all funds
will be used to the best of Ter-
ry’s interest.
