Jointure Of Florin And Mount
Joy Suggested
Of The Florin Lion’s Club
At the regular Monday din-
ner meeting of the Florin Lions
Club held at the Keystone Din-
er, Lion President Arthur Wol-
gemuth introduced District
Governor Arthur Summers who
gave a brief talk on perfect at
iendance and presented his col-
lection of Lions Buttons which
he has collected over the years
since becoming a Lion.
Guest Speaker
The guest speaker for the
meeting was Attorney Clarence
Newcomer who spoke on the
subject of Mount Joy and Florin
joining together. He pointed out
briefly some of the historical
aspects of both Mount Joy and
Florin. He stressed that since
the incorporation of Mount Joy,
the borough has grown physic-
ally, socially and economically.
He mentioned that since Florin
is part of two townships, Mount
Joy and East Donegal, it must
turn to the townships for their
support. According to Attorney
Newcomer, it would be much
better for Florin and Mount Joy
to join together so they can
work together and not indepen-
dently to enjoy community ser-
vices such as: The water system
