A move aimed at obtaining!

possible annexation to
Joy, was launched at Florin ov-
er the past week-end.
This week letters
the problems facing Florin
property owners, elative
to obtaining sewerage fa-
cilities, added police protection,
efe.,, were being mailed to all
residents of the community.
The group of volunteers who
framed the letter also announc-
ed this week that starting this
week-end they will make a per-!
sonal call upon all residents in
outlining |
an effort to determine the true
sentiment regarding an exten-
sion of the proposed sewer sys-
tem here and annexation to Mt.
Joy Borough.
The reult of this survey will
determine whether a Florin
town meeting shall be called to
form a permanent Citizens’
Committee to carry the project |
through to its successful
pletion.
The letter which was mailed |
to all Florin residents is being
printed on this page.
The Bulletin also invites
readers to submit exoressions of
opinion regarding this matter
for publication in future issues.

Says Life Depends

If it were not for one bug

humans would be driven off the
face of the earth,
good, a member of the faculty
of Manheim Townships schools,
informed members of the Mt.
Joy Rotary Club at their meet-
ing Tuesday noon.
“If we did not have
controls of insects, all
life would disappear from
earth,” he asserted. “And
of the most important controls
is that some insects are para-
sitic and eat other types of in-
sects.
Continuing his talk, which he
illustrated with a large collec-
tion of specimens, Mr. Livin-
good explained there are 600,-
000 different kinds of insects in
the world. Boll weavil alone
cause a damage of 100 million
dollars to the American cotton
crop yearly.
“We can kill insects with one
type of insecticide one year and
by the following year those in-
sects have built up a protection
which makes them immune to
this,” Mr. Livingood added.
He was introduced by Charles
J. Bennett, Jr., program
man. James Heilig, president,
was in charge of the meeting.
Attendance chairman, Walter
Sloan, reported that the local
club had an attendance record
of 89 per-cent last month.

To The People
Of Florin
|
Is the disposal of sewage
problem in Florin?
| A group of Florin Citizens
have met recently to discuss
the too frequent obnoxious con-
ditions existing on our street,
alleys and cellars, due in part
the excessive rains and also
the lack of facilities to ade-
quately dispose of the
and sewage.
What shall we as a communi-
[ty do to protect our health?
We are aware that our neigh-
bors of Mt. Joy are planning the
installation of a modern sewage
| disposal system.
Will it be wise for the citiz-
jens of Florin to petition the ex-
| tension of that system to ale-
jiviate our problems?
| The advantages
to
|
of
sewage disposal in our area
[would be many:
1. Health protection.
| 2. Better living conditions.
| 3. Increased property values.
4. Better community. |
5. Favorable inducement to
| industry.
| The advantages of being in-
corporated with the boro would
be many:
1. Police protection.
2. Better streets.
| 3. Garbage collection.
|
4. Snow removal.
