Pledges Service
| To Community
A pledge to maintain the
principles of community ser-
vice laid down by his predeces-
sors, John E. Schroll and Wil-
liam N. Young was made this
week by Larmon D. Smith as
he took over operation of The
Mount Joy Bulletin.
“Our efforts will be directed
to the production of the best
possible hometown newspaper
for the communities which we
serve,” Smith said. “To that end
we solicit the cooperation of ev-
ery resident and all organiza-
tions in the Mount Joy - Florin
Salunga - Landisville area.
“No one should hesitate to
turn in news items in the be-
lief that they are not impor-
tant. The very heart of the
newspaper is made up of the
many items that some folks
consider ‘not important’ You
will find the staff at The Bul-
letin more than cooperative in
the handling of your news
items.”
Smith began his newspaper
activities . in Pennsylvania
where he took his first job in
the circulation department of
the Kennett Square News and:
1936. From
there he went to The
Daily News at Athol, Mass., and
then to The Daily Journal at
{ Wheaton, Ill, published by his
father, the late George M.
| Smith.
Smith was born in Ches-
ter county and raised in Ken-
nett Square. There are four
four children, Shirley, 17, Mary
13, David, 10, and Paul. 4.
The Smiths have purchased
a home constructed by Carl
Drohan on Spooky Nook road.
Mrs. Smith and the children
plan to move here in the next
couple weeks.

FALSE ALARM
CAUSES EXCITEMENT
The work of a prankster
caused quite a bit of excite-
ment in Mt. Joy on Tuesday ev-
ening. After receiving an alarm
to the home of Elmer Shearer,
Marietta Pike. the firemen went
there to extinguish a fire. After
finding no fire at the Shearer
home, the firemen backtracked
and for nearly an hour visited
several other Shearer homes a-
round Mount Joy, but without
success.
To make matters even worse
for the firemen, one of the fire
trucks broke down and had to
be towed back to the fire house.

the promoter then visited local

sold them advertisements. The
idea proved popular here and a'

were sold, the majority being
paid for at the time of the sale.
At the same time “director-

the same result. None of these

It was also disclosed this
