THANKS MOUNT JOY:
The editor of the Bulletin would like to take
a moment to thank the folks of Mount Joy for
the kindness and spirit of helpfulness they
have shown in receiving him inte the com- this week, a lot of you lucky readers were en- vice rolling in the golden grain |

letinn. We were looking for a community
which could truly be dlassified as “a good
place fo live and do business.” We are con-
vinced that our choice was wise.
It's a major undertaking to transplant a
family of six into new surroundings. And
while the writer is only one of six here al pres-
ent, he has no fears but that the reactions of
the other members of the family will be just
as favorable as have been his.
People are constantly asking: “How do you
like it Joy?” The answer dlways is an
emhusiastic “1 like it.”
There is more honest-to-goodness living in
these nottoo-big communities than there ever
could Be in the larger cities. Folks here take
time to be friendly and wafm and neighborly.
As we look ahead a bit, we are convinced
the!, Mount Joy is on the verge of growth. The
kind of growth that develops in the borough
dnd sufrounding area is important. Steady,
ofdetly growth is progress: mushroom growth
without plan could take from the community
the very things that make it a desirable piace
in whieh to live and raise your families.
While this writer is too new in Mount Joy to
attempt to say this should be done, or that
should be done, he had the privilege of
watching your borough council in action last
week: That the borough has high calibre, pub-
lic spirited men at its helm is evident.
The kind of iommunity we have as we
grow depends to a large extent upon us as
citizens: if we at oll times maintain the prop-
er interest in the affairs of communily and en- |
courage qualified individuals to seek public
office the problems of growth will be minimiz-
ed.
On the other hand, if we allow ourselves to
become disinterested and off guard, we can
look for problems that in later years may be-
come difficult to meet. Every citizen should at-
tend as many meetings of the borough coun-
cil, schot! board and other governmental bod-
ies as time will permit. Let these public ser-
vents know that you are interested in what is
going on. Give them a pat on the back when

As one means of encouraging discussion of
publi¢ issues. The Bulletin will welcome “Let-|
ters from Our Readers.” The only requirement
we make are: 1. The letters must be signed: 2. |
The letters must deal with issues and not per-|
sonalifies. The same consideration will be giv-|
en to both sides of any issue, no matter what |
position The Bulletin may take.
We believe that the hometown newspaper
should be the sounding board of public opin-
jon. We feel that the best of any |
community daré best served by the wishes of
the majority. provided those wishes are reach. /
ed on the basis of facts. It will be the pur-
pose of this newspaper fo ptesert all
available facts on any issue. |
To that end we solicit the cooperation of]
public officials and residents alike. A well in-|
formed public will act wisely: a misinformed
or poorly informed public may make mistakes.
Thus, we at The Bulletin, petition you to
hélp us to help you to help keep Mt Joy the
kind of communily you want. {
