Since there was no water at all
in the latter pump, the Salunga
firemen changed to the plug on
Mount Joy Street opposite the
Sico gas station.
Following the test, Ray Myers,
fire chief, collaborated with the
firemen from the other towns
and they decided that if a fire
would break out in the north-
eastern section of the borough,
it would be necessary to relay
water from the Little Chiques
Creek. The test was conducted
near
High and
as a sample measure so that
companies would know just
what to do. (A test similar to
this was done some years prior
to the big Schock
fire.)

borough authority or borough
council members were present

S. H. Miller, president of the

feels that the addition of the
new standpipe will make a dif-
ference in the pressure at the

ket Administrators issued a no-
tice through the associated press
of the suspension of service
payments to Mount Joy Farm-
ers Co-Operative Association,
Mt. Joy, Pa., effective as of May
1, 1952. Official notice from the |
Market Administrators was re- |
ceived several days later.
The Market Administrator in |
suspending these service pay-
ments gave several reasons for
his belief that the
had failed to perform certain
obligations required to qualify
to receive these payments.

Co-Operative,

held in Philadelphia, October
13, 1953. The Board of Directors
and manager S. A. Horton were
present and presented testimony
in support of the Co-Operative.
On March 12, 1954 the Judi-
cial Officer of the United States
Department of Agriculture is-
sued an order rescinding the
suspension of the service pay- |
ments and directed the Market |
