Pennsylvania Week
Celebration Oct. 10-17
Harrisburg — Pennsylvania
communities were urged to give
out-of-state visitors a type of
civic welcome usually reserved
for very important persons, as
part of the Pennsylvania Week
celebration Oct. 10 through 17.
Ross L. Leffler, state chairman
for Pennsylvania Week, has
asked municipalities to adopt
the plan of the Exchange Club
of Chester to , extend a surprise
welcome, with VIP trimmings,
to visitors entering the city
from nearby New Jersey. Visit-
ors will be selected at random
from out-of-state motor cars,
greeted by the Mayor's repre-
sentative and accompanied by a
flag-bedecked police escort to
the club's weekly luncheon
meeting and a seat of honor.
So successful was the VIP
welcome given an Oklahoma
couple during Pennsylvania
Week two years ago, Mr. Leffler
said, members have decided to
repeat the affair next October.
Leffler said he hopes service
clubs generally throughout the
State would arrange similar
welcome for visitors.
Hamilton To Display New Space Clock
These interested Barnard Col-

as they listen to the tickings of
this Hamilton Space Clock,
which tells time simultaneously
on Mars and on the earth. It
could be that they would rather
live on Mars, where time drags
twice as slowly as it does on
earth. For instance, a two-week
vacation on Mars would be a

Damages Are
‘Reported From
‘Wind Storm
Mount Joy suffered storm
damage Monday night as a wind
storm followed by a rain storm
hit the area. At 7:00 p. m. the
wind storm started. The elect-
ricity in the area was discon-
nected for a half hour until re-
pairs could be made to fallen
wires.
An automobile belonging to
Park Neiss, Jr., which was
parked on High Street near his
home, was damaged when a
tree in front of Mrs. Anna Lon-
genecker’s residence split and
fell on the auto. The top was
damaged and the sides of the
car were badly scratched. At
the same time the tree fell on
the car, it also pulled down el
ectric wires across East Main
Street.
One automobile drove over
the fallen wires but a second
slammed on his brakes to avoid
driving over the live wires. As
he stopped, another auto drove
into his car. A slight traffic jam
resulted until S. H. Miller, West
Main Street, disconnected the
wires so that traffic could pro
ceed.
The chimney on the home of
Frank Gladdiger, East Donegal
Street, toppled over through the
wind storm.
Within one day, fifty years
ago Mount Joy suffered a seri-
ous wind and rain storm. Aug.
17, 1904, the interior of the Mt.
Joy Methodist church was par-
tially ruined when a storm
arose during the slating of the
church roof.
