Jacob R. Corll, Joseph T. Brene- |
man and Warren H. Foley.
Chairman Seiler stated this
morning that his committee will |
be ready to report in about two
weeks.
The meeting was called by
the Boy Scout troop committee |
which had delayed plans for a
canvass for
funds to renovate the Greider
building which several months
ago was donated for the use of
the Scouts. Clyde E. Gerberich,

Jr., troop committee chairman,
presided.
He explained that the com-
mittee had been working ever
since the Greider building was
offered on plans and soliciting
funds to provide badly needed
quarters for the Boy Scouts. He
said that more than $1,000 of
the $2,000 needed for the pro-
ject had been raised. The com-
munity campaign scheduled for

ber of citizens that a community

Mr. Balsbaugh sparked the
evening's discussion with com-
ments on Mount Joy and its fu-
ture. He said:
“Mount Joy has everything to
look forward to. It's ideally lo-
cated on the main line for fu-
| for the successful
ture expansion . . . I admire
Mr. Greider for giving the |
building, but I think we can
do better than that for the fine |
young people of our community
. . Now is the opportune time.
There is a 40x70 ft. cellar in the |
old grade school building for a
starter . ... 1 don't think we
should wait. I humbly think we
should take steps to acquire the
use of the old grade school . .
Dr. William M. Workman,
vice chairman of the Scout
troop committee, pointed out
that there's a number of prob-|
lems that would need solving
operation of
a community building. He made
a plea for the Boy Scouts, say-
ing, “We're in dire need now |
for a place for the boys to meet.
I'm not opposed to a communi- |

place right now. I'm asking you

To Take Part In
ASC Elections
The Pennsylvania

ed all farmers in the State of

take an active part in the elec-

mittee, together with Commit-
tee members Ralph L. Culver
and Robert Z. Torrance, issued
the following:
“We realize it is very impor-
tant that the very best qualified
people be elected to the ASC
community and county commit-
tees as it will be their duty to
administer the farm program to
be very best of their ability and
in line with the way Secretary
of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson
has planned.
“We are aware that no organ-
ization is any better or can be
operated any more efficiently
than the members who have
charge of its operation. We feel
every farmer should be interest-
ed in having this program ad-
ministered in the very best pos-
sible manner.
“You can be
yourself, to your community,
and to your Government by
taking part in this activity. You
will receive your ballot by mail
or ballots can be had at your
