PLEA TO ICE SKATERS
During the last week the wea-
ther in Mount Joy was cold en-
| ough to insure the children and
| adults that it was ice-skating
weather. Mount Joy residents do
have a lovely place to skate but,
—some either children or adults
made it hard for those who real- | it up.
ly do appreciate the pond at the
eastern end of East Main Street.
Broken glass was found on and
around the ice pond. Since the]
difference between ice and glass
iS. | is so slight to the eyes of skat-
ers, it was extremely dangerous.
Several thoughtful people re-
turned to their homes and
brought back shovels. brooms]
and brushes to try to make the
pond safe for skating again
Users of the pond place this plea
—please keep glass away from
the area; help keep a “good |
thing" safe!
A NOTEWORTHY BIRTHDAY
We salute the Boy Scouts of
America on its 45th birthday.
now being observed during Boy
| Scout Week. Feb. 6 to 12
Since its founding in 1910 the
organization has enriched the
| lives of over 22,750,000 boys
I and adult leadtrs. Truly Scout-
| ing represents a living cross
section of American life.
Boys of every race, religion]
and economic background are
attracted to Scouting. Today we
find 2,700,000 boys in its ranks.
Add to that impressive figure
the 960,000 adults of good char-
acter who give generously of
their time and talents to serve
s | as leaders of units, Merit Badge
Counselors and in many other
capacities. There is hardly an
American family that has not
felt its influence.

Chief Scout Executive, a leader

tone» to train the boys of today
to be ready for positions of lead-
“Strong character, participa-
ting citizenship and physical fit
ness,” he says, are needs of our
boys and young men who are
served by the program of Scout-
ing in cooperation with the
home, the school, the . church,
and other community institu-
tions actively interested in train-
ing our future citizens.’
Scouting’'s purpose, stated in
the Federal Charter granted by
Congress in 1916, is to promote
the “ability of boys to do things
for themselves and others, to
train them in Scoutcraft, and to
teach them patriotism, courage,
self-reliance and Kindred vir-
tues.”
Every member of the nation’s
95,000 Scouting Units is indeed
“having some kind of experi-
ence that is adding to his equip-
ment to meet the prob'ems of,
adult life.”
It is that training that wx
heartily endorse on this rote

THE SHADOW OF POLIO
For almost 40 years now,
ery spring and summer,
strange and ghostly bird of prey
has flown out of nowhere to cas ji
its shadow across our land
Again this past year, like ane)
ruthless migratory bird, polie-]
myelitis has made its seasonal |
appearance, a spoor of |
| twisted bodies behind.
Polio’s movements are capri-
cious; seemingly without any ra-
tional pattern. A family of five
is stricken . . . the home across
the fence is spared Today a
mountain hamlet suddenly feels
the disaster . . . tomorrow it is
a street in a teeming city a thou-
sand miles away.
But its very unpredictability,
polio used to bring terror in its|
wake. But knowledge dssipates !
terror. The American people |
know that men of science have
been ceaselessly searching for |
the answer to this disease. They |
know, too, that no polio patient
will be helpless or alone, be- |
cause every patient who requires |
it will receive aid.
| This awareness has been ours
| for the past seventeen years —
A WISE OWL pecause of the March of Dimes.
March of Dimes makes possible
eliminating polio
True, every spring and sum
mer the ghostly bird wings over
ou homes, leaving suffering be
hind. Living evidence of ils pass-
age are the more than 70,000
polio patients who today require
a helping hand in their struggle
to rebuild their lives
But millions of Americans see
final freedom from the fear of
polio on the horizon. Polio will
be trapped and destroyed when
a proven preventive is found. It
may be this year. I{'s not too
late to make your contribution
to the 1955 March of Dimes and
speed that happy day.
So bring or mail your con-
tribution to March of Dimes

possible call The Bulletin and a

Letters To The Editor
A rumor has been reported to]
the writer relative to the effect
{ that the Qld Timers, at their
coming banquet, will entertain
Mount Joy athletes of the Don-|
egal High School only. This is|h
not true. At the present time, |
the organization has not decided |
to entertain anyone and I am|
sure if they do, they do not CATE]
where they are from as long as | 1
they produce. They have done
just that.
I am sure that I can speak for
the majority of Old Timers)
when I say that we are proud of
our Donegal School, our basket
ball team and our community.
Also I noted in the Bulletin last
| week about the proposal of the
Mount Joy Chamber of Com-
merce to the effect of taking in
the Donegal area. In my opinion
| nothing could be better for the |
community. As I can visualize
Mount Joy growing with some
added new blood which we ac-
quired within the past few
years, the borough has been giv-
en a “shot in the arm”, which it
.| needed. i
If you don't believe it, check
the census for the past twenty'
years, 1930 to 1955. The ‘in
| crease in Mount Joy has been]
less than 300 persons.
