BOUQUETS TO
WATER AUTHORITY
Positive action of the Mount
Joy Borough Water Authority |
on the appointment of fiscal ag- |
ents to handle financial details |
for the sewer project deserves |
commendation of the cormuni- |
ty. |
By so doing the Authority |
has taken one of the necessary |
steps forward assuring a mini- |
mum of delay getting the)
job under way.
We look forward to an early |
beginning on the project and]
urge the community’s full co-|
operation in the months ahead,
as the necessary work moves
forward.

THIS WEEKEND
The Retail Merchants of Mt. |
Joy and Florin have gone all

shoppers the merchants are of-|
fering free parking. Anyone |
who patronizes local stores dur-|
ing this sales events will be
reimbursed for parking expen-|
ditures simply by asking any
one of the participating mer-
chants for parking money.
This is a real opportunity
for Mr. and Mrs. Householder
to make their dollars go furth-
er than in many a moon. The
values are as good or better
than values offered various
Sales Days in the areca
Mount Joy and Florin mer- |
chants again have put forth an
extra effort to show shoppers
that it pays to “Buy in Mount
Joy and Florin and Save.”

The School Lunch aims to
foster good food habits and
safeguard the health of the

served at school fulfills its nu-
tritional purpose only when it
supplies at least one third of
the days requirements for cal-
ories, proteins, vitamins, and
minerals. Its contribution of nu-
trients should be such that, in
combination with breakfast and
the evening meal typical of

Farm Life Is New to Her
og
Susy seems to be a little un-
certain as to just what Farm
life is all about. She and her
brother and Mother and Dad
from New York City are
spending a week on one of
Pennsylvania's new vacation
farms. They learn about an en-
tirely new life while they live
with their farm hosts They'll
have the pleasure of fishing and
swimming in the old swimmin’
hole, and it’s a cinch they'll
never forget the heaping farm
tables and the cool fresh air.
The farm vacations are organiz-
ed by Pennsylvania Farm Va-
cations with in
Mount Joy, Lancaster County.
Member farms are scattered all
over the state, and are largely
| farms that have extra housing
space and a {arm family that
has a liking for company. The
member farms are widely ad-
vertised in large city newspa-
the vacation inquiries
directly to the member
farms. Guests’ rates vary from
$30 to $40 a week per person—
an economical vacation the
city folk, and nice mon-
for the farm family.

a minister of the church from
that time until 1946. During
his active ministry he traveled

He has been blind for the
past 25 years and when this
affliction caused him to retire

turned to wood carving as a
hobby. He had been a carpent-
er for many years and this
knowledge aided him in turn-
ing out many artistic containers,
made in all shapes and sizes
out of cedar, wild cherry and
maple wood.
