This a- mount will constiiute the goal of the United Communi- ty Campaign to be held in Lancaster County from Oc- tober 1st through 26th and in the city from October 8th through 26.

The next Teen dance will be held Saturday, July 28, at the Fire Hall and the center le. With the closing bridge, motorists are to use the bridge at the west- ern end of Salunga or crossing four miles east Landisville. The situation poses a seri- ous threat to the Landisville Fire Company, where valu- able time would be lost tak- ing the detour in case of fire. Should the delay extend to fall, many of the school buses of the Hempfield school district would have to be rerouted. According to Benjamin L. of of Landisvil- the forced the of Greider, East Township supervisor, sylvania Railroad officials, in verbal agreement, promis- ed that the bridge would be closed for a six-week period, beginning June 25. Work was halted on the span after employees of the railroad were layed off, reportedly because of the steel strike. This action was severely criticised because there were no steel replacements to be made on the structure. It is reported that all mattrials needed for, repair of the bridge are at the site. Hempfield Penn- Goal Set At $840,431 paign. The Joint Policy Commit- tee stated that the Boards of the Community Chest and Red Cross based their anti- cipa‘ed needs on increased demand for services due to the population growth in Lancas'er County and on the current rise in prices, Lancaster County population increased from 234,717 in the 1950 census to an offi- cial estimate of 248,296 as of April 1, 1954. If this rate continues, a population of over 280,000 is expected by the 1960 census. The net population gain in 1955 — based on births over deaths was the highest in the county’s history and higher than the state in general or neighboring counties. The Community Chest and the Red Cross will also find it more expensive to serve this growing number of per- sons, the Committee declar- ed. Food, clothing, utilities, rent and .insurance costs are higher, and social agencies can hardly hold the line in meeting demands and in- creased costs. The cost-of- living index has been stead- ily rising each year; in Ap- ril the consumer price index in the United States reached 114.9 per cent of the 1947- 1949 average.

Borough Wa Storm clouds hovered over the Mount Joy Borough Au- thority meeting Friday eve- ning. Two residents, Samuel Dock and William Gassman, appeared to ask why ditches in Mount Joy Street had been left open for nine weeks and two large holes were not properly barricad- ed or lighted. Another resident, William Brian, Frederick Street was present to ask why the orig- inal plan for laying sewers in the street had been chang- ed so that the line would now go through his back yard. C. & T. Affiliates, tor for the work on the south side, made a formal request to be relieved of part contrac- of its contract. Engineer Joseph Michels asked for the installation of 13 new shutoff valves in Main street. Attorney Ralph Barley asked the engineer where the rights-of-way" were for the taking of the sewer lines down through the fields to tne disposal plant. Council members Lloyd Myers, George Groff and William Dommel were pres- ent to inquire about claims of Harry Lefevre thority Chairman Miller had promised tend water lines to fever's proposed 75-home residental development at the east end of the borough. All of this added up to a lively session. Messers. Dock and Gass- man both declared that they were appreciative of the problems encountered in lay- ing the sewers in Mount Joy Street but expressed the feeling that nine weeks was a long time for the street to remain in unsafe condition. Their chief concern, they pointed out, was the possi- bility of small children fall- ing into two deep holes. At this point Robert Rosser, Authority vice president, commented that ‘barricade and flare protection on the entire sewer project had Samuel to ex- Mr Le- that Au- * Lancaster wheat county producers will decide on Friday whether or not they want marketing quo‘as on their 1957 crop.

Farmers of this area will vote at the Red Rose Dairy. ‘Milk Producers Hold Meeting In Mount Joy Some 70 milk producers of Lancaster eounty and sur- rounding area gathered on Tuesday night at Hostetter’s Banquet Hall to hear repre- sentatives of the Metropoli- tan Cooperative Milk Pro- ducers Agency Inc. The meeting was sponsor. ed in cooperation with the Mount Joy Farmers Cooper- s ative Association and the Inter-State Milk Producers Inc. Abner H. Risser, presi- dent of the Mount Joy Co- operative, was chairman of ithe meeting. Ralph Smith and Charles Cobb, field men for the Bar- gaining Agency, addressed the meeting and Charles Co- wan, representative of the Inter-State Milk Producers, participated in the discus- sion. Each person present was given a sheet of paper on which to wri‘e his guess on the number of pounds of milk in the New York pool. Irvin Engle was closest with his estimate and .was a- warded a milk pail. Following the formal part of the program, a question and answer period was held, las'ing for more than an hour. @ ——— Local Club Hears Talk On Rotary Wheel The Rev. Charles V. Nau- gle, pastor of the Grace Lu- theran Church at Macungie, addressed the Mt. Joy Ro- tary club at its luncheon meeting Tuesday. The Rev. Mr. spoke on “The Wheel,” which was adopted as the service club’s emb- lem when the organization was founded more than 50 years ago by Paul Harris. The speaker was introduc- ed by the Rev. W. L.

A deteriorated storm drain made the going extremely slow. Mr. Miller sta'ed. He informed Mr. Dock and Mr. Gassman that the contractors had performed all the labor on replacing of the storm drain at no expense to the community. Mr. Miller said that he would do all in his power to get the contractors to close up the holes and make the street passable as quickly as possible but be- yond that he did not feel in- clined to put on undue pres- sure. Messers. Dock and Gassman repeated their as- sertion that they did not wish to appear unreasonable but that they were particul- arly anxious fo see the haz- ards removed. The Auhority engineer's answer to Mr. Brian was that they had changed the plan after being informed by that they lines in provision the Sico Company could not lay the the street, that had been made for utilities in a five-foot easement ac- ross the rear of the lots. Mr. Michels said that the plan had been changed af er con- sultation with the property owners. Mr. Brian ‘asked: “Why wasn't I centacted? No one ever talked to me about it.” Mr. Brian brought out the deed to his property and pointed out that the refer- ence to the easement for utilities was for electric, gas and water and did not state that sewers must be laid in the easement. He objected streniously to cutting up the rear of his lot with subse- quent damage to lawn and shrubbery Attorney Barley agreed with Mr. Brian on the point that the deed does not re- quire the laying of the sew- er line in the easement and that the Authority could place the line-in the street.
