To You! WHAT?
What does the right to vote mean?
A chance to cast a ballot for a friend in a local
election? An hour or two, or even a day, away from
the job on election day? A chore grudgingly per-
formed that involves a trip to the polling place and,
perhaps, a wait in line?
—to some people who have the right to vote se-
cured, this may be its meaning.
—to others though, it has a deeper, almost mysti-
cal, significance.
—to the 15-year-old freedom fighter shot down by a
Soviet tank in the streets of Budapest, the right of
self-government—the right to vote—was worth dying
fOr . «vs
—to the peasant Chinese, slaving in the bitter
agony of a commune rice paddy, the right of self-
government—the right to vote—is a vision of an un-
obtainable treasure, the thought of which creates
mental anguish . . ..
—to the two young East Germans escaping from
their communist masters across a heavily mined bor-
der, the right of self-government—the right to vote—
was worth the price one of them paid several weeks
ago—both his legs.
It’s a precious thing—the right to vote—too prec-
ious to lose because one has something else to do on
election day.

New POSTAL SERVICE
A new and vaduable additional postal service
is to be offered for Mount Joy and Florin patrons,
it was announced this week by Postmaster Elmer
Zerphey.
Beginning Sunday afternoon, November 6th,
and continuing every Sunday and holidays there-
after, there will be mail collections from the let-
ter boxes IN FRONT OF THE POST OFFICES.
Thus, if a piece of mail is deposited in either
the Florin or Mount Joy boxes before 3:45 p.m.,
delivery will be possible the very next day, in
most cases. :
The collection from the local boxes will be
made by extending a service already existing
from Harrisburg to Elizabethtown.
The improved service will make it possible
for late Saturday mail and important letters rea-
dy to be dropped in either of the two outside box-
es—Mount Jov or Florin—to be put on their way
for Monday delivery.

Contracts probably will be

The Authority hopes to
complete the installation

When all homes have been
metered, the Boro Authority
will begin a study of meter
readings, actual water con-
sumption and will measure
these factors against the rate
schedule. After several mon-
ths - perhaps a year or more
new rate schedules will be
established.
The new schedules will be
set to equalize the quarterly
charges and the amount of
water used. Thus, there will
be a basic, minimum fee and
graduated rates for varying
amounts of consumption. If
a householder uses very little
water, he will pay a mini-
mum fee. However, if his
neighbor has a big family,
uses a lot of water, washes
his car often, sprinkles his
lawn and fills a swimming
pool, he will pav a consider-
higher bill. The rate
