As the season progresses,
one of the topics of conversa-
tion is the beauty of the flow-
Ee Ad
ers on Mount Joy's Main
street.

Many many people have
used the areas at the foot of
the new, little trees for such
colorful planting as petunias
and other summer flowers.

One of the most attractive
spots is in front of Dr. Ken-
dig’s home at Main and Mari-
etta. Others are no less beau-
tiful but the situation at the
intersection and the way the
sidewalk was finished is a
fine addition.

It has been mentioned and
is worthy of repetition here
that there has been little, if
any vandalism in connection
with the new trees and the
flowers. Seems we all appre-
ciate them and everyone is
doing his part to protect
them.

This Is Your NEW
Mount Joy Bulletin
This is your NEW Mount Joy Bulletin!
This week your hometown newspaper joins a
strengthening tide of publications across the na-
tion which are appearing in tabloid form.
Many, many people has expressed themselves
as preferring a smaller
sheet-size paper. “I can
handle it better,” is a common comment of readers
of tabloids.
Advertisers, too, find the smaller size to their
liking. The five-column layout lends itself to good
readership, better attention at economical prices
and gives them an opportunity to tell their stories
without exploding budget arrangements.
The shift of the Bulletin to a tabloid size is
one of a series
of changes
and improvements
which the readers will be seeing within the next
few weeks.
In the meantime, try the NEW Mount Joy
Bulletin for size.
We know you will like it!

Now, the Donegal district
is looking gorward to the
need for additional classes
and a building program at
Grandview.
When the original rooms
were built there, it was sup-
posed that the “U” shape
would be completed into an
“H” so that it would be very
similar to Seiler.
However, times and ex-
perience play an influencing
hand and on Thursday night

Dr. Thomas O'Connor
Board of Education held its
July meeting, a poll of the
members indicated that they
prefer to change the architec-
tural arrangements.
Without exception, the 10
members voted to instruct
their architect to design a
“double loaded corridor”
type building addition,
The “double loaded corri-
dor” refers to a long, straight
hallway with classrooms op-
ening off each side.
So definite were the school-
men in their opinion that
they asked the consideration
be given the possibility of
“filling-in” the courtway of
the present Grandview biuld-
ing with new class rooms.
The matter of heating the
building which is of the “op-

ing once.”
In a lengthy and detailed
instruction, the Director of
Local Services Division said
that Jack Liggins, Florin
postmaster, is to become su-
perintendent of the ~ Florin
station.
He will handle the station
but will be attached to the
Mount Joy office, for person-
nel and report purposes.
Name Carrier
Donald Eichler Jr., who is
now classified as a substitute
career clerk at Florin, will
be moved to the Mount Joy
office and will become a
“substitute career carrier.”
In that capacity, he will be
the Florin letter carrier.
He will have no loss of
status in the service.
As planned, the carrier
route will service the newly-
annexed portion of Mount
Joy, which was formerly
Florin.
However, Postmaster Zer-
phey said that patrons living
on Donegal Springs Road
who have been served by ru-
ral carrier No. 1 will contin-
ue to be served in that same
manner.
Slots and Boxes
In some cases it may be
necessary for patrons to erect
boxes to make service avail-
able.
However, all patrons must
make arrangements before
August 31 with a satisfactory
mail box on the front of
their home or a satisfactory
mail slot through the door.
Another detail mentioned
by Postmaster Zrphey con-
cerned the use of Market
AVENUE by persons living
on Market avenue in Florin,
Route Surveyed
A survey to lay out the
carrier's route already has
been made by the postal ser-
vice. At about the same time,
members of the Florin Lions
Club did a great deal of de-
tail work when they set up a
door number arrangement
and encouraged residents of
the area to install door num-
bers.
A casual inspection of the
area indicates that most peo-
ple have placed the proper
numbers on their door al-
ready.
