Instead of the $5 in the city, Messiah children had $10 for their Christmas shopping tour. 4 ® There are so many, many facets to the Kennedy assas- sination. e oo o For instance, from AMA, News publication of the Am- erican Medical association, we read in a long, long story about how the Parkland Hos- pital in Dallas responded to the Nov. 22 tragedy. ® © @ For instance, the emergen- cy room in which Kennedy was treated and died, had a wreath on the door Nov. 23, the day of his funeral, and no patients were treated in that room that day. ® © o Nine other emergencies were treated at Parkland be- tween the time the president arrived and his body remov- ed at 2:19 p.m. The hospital treats an average of 272 em- ergencies per day.

It contains a transparent reproduction of the gorgeous rose window .in the Washington Cathedral in Washington, D.C. There is the from the Rev. pastor of St. Held toward the light, it reveals an intricate pattern of blue, red, and amber. (The card has added signific- ance this year, as the origin- al of this particular rose win- dow looked down upon memorial services for our as- sassinated president just one short month ago.) Another card “fat” before we opened it. And no wonder! Enclosed with an attractive English print of the nativity scene were two lovely little gifts— a pure silk headscarf in a horse print for our Libby, and a snowy white handker- chief for us with a gay Christmas tree in the corner! The Jere Hendersons’ card felt very had a Christmas photo of the three-year-old twins, Keith and Kevin, enclosed . . . an- other card was in the form of a small newspaper, with the name of the senders in the headline . . . the Marsh- all Dussingers sent a photo card with the children bear- ing “gifts” to the baby in a nativity scene . . .

A review of the highlights in the local news this past year show the following: FLORIN ANNEXATION— Annexation of the Florin area into Mount Joy includes a number of high-priority news stories, beginning early in the year and running thru the twelve-month period. Almost as important as the annexation itself was the es- tablishment of door-to-door mail delivery. Plans are more than launched for installing sewers in the area next vear. A knotty taxing silua- tion was finally solved, mem- bers of the borough council were elected and borough services were extended, all of which have been much in the public eye in 1963. NATIONAL - STANDARD —During the year National- Standard has built a fine, big factory and is now vir- tually ready to begin pro- duction. Most all the visa- ble activity connected with the new industry in Mount Joy has been done during 1963. The construction included installing a long run of sew- er, water and high pressure gas lines. The company now owns a- bout 30 acres of land at the east edge of the borough. MEMORIAL DAY WEEK- END — A bg cooperatve pro- gram was staged in Mt. Joy over a four-day period as the community turned full atten- tion to a Memorial day cele- bration which featured a number of recently complet- ed civic projects. STREET COMPLETED During the year, Mt. Joy's Main street was finally com- pleted, ending a rebuilding job begun the summer before and only partially completed before the hard winter of '62- ’63 (which in itself merits mention as a top news story) MOVIE THEATRE CLOSES —The Joy theatre, hit finan- cially by the changing pat- tern of American life, closed its doors. Efforts to keep the amusement center in operas tion were not successful.
