It has been mentioned to
us that we should note that
the Mount Joy Junior Cham-
ber of Commerce actually
“doubled” the christmas
cheer offered by Lancaster
Jaycees. Instead of the $5 in
the city, Messiah children
had $10 for their Christmas
shopping tour.

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.

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.

More about the cascade of
beautiful, interesting, friend-
ly, thoughtful Christmas
cards that have continued to
bless our home this holiday
season:
lovely one
Donald Feick,
Luke's Episco-
pal church. 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 . . .
The George Alberts’ card
shows the heads of Prince,
Vera, Mitch and Scott in line
drawings of Santa and his
reindeer . the Rev. Harlan
Durfees’ card has the heads
of the children, two girls and
two boys, under a line draw-
ing of a Christmas tree .
the Glenn Forney’s card is
of their adorable children,
Todd and -Beth.
Kind words came with
some of the local cards: “We
just wanted you to know we
have enjoyed your ‘newsy’

List Year's
Top Ten
Local Events
Mount Joy's top twelve
stories in 1963, could actual-
ly be expanded into the ‘top
twenty,” a look at the past
twelve months reveals.
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.
POLIO VACCINE CLINIC—
Two of three polio clinics, at
which Sabin Oral vaccine
was administered was held in
the area, pushed by the Com-
