‘Of This and That’
“Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all —
Flowers in the summer, Fires
in the fall!”
Fires in the fireplace, that
is! And we've had quite a
bit of “fireplace” weather
this winter.
We think our fireplace gets
a pretty good workout—we
have a fire in it two or three
evenings each week. But re-
cently we learned we are
really just ‘“pikers” along
this line!

Newcomers Mark
68th Birthday
Recognition of what prob-
ably is a merchandising rec-
ord in Mount Joy is being ob-
served by Newcomer's Hard-
ware store.
As far as is known, the
68th birthday, which H. S.
Newcomer and Son, Inc. is
observing with a special sale,
marks the longest period that
business in the
borough has been operated
by a single family.
The business, now actively
headed by Clarence S. New-
comer, was founded by his
father, Harry Newcomer, in
the building on the south
west corner of Main and Bar-
bara. Later, for a brief time,
it operated at a location on
north Market, before being
moved back to its present
store room.
COMPLETES TRAINING
Barry A. Stehman, 22, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Warren H.

recently at the Naval Train-

genecker Road, told us that
he and his wife kept a fire
burning in their big fireplace
“from September until May!”
As he spoke of it, you
could almost see the firelight
dancing in his eyes, so pleas-
ant was the thought of it to
him!
The Leamans’ wood was
“home-grown,” cut from fal-
len trees on the nine-acre
woodland surrounding their
picturesque home, so they
used it as freely as they
wished.
“September until May’ —-
that would be a lot of happy
hours with an open (fire,
wouldn't it?
For there's nothing quite
like a fire on the hearth to
make home seem like the
best place in all the world.
Watching the flickering of
the flames, listening to the
sizzling of the sap in a green
log, counting the red coals as
they drop down into the gray
ashes, smelling the- fragrance
of apple wood or maple,
brings a sense of peace and
utter relaxation.
We have always said that
it makes our knees ‘“‘turn to
water” to sit close to an op-
en fire, meaning, of course
that we relax so completely
that our knees feel incapable
of sustaining our weight!

origin in Mount Joy.
- As long ago as a year, pre-
parations for printing of cer-
tain labels for the new pro-
duct, which features a pock-
et-size ‘‘five-pack” of a new
wrapper, began in Mount
Joy.
Although produced by
Litho Craft on North Market
street in large quantities, the
job was high secret as it
went into uroduction about
mid year. Utmost precautions
were taken to keep the new
product “under wraps’ until
it was tested in upper New
York state.
Litho Craft, which is the
printing division of Auto-
Kraft Box Corp. York, now is
producing fine printing for
all major cigar manufactur-
ers — Bayuk, Consolidated,
General and American smok-
ers across the country.
The work produced in the
50-man plant on Market St.
goes to Autokraft plants in
Hanover, Philadelphia, Red
Lion, Tampa, Fla., and Mins-
ter, Ohio.
