are taking a joint step to-

which has all the earmarks
of a wise step.

the planners in the area hope

It’s time Mount Joy, too,
begins to face up to the fact
that one day in the not too
distant future it probably
will have a new “front deor”
facing onto a new hypass.
Now is the time for action.
Not the day the state high-
way department announces
its construction plan.
The study for Elizabeth-

A warning concerning ob-
servance of the Mount Joy
borough’s curfew ordinance
- was issued this week by Po-
lice Chief Bruce Kline,
‘Three groups of people —
besides the youngsters them-
seles—are involved, Chief
Kline said. Number one
group is the parents, who are
directly responsible. Second
are the operators of business-
es where youngsters might
gather after the curfew, and
third, those in charge of so-
cial activities which involve
young boys and girls.
The curfew law says that
youngsters are to be off the
streets by 10 o'clock each
night in the week.Kline said
that does not mean they may
leave an organized social
function at 10 o’clock and
then go to some public place
for refreshments before go-
ing home. Ten o'clock is the
curfew hour, he emphasized.
However, he did say that
the police department is will-
ing to be slightly lenient —
if those in charge of organiz-
ed group activities, such as
dances, etc. notify the offic-
ers or the mayor prior to the
date of the affair.

‘Of This and

by The Editor's Wife
We have two ‘‘guest writ-
ers” in our column this week
The first is little Miss Re-
gina Baker, a pupil in Miss
Brubaker’s fifth grade room
at the Seiler elementary
school.
It seems the pupils in this
room have written a play,
which was given on Feb. 12,
at the school. In connection
with the play, each child
wrote a news story about the
play. The five best ones were
chosen, and then the very
best one was selected to be
given to the Bulletin. Regin-
a’s story was the winner:
“Lincoln and Washington

There is great commotion in
Miss Brubaker’s fifth grade
at Seiler, since the play ‘Feb-
ruary Heroes’ was written.
The play was written by six
fifth graders.

Spring Is Just Down The Road
All the current snow to the contrary, spring real-
ly is “just around the corner!” And Dr. and Mrs. John
Gates can give proof of this fact, if needed.
They were at Long Point, Md., over the weekend,
about 72 miles south of here, and on Route 213 they
saw first, a group of seven frisky robins' In another
several minutes, they spied a flock of almost 40 of
spring’s harbingers, together with four blue jays and
some juncos!
“Never have I seen ‘flocks’ of robins like that,”
Mrs. Gates said. “And 72 miles isn't very far—they
will surely be in our vicinity before long!”
