Added Fuel Tax
Comes to Boro
Annexation of Florin into
Mount Joy has brought the
borough an added $1,274 in
liquid fuel tax refunds this
year.
Increased street mileage
and increased population in
the borough changes the for-
mula by which the state re-
turns monies paid in taxes
to the Commonwealth.
The borough is to receive
$3,747 this year compared
with $2,473.
Announcement comes im-
mediately ahead of an antici-
pated report at Borough
Council meeting next week
on the proposed street im-
provement program for the
summer of 1964.
The $3,747 figure is the lo-
cal share of a $385,691 dis-
tribution made to Lancaster
county.
Measurement of the mile-
age of streets in the Florin
ward and an official ‘Census
was taken immediately after
the annexation.
While the borough made
gains by the annexation, East
Donegal township dropped
from $5,292 to $4.441 and
Mount Joy township was cut
from $6,214 to $5,705.
The losses were due, of
course, to the loss of mileage
and population in the town-
ship areas which were annex-
ed to the borough.
Funds are derived from the
state’s seen-cent gasoline tax
and other liquid fuels.

the Authority — congratula-

really secondary and begin-

stated that while military
spending is leveling off, “the
commercial electric-electronic
markets which are our main
sources of business should
continue their growth. There-
fore, given a favorable gen-
eral business climate, we ex-
pect another year of growth
in 1964. For the longer-term
future, we foresee the use of
electricity continuing as one
of the fastest expanding areas
in our economy. Along with
this market potential, we feel
we have the capabilities to
meet this potential both here
and abroad.”
HOLSTEINS
New, officially recognized
milk and butterfat records by
Registered Holstein cows in
this area were underscored in
a special report from The
Holstein-Friesion Association
of America.
Vicinity cows included in
the report are: Clovena Regal
Echo 5134581, a two-year-old,
owned by Hess & Grosh, Mt.
Joy, produced 14,306 lbs. of
milk and 633 lbs. of butter-
fat in 365 days.
Wick Haven Sovereign
Skyliner 5247715, a two-year-
old, owned by A. W. Wicken-
heiser, Mount Joy, produced
17,299 lbs, of milk and 592
lbs. of butterfat in 365 days.
These new production fig-
ures may be compared to the
annual output of 7,211 lbs. of
milk and 270 lbs. of butter-
fat by the average U.S. dairy
cow, notes the national Hol-
stein Association.
Pennsylvania State Univyer-
sity supervised the sampling,
weighing and testing opera-
tions in cooperation with the
Holstein organization’s herd
and breed improvement pro-

Going to the Fair—-In"39 “40
Coming events -
shadows and announce their
arrival!
Too, events of
leave a shadow.
That's what happens when
one talks about the general
subject of “Worlds Fair.”
Conversation these days
is likely to include talks of
plans for going to New York
and for seeing the 1964-65
edition of world fairs at
Flushing Meadows.
Opening date is not far a-
way and certainly the shad-
ow of that spectacular event
is being cast upon us now.
But, a shadow out of the
past—25 years ago, to be ex-
act—also is cast by the 1939-
’40 fair on Long Island.
For instance, Sam Dock
last week brought to the Bul-
letin office a fat folder of ma-

COUNSELORS MEETING
The monthly meeting of

cast their;
terial saved from the times
that Mount Joy participated
in “Special train” movements
of people from our town to
New York City.
‘The trips were on Septem-
ber 14, 1939 and September
23, 1940, and both times near-
ly 800 people made the trips
from the local station plat-
form to the World's Fair sta-
tion and return.
The aging folders from
Dock’s file show that in 1939
the round trip, including
transportation, admission to
the Fair and a Greyhound
chartered tour of the grounds
was priced at $4.75 with a
children (under 12 years
price of $2.75.)
A year later the charge
was only $4.35, but the tour
of the grounds was substitut-
ed for ‘admission to one of
the leading shows in the
fair.”
Th special trains were

sponsored by the Chamber of
Commerce at a guaranteed
price to the Pennsylvania
Railroad of $1,700, according
to some of Dock’s papers.
On the flyers distributed
through the area advertising
the special train, one final
line of type announced. ‘“Po-
lice protection for all autos
parked in Mount Joy until
you return”.
The 1940 train left Mount
Joy at 6:05 am. and was
scheduled to leave the Fair
at 11:35 p.m.
Mount Joy day at the fair
was a real big time and some
recall how the local crowd
walked up to the Chrysler
building —where a dramatic
demonstration of rocket trav-
el of the future was being
previewed — and marched
right by long lines of waiting
people.
Arrangements had been
made through K. T. Keller.
Well, all we need to say at
this point and on the eve of
another fair is—‘'See you at
the fair—Louie.”
