NO. 48 Mount Joy To “‘C May 15th to May 30th is Clean-Up, Paint-Up, Fix- up time in Mount Joy! Sponsored by the Mount Joy Chamber of Com- merce, the last two weeks of this month have been designated as an appropriate time for the people of the community to make a special effort to “spruce up.” And-—spring weather, inviting to outdoor work—- has played directly into the hands of the Chamber of Commerce planners. The weatherman has opened wide the door of op portunity to not only paint-up and fix-up but to clean- up and to do so many of the chores which accumulate outside during the long winter months. Too, Memorial Day is just around the corner and the community is pointing toward that weekend cele- bration, which will bring many many visitors to the borough for the various activities. There will be many DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTERESTS AND WELFARE OF MOUNT JOY AND ITS AREA MOUNT JOY, PA. WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1964 SEVEN CENTS lean-Up Paint-Up’ old timers coming to Mount Joy as well as just plain interested people who will be here to take in the par- ade and the other holiday activities. This summer, probably, there will be more guests in and through Mount Joy than any summer in a long long time. Anyone who has relatives or friends living west of Altoona is likely to have company this summer as thousands upon thousands of people will be attracted to New York for the Fair. Many will be stopping — maybe looking at someone’s spare bedroom. The highways will be running full of travelers—- many of whom will come through Mount Joy. Already there have been a number of flower box- es appearing on Main street, as spring brings a return of the ‘green thumbs” and as the prideful citizenry wants to make his property a little more attractive.

They are: Carolyne Blantz, ‘Of This and That’ by The Editor's Wife As we stood in front of Grant's Tomb in New York City many years ago, a friend of ours standing nearby said, “They can’t put Grant’s Tomb on a penny postcard, can they?” Of course he meant that it was impossible to capture and imprison the grandeur and majesty of that beautiful structure on a piece of ecard- board three inches wide by five inches long! We thought of these words as we stood at the foot of the Unisphere at the New York World's Fair last Saturday— “They can't put the Uni- sphere on a five-cent postage stamp, can they?” Set in the midst of beauti- ful fountains, at the conflu- ence of the main Avenues of the Fair, with colorful flags flying and plantings of pan- sies and tulips adding their gala touches, the Unisphere is a breath-taking sight! daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cletes W.
