Lions Give Library Check For $1,335
The Mount Joy Library
Center has received one of
its first financial boosts!
Last weekend, a check for
$1,335 was placed in the
hands of Glenn Y. Forney,
library treasurer, by the
Mount Joy Lions club.
Previously two other gifts
were received.
A $150 check, earmarked
for “the first month’s rent”
was given by the Community
Council and a $50 gift was
made by the Friendship Fire
company Auxiliary.
The big gift represented
the $500 pledge made several
months ago by the service
club, plus a big slice of cash
which the Lions set out in a
letter with their check is
their three-year pledge to the
library.

Propose Removing Tolls
Mount Joy Could
Call Lancaster Free
The Columbia Telephone
company has announced that
it soon will poll its custom-
ers in the Columbia, Mount
Joy and Marietta exchange
to determine whether they
would favor toll - free cal-
ling to Lancaster and Lan-
disville at increased month-
ly local rates.
Henry Y. Smith, president,
explained that it is the com-
pany’s desire to give its cus-
tomers the same opportunity
to eliminate tolls and there-
by aid in the development of
their localities that other
suburban Lancaster commu-
nities have had.
He pointed out that Lan-
Millers-
ville, Leola and Strasburg,
already call Lancaster with-
out a toll charge.
If the poll is favorable,
Smith said, arrangements
will be made to provide the
local service. He added, how-
ever, that since vast quanti-
ties of central office and out-
side plant equipment will be
required for the service, the
effective date will not be un-
til near the end of 1965.
a Lions club member and a
member of the library fin-
ance committee, said that al-
though the check does repre-
sent a three-year pledge,
there is no reason that if

club’s financial situation per-
mits that there will not be
other gifts.
Immediately after the li-
brary project was launched
with specific goals and with
good prospects of a library
materializing, the Lions made
the first big financial pledge.
Forney said that all lib-
rary money now is being
held in escrow pending the
formulation of firm, hard
plans for the beginning of
the library itself.
As now planned, a drive
to raise capital funds neces-
sary for the library will be
launched in the fall.

Ebersole Plague Found -— Being Refinished
Where it has been, how it
got there or why is not a
question which is being ask-
el!
The important thing is that
the “Walter Ebersole’ bronze
plaque has been found and
soon will be re-erected at
Marietta and Donegal streets,
where it belongs.
Several years ago the com-
munity erected a number of
bronze plaques in memory
of fallen World War I heroes.
However, over the years,
several—for first one reason
or another — disappeared.
But, by continuing effort,
publicity and patiencé, al-
most all of the plaques have
been unearthed and placed
back where they belong.
However, the Ebersole
marker, which is the one for
which the local American
Legion is named and which
stood at the corner where the
Legion home was located for
ersole plaque.”
Albert did retrieve the
bronze plate and is now hav-
ing it refinished. Shortly it
will be put back in a place
of honor, where it belongs
and -where passers by - can
note that the community still
remembers.
No more questions—except,
“Where are the other two or
some time, had eluded _
searchers.
Recently an anonymous
telephone call was made to
George Albert, president oi
the Mount Joy Community
Council, and the voice told
them that “I see by the Bul-
letin that you want the mem-
orial markers. I can tell you
where you can find the Eb
three which are missing?”
