The contract sets out the terms of employ- ment. It is a fully legal ar- rangement in every way, yet every year in August, on the very eve of the opening of school, teacher after teach- er breaks the contract and walks away — frequently to another job. ® o 9 Schoolmen feel almost helpless to fight against the system. Yet, an August resig- nation in a key spot can give a school a kick in the pants that can not be rectified for years. ® oO oo Because certain teaching spots are very hard to fill, it sometimes becomes necessary at the last minute to employ what may be second rate teacher, until time and cir- cumstance make it possible to make another change and improvement. ® eo © The horrible part of the entire situation is that one jump starts a chain reaction. As a teacher leaves one school, administrators look over the fence into another district and “hire away” a re- placement. The second dis- trict must fill its class rooms, so it looks across another fence and grabs someone else. The process is continued un- til— ® o o August job hopping by teachers who walk out from under a contract is not one of the things which gives the teaching profession its bright- est lustre in the eyes of the public. @® ® ® Last week a lot of people expressed the hope that there will be more programs of “music in the park.” ® oe o To date, the Community Council has been chiefly res- ponsible for the program. Other organizations have picked up the tab a few times but the Council has been the motivating force which has caused the programs to hap- pen. ®e oo eo It’s interesting to know that the Borough Council could — at least it is allow- ed by law to do so pro- vide some finances to furnish “borough music.” (Turn to page 12) To Be Gradnated From Millersville Donald Eby, of Manheim, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Eby, Walnut street, is a can- didate for the Bachelor of Science degree from Millers- ville State college Friday.

Called a ‘mile of pennies” the collection is the same as has been conducted in past years to raise funds to pay prizes, provide bands and to underwrite the big fall acti- vity on Halloween night. Members of the Mount Joy Lions club will collect the coin cards on Wednesday evening, Sept. 2. The Lions have sponsored the parade for several years to provide an evening of en- tertainment for both young and old in the community and surrounding area.

Traffic Light Installing Slowed Unforseen difficulties have arisen which are delaying the start of erecting a traffic light at the corner of Main and Angle streets! The light, authorized sever- al weeks ago by Borough Council, is to be supported on standards erected at the sides of the highways. But, there are uncertain- ties as to where property lines are located. Also, certain permits from the state were needed. Clearing of these items all are taking time and causing delay. It had been hoped that the signal would be operative by the time school opens Sept. 1. The corner will be the main point at which school child- ren will be crossing. Contract for installing the controlled and electrical equipment has been let to Roy Lehman, Wood street. THIS ISSUE -- Two Sections 20 PAGES As a public service.

Actual construction work is expected to get underway within about 30 days —-- or early in October. At a special meeting of the Mount Joy Borough Council, held Friday night, Aug. 21, an ordinance authorizing a 50-year life of the Borough Authority was passed unani- mously and this week was signed by Mayor Frank Wal- ter. At the time the council ac- tion was taken, Mayor Wal- ter said that he could not see the reason for extending the Hurt In Crash Near Donegal Donald Forry, 17-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Al For- ry, is a patient in Osteopath- ic hospital (room 108), recov- ering from serious injuries received Friday morning, Aug. 21, about 8:30 o'clock. A senior at Donegal high school and a candidate for the Indian football squad, young Forry had reported for morning practice, had suited up and had left the dressing rooms several minutes ahead of drill time. He was taking a spin on a motor - skooter of a friend and had ridden off the school vard onto Marietta road when he collided with a jeep. He suffered a compound fracture of his left leg and internal injuries. A local phy- sician was called and he was removed to the hospital in the Friendship Fire company ambulance.

However, during confer- ences following the Friday night meeting answered his questions and by mid-week the legal action was complet- ed. Originally, Council had been expected to pass the ordinance on Friday night, Aug. 14. At that time, how- ever, councilmen felt that they wanted a little time to give the matter further study. Thus, they recessed their special meeting until the 21st Last Friday night, six councilmen -met with four members of the Authority in the fire house. After an ami- able discussion involving specific questions and ans- wers, there was warm and fa- vorable talk of attempting to find a way of arranging their respective affairs in such a way that they could employ a borough manager. It was explained that the $640,000 bond issue being prepared for financing the Florin area sewers will ma- ture in 40 years—in 2004 — but that bonding houses want an additional 10 years life of the authority in case there are any possible difficulties.
