Walter, mayor of the Borough of Mount Joy, do hereby proclaim and announce that the week of September 14, to 19, 1964, be observed as LIBRARY WEEK and urge that all citizns of the area who regard cultur- al facilities as important support and boost the program of the Mount Joy Library Center com- mittee. FRANK B. WALTER — Mayor, Borough of Mount Joy * * Next week is Library Week in Mount Joy ! And, next week is the time set for underwriting the financial life of the new Mount Joy Library Cen- ter! ; The stage has been set for a complete, community- wide solicitation of individuals and businesses to pro- vide a three-year guarantee of library services for the community. The goal is $18,000. Under the direction of the financial committee, workers have been organized and they will be ready to begin their campaign next week. Last week it was announc- ed that the library center will be located in the mid- dle building of Carpenter’s Corner at 20 East Main St. Library furniture to equip the room has been ordered and is expected within a very short time, The fund-raising drive will offer opportunities for con- tributors to become charter members of the library, sus- taining members or friends, depending upon the amounts * Questions and Answers About Library Question — What will be the yearly cost of this opera- tion? Answer — Of course, the initial cost will be greater until the building is com- pletely furnished. The furn- ishings alone will be over $6,000. Operating expenses are estimated at $4,000 a year. If and when growth demands a full-time paid lib- rarian, that will be a local cost. Q. — What is the commu- nity’s responsibility? A. — Finding and furnish- ing a suitable building, pay- ing rent and maintenance and paying service charge to the Tribe to Open Grid Card Donegal high school’s Ind- ians will unveil their 1964 gridiron machine Saturday afternoon, playing for the home fans on the Tribe's own hunting ground. Ephrata will be here for the afternoon’s activities ina quick blast into Conference of Roses competition. The opener sends the tribe down the road in defense of the best season Donegal foot- ball ever had. Last year, playing their second year un- der direction of head coach Al Brooks, the Indians won 8 games and dropped 2. DEGREE Among the 929 candidates receiving degrees Saturday, Sept. 5, from Pennsylvania State university was Char- lotte A. Horning, 122 East Harrisburg ave., Rheems. She received the B. S. de- gree in zoology. Dipomas were presented by Dr. Eric A. Walker, president of the university at the end of the summer term. QUALIFIES Charles W. Brooks, 208 Park Avenue, Mount Joy, has qualified as a member of the “1964 Top Club” of the New York Life Insurance com- pany. The “Top Club” is compos- ed of the company’s out- standing agents and is based upon 1963-64 sales records. As a member of the “Top Club,” he is qualified to at- tend this year’s educational conference Sept. 9 - 12, at Montreal, Canada. The very best Donegal had ever done before was to manage three wins in any one season. Thus, 1964 faces a stiff comparison measure even be- fore the Saturday kickoff. Last year the Hilltoppers from Ephrata were whopped, 32 to 14, for Donegal’s sixth straight win of the season. However, this season the Indians will be without the powerhouse scoring attack of Roger Grove and the weighty thrust of Mike Lippold. Also missing will be Gene Funk, John Hart and Paul Stehman just to mention lads who were standouts for Donegal and won themselves places on the all-conference teams. Who can be launched into 1964 stardom is one of the matters for decision Satur- day against Ephrata. Saturday’s grid program also launches a new 10-game round-robin schedule which pits all teams in the league against every other team. Thus, no team will be able at the end of the season to have landed at the top of the top of the standings without having met all contenders. CIRCUS The Mount Joy Junior Chamber of Commerce will sponsor two performances on Monday, Sept. 14, of the Von Brothers circus. Shows will be held in the late afternoon —3 p.m. — and at night — 8 p.m. The circus will arrive Sun- day, the 13th, and set up on north Market street. Lancaster Free Public Lib- rary. Q. — What is the Lancast- er library’s responsibility? A.—To provide a well- rounded collection of books, including reference books, children’s books, adult fiction and ndn-fiction, magazines, newspapers (to total about 5,000 books), to train volun- teer workers for the library and to provide supervision as needed. Q. — Is my contribution a tax deductible item? A.— The Mount Joy Libra- ry Center is incorporated as a non-profit organization and as such, steps are being taken for approval by the U. S. Treasury department. Q.—Will Mount Joy new library cards? A. — No. Any Lancaster Free Public Library card or Bookmobile card will be rec- ognized here. Q. — Is there any individ- ual charge to use the library? A. — No. Anyone may bor- row books. There will be fines for overdue books. Q. Can anyone give books to the Library Center? A. — Yes. The center will be happy to receive any (Turn to page 8) issue which they wish to give. Pledges and/or cash will be accepted. For those who wish, con- tributions may be part cash with pledges due in the fall of 1965 and a year later in 1966. In setting its goal of $18.- 000, the financial committee said that an initial capital expenditure of $6,000 is need- ed to ready the library. To cover an anticipated $4,000 yearly budget expense for three years will require an additional $12,000. At the same time solicita- tion plans are being made, volunteer library workers are being trained to handle the staff duties of the new center. Already two sessions for two different groups of vol- unteers have been held, the second on Tuesday of this week. Training is being done by the Lancaster Free Public Library, which also will preo- vide library service of some 5,000 books, magazines and newspapers. Fourth and Final ‘Music in Park’ Fourth and final 1964 ‘“‘Mu- sic in the Park program”, sponsored by the Mount Joy Community Council, was staged Monday night in Mem- orial Park. As a Labor Day special, the Shawnee band from Colum- bia provided the music from an improvised band stand. An estimated crowd of more than 600 people brought their folding chairs and blan- kets to enjoy the two-hour evening’s program of varied military band numbers. Earlier, the Community Council provided “Music in the Park” on Memorial Day, Fourth of July and a special “Potpourri of Music” in mid August. All were received with en- thusiasm and comments of “More, more, more.” Remove Zone 7 Radio Firemen are on the search for a new location for the Zone 7 radio base station. The system links a number of fire companies of the area. Recently the base in Mount Joy was closed but no new location can be found. One of the problems is that the station must be manned around the clock, seven days per week. And, traffic, in- cluding adjacent areas which use the same air channels, has become increasingly heavy. The system of radio com- munication which links the companies of the area, had its base at the home of the Youngs on Marietta avenue. Later it was moved to the fire house and unti recently was operated from a “radio trailer” in Apple alley by the Boggs. However, it was recently. Athough the system affords (Turn to page 3) removed C OF C BANQUET The 1964 semi-annual meet- Ing of the Mount Joy Cham- ber of Commerce will be held Wednesday, October 14.
