BULLETIN
DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTERESTS AND WELFARE OF MOUNT JOY AND ITS AREA

Friendship Fire company
has been keeping its fingers
crossed since last Saturday
morning.

Street work in the first
block north of Main has had
the entrance to the fire house
more or less blocked - since
that time. However, as this
column is being written Tues-
day night, “luck” has held
out and there have been no
serious emergencies.

Fire and ambulance equip-
ment has been parked—part
of the time—on the post of-
fice parking lot, ready to use
the east exit.

It recalls something of the
problem during the time
Main street was being rebuilt.
There were several calls dur-
ing that long interval, but
firemen were able to meet the
situation.

Do you sometimes wonder
how much it costs to run the
schools? This is the week you
have the auditors’ report. It
appears as a required legal
notice in this issue of the
Bulletin.

Although Mount Joy is one
of the few boroughs in the
county which has not made
some kind of statement about
wanting to share in the Com-
monwealth’'s Project 70, it
was tossed out as a prediction
that within 20 years Mount
Joy will be on the doorstep
of a water development.
® © o
What was meant is that in
the Mount Joy vicinity are
some of the best natural pos-
sibilities for water reservoirs
in this entire part of Lancast-
er county.
® o o
It was suggested that some
other boroughs may begin to
look with longing eyes at the
water storage possibilities
here as their water sources
become inadequate.
® &
Which takes us back to the
“overpopulation” topic we
explored a couple of weeks
ago.
@ ® &®
That column drew consid-
erable comment from Bullet-
in readers. One man sent us
a book on the subject. Some
felt we overplayed the situa-
tion.
® ® @
The need for an abundance
of clean water in this section
of Lancaster county to meet
that growing population and
to meet growing water use, is
deserving of top priority on
the list of community needs
for the future.
IN THE HOSPITAL
Mrs. Frank B. Walter, east
Main street, is a patient in
the General hospital (room
551) for treatment following
a coronary attack last week.
She is reported to be satisfac-
torily improving.
AUXILIARY TO MEET
The Mount Joy auxiliary
to the Lancaster General hos-
pital will meet Thursday,
Sept. 17 at the home of Mrs.
Bruce Greiner at 7:30 p.m.
An, unspoken “I told you
so” is the most difficult rep-
rimand to bear.

THIS IS LIBRARY WEEK IN MOUNT JOY

Tribe Bows
In Opener
To Ephrata
Football 1964 got off to a
good start Saturday after-
noon at Donegal field des-
pite the fact the Indians took
a 26 - 6 beating from the
visiting Ephrata Mountain-
eers.
For three quarters it was a
good ball game, Ephrata lead-
ing, 7-6, at the half and 14-6
at the third quarter.
However, from there on,
what had been suspected was
the case was proved when
the Indian depth of strength
failed to stand up in the final
period.
Donegal’'s losses from the
high-flying 1963 team were
evident but the general pre-
diction was that ‘Donegal
will win some games.”
The single Indian touch-
down came on a five-yard
dash around end by Gary
Gohn after a 91-yard drive
down field.
Donegal’s Dennis Goodhart
working from the fullback
position, carried the ball . 18
times and gained 72 yards to
lead the ground gainers Sat-
urday afternoon. Gohn went
63 yards in 18 trips.
Saturday afternoon, Sept.
19, the Indians continue their
1964 season by going to Lititz
to meet Warwick. On the
26th they will invade the
Manheim Township strong-
hold.
Plan Special
Meet At Seiler
Something new for the
School and Home association
is planned for Tuesday, Sept.
22 at Seiler school.
A ‘“‘Parent-Teachers’ Home-
room Night” will be hela
from 8 until 9 p.m. The eve-
ning is designed to answer
such questions as, “What will
my child be studying this
year?” “Will he have home-
work?” “How much time
time should he spend on it?”
and “Will he be making
class trips?”
There will be no business.
Parents will go directly to
their child's room and sit in
his seat. The teacher will
briefly explain plans for. the
vear and will give ample
time for questions.
If parents have more than
one child in the school, they
may divide their time be-
tween the rooms.

ing to have a close look at
the borough's water source!

Flour Mill Is
A building and
program which eventually
will triple its storage capa-
city has been started by the
Spangler Flour Mills, Inc.
north Market street.
David Myers, local manag-
er, said this week that a
foundation already has been
installed for a new, 60,000
bushel wheat storage bid and
that within the near future,
according to plans, two even
larger structures will be er-
ected.
The bin under construction
now is located near the
southeast corner of the prop-
enlarging
Expanding
erty. Of metal construction,
the building is scheduled to
begin within a few days.
When the first storage is
completed, a portion of the
present plant will be taken
away and two even larger
structures built. All are for
wheat storage.
Both local harvest and
grain from other locations
will find storage in the new
bins.
Presently the milling oper-
ation can store about 100,
000 bushels but when the
three new elevators are fin-
ished they will hold about
300,000.

said that ‘Initial plans are
being laid to extend the free

Lancaster, Landisville and
Manheim without paying any

At a meeting of the citiz-
ens library committee last
week, Mrs. James Roberts
was named president of the
new Mount Joy Library Cen-
fer.
She has been one of the
prime movers in the drive to
establish a library in Mount
Joy, beginning with helping
to establish a Bookmobile
visit in the area.
That effort was so success-
ful that further effort finally
brought promises from the
Lancaster Free Public Libra-
ry to help set up a Mount
Joy Center.
Other officers elected in-
clude: Henry G. Carpenter,
honorary chairman of the
board; Kenneth Gainer, first
vice-president; Mrs. Robert
Rosser, second vice-president,
Richard A. Rainbolt, third
vice-president; Mrs. John M.
Heisey, secretary, and Glenn
Y. Forney, treasurer.
The incorporating directors
of the organization, assigned
to one, two and three year
terms alphabetically, include
Rev. Howard Bernhard, Car-
penter, Forney and Gainer,
one year; Mrs. Heisey, Mrs.
Carl Heilman, Oliver W.
Holmes, and Mrs. Thomas
O'Connor, two years; Rain-
bolt, Mrs. Rosser, Mrs. Rob-
erts and Mrs. Donald Straub,
three years.
At the same meeting, with
Clarence Newcomer acting as
legal counsel, the group ad-
opted by-laws setting out that
the incorporators are "organ-
ized for the purpose of estab-
lishing, operating and main-
taining a free public library
for the citizens of the Bor-
ough of Mount Joy and of
surrounding area.” The cor-
poration is a one which does
not contemplate pecuniary
gain or profit, incidental or
otherwise.
On Friday of last week, all
other legal requirements hav-
ing been met both locally and
required .by the Common-
wealth, the Lancaster County
Court granted a charter.
The Library Center is be-
ing established at 20 E. Main
street, which is the middie
building of Carpenter's Cor-
ner. Already furniture and
equipment is on order and
books are beginning to arrive
December is set as the
grand opening date, but
doors will open as quickly
arrangements can be made.
