This is how the political situation stacks up this week with only a few days re- maining during which the picture could change. ® ©o oo There appear to be three Republican races in Mount Joy — for mayor, for easi ward councilman. and for tax collector. ® oOo © Two men — Frank Walter Sr. and James Hockenberry Justice of the Peace,—appear to be the contenders for the G.O.P. nomination in the mayor's race. George Groff and James Spangler are both filed for councilman from the east ward, and six people —Robert Kline, Jack Tyn- dall, Betty Brown, John W. Anderson, William Mateer and Glenn M. Wolgemuth—- are seeking the nomination for tax collector. e oo o All of which appears to be shaping up to make a prim- ary election with more than usual interest. ®o © We predict that the Groff - Spangler decision will be hottest. Both are old hands at politics, both have been president of council and both want the job. So, it is likely that we can anticipate some interest along in April. The Mount Joy BULLETIN DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTERESTS AND WELFARE OF MOUNT JOY AND ITS AREA VOL. 64. NO. 38 Authority ProbesFlorin Waterworks Next steps looking toward the possible purchase of the Florin water system were re- viewed Tuesday night, Mar. 2, by the Mount Joy Borough Authority meeting in regular session in the fire hall. General Waterworks com- pany, which owns the facili ty here, has hung a price tag of $307,000 on its property. At its Tuesday meeting, Authority explored, with aid of its legal and engineering counsel, ways of making its own appraisal of the worth of the property and to deter- mine what it feels is a reas- onable price. Previously, Authority had determined that it would cost approximately $340,000 to renovate the present facii- ity it owns. But, that price would not provide an in- crease in the amount of wa- ter available. The need for additional water was emphasized by a report that National-Stand- ard’s new factory east of the boro averages 219,000 gals. use per day during last (Turn to page 5) ‘Of This and It is just a short walk — probably not more than 100 feet across Main Street — from the front door of The Bulletin office to the side door of Carpenters’ Corner. But when we traveled that short distance one day last week, we must have been going backward in time a year for every foot, for when we stepped inside, lo and behold! it was 1865 instead of 1865! What a treasure house it is, this yellow brick home of Henry G. Carpenter! We were invited to come over to see the gorgeous blossom on the huge philo- dendron in the solarium. (Mount Joy must have ex- actly what that kind of phil- odendron needs, for we were shown a blossom on an al- legedly ‘non-blooming” plant Show ArtDisplay AtLlibraryCenter The Art Exhibit at the Mount Joy Library Center changes each month. This month, there is an exhibit of works by Mrs. Harold Krall, Warren Foley and Mr. and Mrs. James Phillips. Starting in March, there will be paintings by Mrs. Alvin Bigler, Mrs. Vera New- comer, Mrs. H. E. Garber and Mrs. James Roberts. If others have paintings to ex- hibit they may contact Mrs. James A.

However, it took us more than an hour to reach the solarium. So great was our interest in everything we saw that we were taken on a “tour” of the beautiful home in a very gracious manner by = Mr. Carpenter's housekeeper, Miss Anna Newcomer. What a rare treat and privilege that “tour” was! We could have lingered an hour in EACH of the rooms, so many lovely and interest- ing things are there to see! An antique collector’s hea- ven! A museum treasures! A “storybook’ dwelling of a by-gone age! Yes it is all of those things! But it is more. It is a warm and inviting HOME. The charm of the past is (Turn to page 3) of priceless On Dean's List Richard W. Sloan, fresh: man this year at the Phila: delphia College of Pharmacy and Science, and son of Mr. and Mrs. G.

Particularly of interest in this area is the ‘clover leaf’ between Mount Joy and Eliz- abethtown. Present plans, as released last week by the Lancaster County Planning Commission call for interchanges ‘‘east of Mount Joy at the present end of the four lane section, west of Florin at Legislative Route 36068, north of Eliza- bethtown at Rte. 743, east of Middletown”. Legislative Rte. 36068 is the blacktopped highway running north from present Route 230 at Grove's Meat World Day Of Prayer World Day of Prayer ser- vices will be held in the First Presbyterian Church of Mount Joy at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, March 5.

On recommendation of the property committee, council approved a bid taken Feb. 15, at a special meeting for the purchase of a mechanical garbage collection truck, which is to be delivered within 60 days. Three bids had been accep- ted. A fourth, which was submitted to council Monday night, was rejected. With a bid of $9,947, Wil- liams Chevrolet of Eliza- bethtown was the successful bidder. Whether or not a used truck will be traded in by the council or retained will be decided at a later date. Council voted five cents per hour raises to borough employees and a $5 per month raise to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Boggs, who operate the -borough’s radio emergen- (Turn to Page 4) maine Bridgett will be the soloist. Mrs. Zuch will speak on this year’s theme, “What Doth The Lord Require.” Un- iting six continents and more than 125 nations, this first Friday of the Lenten season has been set aside as a time for prayers for peace and brotherhood on this theme. In writing the service, Mrs. Jesse Jai McNeil of Pasedena, Calif., called the church “to a radical and deep involvement in affairs of the world in the name of Christ.” Mrs. McNeil has an outstanding record in church leadership, having served as a member of the National Board of Managers of United Church Women since 1957 and as a mem- ber of the National Baptist Convention, U. S. A.,, Inc. While a resident of Michigan she was the first negro to receive the citation “Layman of the Year” from the De- troit Council of Churches, and the second woman to be so honored. In Mount Joy, those as- sisting in the service are: Mrs. Warren Bentzel, Miss Eunice Herr, Mrs. Frank Germer, Mrs. Clinton Eby, Mrs. Joe Detwiler and Mrs. Richard Martin, St. Mark's E. U.

However, there is consid- erable activity being exerted to have that exit moved to the Milton Grove road, run- ning north from the Kountry Kitchen. In all probability that mat- ter will be one for discus- sion at the public hearings set for March 25 at the Eliz- abethtown high school at 10 a.m. At that time, the Pennsyl- vania Department of High- ways will conduct the hear- ings, take transcripts to Har- risburg and then have them required on all highway pro- jects on which federal high- way funds are used. After review, and if found satisfactory, the state wiil be authorized to proceed to the next stage in the project, which is preliminary engin- eering design. It is at this plan that the precise loca- tion of interchanges and cross bridges will be estab- lished. Proposed right of way is 250 feet. Preceding the public hear- ing, which is not to discuss the road as it relates to in- dividual property owners, highway department plans will be on display at the high school in Elizabethtown on (Turn to page 2) Donegal Matman Is Champion One Donegal high school wrestler is a district champ- ion.
