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.

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.

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-

However, it took us more

interest in everything we
saw that we were taken on

What a rare treat and
privilege that “tour” was!
We could have lingered an

so many lovely and interest-

Bypass Hearing to Touch on Interchange
One of the undecided mat-
ters connected with the pro-
posed construction of a Rte.
230 Bypass around Mount
Joy, Elizabethtown, Middle-
town and Highspire, is the
location of some interchang-
es.
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

New Truck
A garbage truck was
bought, raises were granted
and five new street lights
were approved Monday night
March 1, as the Mount Joy
Borough Council held its
regular meeting.
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

maine Bridgett will be the

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.

Market, past the Garber

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
