Pressure and more pres-
sure is being felt locally to
clean up the borough.
®e &
From the state health de-
partment a growing force is
being felt as survey after
survey is made of communi-
ties throughout the county.
® © oo
Junk piles, abandoned
property, open burning bar-
rels, inadequate garbage con-
fainers, etc. ete. are the tar-
gets of unfavorable spot-
lights,
® o »
The Mountville area is now
under survey but when the
visitors will come to Mount
Joy no one knows.

Spring is a good time to
look this situation in the
face and get something done
before unfavorable publicity
belies the conscience of
Mount Joy.
@® @ ®
The word involvement has
been much in the news the
past few days. It’s not a
new word. Nor, is it a
naughty word.
© ® ®
But, right-living
have winced this week as
they read the story which
brings up the word involve:
ment,
people
® ¢ o
People are concerned about
the situation which has plac-
ed involvement upon every-
one’s lips. They are concern-
ed about many phases of the
situation. They are concerned
about “What's next?”
®e oO o
While you're being con-
cerned, are you wondering
about supporting law and
order, about being a good
citizen, about taking some
responsibility for upholding
decency and justice?
® © @
As you consider the case,
don’t you recall the stories
about people being attacked
and even murdered while
the victims screamed for
help to disinterested by-
standers?
® ® i
Do those things happen
only in a big city? Or, is
there some of the same dis-
position to ‘not get involv-
ed” right here in our own
back yard?
® °° ®
There is a need for in-
volvement in Mount Joy in a
lot of different fields. And—
law enforcement is one of
them,
®e © eo
Citizens must remember
that when any section of so-
ciety is not safe from anoth-
er, then no one is safe any-
where, anytime.

Three Donegal high school
students placed well at the
big state - gymnast festival,
held last weekend at Penn
State. More than 1,000 boys
and girls participated.
Jill Cahrles, a senior, plac-
ed a strong fifth in the girls’
free exercise division; Rudy
Ney, a junior, won a ninth
on the parallel bars, and
Gray Greiner, a senior, was

With Recovery Forces
Radarman 3c James E.
Hockenberry III, U. S. Navy,
son of Mr. and Mrs. James
E. Hockenberry Jr., of 105
Columbia Ave., was part of
the recovery force during
the first manned Gemini

destroyer USS Harold J. El-
lison( was one of 20 vessels
assigned to the National
Aernautics and Space Admin
istration project.
Navy and Coast Guard
ships took station along the
path of the spacecraft’s orbit-
al track. The recovery area,
whether one, two or three
orbits were completed, was
calculated to be between
Cape Kennedy and the Can-
ary Islands.
Several weeks prior to the
mission, his ship underwent
extensive training in recov-
ery techniques and
nications procedures
sary for smoeth task force
coordination, assuring safe
recovery of the astronauts
and Gemini craft.
Following completion of
the project, his ship returned
to her regular duties with

Signs of spring:
robin, the first crocus,
first warm shower, the
~ “Easter bonnet’!
And for those who don’t
lie in bed too long, the ma-
neuvering wild geese and
ducks in their flight north.
The robin, the crocus, the
warm rain, the geese and
the ducks we had seen
before this past week end,
but the last mentioned item
not until Sunday night.
“Easter bonnets” were
much in evidence on the
fashionable ladies at the buf-
fet supper of the Rotary Dis-
trict Conference Sunday eve-
ning in the Hershey Commu-
nity building.
It was good to see so many
gay, colorful, stylish hats!
They were bright yellow,
green, pink, purple, and oth-
er shades we've not seen too
much of during the long
months just past. They gave
a lift to the spirit, a hope of
spring to the heart!

The evening church service
that followed the supper had
Easter significance, too. The
huge stage in the community

We had a letter this week
from a Mount Joy native,
Ronald C. Pennell, who is
living now in Mesa, Arizona.
We share it with you:
“Dear Editor's Wife, Here
is one for your column ‘Of
This and That’. Although I
have lived in Arizona the
last four years, I often come
across many things to re-
mind me of the Lancaster
County area. Lots of manu-
facturing and industria
goods from there are sold out
here, and I've run across
many people from that area.
“But the most unusual case
I've come across is in_ the
lobby of the physical science
building on the campus of
Arizona State University in
Tempe. There is a meteorite
display there, with a slice of
coarse actahedrite found in
1887. Found where? You
guessed it—good ole Mount
Joy!

the old brewery and another
parcel south of the old Penn-
sylvania railroad which bor-
ders on Apple Tree alley.
That tract also includes one
house.
What use the tobacco com-
pany will make of the prop-
erty is not known at this
time.
A company official said
this week the properties were
bought for possible future
expansion. The company has
several things in mind, but
plans have not been crystal-
ized. However, the added
space will be used for tobac-
co processing and storage.
The Engle property was
sold Friday and bid in by
Attorney Clarence C. New-
comer for $16,000.
A company official, Harry
Hitchcock, this week recal-
led the transaction several
years ago when Lancaster

brick building then known as
the old malt house.
One publisher in the area,
he chuckled, headlined the
story, “From John Barley-
