by R. A. R. Mount Joy long has been proud of its successes in ten- nis and has taken prideful satisfaction in the fact that no other community in the area was more consistantly a winner. ®e oo o However, last year the sport dropped to a very low ebb and the town did not have a team in the league in which it normally played. ® © o Thus, it is with anticipa- tion that we report here that last weekend Mount Joy did put a team on the court a- gain and won a league game from Middletown, 8 to 1 oo © % Some new blood to add to the older talent has given a boost to local prospects. ®e © ® Mount Joy is observing its first National Library Week with a library of its own. eo ® The new Library Center opened last fall and has been an instant success.

We hope that many of them did, for it was delight- ful, refreshing, completely wholesome and acceptable entertainment. Today, when so many mov- ies are of questionable char- acter, and violate all stand- ards of decency and good taste, it is heartening and good to know that “Mary Poppins” enjoyed a longer run in Lancaster than al- most any other movie that has ever been shown there. Not only was it appreciat- ed by Lancaster Countians, though. It won more than its share of “Oscars” when those coveted awards were given out recently.

There still must be many, many good people, who know a good movie when they see one. And it was “good’’! Whim- sical? Yes. Musical? Yes. Coi- orful? Yes. Appealing? Yes. Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins, the English nurse, was delightful. The little children, her charges, were as cute and sweet as they could be. Dick Van Dyke car- ried his part well, and Ed Wynne was excellent. We predict that “Mary Poppins” will be around for a long, long time. Like “Gone With the Wind”, ‘“The Wiz- ard of Oz” and others, it will be a perennial favorite of several generations! * * * Two “fowl” tales came lo our attention this week! The first concerns a hen pheasant, who decided to lay her eggs in a protected spot near the lawn shrubbery of one of Mount Joy's lovely homes. At last count, fourteen pretty eggs in the somewhat improvised nest, and tension was mounting as to how many there would be before the “mother” begins to sit upon them. And what a sight that will be, if she is successful in hatching her little brood! (Turn to page 2) there were al plant all have been heard.

Although it will take an official decision to finally spread upon the record, the plan of action was virtual ly finalized Tuesday in Philadelphia. .

Tuesday's decision amount- ed to the exercising of an option which the Borough Authority had held for sev- eral weeks and which would have expired the end of this month.

Set Dates For Spring Street Cleaning Mount to Spring cleaning of Joy streets is scheduled begin next Monday. Simeon Horton, street committee chairman of the Borough Council, said that a rented sweeper is due to ar- rive Monday and to spend three days here. Because it was nol neces- sary to spread as much stone on the streets this past win- ter during slick and snowy times, it is anticipated that the cleanup will move along faster ‘than last spring. On Monday, the sweeper crew will work on Main street, Longenecker road, Marietta street, New Haven street, Donegal street and Donegal Springs Road. Tuesday they will be on north and south Market street, north and south Bar- bara street, Columbia Ave. East Donegai street, north and south Jacob street, Mount Joy street and Pop- lar street. The schedule on Wednes- day will include New street, Detwiler avenue, High street South Delta street, David street, Lumber street and Manheim street. During the days indicated, motorists are urged by the borough officials and by the police department to refrain from parking in the arcas mentioned. Cooperation will make it possible for the clean-up to do a better and more com- plete job — one which will give the town an improved appearance and help in the spring “housecleaning.”
