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.

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.

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

Mount Joy is observing its
first National Library Week
with a library of its own.

The new Library Center
opened last fall and has been
an instant success. And
with no group has the library
activity been more of a hit
than with the bright-eyed
younsters who pile into the
Center on Tuesday morning
at 9:30 o’clock.

Between 40 and 50 are
now attending the story hour,
checking out books and be-
ginning to learn that the
world of books is a fascinat-
ing experience.

Last month, the center cir-
culated 1942 books and this
month appears to be headed
for an even bigger figure.

A delegation of 9 Mount
Joy people participated Sun-
day, April 25, in a dinner
meeting at Ephrata which
marked the opening of Na-
tional Library Week.
Sponsored by the District

was held at the Bergstrasser
church.
More than 80 people fron
all parts of the county at-
tended, inspected the Ephra-
ta library and the Historical
Society's museum.

tives of library boards and
staffs were:

erts, Henry G. Carpenter,
Mrs. Donald Shaub, Robert
Shank, Rev. and Mrs. C. E.

State Inspects Sewer Plant
Reports of fish kills in
Little Chiques creek and
charges and rumors of irreg-
ularities at the Borough Au-
thority sewage disposal plant
have been much in evidence
in the area the past few days.
Talk of ultimatums to the
Authority, rumors of wells
which have produced ‘bad
odor water” and of break-
downs in the sewage dispos-

-A one-hour concert will be

We wonder how many of
our readers saw Walt Dis-
ney’'s movie, “Mary Poppins”
while it was in Lancaster.
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.
Such appreciation and
such recognition give us en-

couragement concerning the
tastes and morals of the Am-
erican people. 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!

On Tuesday of this week a
delegation of two was in
Harrisburg and talked with
state health officials relative
to the situation.
The regional office of the
state health department (in
West Reading) had a man in
Mount Joy this week to

James Metzler, Terry Hamil-
ton and Gray Greiner. JoAnn
Gish and Jill Schatz will
play a flute and clarinet duet
and Nancy Marley will be
narrator for the program.
Four marches, including a
routine by the majorettes,
several novelty numbers and
others will be included on
the program.
The local concert also will
have variety as the ninth
grade chorus takes the stage
and sings several numbers.
Kathy Brown, Carolyn
Blantz and Judy Emenheiser
also will sing.
The Tiparillo pavilion last
year served to present more
than 300 musical and dance
groups. The schedule for ’65
is even more intense with
nearly 700 performansec ex-
pected.

No tax increase for sup-

trict is anticipated for this
year, it was indicated Thurs-
day night, April 22, as the
school board held its April

sed the 1965-66 budget.
The present slated expen-
ditures total $1,759,015, of

der.
While most budget items

Acting on recommendation
of its engineering and finan-
cial advisors, who supported
the position that purchase is
“economically feasible”, the
Authority agreed to the pur-
chase.
Details of the transaction
still are to be worked out
with_ engineers, attorneys and
bonding people.
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.
In a preliminary full dress
discussion of the situation
with attorneys, engineers and
fiscal agents, tentative plans
were laid — depending upon
decisions made this week—
to do three things:

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.”
