Within the past few days
the Mount Joy Borough Au-
thority has taken one of the
most important steps for-
ward that this community
hos seen in many years. It
has looked the situation
straight in the eye and has
had the courage to gather to-
gether the reigns of respon-
sibility and to take action.

We refer to the decision to
buy the Flodin Water com-
pany.

If the price sounds like a
big amount of money, we ag-
ree. If you say that in addi-
tion to the $307,000 purchase
price there will be more ex-
penses, we agree. If you say
that it could have been
bought a few years ago for a
fraction of the price, we ag-
ree that pdobably you are
correct.

Whatever your feelings a-
bout the purchase, we must
all face up to the situation
as it exists right now — in
1965.

Mount Joy’s present water
system is reaching critically
near its capacity. If the
community is to have water
for its needs for the present,
as well as for the future, ac-
tion was mandatory.

No responsible prediction
—locally or nationally — in-
dicates anything but a com-
ing water shodtage as there
are more and more people
using more and more water.

Mount Joy Borough
Authority was wise to act
now. It will not be many
years before citizens of the
borough will look back to '65
and comment that “one of
the smartest things Mount
Joy ever did was to buy the
Florin water company.”

Mike Pricio told me a good
yarn last weekend. As he was
ready to close his clothing
store at E’town Friday even-

breathlessly from a young

BAD TIRES CAUSE

America. Is your life worth

Call Pre-Election
Forum ‘Success’
Mount Joy’s first Pre-Elec-
tion Forum was a satisfact-
ory success!
A disappointingly few citi-
zens attended the Junior
Chamber af Commerce spon-
sored ‘“‘good citizen” affair
in the fire hall Wednesday
night, May 12, but the For-
um did seve as the spring-
board from which some po-
tent and important ideas of
government were spelled
out so everyone understood
what and why.
With Ray Bair as chair-
man, Jack Horner of Eliza-
bethtown, member of the
state legislature, spoke brief-
ly, several contested candi-
dates for public office talked

Candidates for nomination
who spoke included Robert
Kline, William Mateer, John
Tyndall, Simeon Horton,
Clark Berrier, James Spang-
ler, Henry Becker Jr., James
Roberts and Glenn Wolge-
muth. George Groff had his
biography read by the chair-
man and Sam Dock, un-
opposed Democratic nominee
for mayor, talked briefly.
Most confined themselves
to their personal qualifica-
tions.
However, a thought-pro-
voking talk by Candidate
Spangler pointed up some of
the problems of the borough,
The Jaycees are being en-
couraged to repeat the pre-

Rotary Hears
‘Recall’ Program
A “recall” program, fash-
ioned from the musical “Lil’
Abner,” was given Mount
Joy Rotarians and their sons
and daughters Tuesday noon
al Hostetters.
The annual boys and girls
day program was presented
by five talented Donegal high
school members of the music-
al’s cast. The show was giv-
en several weeks ago at the
D. H. S. auditorium.
Mrs. RoAnn Lau, who di-
rected the production. accom-
panied the players Tuesday
noon at the piano.
Mike McDowell was mast-
er of ceremonies with a
style and flare which set the
tempo and action for the
young players.
Others on the program in-
cluded Kathy Brown, Steve
Brightbill, Carolyne Blantz
and Ken Shoemaker.
pervisor, said that the work
—although the crew was not
completely familiar with the
equipment—was going along
nearly twice as fast, that the
loads appeared to be twice
as large and only three men
were required as compared
with four in the past.
The big compactor truck
receives the trash, garbage,
ashes and refuse of all kinds,
and hydraulically squeezes
them into the huge steel bin.
One man drives while two
others empty containers into
a conveniently low hopper.
When the two men who ride
a step in the back of the
truck want the driver to
move the truck forward, they
have a button they press
which rings a bell in the cab.
Supervisor Kaylor said
last week that he badly needs
the extra man off the garbage
truck to do other borough
work.
Since Florin has been an-
nexed, the time necessary
for collecting garbage and
trash has been lengthened
and Kylor has found that the
normal spring work -—— grass
mowing, street patching, etc.
—all take time which his
crew has found hard to
squeeze into the schedule.

Held Prisoners In Home
A former Mount Joy boy—
Samuel T. Keller—has figur-
ed in a real-life TV terror
story!
Last weekend, on Saturday
night, Keller and his wife
were held prisoner in their
Florida home, for 2% hours
while three men threatened
their lives and searched for
valuables.
The men forced their way
into their house, manhand-

threatened to kill their dog.

Keller's ties and left in the
maid’s car.
The intruders wanted jew-
elry but most of socially
prominent Mrs. Keller's val-
uables were in a bank safe
deposit box.
Keller is a retired manu-
facturer’s agent. Mrs. Keller
is quoted as saying, “When
something like this happens,
I'm ready to pack up and
move to Pedunk.”
