The time has come for
Mount Joy to have an opin-
ion!
® eo o
If Mount Joy has an op-
inion about where to locate
a nearby interchange on the
new by-pass, it is time for
that opinion to be formulat-
ed and expressed in the
right places.
® ©
Shortly — very shortly —
designs will begin on the new
roadway around Mount Joy
and interchanges will be
planned. Before the "design
begins, someone is going to
tell the engineers where to
locate the interchange which
is closest to Mount Joy.
J @® ®
There seem to be four
possibilities. Namely — on
the Manheim road at the ‘S’
curves; at the Mastersonville
road on the Cedar Tree road
or on the Colebrook road.
2 e ©
The interchange immedi-
ately west of the Big Chiques
creek on Route 230 is assur-
ed, apparently.
® ® ©
One step toward getting a
Mount Joy opinion is plan-
ned by the Chamber of Com-
merce. Shortly a mail vote
will be taken among the
members, giving each person
an opportunity to express his
opinion.

This week we call to your
attention a horse story. For
the details you'll need to ask
Fire Chief John Myers.

Here suffice to say that
the chief and his family were
enjoying a back yard barbe-
que one evening recently
when suddenly a horse vaul-
ted into the back yard drag-
ging behind him a long rope
tied to two truck tires.

Bank Golf Meet Robert Rosser Promoted On Dean’s List
The Lancaster County Far-
mers National Bank, Mount
Joy Branch, held its annual
tournament for golfers of
the community at Indian
Springs on Saturday, June
19.
A total of 43 golfers parti-
cipated in the event.
Roy Packer and Pat Mec-
Kain were top winners, the
former turning in a 78 card,
the latter showing an 81.
In the handicap section,
John Charles was low man,
shooting a 92 with a 23 han-
dicap for a 69 net. He was
followed by Robert Brown
with 92-21-71.
Winners received trophies.
Baxter Wells won a special
prize for driving the nearest
to the flag on the 18th hole.
However, it remained for
Len Cybulski to stir the big-
gest sensation of the day. On
the long, par 5 hole (535 yds)
he scored an eagle three,
holing out with a three iron
from 160 yards out. It was
likened to a ‘hole in one”
sensation.

Review Proposal To Annex New Plant
One of the questions being
asked this week is, “Will Na-
tional-Standard ask to be an-
nexed to Mount Joy Bor-
ough?”
The poser is an aftermath
of a meeting held Monday
night, June 21, at Friendship
Fire company hall at which
the possibility of such an ac-
tion was completely discus-
sed.
Members of Borough Coun-
cil, Borough Authority, Don-
egal Union School district,
representatives of National-
Standard and a number of
interested citizens attended
the meeting.
Whether or not the com-
pany’s property at the east
edge of the borough becomes
part of the borough probably
rests in the hands of Nation-
al-Standard top level offic-
ials who will review the sit-
uation, based on information
received Monday night.
Attending the meeting as
representative of N-S was
Frank Baron, company secre-
tary, and the local plant
manager, Charles Ebeling,
Neither is empowered to
make commitments on the
subject of annexation.
However, Baron asked
many questions concerning
taxation, community service,
municipal and school financ-
ing and about plans for im-
mediate capital investments
in buildings or other facili-
ties.
Answering legal questions
was Harris Arnold, borough
Donegal Drops Voc.-Ag.
Donegal high school stu-
dents who enroll in vocation-
al agriculture will be trans-
ferred to Elizabethtown Area
high school, it was decided
last week by the Donegal
Board of Education.
Decision finalizes a matter
whieh has been under study
and review for many months.
The small number of stu-
dents interested in the course
and the high cost of main-
taining the program were
important facters. Vote was
5 - 2 to take the step.
Changes in the assignment
of music teachers were ap-
proved as follows:
75 PLUS PARTY
Approximately 155 pesons
attended the ninth annual
Seventy-Five Plus Party,
sponsored jointly by the
Mount Joy Jaycees and Joy-
cees.
This year’s party was held
June 17th at Hostetter’s Ban-
quet Hall. A turkey dinner,
complete with all trimmings,
was served. Richard S. War-
ren gave a talk and showed
slides of covered bridges.
Prizes were awarded to
the following people and in
these categories: Oldest man
attending, Harvey Ebersole;
oldest woman attending, Mrs.
Lizzie Copenhaver; birthday
closest to date of party, Mrs.
Amelia Myers Fike and Dav-
id Strickler; couple maried
the longest, Mr. and Mrs. J.
W. Musser; and most living
generations, Mrs. Barbara
Heilig.
Co.Chairmen for the affair
were: Gerald Lutz, past pres-
ident of the Jaycees, and
Mrs. James Beck, past presi-
dent of the Joycees.
Mrs. Mildred Sloan, vocal
music at Marietta and May-
town; Mrs. George Broske,
vocal music at Grandview,
Seiler and Washington
schools; Morrell Shields, in-
strumental music at the high
school annex, Maytown and
Marietta; Ralph Lehman, in-
strumental music in the high
school, Seiler and Grand-
view; and Mrs. Roann Lau,
vocal music at the annex
and high school.
solicitor. B. Titus Rutt, presi-
dent of the Authority, spoke
for that body and J. Edward
Charles, president of Donegal
Union school district, and
Supervising Principal Wilbur
I. Beahm talked for the
schools.
Arnold pointed out that
the company. which owns
land immediately adjoining
the borough, must initiate
the annexation proposais
and that if there are object-
ions to the annexation the
matter would be settled by
the courts.
Baron said that “National-
Standard wants to be a good
corporate citizen.” And later
said that whether or not a
tax exemption consideration
is granted the company is
not a determining factor as
to whether or not annexation
is proposed by his firm.
In a discussion of where
children of N - S employees.
attend school, the secretary
said that as a matter of prin
cipal the ‘‘dollars (tax
dollars) should follow the
children.”
The idea of annexation has
been a much discussed mat-
ter over a period of many
months and the meeting on
Monday was arranged in an
attempt to bring all vitally
interested elements of the
probem together,
Council O.K.'sCodification
At a special meeting of
Borough Council, held Mon-
day night, definite steps were
taken to begin the codifica-
tion of local ordinances.
Authorization was given to
begin work at once.
The project will stretch
over a period of perhaps a
year as all previous minute
books and ordinance books
are ready, laws reviewed and
recommendations made.
An expensive program,
payment will be made over a
three-year period.
Part of the program is to
make a classification and
identification study of all pub-
lic streets and alleys — a
matter which in certain cas-
es is vague and uncertain as
public officials attempt pub-
lic improvements.
The Council postponed its
July meeting from its regul-
ar date of Monday, July 3,
to Monday, July 12.
Approval also was given to
purchase a new transistor
radio, to be placed in the
new, red police cruiser,
which was delivered last
weekend.
The equipment, including
a trade-in price, will cost
$781.20.
