TE The Mount Joy
by R. A. R.
Last week we told you a
story about a horse. The
week before there was the
fascinating tale about a goat.
This week we relate the an-
tics of two birds.
® oo o
Mrs. Wilbur I. Beahm, of
Donegal Springs Road, was
out hanging up wash one
day recently when she saw
a baby robin near her wash
basket. The next time she
looked there were two baby
robbins on the basket.

She shooed them away
and went into the house,
thinking that their mother
probably was nearby
® © ®
But, in a few minutes she
saw the pair on the sill out-
side the kitchen window.
Wondering if they were hun-
gry, she looked around and
finally decided to try bolog-
na. So, with a piece in her
hand, she went out onto the
back porch and sat down. To
her amazement, the little
ones hopped right up into
her lap, opened their mouths
and all but said, “Feed us,
now!”
® oe o
And, feed them, she did.
Breaking off little pieces of
meat, she carefully, and
with shaking hand, she ad-
mits, dropped the bites into
their awaiting, upturned
mouths.

Mrs. B. called to a neigh-
bor, who came to see the
sight.
“Well,” said the neighbor,
“I wwouldn’t have believed it
unless I had seen it.”

The rumors floating out of
a neighboring area about
“someone buying land” fin-
ally are out in the open. We
have heard that the area is
to become everything from a
duck farm to a horse track.
One wag even suggested
that maybe the Philadelphia
Phillies are going to locate

N-S To Ask
Annexation
Of Plant
Decisions were made in
Niles, Mich., Wednesday
morning, June 30, by Nation-
al-Standard Company to seek
annexation to Mount Joy for
its new plant and property
east of the borough.
Details of the procedure
were not outlined, but clear-
ance through company offic-
als was completed and legal
manipulations will now be-
gin.
The plant and its property
east of the borough line, is
located in Rapho township.
Information of the decision
to seek annexation came
from Frank Barron, secre-
tary of the company. It was
not anticipated that neces-
sary legal work could be
cleared in time for a petition
to be in the hands of the
Borough Council by the July
meeting time.
Postal Service
Halts on Monday
Postal service in Mount
Joy will be at an absolute
minimum on Monday, July
5, in observance of the
Fourth of July.
There will be no window
service and no delivery ser-
vice in the borough or on
rural routes.
The post office lobby, how-
ever, will be open until a-
bout 9:30 a.m. and lock box
patrons may pick up early
mail which will be sorted
and placed in boxes.
The only mail to be = dis-
patched will be a ‘Sunday’
type pickup of mail deposited
before 4 p.m. in the box in
front of the office.
‘Of This and That’
“Here comes the bride!”
In how many churches in
Lancaster County and across
the country have those words
echoed during the month of
June?
The number of times
would be astonishing, no
doubt, for the popularity of
June as a wedding month
greatly overshadows that of
the other eleven months!
Having attended two wed-
dings, and having been in-
vited but unable to attend
several others, we find our
interest in this perennial ac-
tivity considerably heighten-

And, as we observe and
read of weddings in this year
of 1965, we are beginning to
wonder if the ‘‘fashion” of
weddings is undergoing a
little change at the present
time.
Why do we wonder, you
say? Two of the weddings to
which we were invited utiliz-
ed a regular church service,
complete with hymns, scrip-
ture, organ music and ser-
mon, for the wedding cere-
mony.
As we spoke to other peo-
ple of this, we discovered
that this is not uncommon,
that it often occurs. We were
told that one young couple,
not wishing to stand during
the “sermon,” were seated in
front of the minister on beau-
tiful Victorian side chairs.
(The chairs were their own,
wedding gifts from the
bride’s parents, and will al-
ways be doubly precious be-
cause of the part they played
in the ceremony.)
Another couple, after en-
tering the church with their
attendants in the traditional
fashion, was seated in the
