wrong with the “Music in the

Saturday night's attraction
— The Couriers — drew the
largest crowd of any in the
series of ‘bring your own
chairs” concerts,

Charles Ashenfelter, chair-
man of the Council’s commit-
tee on park attractions, said
that as he stood on the plat-
form to introduce the gospei
singers he felt that the crowd
was even larger than -the
highly successful concert
earlier in July by the com-
bined choirs.

The programs have been
varied — tuned to different
tastes in entertainment. Each
has had an appeal all of its
own and the Couriers were
no exception. The crowd sat
relaxed in family and
friend groups to escape the
heat and to enjoy the pro-
gram, the park and the beau-
tiful night.

Such outdoor concerts do
not pose the problem of seat-
ing which at one time was
part of arranging such a pro-
gram. People now flnd it no
inconvenience to bring along
their lightweight folding
chairs and to set them up at
any available and suitable
spot which pleases their fan-
cy.

DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTERESTS AND WELFARE OF MOUNT JOY AND ITS AREA
VOL. 65. NO. 8
MOUNT JOY, PENNA. WEDNESDAY, JULY 28. 1965
Sufficient Water Supply
For Mount Joy Borough
Water! That one word is
one of the most important
facing this part of the coun-
try—now and for the future.
However, as of now, Mount
Joy is not in a serious or ev-
en needy situation. That
statement covers both the im-
mediate needs for 1965 sum:
mer and for the next few
years.
Although some areas are
actually facing a critical
shortage this summer, Mount
Joy is in good shape.
Sufficient water for norm-
al needs is coming down Big
Chiques creek and the fiuitca-
tion plant is handling the de-
mands upon it without being
labored.
In addition, within the
very near future — perhaps
within a week or two — a
special hookup between the
Mount Joy and Florin water
systems is to be made. Florin
can provide tremendous
quantities of water, if need-
ed.

To Begin Paving Soon
Within the next few days
the 1965 summer street im-
provement program in Mount
Joy will begin to make a
showing.
Street Commissioner Sim
Horton said last week that
shortly after August 1 the
state highway department
will come to town to do two
pieces of work.
One is on Manheim street,
where property owners have
been installing curbings dur-
ing recent weeks.
First work by the state
will be to do some patching
and leveling to correct some
bumps. The finish coat will
be installed by machine to
give a fine, new smooth sur-
face.
As of last week, only one
property remained to instail
curbs along the area where
they are being required by
the borough.
The other state project is
on Donegal Spring road be-

Instead of “knee deep in
June,” as James Whitcomb
Riley, the Hoosier poet, so
aptly expressed it, we're
“knee deep’ in the last week
of July, with August peeping
its head around the corner.
It doesn’t seem possible
that two-thirds of the sum-
mer is gone . . . but ask any
school child and he'll tell
you rather woefully that
there are only four weeks
left now until the first day
of school!
Traditionally, these hot
days of July and August are
known as ‘‘dog days’. Ac-
cording to the folk lore with
which we grew up, dogs com-
monly went mad at this time
of the year because water be-
came scarce and they could
nol get enough to drink,
Be that as it may, our “dog
days’ are not traditional in
Mount Joy this year, for we

Nat’l Farm Safety Week
July 25-31 has been proclaimed National Farm Safety
Week by President Lyndon B. Johnson.
Co-sponsors for the 22nd annual rural safety campaign
are the National Safety Council and the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. Special emphasis this year is being given
to preventing accidents
involving
slow-moving vehicles,
chemicals, and electricity and in recreation.
The President urges that
vigorous new efforts be made
to eradicate hazards and rec-
tify unsafe practices which
cause farm and rural acci-
dents.
“Progress toward this ob-
jective should be the goal of
National Farm Safety Week
1965,” he said.
The latest yearly break-
down of farm resident acci-
dents shows a total of 8,400
deaths and 780,000 injuries.
Of the deaths, 3,600 were
motor-vehicle, 2,000 were in
the home, 2,600 were work
accidents and 800 resulted
from non-motor vehicle acci-
dents.
“Rural leaders and farm
families are making a joint
effort to reduce accidents”
says Howard Pyle, president
of the National Safety Coun-
cil.
“Today’s farm family can
prepare itself for accident
prevention by eliminating
hazards and making skillful
use of modern farming equip-
ment and production aids.”
STUBBLE FIELD FIRE
Florin Fire company was
called about 2:30 o'clock, on
Monday afternoon, July 26,
to the Irvin Musser farm, RI,
to extinguish a fire in a
stubble field.
Fire was believed to have
spread from a project of
thistle burning. There was
no serious damage.
