Definite details are not for-
mulated, but Mount Joy is in-
volved in a proposed major
Construction project which
possibly will become very
upsetting to a number of peo-
ple—both now and in the fu-
ture,
® oO o
The project involves the
building of a 20-inch gas line
which likely will slice thru
many parcels of land in the
area—some of which are not
only prime farm acres but
are directly in the line of
both planned and easily vis-
ualized future developments.

Although it appeared to be
of routine nature, a meeting
held this week by the Lan-
caster County Planning Com-
mission may well have an
important bearing upon
Mount Joy’s development.

The basic problem involv-
ed is “What effect can a big
gas line have upon farming
and development?”
® ©o ©
Although farmers may use
the land they ‘sign off” for
agricultural purposes, there
still remains the matter of
what side effects are caused
to agriculture.
® o o
Perhaps more important is
a ruling which now will pro-
hibit biulding within 100 feet
on either side of the line,
leaving a 200-foot corridor
through any area in which
ithe main is installed.

The corridor will exist for
many years and will be a

Memorial Day Plans for Mount Joy
Another Look at Zoning
Monday® night, June
could be an interesting ses-
sion of the Mount Joy Bor-
ough Council.
On that night, as now
scheduled, the council will
sit as a committee of the
whole to consider rezoning a
piece of land on west Main
street which is part of a pro-
posed Weis supermarket lo-
cation.

Jury Commissioner
Mrs. Evelyn S. Divet, 20
Poplar St., was named Repub-
lican jury commissioner to
fill the unexpired term of the
late Mrs. Florence L. Starr,
who died April 19.
Mrs. Divet’s appointment
was announced this wee’k by
Judge Joseph Wissler as pres-
iding judge of the Court of
Common Pleas of Lancaster
“ County.
The term expires Jan. 1,
1970.
HOME FROM HOSPITAL
Henry Klugh, 43 Columbia
avenue, is convalescing at
home following a stay of
11 days in St. Joseph’s hospit-
al following a heart attack.
6,ing followed consultation last
week between Zoning Com-
missioner Omar Groff, Coun-
cil President Geo. Groff and
Borough Solicitor Harris Ar-
nold.
The question to be heard
would be whether or not to
change a decision made at
Council's May meeting, when
the matter came up for con-
sideration.
Originally, the Mount Joy
Zoning Commission had stud-
ied, held a hearing and voted
to recommend that the area
be zoned from “residence B”
to “commercial.”
When the recommendation
was presented to council, it
was overruled unanimously.
The area under considera-
tion is a strip of land which
is part of properties owned
by A. W. Beamenderfer and
Jacob Stauffer. Both are un-
der option by Weis. They are
situated between the Kinsey
Arrow shop and Orchard Rd.
facing onto Main street.
Both properties, plus an-
other which is under consid-
eration but is not optioned,
are divided by a zoning line
which makes the south por-
tions ‘commercial’ and the
north divisions ‘residence B’.
The north section abuts the
south line of properties which
face onto Birchland avenue.
Past is Preserved At Marietta Museum
Take a town clock, in good
working order, an obsolete
dungeon cell used for law-
breakers many years ago, a
rudder from a huge river
raft used on the Susquehan-
na in the early 1800s a fab-
ulous collection of 269 books
on the history of the Civil
War.
Add a “Country Store,” an
old-fashioned school room, an
unbelievable collection of
“never-worn”’ shoes from the
18th to the 20th century, a
bathing suit worn in 1880.

“We felt that furniture can

in many homes in the area.

They have done a good job ;
of this, too, for in the Coun-

finds literally thousands of
items, such as scales, spice,
cracker and coffee cans, a
cheese cutting board, one for
boloney, rug beaters, lan-

Mount Joy will be a busy place this weekend!
Beginning Friday night and continuing almost uninter=
rupted, the activities of Memorial Day will follow thick
and fast through Monday night, June 30.
Although the big parade Saturday afternoon at 2 o’-
clock is perhaps the biggest °
‘crowd catcher’ the other eve
ents will all provide fun and entertainment for hundreds.
For those who like to eat, there'll be a chicken barbe-
cue and an ox roast. For those who like to participate, there
will be swimming and trap shooting. For those who like a
spot of culture, there will be the annual
those who would rather sit
quietly and be entertained,
there will be the first “mu-
sic in the park” program of
the year. For those who feel
the patriotic and religious
importance of the Memorial
Day weekend, there will be
appropriate services. For
those who are young in heart
and enjoy tripping the ‘light
fantastic’ there will be a
dance.
And—for those who would
like to see the monkeys,
there will be a meeting in
SICO park Sunday afternoon
of the Simian Society (3 p.
m.)
For a complete program,
see the program elsewhere
in The Bulletin, courtesy
of the Mount Joy Community
Council, which is sponsoring
the four-day affair.
Expected for the parade on
Saturday are some 15 bands,
both high school and profes-
sional, which will parade
more than a mile along
Mount Joy’s Main street.
There will be dozens of in-
teresting parade displays.
Among the many parade
‘pieces’ this year will be a
static display of the “GAM 72

the United States Air Force.
