Have you had a look at
the new street lights along
the borough's main thorough-
fare?
® © o
The 66 new lamps, which
were installed recently be-
tween the railroad crossing
and Longenecker Road, are
of the improved mercury
type. And, they make Main
street “light as day.”
® ® °
One of the interesting
things about them is the way
they turn on and off at dusk
and at dawn.
® © o
Atop each lamp is a red
projection which looks very
much as if it would be an
oversize neon tube ‘starter.”
That “red thing” is an elect-
ric eye which automatically
opens and closes the switch
on that particular lamp.
® © o
At eveningtime, the eye
closes the switch and the
iight burns. At dawn, the
same magic piece of equip-
ment opens the contracts and
the light is “outened.”
® © eo
Each of the new lamps is
individuallp controlled. This
is not the case with some of
the other lights in the bor-
ough, including some of the
other recently installed mer-
cury lamps.

It’s interesting to note that
at least one of these electric
eyes has a problem from oth-
ers. The one we have in mind
is on a lamp which is near
several heavily foliaged trees.
The limbs tend to shade the
eye. Thus this particular lamp
is turned on a little earlier in
the evening than most of the
others. (But, it costs the bor-
ough no more for all lights
are charged on a flat month-

Nurse Asking
For Dental Aid
Mrs. Sadie Brooks spoke
to the Mount Joy Lions club
recently and made an appeal
for funds for the continuance
of the Donegal School Dental
Clinic. The Mount Joy Lions
Club together with the Florin
and Marietta Clubs were in-
strumental in getting this
Clinic started years ago. Af-
ter that the State subsidized
the Clinic in paying for the
services of the Dentists for a
period of about two years.
This has now ceased and con-
tributions must now be rais-
ed from local organizations
for the continuance of this
work. Fourteen organizations
have been contaacted for con-
tributions to date.
President Jay Barnhart
was in charge of the meet-
ing. The attendance was very
good for a hot summer even-
ing with several visitors pres-
ent.

The Brandt twins, Walter (left) and Paul, smile
happily as they cut their 75th birthday cake at a sur-
prise party Thursday, August 4. Walter lives on Mount
Joy R1 and his brother at
Elizabethtown.

An Editorion
Have you noticed the yellow leaves on the
new oaks along Main street?
Most all of the young trees which have made
such wonderful growth during the past two -er
three years are now having a bit of trouble.
Not that they are in immediate danger of dy-
ing but in a way they are slowly starving te
death.
The problem is a common one
in Lancaster
county for the soil is a little on the sweet side for
young oak trees.
Actually, and specifically, the problem is one
of lack of iron in the leaves of the trees. The iron
id in the ground but it is “locked in” in such a
way that it does not reach the leaves.
And, the iron is needed for the vital process
of turning food into growth. The iron is part of
the photosynthesis process which changes carbon
dioxide and water into carbohydrates by the ac-
tion of sunlight.
