Mount Joy still is rejoicing
about the decision to locate
the new vocational-technical
school in the borough.
® © o
We say “in the borough”.
But, the facts are that only
part of the 106-acre tract is
actually inside the borough
limits. What, if anything is
to be done or needs to be
done to have the remaining
area annexed into the bor-
ough is not known at this
time.
® oe o
In fact, there is no one
who knows exactly where
the building will be located
on the tract. Nor does any-
one know whether the en-
trances will be from Fair-
view street or from Keller
road or from both. (Who said,
“Keller road”? Joseph Brene-
man, who owned the land in
that area, said so.) At one
time his grandfather, the late
Philip Franck, owned all the
land in that area, including
what Robert Keller now has).
® ® ©
Official and public decision
to locate the new school in
this immediate vicinity came
after a lengthy survey of the
entire situation.
® ® ©
A member of one of the
local service clubs (Mount Joy
Lions) showed us a copy this
week of the minutes of a
board meeting (dated early in
1963) when the possibility of
a school for Mount Joy was
discussed.
® ® oO
Information and contacts
were made even then.
® © o
And, now that the decision
is made as to exact location,
il develops that the Lions’
swimming pool and the vo-
tech school will be neighbors
across Fairview street.

One of the nice things a-
bout Mount Joy is the ‘“Mus-
ic in the Park” series, staged
each summer in Memorial
park.
® ® ®
It is a good program and
those who have been respon-
sible are to be commended.
When the weather is coopera-
tive — and that is almost ev-
ery time the park is a
place of real beauty and a
spot worthy of even .more
use than it gets.

“Music in the Park” pro-
evening, Sept. 5, it was
Charles Ashenfelter.
The concert, beginning at 7 p.m., will be giv-
en by the Bainbridge Band.
“Music in the Park” is sponsored by the
Mount Joy Community Council and is offered free
to evervone. Those who
attend should take their
own folding chairs and blankets.
Take Pupils
In the past, noon meals
have been delivered to pupils
and their teachers at Wash-
ington school. This year, boys
and girls and their teachers
will be delivered to their
meals!
A new wrinkle will be ini-
tiated this fall, Dr. Ralph
Coleman, assistant supervis-
ing principal in charge of
business, said this week.
At 11:30 a.m. activity at
school will be directed to-
ward boarding a bus for
lunch at Seiler school. As
many as 60 first and second
graders will be involved.
However, the number is ex-
pected to be smaller because
some will want to walk to
To Lunch
their homes for lunch.
Schoolmen feel that the
cost of bussing will be as
cheap and possibly cheaper
than moving food from the
high school, including per-
sonnel involved.
At the same time, Dr. Cole-
man said that cost of school
lunches this year will remain
as last year, at least for the
present. That is 30 cents for
first, second and third graders
and 35c for all others.
The fact that only three
rooms of pupils will be at-
tending classes at Washington
make the bussing arrange-
ment possible. And, one of
those rooms is kindergarten,
which removes that room
from the lunch list.
Tells Medical Center Plan
Basic facts concerning the
new, Milton Hershey medical
center, which under construc-
tion, were given Mount Joy
Rotarians Tuesday noon
their weekly luncheon meet-
ing at Hostetters.
Dr. Howard Reinert, assist-
ant to the dean of the medic-
al center, was the speaker.
The center, which is plan-
ning to accept its first class
in the fall of 1967, is situated
on a 2l6-acre tract west of
Hershey. An now designed,
the school and its 350-bed
training hospital will be built
in a crescent shape facing
westward. It will cost more
than $40 million and the sev-
en-story building will include
800,000 square feet of space.
Heads of departments al-
ready are being assembled
‘Of This and
More petunias:
- When we spoke two weeks
ago of the beautiful plantings
of petunias in Mount Joy
this summer, we couldn’t
mention them all, of course.
It would have taken a whole
page of The Bulletin, per-
haps, to do that.
It’s hard even to SEE them
all—for there are so many.
But a few more of the
noteworthy ones we want to
mention this week:
On Route 230 just east of
the borough are several ex-
tremely attractive homes,
very colorful with many
petunias.
On Donegal Springs Road,
between Chocolate Avenue
and Spooky Nook road, there

Included with the center
will be a million dollar ani-
