Mount Joy Rotary club, as
do all Rotary clubs around
the world, places a high val-
ue on community service —
especially service by its in-
dividual members. Rotary be-
lieves that men should ren-
der a service to their com-
munities as one of their prin-
cipal responsibilities of citiz-
enship.
® Oo o
It has become a custom in
the Mount Joy club to recog-
nize such outstanding service
by the presentation of a rose
—a symbol and a token only,
of course — but nevertheless
a public recognition of a job
well done.
® oo o.
Last week such a presenta-
tion was made to Dr. David
Schlosser, a long-time mem-
ber of Rotary, who this
month resigned from Donegal
school board after 19 years
of service,
® © ®
Whether or not it is com-
mon knowledge within the
community, we do not know.
But, it is a fact that school
board members serve with-
out pay — giving countless
hours of time, energy and
thought to the manifold and
fantasticly complex problems
of public education.
® $ %
Not only has Dr. Sshlosser
been a member of the board
of education, he has served as
president—an even heavier
responsibility and duty.
® © o
Appropriately, the presen-
tation was made by John G.
Hart, a professional school-
man, former principal of Don-
egal high, and now assistant
supervising principal in
charge of curriculum. Who
better than a school adminis-
trotor understands the high
role played in the American
system by a conscientious
member of the school board?
iw ® ®
The Bulletin, too, speaks
for the community when it
adds its voice of appreciation
and thanks to Dr. Schlosser
for his long, faithful and val-
uable service to the schools
of our community.
® eo eo
We've been waiting 10
years for this announcement.

The Mount Joy Chamber
of Commerce has ordered, ac-
cording to its president, Har-
old Keller, big “Mount Joy”
signs to erect at the edge of
the borough, welcoming vis-
itors and travelers.

Tribe Wins Two are Injured Fi
First Half
Donegal’s football Indians
were on the war path during
the first half of Saturday af-
ternoon’s game against Hemp-
field.
In the second half they
tripped up somewhere and
then in the final seconds of
+he ball game fell fiat on their
taces and bowed to a big 33-
20 score.
Played on the home field,
the game looked very ‘Green’
-—a bright Irish green the col
or of Donegal—during the in-
termission with the score-
board showing a hefty 20-7
lead as the result of a touch-
down in the first and a pair
in the second period.
But, in the third, the sky
fell in and the Knights of
Hempfield rolled across three
markers to a 26-20 lead as
the players exchanged goals
at the end of the quarter.
Final humiliation came
with about a second remain-
ing when still another coun-
ter was driven across from
the four.
Donegal took to the air
Saturday with good results,
stacking up 183 yards on a
nice .529 percentage of com-
pletions. It was the best day
of the three-game season from
the airways.
The three big TD’s in the
first period came as Quarter-
back John Hay forwarded to
Mike Kyler. Bill Sprecher
booted both the Donegal ex-
tra points by placement.
Hempfield, on the other
hand, used the infantry-sys-
tem attack, slogging along on
the ground for 378 yards by
rushing and driving hard at
the Donegal line.
This week the Tribe has an
Oct. 1 date at Solanco, tak-
ing to battle a record of two
losses and a tie.

Are you looking for some-
thing interesting to do this
week end?
If so, we enthusiastically
recommend spending a few
hours at the October Craft
Days at Landis Valley Mus-
eum. Right on our doorstep is
a wonderful attraction that
would be worth traveling
hundreds of miles to see.
In the fifteen or twenty
minutes it takes you to cover
the distance between Mount
Joy and Landis Valley, you
can be “transported,” as in a
TV “time tunnel”, back into
the past. You can enjoy in

That’
by the editor's wife
from your parents or grand-
parents—drying apples, mak-
ing wine, cider, apple butter,
sauerkraut, corn meal, and
candles.
You can watch butchering
and the dressing of meats,
flailing and winnowing wheat,
threshing, log - cutting and
cornhusking, straw cutting
and the stuffing of mattresses.
You can see six beautiful
Belgian horses pulling a
Conestoga wagon . . . you can
eat apple dumplings hot from
an outdoor oven . . . and
watch square dancers cavort-
ing as they would have at an
old-time husking bee!
It is truly a wonderful op-
portunity to step back into
the past briefly, and to under-
stand something of what was
going on in our beloved Lan-
caster County 50, or 100, or
even more years ago!

Devoted to the Best Interest and Welfare of Mount Joy
SEVEN CENTS
A Mount Joy area land
owner is one of three in Lan-
caster county to file suit a-
gainst the Manufcturer’s
Light and Heat company,
seeking to prevent construec-
tion of a 20-inch natural gas
ine across their lands.
The action was filed in
County Court Monday by
Noah S. Myers and his wife,
Barbara, of Harrisburg, who
own a tract of land east of
the Borough in Rapho Twp.
The land is north of the
Roy Breneman farm on high-
way leading from Elm Tree
school to the Manheim-Mount
Joy road.
SECOND RUNNERUP
les Suit Against Gas Line
Myers’ farm, purchased not
many months ago, is the pro-
posed site of a sizeble devel-
opment which the owner zaid
would include a cemetery,
convalescent home, an audi-
torium and other facilities.
The gas line presently is de-
signed by the Pittsburgh own-
ers to cross the Myers land
in such a way that the devel-
opment would be greatly af-
fected, Myers says.
Myers is represented by
John W. Beyer of the Jaw
firm of Arnold, Bricker, Bey-
er and Barnes.
The suit charges that right
of way for the line is being
taken illegally.

State Improves
Mila of Street
A mile of improvement on
Road 230 in Mount Joy was
virtually completed this week
by the state highway depart
ment. Beginning at the west
borough line, near the Key-
stone diner on west Main St.,
a resurfacing job was com-
pleted to the old borough
line, just. west of the Mount
Joy Box company’s plant.
A small amount of addi-
tional work will be done on
the berms.
Tuesday the state crew
moved activities to Fairview
street, beginning at Main.
accompanying herself on her
guitar.
In the evening gown com-
petition she was lovely in a
white crepe, featuring a
scoop neckline, floor-length
bell skirt and bugle beads on
the bodice.
Although a number of local
people, including her family,
attended the activities of the
contest, her official chaper-
ones were Mr. and Mrs.
James Gingrich.
Contest winner was Doris
Ann Lausch of Lancasier and
first runnerup was Tracy
Stambaugh of Leola.
Help in Hauling
Water to York
Mount Joy had a part ia
the handling of the water
shortage emergency in York.
Until only a few days age,
three of SICO’s blg tractor
trailer trucks were involved
in a 24-hr. per day battle to
keep water in the mains of
the York community, hauling
from Wrightsville and from
Columbia.
The big tankers, carrying
5,000 gallons per load, were
hauling ten Joads per day
each and two and three driv-
ers were necessary to keep
the rigs rolling almost con-
stantly. Each truck moved
50,000 gallons per 24-hour
day.
With the coming of rains a
few days ago, the situation
has eased and SICO trucks
have been taken off the wa-
ter hauling run.
Modern music covers a
multitude of dins.

An Editorion
Mount Joy has had a good summer!
We're speaking of the local supply of water which
is pumped into the borough
system, providing for
homes, factories, offices, schools, churches — everyone
in the community who has reason to turn a faucet.
Although there was never a real reason for putting
restrictions on use of water in Mount Joy, there were
times when the supply in Little Chiques creek was low
and those responsible for management of the water
works watched gauges and water levels with anxious
eyes.
There was a time or two when the situation was
on a week-to-week basis. Vacations at fortunate times
by some big users happened to coincide with the low
creek levels, so emergencies were averted.
