ae NY by R. A. R. Monday night Mount Joy Borough Council will hold its November meeting. One of the items of business expect- ed to examined is the matter of the proposed, new borough building. What, if any action will be taken is a matter of anyone's guess. Council could accept the plan which has been pro- posed by its building commit- tee calling for an estimated $80,000 expenditure. It could accept an entirely new sug- gestion, it could table the pro- ject entirely. Or, it could do about anything it wants. ® ® a A few nights ago council called a special meeting with the idea of “sampling” public opinion. About 30 different people did attend and most expressed some kind of an opinion on some subject or other. ® oe © But, the response to the called meeting was something less than satisfactory. The number of people attending was disappointing. Li] ® ® Actually, council has full power to move ahead immedi- ately with the program, if it wishes. There is no obligation to have the problem “put on the ballot.” Even the special meeting was not necessary. Council has complete author- ity to make its own decision. ® ® ® At this point, however, it begins to look as if the pro- ject which began as an at- tempt to replace the borough shed at what was anticipated would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $20,000, needs to be given more con- sideration. ® © © Rather than a “yes or no” vote on Monday, the whole thing should be restudied and more time given to feel the pulse of the people. ® © o It the proposal of building a home for both the borough (Turn to page 8) BULLETIN Mount Joy's ONLY Newspaper Devoted to the Best Interest and Welfare of Mount Joy VOL. 66.

MOUNT JOY, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1966 SEVEN CENTS VOTE - NEXT TUESDAY - VOTE Tribe Stops Tide, 13-7 A fourth-quarter blocked punt gave Donegal’s Indians their second win of the season on Saturday as the Crimson Tide of Columbia was turned back, 13 to 7. It was a treasured victory which foliowed a 7-7 half- time score. The triumph came when Columbia punted from the 14. The ball was blocked by Phil Hossler. The ball rolled back into the end zone and Hossler fell on it for the score. Columbia made a couple more threats but interceptions by Hossler stopped the drives Donegal scored in the sec- ond from the 37 with Bill Stohler carrying. Bill Sprech- er kicked the extra point. Co- lumbia had counted in the came frame as Larry Sump- man went in from the one. A pass play gave the extra point. e—— QUEEN CANDIDATE Among thé junior nominees for Homecoming attendant at Juniata college is Suzann Esh- leman, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Robert Eshleman, R. D. 2, Mount Joy. Theme of the annual Homecoming affair to be held November 12, is “Ori- ental Mystique.” The vote is being held in Totem Inn on campus by sec- ret ballot this week, under the supervision of Student Senate. The queen and her attend- ants will reign over the full schedule of activities planned for the popular campus Home- ‘Of This aid That’ Mount Joy did it again! Did what? Had an extremely interest- ing and well-attended par- ade! If you were one among the thousands who watched the Halloween Parade Saturday night, we believe you will agree! Witches, goblins, ‘“muns- ters,” horses ponies, calliopes, baton-twirling girls en masse, fancy-stepping drill teams, colorful bands, beauty queens, gaily decorated floats — all these, and more too, were on display in Mount Joy's par- ade Saturday night. The weatherman cooperat- ed, providing a crisp, clear, cool night with a full moon overhead. All of the beautifully and cleverly-dressed marchers, the musical groups, and the designers of the floats deserve great praise for their ingen- uity and enthusiasm. But to us, one of the great- est thrills of the evening came when the Donegal high school band paraded and played in front of the judges’ THIS ISSUE -- Two Sections 24 PAGES by the editor's wife stand, with sparkling precis- ion and heart-warming gusto! It was quite a sight! They gave evidence of an amazing “esprit d’ corps” and many hours of faithful practice. If they had been wearing their new uniforms, which are due to arrive any day now, it would have been almost too much! Even in their old ones, we thought they looked MIGHTY GOOD! * * * Irvin Musser, who lives on Mount Joy R1, came into the Bulletin office on business the other day. After this was fin- ished, he said, ‘I read with interest your comments about the Lancaster County Day Tour and Open House. I would like to have gone on the tour, too.” It seems the Mussers are in the process of restoring and redecorating the old farm- house in which Mr. Musser’s grandfather lived for many years, so he would have been greatly interested to see some of the homes on the tour which have been restored. “Our house was probably built between 1795 and 1805” he told us. “It had been stuc- coed many years ago with a mixture of sand, cement and hog bristles.

Mount Joy Borough coun- cil upped the fees at a regui- ar meeting this fall. Police Chief J. Bruce Kline said this week that new vio- lotions tickets in the familiar envelope siple are stili be- ing used but that instead of being red, as in. the past they are yellow.

Framed in walnut, border- ed in gold, with her name hand-engraved, the citation congratulated her on her 100th birthday and commend- ed her for the clean living and healthful life which had made its attainment possible. Miss Hoffman, oldest mem- ber of the congregation of the Crossroads Brethren in Christ church, also received good wishes from many of her friends in the church during the day. Authority Pushes Payment Action to collect a number of delinquent accounts was launched Tuesday night, Nov. 2, by the Mt. Joy Borough Authority at its monthly meeting, held in the fire hall. A recent survey of its books indicates that approximately $1,700 in 30 accounts is due the water department for in- stallation of replacement ser- vice lines. These delinquent accounts Erect New CofC ‘Welcome’ Signs Two fine, big signs — one at each edge of Mount Joy on Road 230 are being erect- ed this week by the Chamber of Commerce. Both are to be illuminated with high intensity neor: tubes to attract night-time travelers. One is to be on the east just below the Little Chiques creek bridge, on the north side of the highway, and the other at the west edge of the borough a short distance east of the Keystone diner. Both signs had their pre- mier Saturday nite, riding on a truck in the Halloween par- ade. Harold Keller, president of the Chamber of Commerce, said this week that erection of the pair of signs represents a long pull by the chamber to have some kind of ‘“wel- come’ displayed along busy Road 230. It has been the de- sire of the C of C to have these signs to call attention to the community to thous- ands of motorists who use this highway. Plan Ta Clear New Bank Loft Arrangements have been completed by the Lancaster County Farmers National bank to increase the size of its parking lot at the Mount Joy office. The bank has purchased the Swarr property at 7 West Main street, adjacent to its parking lot, and soon the house and other buildings will be removed. The plan is to grade the lot to the level of the pres- ent parking area and to ma- cadam the entire site. Work may begin later this fall and it is anticipated that the house will be entirely re- moved by early spring. Weis Submits Building Plans Plans for constructing a new Weis market on West Main street were submitted this week to the borough for approval before breaking ground for the building. Such matters as zoning are involved. THANKSGIVING VACATION Donegal district schools will observe Thanksgiving vaca- tion on Thursday and Friday, November 24 and 235. Doctors have been placed in the hands of the authority’s attorney. A letter indication that ae- tion is be taken will be sent those delinquent and a 90-day ‘no interest no pen- ality” grace period will be extended. At the end of that period, further action will be taken. The Authority alsc Tuesday night authorized its engineers to proceed with plans for iin- proving the pumping station at the newly-acquired Florin spring on Spookey Hill road. Plans call for a number of improvements, for which bids are asked in this issue of ihe Bulletin, including a line from the pump station to the near- est sewer inlet. The line, estimated to cost about $8,000, would carry salt solutions from the water softening equipment, into the borough sewers rather ihan being discharged into spring’s stream. Bids are to be accepted at the December meeting of the Authority.
