by R. A. R. Mount Joy’s new interest in industrial expansion takes different shapes. Most fre- quently expansion indicates the opening of a new factory ® o ® But, actually, industrial expansion also is as simple as expansion of already ex- isting factories or industries. ® @® ® Rumor is that Mount Joy's Auto Litho plant again is to be expanded. A couple of years ago a sizable addition was made to the original building at Market and Frank streets. ® ® ® That business is growing by leaps and bounds and is doing printing for every maj- or company in the field it serves. Additional people are being added and more room for the business is needed. @ ® @ As we are told by those “in the know” Auto Litho ex- pects to build southward at the east end of its present building. ® ©® oe Similar expansions have been made by other plants in the community and if present expectations materialize, Na- tional-Stanlard may do the same thing in the not too far distant future. Quick Deek Kill First deer to be reported to the Bulletin office Monday morning was that of William H. Way, 123 east Main street, 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. William Way. It was a 3-point, 140 pound buck, shot at Mount Gretna at 8:30 Monday morning. This was William's first time out for deer. Mount Joy's ONLY Newspaper VOL. 66. NO. 26. Board to Reorganize Reorganization of Donegal District school board is sched- uled for Monday night, Dec. 5. As required by law, the district directors will hold their annual meeting the first Monday of December. The Donegal directors also have previously arranged to hold their monthly meeting the same night in the library of Donegal high school. New Phone Dial System Ready All number identification (ANI) will begin Sunday, De- cember 4, for many Mount Joy telephone customers. It will be more telephone users in this exchange area in the next month or two when addition- al-equipment is delivered. This service enables the switching equipment in the central office to record the calling party's telephone number, as well as the called number, so that the custom- er dialing a toll call will no longer have to give his own number to an operator. This new service increases the accuracy of billing toll calls, as well as speeds the time for getting the call through to the distant party. With this new service pul into effect, the Columbia-Uni- ted Telephone company com- pletes a $100,000 improve- ment and expansion program for 1966 for its Mount Joy customers. provided for MOUNT JOY, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1966 — Devoted to the Best Interest and Welfare of Mount Joy SEVEN CENTS Christmas Lights Ablaze In Borough * The Christmas begun—offticially!

Beahm junior high school, members of both the Bor- cugh Council and the Bor- ough Authority heard discus- sion of the way ‘managers’ operate in two other commu- nities in Lancaster county. The session was a ‘‘ques- Piano Artists Give Greatly of Themselves One of the worlds greatest pianists once said, “If I do not practice for one day, 1 know it. If I do not practice for two. days, the critics know it. If I do not practice for three days, the entire world knows it.” This was his way of imply- ing that the piano is one of the most demanding of mus- ical instruments — requiring the absolute fidelity of those who would produce concert music. This, too, points up the de- votion given by two Mount Joy artists who on Saturday night, Nov. 26, gave to their community deeply of them- selves as they played beauti- ful music in their fourth two- piano concert. Mrs. Ethel Broske and Dr. David Schlosser, accomplish- ed musicians individually, outdid themselves as they performed together for an audience which virtually fil- led the Donegal high school auditorium. The concert was Ssponsor- ed by the Mount Joy Busi- ness and Professional Wom- BULLETIN NEW TELEPHONE NUMBER ££ = CTT -2400 en’s club and the Mount Joy Rotary club, of which the artists are respective mem- bers. Their program ranged from “Japanese Sandman” to the first movement of Bach’s “Concerto in D-Minor, des- cribed as ‘a musician’s mus- ic’ and the wonderful and brilliant “Rhapsody in Blue” of George Gershwin. The audience found simila- rities for appreciation in “Sandman’’ and the Gersh- win number. Americans who were young in the 30's and 40’s found reveries of ro- mance and beauty while the young felt melody and the beat of the blues. ‘Romance’ and “Valse” a pair of Arensky numbers were the only two used which were written original- ly for two pianos. All the other numbers were brilliant arrangements which disployed technique and mu- sicianship as the two per- formers blended their skills, switching from first to second piano. Playing as one to meet the exciting requirements of the arrangements was the ful- fillment of the many many hours of single and duo re- hearsing over many many weeks. Schumann’s “Concerto in A-Minor” one of the world’s three most popular concertos wag one of the highlights of the evening.

Mrs. Alice Heilman report- ed that during September 1,440 books were borrowed. The same month in 65 cir- culation was 1,252. Similarly, in October, ’66, there were 1,783 books loan- ed as compared with 1,580 a year ago.

Brubaker, 45 South Ave., Landisville, has com- pleted a clerical course at the Army Training Center, Fort Knox, Ky., Nov. 25. During the eight - week course, he was trained in Army correspondence, prep- aration of reports and other clerical skills. His wife, Bonnie, lives at 82 N. Charlotte St., Manheim. from Ephrata and from New Holland, president of the Ephrata borough council, At- torney Ralph Barley and Aft- torney Edgar Barnes. It was established definite- ly that from a legal stand- point , sanctioned by counsel of both council and authori- ty, it would be lawful to establish a manager in Mount Joy. Attorney Barnes, however, pointed out the pitfall which his office sees in such a step. That problem, he felt would be the necessity of the mana- ger to be responsible to two different boards (council and authority). Barley, on the other hand, saw no insur- mountable problems, pointing out that the functions of both bodies are for the public in- terest and that in effect, the manager, as well as the indi- vidual groups, would be working to serve the best in- terests of the people of. the community. By question and answer it was established that Mount Joy and New Holland have much in common from a mu- nicipal viewpoint. Such mat- ters as taxes, size, income, debt, etc. are similar in many ways. Two of the visitors who have had long experience with operation under a mana- ger type government were strong and emphatic that a ‘growing and expanding” borough cannot afford to be without full-time leadership. New Holland's manager, who by basic training is an engineer, said that cost of his office is approximately $16,- 000 per year. That figure in- cludes his salary and that of two office girls. In New Holland, the mana- ger’s office handles virtually all of the borough functions except collection of local tax- es and management of the police force. That borough owns and operates sewer and water plants not too dissimi- lar from Mount Joy. One ex- ception is that the sewer sys- tem has been functioning for a considerably longer time. A number of ‘“fringe’ ques- tions were asked of the visit- ing borough leaders concern- ing police pay scales, fire companies, etc. as Mount Joy men were eager to learn and to compare Mount Joy's prob- John Day III, James Mad:ra, Harry Farmer and Simcocn Horton.
