letter
from State Senator Richard
A. Snyder this week in which
he comments, in passing, up-
on the Mount Joy Memorial
Day parade.
®e o o
One sentence said “It re-
flected credit on Mount Joy
as a community. It is partic-
ularly appropriate that we
keep these patriotic observ-
ances, in this jaded age, and
it was a perfect example of
its kind.”
We had a personal

We, too, are proud and the
entire community should take
a measure of justifiable pride
in our effort to keep alive for
our children the heritage
which was given to us by our
fathers.

A piece of “old business”
was begun this wetk as B. D.
Kreider and Sons of Manheim
began again the work on Old
Market street.
® ee o
Last summer the streei was
slated for rebuilding but a
number of unanticipated
problems — including drain-
age and soft sub grade—slow
ed and finally stalled pro-
gress before cold and unsuit-
able weather.
& ®e o
This week the final
coat is being applied.

Twenty-five years ago a
city police chief who had
learned his trade and earned
his title the hard way told
me, When the weather gets
hot, look out. There'll be
trouble.”
ee eo o
That’s the long hot sum-
mer mechanism at work.
® ®e ©
It’s not only in the cities.
It is at work everywhere.

For instance — Not many
nights ago, right here in Mt.
Joy, a small gang of local
lads (home from college) were
getting a bit too enthusiastic
along Main street.
® © ©
The police became involv-
ed and things got ‘‘sticky.”

If the boys mind their ‘P’s’
and ‘Q’s’ things may turn out
all right.

But — hot weather breeds
trouble.

The new Donegal high
school tennis courts have
been a source of difficulty ev-
er since the idea originated.
There have been delays,
delays, difficulties and diffi-
culties.
® oO ©
Under construction for
many months, they now stand
locked and out of use. The
plan had been to keep them
open for anyone interested to
use. They were to be avail-
able as long as they were not
abused.
® ® ©
However, complications
have arisen. The green sur-
face does not withstand nor-
mal tennis usage and is torn
up by any pivoting or sudden
stopping.

Also, the area immediately
surrounding the outside has
not been cleaned and land-
scaped by the builder (F. C.
Fese company) as agreed, the
school administration says.

Borough's Garbage Prob!/em Solved
The battle of the garbage
pail has been joined and won!
Won by the borough council!
Beginning Monday of this
week, Mount Joy's garbage,
trash a nd miscellaneous
waste is being hauled to Lan-
caster and deposited in the
landfill there.
The hassle about garbage
disposal began several weeks
ago and built to a crescendo
that crashed with a stunning

figure
silence at the June
of council when the
$105,600 was mentioned.
The borough had advertis-
ed for bids to collect, haul
and dispose of all local gar-
bage and trash. Only one bid-
der responded, asking the a-
bove figure to perform the vi:
tal service for a three-year
‘period.
First reaction of the coun-
cil was one of shock. How-
ever, within a few hours the
members of council went in-
to action with vigor and as of
now, they have learned of
two landfills which can be
used satisfactorily, probably
one more which may bs av-
ailable and perhaps still an-
other.

kets to enjoy the program,
meet their friends and neigh-
bors and to see beautiful
Memorial park.
Mrs. Mildred Sloan direct-
ed the children’s choir, ac-
companied by Mrs. John Hart
at the piano while Miss Dor-
othy Schock directed the ad-
ult choir, which was accom-
panied by Mrs. Ethel Broske.
The climaxing number of
the evening featured the lat-
ter group, acompanied by
both Mrs. Broske and her
son, George, in the stirring
Ringwald arrangement of the
“Battle Hymn of the Repub-
Ye.”
Taking special parts for the
group in various numbers
were Verna Brandt, Buella
Smith, Mrs. W. Spickler, Rob-
ert Shearer, John Way and
Gerald Bender.
Singing solo parts with the
children were Robert Berg

and doing interesting things.
To name you a few:
Mr. and Mrs. John Zeller
and son Brent, Pinkerton Rd.,
have returned from a two-
weeks vacation trip, during
which they visited with their
son, Terry, professor of his-
tory at the University of Ar-

year.
Among the first people from
Mount Joy to attend ‘Expo
67”, shortly after it opened,
were Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Sentz, daughter Shirley, Don-
egal Springs road, and Bonnie
Engle. They reported an in-
teresting trip enroute, and
enjoyed the Montreal fair,
but admitted that ‘“the lines
were pretty long” at all the
major attractions.
Dr. and Mrs. David Schlos-
ser and family are planning a
novel vacation next month.
They will be traveling in a
deluxe Dodge house car for
two weeks, will visit “Expo
67’ and Dr. Schlosser will
play in a major bridge tour-
nament in Montreal.

which time the council wil}
reconvene special meeting.
The bids of B. R. Kreider
and Son of Manheim was low
with a figure of $25,018 for
the full docket of work pro-
posed for this season. How-
ever, an alternate proposal
for doing north Barbara
street would have lowered
the bid to $22,071.93.
Bidders submitted propos-
als for giving Barbara street
an inch covering of bitum-
inous material and another
for giving it an ‘oil and
chip” treatment.
One of the major pieces
of construction slated for the
summer is Orchard road, be-
tween Main and Birchland.
The area long has been a ser-
ious problem, emphasized
several years ago when
Grandview school was built.
About the same time, a num-
ber of new homes were built
on Bruce avenue and Orchard
road, further complicating
the situation.
A narrow roadway, partial-
ly blocked by ‘a residence

serious drainage problem had
existed for many years.
