i gy =r R. A. R. The literary laugh of the week came a few days ago when an over - enthusiastic editorial writer did a turn on the death of Carl Sandburg. It was a good enough piece, except he attempted to use a quotation. ®e © o Unfortunately, the quota- tion he used was by Robert Frost. Many people caught the boo-boo instantly and said so. Others can sympathize with the writer for both men have some things in common. ®e © o However,, we do remember certain men for certain things. Odgen Nash, for in- stance, said, “I didn’t say it.” Dorothy Thompson said that ‘Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses’. I said ‘I never saw a purple cow. I never hope to see one. But I can tell you anyhow, I'd rather see than be one’ ”. ® ©O ® Robert Frost is the man who had trouble, while all the world watched on televis- ion, as he attempted to read a special poem at President Kennedy's inauguration. ®e © eo Well, that pin points at least three people. ® © ® But, we began with Carl Sandburg and that’s where we're getting. ® © P To remember one needs to recall only two things — 1. - That he was the meticuleous biographer of Abraham Lin- coln, and 2. - He wrote ‘“The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over har- bor and city on silent haunch- es and then moves on.” ® © 9 Of course, there’s much much more but those two would keep one out of troub- le. ® © o We have still more which may be slightly interesting, although of a personal na- ture. ®e © o Many many years ago so it seems now, (about 30) Carl Sandburg came to lecture on the campus of Indiana uni- versity. As a young reporter on the daily paper in that town, we were given the as- signment of interviewing the man who even then had be- (Turn “o page 12) The Mount Joy BULLETIN Mount Joy's ONLY Newspaper VOL. 67.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1967 SEVEN CENTS Open Three Tennis Courts Donegal high school’s ten- nis courts are open to the public! Mount Joy — Roy Wagner, John Wagner, John Wealand, Jim Gingrich Announcement was made Monday that three of the six new courts are to be left un- locked and anyone interested may try them out. However, there are {wo very important restrictions: 1. Players MUST wear tennis shoes, and 2. The courts will be left open only so long as the priv- elege is not abused and play- ers respect the property in every reasonable way. At an on-the-site inspection Friday at which representa- tives of the school and of the builders were in attendance, the situation was reviewed and the above announcement was issued. It was about a year ago that the school let bids for constructing six courts at a cost of a little more than $27- ,000. The project moved slowly and very, very little use was had of the vourts even before school closed in June. By that time there was a feeling that the green finich surface was too soft and the gates were locked.

The 26-year-old serviceman last contacted his family by letter about two weeks ago and at that time was in good health. Barry, a graduate of Bob Jones Academy at Greenville, S.

Sarasota for two cruises in the Mediterranean. When his three years were completed, he re-enlisted and chose to go aboard the super carrier, hoping to see another part of the world. Fire ripped through the Forrestal Saturday when fuel ignited. Deaths by Tuesday had been listed at more than 100 and many more men were still missing. ”, ust 8. TO CALIFORNIA Mrs. Doris Byle and son Kenneth will leave by jet from Philadelphia Saturday, for a two-weeks trip to the west coast. En route home they will stop over in Okla- homa City for a visit with Mrs. Byle’s sister, Mrs. John Bashore and family. Mrs. Byle’s beauty shop on east Main street will be closed in her absence, from Aug. 5 to 22. How long can the new Stauffer landfill be a That is a good question which no one will be able to answer until the big pit has been used for several months. The former ore mine, re- cently approved as a landfill site, will—within a few days —become the disposal site for trash, rubbish and gar- bage from Mount Joy Bor- ough. Located on the farm of Wayne Stauffer, near Marietta the deep pit is ideally suit- ed for its intended use. Isol- ated from other buildings, it is located in a small woods. The hole itself covers about two acres, Stauffer said.

The owner said that one of the first things he will need to do on the site is to clear a few trees in the bot- tom. Land in the area has a pe- culiar red quality and in the bottom of the hole can be found boulders which are un- usually heavy and have a rusty kind of color. The depth of the pit and its size suggest that the min- ing operation must have been one which needed a tremen- dous quantity of muscular la- bor—horses and men. Al- though the east end of the excavation is ‘open’ it still presents a very steep incline up which loads of iron-bear- ing material doubtless were removed. Other walls are steep. For a limited period, Mt. Joy will have an exclusive use of the pit. During that time all concerned will have -— How Long Will New Landfill Serve Boro? an opportunity to ohserve how fast the space fills up and to make some kind of an estimate as to how leng use of the location can be antici- pated. Need for landfills is a growing necessity as urban areas create more and mere waste materials which must be given disposal. Landfill operation requires that refuse be covered regul- arly. At the east end eof the Stauffer location there is a huge quantity of earth, ideal- ly suited for this purpose. To handle the job, Stauffer has added a heavy pieee eof earth-moving equipment to his farm operation. As the area is suited, the moving of the earth from its present lo- cation to the spot to be cev- ered is almost perfect. Although Mount Joy Bor- ough crews have been haul- ing local refuse to the Lan- caster landfill for several weeks, the switch to Stauf- fer’s property is expected very shortly. About $1 Mil A million dollars a mile is the price which appears prob- able for the first stretch of the new Route 230 bypass a- round Mount Joy and Eliza- bethtown. Friday, July 28, the state Department of Highways ac- cepted bids for the first 3.4 miles of that long-awaited project and the low figure proposed was $3,215,696.34. The four-lane, limited ac- cess highway section last week was for the work be- tween Mount Joy and Eliza- bethtown. Low figure was submitted by Lycoming Con- struction company of Wil- liamsport. Seven -others sub- lion Per Mile mitted bids. Other biddings will be held for other sections of the new highway. At least two others are scheduled — one for the stretch of pavement between Big Chiques creek and the eastern terminus of the sec- tion bid last week and’ aneth- er for the stretch west of the Mount Joy - Elizabethtown section. Also bid last week was a 6.8 mile stretch of Route 230 between Salunga and the Manheim Lancaster Pike. Work in that area is to con- vert the existing roadway to limited access. Roads will be closed, access roadways buitl and other construction.
