Survey to Study
Smoking Habits
Information about smok-

CAREFULLY CHOOSE
FRUITS FOR SHOW
In choosing fruit for fairs
or shows, select those that
are most representative of
the variety. These fruits must
be properly colored, conform
to variety standards, and be
free of bruises and blemish-
es. Try to have display fruits
as uniform as possible by
making careful selections,
urges Carl S. Bittner, exten-
sion pomologist at the Penn
State university.

@ An Edi
The township's location
places it on the doorstep of
both Mount Joy and Marietta
boroughs with only Maytown
as its exclusively heavily po-
pulated section.
Not many months ago the
township lost Florin when
that area annexed to Mount
Joy:
Now proceedings are under
way for taking more than
100 acres away from the
township and add it to the
borough of Marietta.
And, also in the wind is
talk about what
pen at Donegal Heights — an-
other ‘suburbia’ area which
is part of the immediate Mt.
Joy borough.
Annexations
suburbia away
townships create headaches
and prcbhblems for the town-
ship, for heavy financial rev-
enues are generated in the
suburban sections. There are
many people, valuable prop-
erty and tax dollars become
important.
Continued fragmentation
of the township area causes
increasing inefficiency in the
operation of that municipali-
ty. For instance, whether a
big, expensive machine is
used on 50 miles of road or
200 miles of roads makes no
difference in the original
costs or has little to do with
the depreciation.
Yet, loss of area keeps
whittling away at the capa-
city of the township to be ef-
ficient.
Divided areas of suburban
responsibility further add to
the capacity of the township
to efficiently offer wanted
services to the residents of
those areas.
Sewage is an excellent ex-
ample.
If the township is to offer
this service, it actually faces
three different sewage prob-
lems — the edge of Mount
Joy (Donegal Heights); the
edge of Marietta (Irishtown),
and Maytown. Fortunately, it
is possible to tie the latter
two together to accomplish
the purpose. The other re-
mains an unsolved enigma.
The Donegal Heights resi-
dents have made beginnings
toward some solution to the
sewage problem in their area.
However, two of them in-
clude the use of Mount Joy
which take
from the
Borough's existing disposal
plant.
An engineering study sug-
gests:
1—Lay a sewer line to Mt.
Joy’s disposal plant:
2—Install a fall out sewer
line from the Heights’ sect'on
to the nearest pcint with Mt.
Joy’s big trunk 1'ne, and
3—Build its own disposal
plant.
The engineerng survey in-
cludes guestimate costs but
the figures have not been
made public.
Suburbia and the
ship are joined where the fi-
nancial responsibility presents
itself for furnishing services.
tion and disposal, police pro-
tection, streets and roads and
others are involved.
And, it is axiomatic that
the suburbs furnish many of
the dollars to keep the entire
COMPLETES COURSE

area going.
Not an unrecogniz-1 part
of the total pictu.c is the
fact that suburbia, by its
very nature requires consid-
erable service.
As an example—rural pop-
ulation can more nearly help
itself during times of heavy
snow, Farmers have machin-
ery and know how to buck
through drifts and to clear
vital passages. The suburban
dweller, on the other hand,
boasts as his heaviest piece of
might hap- | €duipment his car — which is
probably the most vulnerable
to snow:
While the rural resident al-
ready is where he needs most
to be, the urban man feels
that he must get on the
streets and roadways to drive
to a job which perhaps is at
some distance from home.
These then are some of the
matters which at the . same
join together suburbia and
the township while at the
same time they are almost
the exact same ones which
keep agitating the talk and
action to separate the two.
