The accident occurred a- bout 2:15 Monday afternoon as the bus was returning pu- pils home from school. Walter A. Nau, 65, driver of the bus, had stopped at the Samuel Getz home to al- low 77-year-old Kathleen Getz,- Maytown pupil to alight. - As the bus stopped, a car also {traveling east, came to a halt behind. Kathleen started up the driveway to her home. At that moment the convert- ible, also moving east, and driven by Robert C. Carna- than, Columbia R1, came ov- er a slight rise in the road. The driver, apparently failed to realize the situation until too late. are $1. Analysis of the test is $5.

Love is the state of mind in which a man can pay the bills without a frown. ates the spring and its con- necting facilities, had asked the state department of for- ests and water for 86< 000 gallons per day. When the spring was vart of the privately-owned Florin system, heid by General Wa- terworks corporation, it had an allocation from the Com- monwealth of 200,000 gallons per day. However, the water assignment does not rove forward automatically from one owner to the next and Mount Joy has been obliged to enter its own request. When allocation petition was entered an objection ras made in the name of the Donegal Fish and Conser- vation Association, which is interested in preserving a- quatic recreation along Char- les Run and Donegal creek, which carry water from Charles spring. Resolution of the problem has been hanging for a mat- ter of menths. Thursday, An- thony M. Lunetta, chief of the division of dams and en- croachments of the Depart- ment of Forests and Waters, held a hearing. Also in atten- dance were members of the authority and its legal and engineering counsel, Kenneth Depoe to speak for the Done- gal Fish and Game Conseiva- tion Association, and Sarnuel W. Hall, district fish warden. After hearing all who had information to give, Luunetta proposed the half-million gal- lon per day figure and all concerned agreed, subject to official sanctions, where necessary, to accept the com- promise. The agreement includes the provision that the 500,000 figure is the limit which is to be drawn now or within the future. The only exception would be in times of ‘‘wet weather cycles” when there is an emergency situation. The agreement further set out that the authority shall begin at once to explore the sources for additional water supply for Mount Joy and that within five years it shall have a plan and be ready to place it in operation. He fur- ther said that his information indicates that the 500,000 allocation should take care of local needs for that period. The hearing had brought out that there is a very strong indication that before toe many years, a county authori- ty will be formed to furnish water from the Susquehanna to communities over a wide area—Maytown, Rheems, Xli- zabethtown, Mount Joy, Lan- caster, Lititz, Manheim, New Holland and perhaps others along the proposed 60 to 72 inch line. As proposed, that authority would operate a purification system at the river and pipe water for wholesale distribution to the presently organized water system. It was pointed out that the water problem is becoming one which must be faced on a big, broad basis. In detailing his compro- mise, Lunetta said that his investigation shows that the allocation will leave at ‘east ing in Charles Run and add- (Turn to page 4) THIS ISSUE -- Two Sections 24 PAGES
