Police Chief J. Bruce Kline
said Wednesday morning that
this Halloween season was
unusually “quiet.” There
were, of course, a few inci-
dents—one rather serious —
which called for police ac-
tion. The chief pointed out
that it seemed that Sunday
nights brought out some of
the chief problems from the
teenagers.

Library Exhibit
Open to Parents
The outstanding new lib-
rary books for children,
ranging in age from 4 to 15
(and of special interest to
parents and adults) will be
on display at Grandview El-
ementary school Library from
Nov. 6 - 10. Here, in an or-
ganized exhibit, is an oppor-
tunity to see the books that
are making educational and
cultural history. The display
will be open from 8:30 a.m.
ioc 3:30 p.m.
Fifty-three publishers have
cooperated to present an in-
dustry-wide and complete
exhibit that school systems
and libraries across the
country have acclaimed over
the years as an indispensable
book reviewing and ‘selection
resource. In range, it covers
more than 60 subject classi-
fications. In addition, curri-
culum-related, annotated
and completely indexed cata-
logues, which make the
books of one’s interest imme-
diately accessible, are free
io teachers, librarians, and
other professionals. A feat-
ure of the catalogues is a
special breakdown of books
qualifying for purchase un-
der the National Defense Ed-
ucation Act. Both books and
catalogues are related to
each other by a numerical
numbering system.
For every E.ementary and
Junior High pupil — not to
mention the parent or adult
aware (or who might like to
become aware) of what to-
day's exciting and stimulat-
ing juvenile books have to
contribute — there are stor-

School Employee
Suffers Fatal Hurt
In Auto Crash
A Donegal school district
employee, on his way home
from work, was killed in a
freak auto accident on
Wednesday night, Oct. 25,
on Mount Joy’s Main street.
Bernard Spanier, 38, a
custodian at the Seiler ele-
mentary school, and his
wife, Lillian, were driving
north on Barbara street. At
the Main street intersection,
their car collided with an
eastbound auto driven by
Bennett Fulmer, 71, and his
wife of Lanacster.
The Fulmer car veered to
its left, missed a truck,
crossed the southeast corner
of the Union National bank
parking plot and its land-
scaping and slammed into
the side of the B. W. Scho-
field home and barber shop.
The Fulmers essaped with
cuts and bruises, which were
treated at St. Joseph's hos-
pital.
Spanier, a former resident
of .New York City, was tak-
en to St. Joseph's hospital in
the Friendship Fire company
ambulance but died shortly
after arriving. His wife suf-
fered multiple cuts and her
condition was listed as criti-
cal.
The Fulmer car struck the
Schofleld house with such
force that it buried itself in
the building past the wind-
shield.
Considerable damage to
the house was done and was
estimated at approximately
$3,000 by the Schofields.
Funeral services for Span-
ier were held Sunday after-
noon from the Hernley Men-
nonite church and burial
was made in the adjoining
cemetery.
The Spaniers lived near
Mastersonville on Manheim
R.D.

Council to See
Bicycle Movie
Something new will be
added to the monthly meet-
ing of the Mount Joy Bor-
ough Council, which will
hold its November session on
Monday night, Nov. 6, in the
fire hall.
As a continuation of a dis-
cussion concerning the riding
of bicycles on the borough
sidewalks, a movie is to be
shown on the subject, “The
Day the Bicycle Was Stolen”.
The film will be shown by
Trooper Grazer of the Lan-
caster state police headquar-
ters.
A month ago a petition
bearing the names of a num-
ber of local citizens was pre-
sented to Council by James
Buckius, Donegal Springs
road. The petition suggested
that young children on small
bicycles be allowed to ride
on sidewalks in selected areas
of the community.
NO ACTION BY STATE
On July 18, Donegal school
district presented to the state
board of education a petition
seeking to annex for tax
purpose a tract of land at
the east edge of Mount Joy
borough.
As of this week, that hear-
ing—soon four months old-—
has progressed through offic-
ial channels not one inch far-
ther than it did the day the
case was presented.
The reason for this delay,
the Bulletin learned this
week from Harrisburg, is that
the stenographic {ranscript of
the hearing has not yet been
made.
Thus, the State Board,
which has responsibility for
the decision, has not consid-
ered the matter beyond the
testimony taken in July.
It was learned however,
that transcripts of other hear-
ings on July 18 have been
completed and returned to
Muzzle Measles Sunday
Donegal high school will
be one of the many places
throughout Lancaster county
where the war against meas-
les will be waged Sunday
afternoon, Nov. 5.
The ‘muzzle measles’ cam-
paign, is for boys and girls
who have not had measles
or who have not previously
had immunization.
Donegal high school will
be open from 1 until 5 p.m.
and representatives of the
various medical organizations
will be on hand to administ-
er the shots.
No one will be turned a-
way but for those who can,
a contribution will be asked
to help defray the cost of
lhe expensive vaccine and
other supplies needed.
The program is . being
sponsored by the Lancaster
City-County Medical Society
and the Lancaster County Os-
teopathic Society, with the
cooperation of the Pennsyl-
vania Department of Health.

A spokesman told the Bui-
letin that even if the trans-
cript of the Donegal case is
received at once, it will be
too late to give it a place on
the agenda for the Nov. 15-
16 agenda of the state board.
There is no meeting of the
board scheduled for Decem-
ber.

The petition by Donegal
district follows a series of
events which began many
months ago when Mount Joy
was selected as the site for a
new National Cash Register
plant.
As part of the conditions
for location in this commnity,
the tract of land upon which
a fine, new plant is now near-
ing completion, was annexed
into the borough of Mount
Joy from Rapho township.
To maintain existing boun
dries and to keep school and
local governmental district
lines in balance, the scnool
in time sought annexation.
That petition was denied
the county board of educa-
tion, which voted to keep the
tract in the Manheim Cen-
tral school district, where it
had been as part of Raoheo
township.
When the school’s ann<xa-
tion petition went on to the
state board—as is routine —
the matter was heard on
July 18, 1967.

Next Tuesday Mount Joy voters, as well as ciiiz-
ens in many other places, go to the polls!
But, in Mount Joy, the taxpayers of the commun-
ity will be asked to vote “yes” or “no” on an impori-
ant matter which will have a big influence on the coin-
munity for a long long time.

vote is a vote for a borough manager and
A “No” vote is against the
borough manager and a watering down of the start
Mount Joy has made in the past few years toward an
improved community.
The decision is almost as simple
as that. Either
the borough continues to move ahead or it will slip
into the background as other communities continue
develop around us.

Mount Joy has promise of a bright future, bui it
wi!l take management and planning. It will take more
time and effort than any
of the present part-time
amateurs have to offer. It will take more time than
they can spare from their own jobs.
Unless Mount Joy is willing to take a progressive
step forward, Mount Joy will take
backwords.
