a fi EI a RT LD R. A. R. The June issue of ‘“Wash- ington Reports”, published by the Chamber of Coin- merce of the United States carries an article entitled, “How Communities Create New Jobs” which has a par- ticular interest for Mt. Joy. ® © o Keep in mind that Mount Joy — for a community its size — has had unusual in- dustrial growth within the past few years. ® © © Keep in mind, also, that Mount Joy has not reached its full potential of growth. It will not be easy but here is a part of what the writer has to say on the subject: ® © @ “New industry is a prize plum sought after by an in- creasing number of communi- {ies. Many, once opposed to “more factories,” are learn- ing that new jobs have a multiplying effect which touches and benefits all lev- els of the community. ® © © “A study conducted by the National Chamber several years ago demonstrated how new jobs create demand for more services and consumer goods in a community. Each additional 100 industrial workers brought about the addition of 359 more people, 100 more households, $710,- 000 more personal income, $229,000 more bank deposits and $331,000 more retail sales per year. The dollar figures, of course, would be higher if adjusted for pres- ent day values. ® © © “Local and state govern- ments have the prime res- ponsibility for preparing a community for new industry. But because government is controlled by political situa- tions which change from ad- ministration, to administra- tion, chambers of commerce — nonpolitical in structure and concerned about total community development — are better able to carry the responsibility. ®e © ©o “A study made by Notre Dame university showed that financial aid was almost at the bottom of the list of fac- tors which influenced the lo- cation of new plants. Items such as access to markets and raw materials, labor supply and degree of unionization were considered more impor- tant. ® © ©o “Surprisingly 80% of in- dustrial growth in a commu- nity is the result of expand- ing existing industry. Where once this possibility received insufficient attention, cham- bers are now conducting pro- grams specifically tailored to help solve local industry problems.” ® © © The last statement about growth of industry already within the community ap- plies very pointedly to Mt. Joy. ® © © Our thriving industry is making constant growth. This summer a sizable building program is under way by Donegal Industries. Auto Litho had expected to launch a building program but just before plans were completed it was possible, unexpectedly, to rent a sizable area in the (Turn to page 2) THIS ISSUE -- Two Sections 24 PAGES BULLETIN Mount Joy's ONLY Newspaper — Devoted to the Best Interest and Welfare of Mount Joy VOL. 68.

Robert Kline raises racing pigeons . . . other people go “rock hunting,” collect coins, restore antique cars to ‘mint’ condition, breed harness horses . . , Morrell Shields, instrumen- tal music teacher in the Don- egal district, has chess play- ing as his hobby. Recently he was runner-up in the Lancaster County chess tournament. But he also plays chess by mail! At the present time, he is play- ing chess with 11 opponents all over the world.

Only one play can be made at a time, of course. It is sent by air mail, and the postage is 13c. It takes three or four days for it to reach its destination, so it is easy to see why Mr. Shields esti- mates that the tournament will take a minimum time of two or three years.

Correspondending regularly as they do over a long period of time, the players usually becomes friends, unless there is a language barrier that prevents their communicat- ing.

Oh, wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursel’s as ithers see us. —Robert Burns ® An Editorial What has happened in America? I'll teil you what has happened in America. Every person in a position of responsibility, every person in any kind of leadership position and person who has thought of every himself as a responsible citizen has had a piece of his respect whittled away. That is what has happened in America since Jchn F. Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy have been cut down by gunfire on the streets of. this nation. Every person who calls himself a man country is less of a man today than in this he was before. And, in his heart he feels it now more than he did a month ago. If positions of leadership, responsibility and of ar- ticulation are to be hammered down—yes, and even made the target of the assassin’s bullet — then every man has suffered a little loss of his nobility. Can you guess how many men today may consider a little longer, hesitate a little more, withhold them- (Turn to page 3)
