A news story in the Phila-
Inquirer last week
told of how a Catholic
church in Chester had the
poor “boxes have been empty
since a certain young man
bégan showing up for early
mass. ‘Detectives were called.
One worked inside of a con-
fessional box. Another posted
himself in a car outside.
They corresponded by walk-
ie-talkie radio.

A young man drove into
the parking lot but circuled
and left. The officer in the
car followed. Young man en-
tered an Interstate road. Of-
delphia
ficer radioed ahead and a
road #Block intercepted the
suspect.

Suspect admitted cleaning
out poor boxes. Stolen credit
cards were found on him and
he admitted that the car he
was driving—a 1961 Cadillac
—was stolen. Yes, stolen in
Mount Joy, Pa.

Mount Joy police have had
no report of a stolen 1961
cadillac!

Of course, there is a Mount
Joy in Clearfield county. Pop-
ulation? About 360.

When we think of the nice
things which have happened
during the 1968 ‘‘summer
season’ we find that two an-
noying road conditions have
beén improved by the state
highway people. :

The Little Chiques ereek
bridge on Manheim street
and the railroad bridge on
New Haven street both have
had much of the “hump” ta-
ken out of them. At both
bridges, workman built up
both ends of the approaches
to take out a lot of the quick
rise and drop Which is not
appreciated by the motorist
or his passengers.

It's time to begin keeping
in mind that on Sunday, Oct.

back to Eastern Standard
Time.

Sometime Saturday night,
the 26th, everyone turns his
clock back one hour. In oth-

‘Of This and That’
All of our children’s edu- .
cation in 1968 doesn’t come
from between the covers of
a book!
It’s true that much of it
does, and ‘‘reading, writing
and arithmetic’ are still the
backbone of our educational
system. But there is much
more to it than that—school
buses, TV sets and various
other factors enter in!
Fer instance:
Last week the kindergarten
children of Mrs. John Toppin,
Mrs. William Groff and Mrs.
Zelah Bender at the Washing-
ton school were loaded into
big yellow buses for a trip
to the Hershey Zoo.
It was a gay time. As one
kindergartener said, ‘ ‘We
saw snakes . . . monkeys . .
and bears . . . and a great
big trout . . . and rabbits . .

and all sorts of things’
And another little fellow,
with big round eyes and a
twinkly grin, said, “And we
got a cup of ice cream . . .
it was chocolate and a
candy kiss, too!”
This is the first year that
the kindergarten children
have been taken on ‘field
trips,” but from the enthus-
iastic response of the young-
sters to the Hershey trip, we
predict that the first trip will
not also be the last one!
As one mother said, ‘“The
teachers must have done a
wonderful job of guiding and
explaining things to the chil-
dren—it seems to me our
youngster got more out of
the trip than if we’d taken
him ourselves!”

Then there were the high
school biology classes that
went on a field trip on Tues.
day to Chiques Rock, over-
looking the Susquehanna.
They learned first-hand a-

ACCEPT BID TO REMODEL FORMER ACME MARKET BUILDING
Borough Council gave a
contract to remodel one
building and began negotia-
tions to buy another Monday
night at its October meeting,
held in the Friendship Fire
hall.
On a bid of $15,615 EI
mer Z. Ginder was given
authority to remodel the old
Acme Market
Main street.
To help solve a recurring
problem of manning the bor-
ough’s emergency telephone
and radio system, steps were
taken to lease or to buy the
trailer in which the equip-
ment is located.

Wood Street
Work Progresses
Wood street, between Plum
and the overpass, is knee
deep in construction work.
The project, one of the bor-
ough’s chief street jobs for
1968, has reached the stage
of rebuilding this week. And,
instead of appearing to get
worse; the anticipation is
that the street is improving.
For weeks, the area has
been in a turmoil as curbs,
utility poles, drainage pipes,
inlet basins etc. have had the
street next to impassable.
A week or 10 days ago the
situation became even worse
as the construction company
began excavating the old
roadbed to bring it down to
grade and to provide proper
sub-surface ballast.
Now, however, trucks, men
and machinery are refilling

It’s A First
In Mount Joy
It’s a first in Mount Joy!
This week the local post
office received its first piece
of motorized equipment — a
red, white and blue step-van
type vehicle.
It will go into service later
this week hauling special de-
livery packages, delivering
relay mail and doing what-
ever hauling jobs are needed
by the postal service here.
The vericle will take the
place of civilian station wag-
on which has been used on a
lease basis to take care of the
local mail handling.
The truck, a Dodge, has
been used slightly, but on
delivery had fewer than 3000
miles. Service will be hand-

® An Editorial
The following, clipped from a county weekly
paper, is a letter written to the editor of the Nash-
ville Banner, and is entitled, “I Am a Reactionary!”
A great many people have enjoyed it. For what it
is worth, we share it with you.
“Just for the record—and without apology—I
AM A REACTIONARY! I re-act to sin and sadism,
riots and revolution, gutlessness and godlessness!
I react to Hedonism and humanism; to philoso-
phies and sophistries which seek to destroy those
values which made this
country great; which
fashioned the fabric of civilized mankind.
I re-act to dancing the permissive polka with
those who'd whirl me all the way to Hell while
whispering that God is Dead
and the Devil a
myth; to those ministers who'd convert my house
of worship into a hootenany hall or political for-
um..
I re-act to the emasculation of my Faith in the
name of humanistic togetherness; to my love for
the Holy Bible, my loyalty to the flag and my es-
teem for the police.
