They come to buy “No Hunting,” “No Trespassing” and “Safety Zone’ signs in preparation for the opening of hunting season on Satur- day. Their comments as they ask for the signs are interest- ing: One man wanted to know if we had any ‘‘No Hunting in Standing Corn” signs. When we said that we didn’ he replied, “We don’t mind them hunting in the woods on our farm, but we don’t like them traipsing through the corn fields that haven't been picked yet.” (He took the “No Trespassing”’ signs, in hopes the hunters would get his message.) Another man told us, “We don’t ‘post’ our farm, because we don’t care if they hunt there. But we object to them coming too close to the barn and house, so I always put Trick or Treat Mount Joy again will ob- serve one night just before Halloween as “Trick or Treat” night, Mayor Frank Walter announced this week. That one night will be on Wednesday, October 30. In the past two or three years, the single night of trick or treat has been ra- ther faithfully observed. the mayor said and urged that the custom be observ- ed again this Halloween. by the editor's wife up several ‘‘Safety Zone’ signs. I'm sorry to say that they don’t respect them very well, though, so we're pretty uneasy at times during hunt- ing season!” So many of the signs out of the Bulletin office right now that we begin to wonder where the hunters are going to hunt! It seems almost every acre would be posted! But we've never heard the hunters complain — so evi- dently, come Saturday, they all find a place! ¥ * go * The heavy rain on Satur- day dampened our enthusi- asm for taking the Lancaster County Day Tour of Homes, which we enjoyed so much last year. We had looked for- ward all year to visiting some more beautiful old and new homes, with their fascinating variety of furnishings. But when the rain came, we couldn’t bear to think of tracking water into them with our wet shoes — so we didn’t go! ¥ * * However, on Sunday even- ing, we were invited to the home of friends in Akron for supper and we got a “mini”’-tour of a lovely Lan- caster County home after all!

This year's parade will form at 6:30 p.m. on South Market St. Park. : All persons interested in entering the march should be at that location at 6:30 o'- clock or soon thereafter. Any member of the local Lions club will be able to direct the participants to their res- near Memorial Face Playground Crisis Mount Joy, and the entire Donegal school district, faces some kind of a playground crisis for next summer! The crisis, understandably, 1s one of money. How to prepare for some kind of playground program next summer concerns many people in the community and Thursday night of last week the Mount Joy Rotary Club took a positive step toward finding a beginning point fo solution. = For several years, play- grounds have been operated in Marietta, Maytown, Florin and Mount Joy and a recrea- tion program promoted thru- out the Donegal school dis trict. The program has been headed by a director and staffed by workers on each of the four playgrounds. The financial arrangement has been ‘a divided responsibili- ty. Donegal school district has footed the bill for hiring the employees with the use of state-provided money and has taken the responsibility of organizing, forming and motivating the program. However, in the various communities, local organiza- tions have been active and have provided funds for pur- chase of equipment and sup- plies. Now, however, the state has withdrawn its financial support of the recreation pro- gram and the Donegal dis- trict does not feel that it can assume the full burden from locally raised taxes at a time when every dollar is needed for many other projects. Thus, the school virtually is out of the Playground pic- ture, as of now. Whether or not the state will change its position and offer money is not now known but there are appearances that such a move is possible —if not for the summer of 1969 for some later date. In the meantime, recrea- tion plans are at a low ebb. In fact, the school, which has been the framework up- on which the program has been built presently is a doubtful organization around which to plan. Thursday night of last week, at its October meeting, the School Board had a let- ter from the Mount Joy Ro- tary club asking special ques- tions about the board’s in- tent, in an effort to begin making long-range plans. There was no reply made immediately. The hope of the - Rotary club, as well as of the many other interested organizations in the area, is that as a mini- (Turn to page 7) WestWardShifts Voting Place Voters in Mount Joy's West Ward will be casting their ballots on November 5 in a new polling place. In recent years they have gone to the J. B. Hostetter & Sons annex on Main street. This year, voting machines for that ward will be located in the W. I. Beahm junior high school. School Named ‘Riverview’ Riverview elementary school! That is the name of the new school now under con- struction at the north edge of Marietta on Route 441. The name was selected on Thursday night, Oct. 17, at the regular meeting of the Donegal District school board. : But as the name of the school was picked, the con- struction problems at the site kept cropping out and two decisions concerning the project were forced by the Marietta Borough Council. One was a notice from the borough that a proposed stretch of sidewalk which would connect with the school is not in accordance with local ordinance. The specifications call for a ma- cadam walk. Borough regu- lations do not approve that type. The school board immedi- SENIORS TO MAKE TRIP TO WASHINGTON D. C.

Various high school bands, as well as older musical groups, will be in the march line-up. A number of floats are expected to be entered in the competition. Two Donegal high students will be honored as the Halloween King and Queen. They are Steven Hess, son of Mrs. Ben Hess, Mariet- ta R1, and Miss Terry Gind- school er, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jay Ginder, Donegal Springs Road, Mount Joy. They were chosen by their DHS class- mates. The Lions urge residents of all ages to enter the festi- vities and make the parade a success.

In exactly what area of the building the voting machines will be set up is not known presently, but the fire com- pany officials and election of- ficials have talked over the situation and it is definite that an appropriate space will be available on the impor- tant day of balloting. For several years voters went to the old Florin hall. At the last election, the hall had been taken down and the machines were set up in the garage of the fire company after the trucks had been moved out. Voters this fall will be di- rected to the proper area by signs on election day. @® An Editorial These days we are being told that “A vote for Wallace is a vote wasted’, With that we disagree — and violently! No vote, expressed in sincerity and in good conscience, is wasted. No vote cast by a perso: who has examined himself and expresses an opin- ion from an informed and considered background, is wasting his vote. Not in America Voting from such a point of reference is what democracy is all about and those who attempt by trick and catch statements to sell the voters any- thing else are attempting to accomplish a selfish end. Oh yes, a man may cast his vote for a loser and thereby, in a sense, waste his vote. But that’s not the idea! « (Turn to page 4)
