political arena these past few
days and what will happen
between now and Nov. 5 has
very little bearing on the

There were Brownies in yel-
low pumpkin suits on a big
fioat; there were ‘‘Jeanies’ in

the campaign pretty much is
over except for the actual

What effect the third-par-

local voting is anyone's
guess, even in Mount Joy.
Work is to begin within 10
