We must have been look- ing, lately, for we definitely have “found” some things that are very ‘‘good!” One of them was the cap- tivating Sunday evening spec- ial on television, “Heidi.” Just when we had practic- ally abandoned the TV set because most of the shows this winter are unbelievably crude and vulgar, along came “Heidi,” like a breath of fresh air! It was two hours of pure magic, woven from a sweet, wholesome story, beautiful scenery, and excellent casting and acting. It had great charm, some pathos, a little humor, a lot of wistfulness— and it touched the hearts of us all. Wouldn't it be good for everyone if there were more “Heidi’s”” in movies and on TV? * . 3% oe Another ‘‘good” of which we learned this week is the fact that the last empty store room on Mount Joy's Main THIS ISSUE -- Two Sections 24 PAGES by the editor's wife street is to be occupied! It will be a furniture, car- pet and decorating establish- ment, and will add luster to Mount Joy’s business district. Now, only the theatre audi- torium remains empty — and perhaps someone will find a use for it, too! *® * * Yet another ‘‘good” which has happened lately in Mount Joy was the coming of Rev. and Mrs. Jacob Replogle from the state of Virginia to serve_the Florin Church of the Brethren. It is fine to have them join our community, and we hope that they will learn to enjoy and love Mount Joy and this very special section of South- eastern Pennsylvania. ES] * ¥ A very minor good thing at our house this week is that we have a new bird feed- er. Perched atop a post of the rail fence in the back yard, not far from the Kkitch- en window, it has already attracted sparrows, starlings and a mocking bird. We hope for other and even more in- teresting birds before the winter is over. * * kx We took a sightseeing trip to the new York Mall shop- ping center over this past (Turn to page 2) — Devoted to the Best Interest and Welfare of Mount Joy MOUNT JOY, PA. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1968 SEVEN CENTS Robbers Hit Bank At Marietta x x A $22,000 bank robbery shook Marietta about 2 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 19 when a team of “scared by smooth operating” coverall- uniformed men held up the First National Bank. Two men operated inside the bank, a third guarded the rear entrance- and a fourth is suspected to have been the driver of a get-away car parked back of the bank. x ¥ Cashier John S. Heistand said that $22,629 in bills of mixed denominations was ta- ken when contents of the cash drawers of three tellers was scooped out and stuffed into a large black bag. Flourishing guns, the two —one a negro and the other possibly a Puerto Rican—who entered the bank forced Hie- stand to lie on the floor, jerk. ed out wires to the intercom * * in his office, held bank em- ployees and one customer at bay and then on the order “Let's go”, fled to a car, be- lieved to be a Cadillac con- vertible. Later in the afternoon cov. erallis believed to fit the des- cription given police of the suits worn by the robbers were found along the Lan- caster-Marietta pike near Silver Spring.

Firemen worked Monday night of this week making calls and will work again on Monday evening, Nov. 25.

The program, to help boys and girls in Appalachia who are without warm, service- able clothing, is being spon- sored by the Donegal high school Student Council.

Plan To Open New Store A new retail business is to be opened in Mount Joy within the next few weeks and will occupy the Feldman building on Main street, most recently used by the Eshle- men Brothers as a men's clothing store. The new business will be in furniture, carpeting, drapes, and related items, in- cluding an interior decorat- ing service. To be known as Newlin Summy Interior Decorating, the new business, tentatively, hopes to be opening sometime in January. Owners of the business will be Albert Newlin of Lancaster and John Summy of Manheim, both of whom are experienced in the field of home furnishings. Newlin was employed at Oblender’s in Lancaster for several years and more recently was manager of Plastino and Owens. Mrs. Newlin is the former Nancy Jo Detwiler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Detwiler, Lum- ber street. Summy was an interior decorator with Pomeroy’s in Harrisburg and recently was with Plastino & Owens. The men have leased the entire three floors and base- ment of the Feldman build- ing, also known as the Mt. Joy hall, and will begin necessary renovations short- ly. They have been in New York on buying trips al- ready. Consider Project 70 Fund How the area east of the new vo-tech school — includ- ing an area of 26 acres, plus the Cove—will be developed is beginning to be a topic for consideration and this week a new possibility was unde discussion. - A suggestion this week came from Harry Kraft, vo- tech director, that possibly the area, part of the original tract purchased from Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Breneman, could be developed through the use of Project 70 funds. At present, the school has no definite plans for the area east and south of Keller Rd. The only use suggested is that sometime in the future it might possibly be made into some kind of horticul- ture plot. However, Project 70 funds, which are available from the state, would be sought through and by the borough. Several months ago a ten- tative agreement was reach- ed between the borough and vo-tech to make the Cove area available to the borough on some kind of lease or pur- chase agreement. However, the administra- tive heads of vo-tech are so involved in the building, fur- nishing, curriculum and oth- er immediately important matters that there is not (Turn to page 4) Leisure Club The Mount Joy Leisure club will hold its Christmas party on Monday, Dec. 9. at Hostetters, beginning at 6:30 o'clock.

The important question is “What is the pos:- tion of the Catholic church regarding the mar- riage and what is her status with the church?” The world — Catholic and Protestant — has looked to Rome as one of the bulwarks of moral ity, home and family. Traditionally the stand has been strong and unswerving against the tides of erosion. Yet, in 1968, Rome is under siege from several quarters. Isn’t is strange . that a slip of a woman can play such a fascinating role on the ground stage of religion and controversy? Her personal hap- piness is a concern and by every right a woman who has been called upon to bear the public grief which she had forced upon her deserves serenity, if she can find it.
