When construction will be 4 au finished and the building ready for use is the key to many sticky problem of scheduling. The contractor at this point expects work to be on the previously deter- mined schedule which would allow use of the building in the fall of 1969. Another building progress report indicated that the Mount Joy vo-tech building, located north of the borough, also is progressing on sched- ule and that it appears thal it will be the first of the three in the county under construction to be under roof. The board named Maxwell Sargen of Marietta to become school truant officer. He re places the late Leonard Till- man. His salary was set at $700 annually. Kindergarten rules were revised.

In Mount Joy, there pres- ently are two justice of the peace — James Hockenberry and Ray Knorr. Both have been elected to serve thru 1673. The law provides that they siiall be permitied to serve to the end of their elected terms. But as iheir terms ex- pire, the offices will be ab- olished and they will no jonger serve unless they should be elected to the new- ly-created office. The local area has been assigned to be ‘District 4”. In that area, besides Hock- enberry and Knorr, there are three other justices. Arthur Wolgemuth, Done- gal Springs Road, is J.P. for Fast Donegal Township and i: Marietta George Sell and Richard Diebler serve that office. By the time all five men have completed the terms for which they were elected, the new justice will be in office and he will serve the entire district. It is entirely possible that Mount Joy will not have a resident justice. Or, Mariet- ta may not have one, In any event, two of the three muni- cipalities involved will not have a resident justice. That will mean that should a Marietta man be elected to the new office, in minor jaw cases (a traffic violation, for instance) (he defendant will be taken to Marietta. Or perhaps a Marietta de- fendant will be brought to Mount Joy. On Mount Joy's Main street, James Hockenberry is now serving his fifth six- year term, which when his time expires Dec. 31, 1973, he will have been justice for 30 years. Knorr is :rving his sec ond six-year Lerm. Estimates, based on popu- lation count, indicate that the District 4 justice will be on a salary of about $7,000. The exact figure will depend upon the count in the 1960 federal census. In addition the justice will have a small additional revenue from special sources. The same general reorgan- ization of the minor ~ judici- ary is taking place through- out the couniy and state and already the machinery is be- ing set up to provide the new justices as the present J. P's reach the end of their terms. WINS FIRST WRESTLING MATCH OF SEASON Paul Stehman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Stehman, 233 S.
