Ve 'y By R.A.

One-twelfth oi the year 1969 has already flown! And there is talk of spring! Our sleuth on Bruce Ave- nue tells us he has been watching the meanderings of wild ducks for the past few days. He says they don’t seem too eager to head north from here, but rather stay pretty close to the river, and even head back south, on oc- casion! That seems pretty wise, t0 us. Also, we same source that on siopes the crocuses are al- ready peeping through! And a robin was sighted not long hear from the south ago. Of course there will be those who will say that the robin has been around all winter — but we’d rather think of him as a harbinger of spring. Another sign that spring is coming was the report last week that the pussywillow buds are swelling, and may be taken indoors soon to “force” them a few weeks a- head of the ouidoor season. : ’ That by the editor's wife At our house, we have our own private [fore-runner of spring. It is a large, paper- white narcissus bulb, planted in sand and water in a yel- iow bowl on a window sill. Although it has been there only a week, bright green shoots are coming out the top of the bulb, and we can already visualize the sweet- smelling white blossoms that we hope will appear before long. Narcissus bulbs were a part of our ‘growing up” days, as our mother would start some about this time each winter, so that we could have “something green to watch” as we waited impatiently for spring. We recall that the bulbs did not always produce blos- soms, but they served a good purpose, anyway. We hadn’t grown any bulbs for many years. Our sister reminded us this year (after we had our bulb placed on the window ill) that it should have been put in wa- ter in a dark place for six weeks before it was brought (Turn to page 2) OFFICIAL RIBBON-CUTTING ceremonies for the opening of Mount Joy’s newest Main street business was held Monday noon, January 27, gs Newlin Summy opemed an interior decorating service at 8 West Main in the rooms formerly occupied by the Eshleman Brothers.

Last weekend the Order and Protection committee of the borough council, plus the Mayor, Frank B. Walter and the civil service commission, employed two young patrol- men and one already is on the job. The second will begin work in less than two weeks when he has given full no- tice to his present employeer. The action gives the bor- ough a full-time protection schedule without using part- time patrolmen, as has been the case for many months.

He has been cited for “distinguishing himself as a highly outstanding individ- ual through his contribution to social welfare projects” in South Vietnam. He and his Seebee battal- ion have been commended for helping Vietnamese civil- ians construct a tennis court and renovate a swimming pool. The son of Rev. and Mrs. C. E. Golden, the 29-year-old serviceman is home for a few days, arriving last Thursday. He will go later to Gulfport for orders which he expects will assign him to duty some- where on the Eastern coast. His current enlistment con- tinues until August of 1970 but at the present time he expects to continue with the service and to make it his career.

It’s entirely possible that the “it” which most of us call a duck may think of itself as a chicken, a tur- key or even as a humanoid. The fact that some people dress like hippies, groom themselves like hippies and act like hippies i about the only way most of us have of distinguishing hippies from other people (Turn to page 7)
