One of our Florin sleuths
recently reported to us that
there is a new street, appar.
ently, in that area.

A trucker who had a deliv-
ery to make stopped in a
business establishment and
asked, “Where do I find
Market avenue?”

It's right there,” thé infor-
mer replied, pointing a pud-
gy finger, “you just passed
it.” oT

“Oh, I thought that said
Marke street.”

But, later investgation dis-
closed that sure enough, at
Main and Market avenue the
official street sign does say
“Marke” Ave. And—not only
on one side but on both sides
of the same sign post.

January has come, and is

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

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.

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

Borough Hires Two New
Mount Joy now has a full
four-man police force, inclu-
ding three patrolmen and a
chief.
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.
Beginning his work on
Monday of this week, taking
his training from Chief
Bruce Kline is Fred Nestle-
rode, age 24.
Married and present living
in the Lancaster area, he is

® An Editorial
If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, looks
like a duck and acts like a duck, then you have a per-
foot right to suppose that it is a duck!
This is a rustic, down-in-the-hills way of explain-
ing that about the only way people have of placing
names on things is by judging from external appear-
ances and actions.
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
