B Letter to the Editor Library Circulation Makes Good Gains

Editor, Mt. Joy Bulletin
The recent Donkey base-

Lion's Club was held for the
benefit of the Blind Fund. At

could be used to pledge one’s

PEOPLE TIRING OF
TAXATION
To most Pennsylvanians,
Governor Raymond P. Sha-
fer's proposal for a state in.
come tax feels like a low
blow, to say the least.
Acknowledging the fact
that people are asking—even
demanding — more services,
and that the only way to
pay for them is through tax-
ation, it becomes more and
more apparent that lawmak-
ers, with the Governor lead-
ing the way, are paying more
attention to tax gathering
methods than to ways to ec-
onomize.
They seem afraid to cut
the budget in any of its seg-
ments for fear of losing

This diversity, he said, is
