However, that one percent is shared by schools, bor- oughs, etc. Schools hope to get the green light to have a full one percent exclusively for school purposes. ® © o And, this is in the face of a growing militancy on the part of the taxpayers. ® © ° For what it is worth at this point, Donegal high school tentatively has a quo- ta of 100 pupils for the new technical and vocational schools, one of which is being built north of the bor- ough. = BULLETI Mount Joy's ONLY Newspaper — Devoted to the Best Interest and Welfare of Mount Joy MOUNT JOY, PENNA.

Crocuses are blooming on a number of south slopes a- round town, and we under- stand snow fences are being gathered up by the highway department in several differ- ent places near Mount Joy. With the temperature in the 60's, as it was Tuesday afternoon, is it any wonder that the words ‘“Buffalo!” and “spring fever” are heard now and then? * * . What a snow-less winter it was! It suited some of us won- derfully well, but we hear occasional complaints from youngsters and others who like to go sledding or walk- ing in the snow, We even heard one householder com- plain because he had bought a fine new snow blower last fall, and hadn't gotten to use it enough to make it worth while! Like it or not, we just did not have much snow! And now April and Easter and spring will soon be here! * * * In our driving around ov- er the week end, we saw several travel trailers, the first we had seen for, awhile. by the editor's wife Some were in transit, mov- ing to a sales lot someplace, but others were hitched on behind a car, ‘‘going places’. We predict that the summer of 1969 will set a record for the number of families who will enjoy this particular mode of traveling. It is be coming quite popular, and private campgrounds by the hundreds are springing up all across the country to ac- comodate these snug little ‘homes on wheels’! * * * It is interesting to note, before the winter is quite past, that another kind of recreation is booming in our area. Although we haven't in- vestigated them personally, we understand that the ski slopes have been extremely popular with young people of Lancaster County. Many have gone to Ski Round Top in York County, and many others have indulged in their favorite hobby at the Mead- ow Hills slope or the Host Farm near Lancaster, or gone to the Poconos! The York and Lancaster County slopes feature artifi- cial snow when it is needed (which has been all the time, .

Codification Project Moving After four years of work, codification of Mount Joy's Borough ordinances is within 90 to 120 days of being com- pleted. Miss Elizabeth Smedley, project director for Penn's Valley Publishing company of State College, said last week that within the next few days an interview will be arranged with local offic- ials and the final phase of the program will be launch- ed, Searchers have been comb- ing through the old ordin- ances of Mount Joy and now are ready to point out to lo- cal officials - solicitors, may- or, council officials and sec- retary — the disagreements, overlappings, the obsolete items etc. which have been uncovered. = An appointment will be made shortly.

After this meeting there will be some rewriting and then official notices will be published. Council will con- sider the new codification or- dinance over a 30-day period and the work then will be ready for publication in final form.

The nature of the game itself is excitement and the fans feed on the thrill which sparks off from the speed and tenseness of the action. That emotional outbreak is catching and be- fore long the entire community has caught the fever and the area buzzes. The 1968-69 Donegal high school team hard- wood outfit caught the fancy of the fans and the particularly fancy brand of ball the club played served to add more fuel to the enthusiasm. The entire community — not only Mount Joy, Marietta and East Donegal township — but all of Lancaster county fell under the spell of the Indians. (Turn to page 2) wo (a A 02 4G Cr i
