BR. RR OR or ————————— WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1969 % An Editorial (From page 1) It was a momentous step. It was a tremendous step that had and still has far- reaching implications. it was an expensive step. It was a king-sized headache which was launched. And, it continued for months and months. Yet, now, 10 or 12 years have passed and the scars have healed and the entire community is reaping the many benefits. The sewers have changed Mount Joy: They have made it possible for good, solid growth in many areas of community life. One of the policies adopt- ed as the sewer program de- veloped was that the munici- pal system would not be ex- tended to serve areas outside the borough limits. At the time the policy was adopted, there were ample reasons for such a position. And, probably, it is wise that such a course was fol- lowed. But, since that time, in- fluences upon the community have changed. The reasons and the pressures now are different. For one thing, the Com- monwealth has taken one ac- tion and is pressuring for another which have greatly altered the sewer policy pos- ition. The state has taken the position that areas available to presently constructed sew- age disposal plants have a right to attach their. collect- ion lines to the plant and be served. Pressure to enforce that position already has been placed upon Mount Joy to accept sewage from Donegal Heights. area. That. the Commonwealth will succeed appears more than likely. . It is almost an inevitability. A few months ago the " Commonwealth enacted laws which now make it virtually impossible for a community like Mount Joy to annex more area to the borough. Mount Joy, and any other similar community, if it is to grow, flourish and contin- ue to be healthy with the stimulation of new economic blood, must be aware of the changes and must make its own changes to fit the times. What was good then may not be the best now. Actually, it appears that it is time for Mount Joy to re- study and to reexamine its traditional position concern- ing providing sewer facilities outside the borough. Already, the policy of ser- ving outside the borough has been bent to accomodate sit- uations. Maybe it is time to give the policy a good hard look, anticipating that Mount Joy is in the heart of a growing area and that our future well-being depends upon con- tinued growth with the sur- rounding areas. % Church (From page 1) drafted a telegram, which was sent from Lancaster on Monday. Acting on good advice, the message was sent to the wid- ow at Abilene instead of to Washington. The Kansas destination seemed especially fitting as the local pcople viewed the matter of address. For, it was at the Brethren in Christ church in Abilene that young Eisenhower attended Sunday School during his growing- up years. The Rev. Thuma, who al- so is a trustee of Messiah college, Grantham, Penna. where Eisenhower was the commencement = speaker in 1965, recalled this week that during that memorable ad- dress, Eisenhower spoke of his and his people’s affilia- tion with the Brethren in Christ church in Kansas, THE BULLETIN. MOUNT JOY, PA. The text of the message from the Mount Joy confer- ence was as follows: March 31, 1969 Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower Abilene, Kansas We, the Atlantic Regional Conference of the Brethren in Christ Church in session, March 29, 1969 hereby ex- tend to you and your family our sincere sympathy in the passing of our much loved General Eisenhower. The Seriptures declare,” “The memory of the just is blessed.” He was ever mo- tivated by lofty ideals of service and his life exempli- fied the highest moral prin- ciples. We shall ever be grateful to God for his ex- cellent leadership in nation- al and world affairs: General Eisenhower has always been greatly respected by our people. May the Lord sustain you in: this hour. Respectfully, Bishop C. B. Byers, Moderator Rev. B: E, Thuma, Secretary ® Main Street (From page 1) dome of its majestic capitol? A few days ago we met a business friend for the first time: after he had retired several months ago. ® oo o We asked, “Well, what are you doing these days,’ won- dering if he had been pur- suing hobbies, traveling, helping his wife or what. “Not a single thing which makes any difference,” he replied. “Nothing which 1s important.” # ® © “But,” he added ~ enthusi- astically, “Lancaster is the best place in the world to be retired. In Lancaster and the immediate area there are sO many interesting things to do that even when you're retired you don’t have enough time to do them all. I've been having a wonderful time going to this and seeing that and just in general enjoying the area but I haven't had time to do much of anything which is important.” ® © o So. why go to Florida, California or some other far away place to spend retire- ment? i ® oO oo The race of mankind would perish did they cease to aid each other. We cannot exist without mutual help: All therefore that need aid have a right to ask it from their fellow-men, and no one who has the power of grant- ing can refuse it without guilt. —Walter Scott LANDISVILLE - SALUNGA.
