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.

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

A few days ago we met a
business friend for the first
time: after he had retired
several months ago.

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.”

So. why go to Florida,
California or some other far
away place to spend retire-
ment? i

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
