As we see the long hair on some of the young men who are on the streets these days we can't help but wonder what the Lancaster county Amishman thinks of the mod styles of haircuts (or lack thereof). ® © o Do you know what the “hottest” item of girls’ wear- ing apparel is these days? ® © o It’s pantyhose. One mer- chant, who certainly is not a big retailer, said that he has sold 300 dozen already this year. And, the reason he has not sold more is be- cause he cannot keep in stock the right colors. ® © oo And, girls, there’s good news. Prices are beginning to come down. The foreign makers are beginning to get into the act. ~ ® oO eo Another “hot” item — bell bottom slacks. oe oo o And — are they wild! #& % & Mount Joy Jaycees, who have had the little house on east Main street as their meeting place for a number of years are looking for new headquarters. ® © eo The building has been sold as part of the Annie Blensinger estate.

Any thinking man knows that it takes money to provide services, but more and more people are begin- ning to wonder just how much service they are wil- ling to buy through the gov- ernment. And—they want to be obliged to look long and hard before they can see the waste of their tax dollars. Mount Joy's ONLY Newspaper VOL. 68. NO. 45 WINS “BEST BALL” TOURNAMENT Frank Aument and Wm.
