Unless there are some “last minute” changes made in plans now being formulat- ed, one of the new ministers coming to Mount Joy within the next few weeks will be a hometown man who has been serving his denomina- tion in a not-too-far away church since graduation from seminary. ®e o& ° Interestingly, he will not be serving either the same denomination or the same church (congregation) in which he grew up as a boy and young man in Mount Joy. ® © o Unless you have reason to be north of the borough, you probably have not been aware that the new Route 230 1s making some big changes these days. ® © o The “paving trains” are at work in two different loca- tions, moving right along as weather permits. ® © o The fact that there is go- ing to be a bypass around Mount Joy has gradually been creeping up on local people. For many years there was talk talk talk. Now, by the end of this year, hopefully, that long awaited need will be filled. = BULLETIN Mount Joy's ONLY Newspaper — Devoted to the Best Interest and Welfare of Mount Joy VOL. 68. NO, 50.

Yet, there was enough noise for Steve Leatherman to be nominated by the Re- publicans as their party's choice as candidate in the fall election for tax collect- or. Leatherman, who mans the borough’s emergency radio system in the commu- nication’s trailer in Apple alley, won handily in a 4- way race: He polled 270 votes. In- cumbent Treasurer Helen Mateer had 169; Harry Far- mer Jr., 64, and Ross Neiss, 19. By wards this is how the vote went: East West Florin Farmer 21 21 22 Mateer 49 56 64 Neiss 13 4 : Leatherman 126 98 46 Balloting Tuesday was in two new buildings in Mount Joy.

At its May meeting, held Thursday, the 15th, the Board of Education tempor- arily passed its new $2,438, 338 budget, which will come up for final adoption June 19th. Although the budget is up $334,367 from the 1968-69 financial guidelines, the real estate tax will remain at 65 mills. Two factors make is pos- sible for the board to adopt a third of a million dollar increase without upping the rate. One, and the important one, is that Donegal District - like all others, is relying upon passage of state legis- lation which will provide the money. If the Common- wealth should fail to pro- vide, Donegal, again like most of the rest, will find itself in deep financial troub- le. . The hoped-for revenue would come from a proposai to make it possible for the school districts to levy a full one percent tax upon wages.. Presently, only one percent tax is levied upon wages but that amount is split with boroughs. The second way the board the bigger budget is through a carry-over of funds which is now anticipated.

FIVE DAY Weather Forecast From The Harrisburg Weather Bureau Thursday through Monday May 21 - 25 Temperatures for the 3J- day period from Thursday through Monday are expec- ted to average below nor- mal, Daytime highs will be in the upper 60's night time lows in upper 40's It will be cool through- out the period. Precipita- tion may total 1% occur- ing as rain thruout the weekend. Showers on Mon- ount, however. would be on- ly about $25,000.

The only cost area which makes practically no in- crease is. for transportation. The only one to, drop is Community services, which has been reduced $1,950. That drop is attributed to the school’s reduced partici- pation in playground activi- ties. Operation and mainten- ance of the plant will in- crease $52,091, partly be- cause of costs connected with opening of the new Riverview school. Adminis- tration will increase $14,620. pupil personnel services wiil go up $39,242 and debut ser- vices, $25,800. Appearing before the board was a delegation of five people representing the Seiler School and Home As- sociation, headed by its president, Richard Hoover. The group presented a petition, reported to be signed by 243 people of the community, who seek ‘re- turn of prayer to our class- rooms.” Although the board took no action, it accepted the petition and took the mat- ter under advisement, It was explained that although in- dividual members of the board may agree completely in principal -with the feel- ings of the petitioners there are legal restrictions. These restrictions were explained. In other action, the board hired Mrs. James R. Evans, second grade teacher for Maytown Elementary Schooi; James A. Metzler, junior high school English; Mrs. Di anne Kronenberg, vocal mu- sic for Marietta and May- town Elementary Schools.
