RRR Gs TER ER that perhaps Then there was the Mount Joy man who returned home Sunday evenng with a roar- ing headache ready to watch the moon walk. His head hurt so badly he thought that he'd take a couple of as- pirins. ’ ® © o He reached into the medi- cine cabinet for the pills, got his hand on the wrong bottle and inadvertently took a couple of sleeping pills. Yes sir, he dropped off to the land of nod and for all practical purposes slept through the entire show. ® © o Reminds us of the child we knew who was going to take a train ride. It was a big deal. The anticipaton had been long and intense. But, because he usually suffered from car sickness, mother gave him a couple of pills so he could feel well and en- joy the train ride. ® 4 ® The little fellow climbed aboard the train, settled down and promptly went to sleep.

Called to consider the full employment of the two men, council gave them unani- mous election to the force. They are: Fred Nestlerode, who join- ed the force January 24, ’69, and William Booth, who became a member February 10, 69. Both were placed on six- months probation when they joined the department, sub- ject to review. Monday night both were given written recommenda- tion for employment by May- or Frank Walter and by Po- lice Chief J. Bruce Kline. And, to emphasize its ap- proval of the new officers, Council voted each a $200 increase in their basic saalry, upping the amount from 8$5,- 200 to $5,400.

He made a book out of it, and called: it “One World”. We would like to suggest Sunday after- noon Mr. Willkie’s dream be- came a reality for a few hours. In spite of distances, in spite of wars and rumors of war, in spite of tension and strife, all the peoples on our earth became literally “one world” as they watched two men step down from the “Eagle” and wolk around on the moon! They were ‘united’ in a way that Wendell Willkie did not envision. They were “one world,’ rejoicing in a fabulous accomplishment of the “earthlings”. They were sharing in a feat perform- ed not just by Americans but by mankind, using as it did the knowledge accumulated by men for countless cen- turies. Having “united” spontan- eously and emotionally, for a brief time, won’t the peo- ple of the earth continue to feel closer to each other than ever before? Perhaps a by- product of man’s trip to the THIS ISSUE -- Two Sections 20 PAGES by the editor's wife moon will be a hastening of the kind of “One World’ a- bout which Wendell Willkie wrote. x * %* One of the interesting that happened during our Fourth of July week’s vaca- tion was a brief visit to the ton Ohio at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. We first heard glowing re- marks about the museum several years ago from the Rev. Donald Feick, former pastor of St. Luke's Episco- pal church here in Mount Joy, and now living in Sym- rna, Del. y Rev. Feick spent a few weeks in Dayton, serving as a chaplain for the Air Force during a period of summer “activity duty” in the Air Force Reserves. He recommended the Mu- seum highly, and we had been eager to see it. It lived up to our expectations! It is huge, and embraces a coliection of hurdreds of air- planes of all szes, shapes, ages and designs. In the building itself, the story is told of the history of aviation in our country, with special emphasis on planes that have been used by the Air Force. The story begins even be- fore the Wright brothers, and continues right down to the space age. The exhibits are fascinat- (Turn to page 3) do as the Romans.

That’s what Jean, who is from Nice, France, is doing this week as he begins a six- weeks stay in the United States as a guest of the Mit. Joy Lions Club. Fifteen years old, son of a member of a Lions club, Jean arrived Sunday night in Lancaster and was met by Jay Barnhart. He'll di- vide his time with five other Lions families — Lewis Bix- ler, Gerald Sheetz, Charles Hershey, Paul Gingrich and Kenneth Grove. But. as a starter to coni- munications, one of Jean's best words is OK. And, on the part of his host, Jay Barnhart this week commu- nicates best by saying ‘tres bien,” which is a good equivalent. When it’s necessary, an English-French dictionary is a good help and the friend ship, as early as Monday, was flourishing. At the Bulletin office, there were problems as an inter- view began but mutual un- derstanding is not, apparent- ly, built entirely on words. It is not necessary to undei- stand all the words. News- print is paper and ink is ink and any 15-year-year-oid youngster can watch a Linc- type machine operate and see more than he has words to describe. Jean has two brothers, both younger, we were able to France about 10 or 15 miles from the tiny but famous country of Monaco on the French Riviera. He’s never seen the form- er president of France—De- Gaulle—and it is hard to translate his schooling into terms of American grade levels. ‘However, his letter of introduction would indi- cate that he is what might well be a freshman in high school. And, of course, he is age 15, which all adds to a common total. Jean is quick, alert and catches onto the trend of the conversation. A pencil and a piece of paper help with the conversation — a drawing. a map, a name (frequently it is the pronunciation, not the spelling, whch is the prob- lem) or a number. Numbers? But, his figure 1’s look more like inverted V’s. Sevens have an extra line across the stem of the number.

That Donegal schools — “where they have been, where they are and where they hope to go’’—is the scope of a her- culean work produced and issued this summer, entitled “Long Range Development Plan.” Done by the school staff as a result of a mandate by the Commonwealth, the 267-page study is a compila- tion of statistical and narra- tive material pertaining to the Donegal School District area, its people, its land, its history and extending through a detailed descrip- tion of school facilities, cur- riculums and finances. Although the work is en- titled, “Long Range Devel- opment Plan,” the pound, 634 ounce job emphasizes the fact that the future, ev- en when studied by those closest to the problem, by the best informed about the problem and by the most concerned with the problem have no access to a crystal ball in seeing or actually looking very far into the “long range’ picture. Out of the entire mass of material, emerge only a few glimpses into the future. For instance, it now ap- pears that in the early 1970's —1971 or ’'72—it probably will be necessary to build a “middle school”, probably on the site of the now under construction Riverview school. This fact, however, is not new. It is something which has been discussed many many months prior to the study’s beginning. A middle school, roughly a junior ‘high school, would handle growth which would tax the Beahm Junior high school. : Depending upon growth patterns of population, buil- ‘dent, possibly — at the three ele- mentary schools Seiler, Grandview and Maytown. One of the shadowy fac- tors in making a long-range plan in any detail is the unknown economic future of the area. Industrial and residential development, conceivably, could make tre- mendous changes, the study points out. But, on the basis of nor mal, past growth, the study forsees a gain of about 3822 pupils within the next ten Special Meeting A special meeting of the executive committee of the Mount Joy Community Coun- cil will eb held on Wednes- day, July 30, at 7:30 p.m. at the home of the vice-presi- Walter Sheffler, 178 Manheim street. would set the school popula- tion at about 3,420.

AN EDITORIAL ~ These Days in Man’s greatest week Which We Live! in history! These are the days we are living as mankind achieves one of its longest sought goals—its old- est dream—its least expected achievement. Since man’s first quest for knowledge, since he looked upward eons explore his surroundings, he has pondered ago, since he began to the moon and considered it to be one of the most un- attainable. Man has carved his language, his thinking, his pattern of expressions and his figures of speech out of his wonderment about the moon and its unattainability.~ (Turn to page 2) i
