WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1969 Recover Two Stolen Guns Two guns stolen recently from the Mount Joy Sports Farm have been recovered and two Mount Joy youths have been charged with bur- glary and larceny, Police Chief J. Bruce Kline said this week. Both guns were property of the federal government, having been made available to the Sportsmen Association as part of the rifle program promoted by the organiza- tion. The two young men were charged in Lancaster court by state police, who were in- volved in the investigation with local officers and the FB. 1 After being taken into cus- tody, the defendants gave in- formation about the location of the guns and officers were able to recover both weapons. One was found in a wooded area near Master- sonville. But, it had had the wooden stock burned away. The second gun was recov- ered by a diver in Conewa- go creek near the crossing of State Road 743. It was located in water about 12 ft. deep, police said, in a spot which had been swept heav- ily by high water during the N recent period of rain. How- ever, it was in almost the exact location the defend- ants had said it could be found. All wooden parts on one gun had been removed and burned and the guns tossed into the woods where it be- came badly rusted before it was retrieved. The weapon taken from the creek, how- ever, was immediately clean- ed and is in good condition. Both guns are now in the hands of Earl Koser, presi- dent of the Sportsman’s As- sociation DEANS LIST Two Mount Joy and two Marietta students were in- cluded with the more than 3,600 undergraduates at Penn State university who qualified for the Dean’s List during the spring term.

However, a Reading attorney became in- volved with the case and now the matter is in Lancas-- ter court, taken there on an appeal. Appeal was made on the grounds that the speed signs which applied to the area in which the man was arrest- ed are not legal. Legal signs, following a rather recent edict of the state must be at least 30” x 36” in measurements for use on two and three lane highways. Mount Joy signs were er- ected when the law states that they be 24” x 30”. Police Chief J. Bruce Kline said this week that most all of Mount Joy's speed signs are of the small- er size. At its meeting Monday night, Mount Joy borough council voted to get new signs “immediately and put em up.” Council was told that 122 signs are involved and that the complete / cost, by the time they are erected, will be about $1,500. Notice that new signs were necessary, it was finally de- termined, was given in '68. fon IN UNIFORM \) | i “WN oa COMPLETES TRAINING Marine Pvt. First Class Kenneth R.
