buses, ete.
Too, the approaches to
the bridge have been danger-
ous and in times of quick
water rises, the stream has
overflowed.
Many many times water
has been over the roadway
and traffic has been either
temporarily halted or cars
have been obliged to risk
running through muddy,
swirling waters.
On a brass plague, embed-
ded at the west end of the
north ballastrade, is the in-
formation that the bridge
was built in 1920 and that J.
Miller Eshleman was the

(From page 1)
pointed out at the Tuesday
night meeting that the im-
mediate goal is to get base-
ball squared away for the
youngsters of the communi-
ty.
Already nearly 150 boys
are involved and there are
more and more each year.
The need, it was pointed
out, is almost unlimited.
Mentioned as possible fu-
ture areas of activity are
basketball and softball.
One of the first needs of
the association, it was decid-
ed, is to launch a member-
ship drive. Details are be-
being worked out for action
very shortly.
Another of the immediate
needs, it was agreed, is the
formation of by-laws to gov-
ern the organization. It was
mentioned that a number of
similar organizations already
exist — Hempfield, Marietta,
Ephrata, Elizabethtown, Co-
lumbia—and the officers are
expecting to ask help from
some of them in the structur-
ing of necessary regulations.
Some of the other items
discussed included; insur-
ance, lighting, fences, con-
cession stand.
The meeting was tempor-
arily chaired by Barry Etsell.
1—Seriously consider the installation of curbs
on West Main street through the Florin ward.
2.—Continue improvements of Wood Street, re-
constructing one or
two of the sections re-
maining after the 1968 project.
3.—Buy and
street sweeper.
4—Press for completion of the
borough ordinances.
regularly use a borough-owned
codification of
5.—Enlarge the “Music in the Park” project.
6.—Start now to provide more water for our
community,
cooperating and participating
with any agency which is interested in such
a project.
7.—Improve the quality of water supplied by the
municipal water system.
8.—Press for improvement on Manheim street
between Mount Joy
and the site of the new
230 Bypass interchange, including the drain-
age problems in the area of the Little Chiques
creek bridge.
9—Take steps to insure that property within the
borough has fire plugs located within reason-
able protection ranges.
10.—Encourage public and/or private capital to
launch a tourist attraction which will put
Mount Joy “on the map.”

Irish Trouble Touches Locally
Mount Joy, in an historic
sort of way, is linked direct-
ly to a Ditter ‘piece of
world news and the heritage
of this community has a bas-
is in the troubles being
fought in blood.
in blood.
The news concerns the ac-
tivities in Northern Ireland
and Mount Joy, as many
people know and under-
stand, draws its name and a
large part of its background
from that very part of the
world.
In Ireland, during the past
few days, there has been
bloodshed and death as the
citizenry battle for ideals
and ideas they have cherish-
ed for many years, actually
centuries.
One of the beginning
points of the most recent
trouble surrounded the 280th
observance of the siege of
Londonderry by King James
II for a period of nearly five
months.
The siege was in 1689 and
it brought hardship, pesti-
lence and famine upon the
citizens It was not until two
ships—the Mountjoy and the
Dartmouth — arrived that
the people were relieved and
saved.
L.ater, when people of
that area came to the New
World., they ° remembered
their joy on the occasion of
the lifting of the siege and
named both a township and
the community Mount Joy.
These are historic facts re-
searchers found thru the state
library, principally from a
book entitled, “A History of
the Siege of Londonderry
and Defense of Enniskillen
in 1688.”
The present troubles even
involve the area of Donegal
