"§ X “Sorry Sir, Your Credit Is No Good.” YOUR FRIENDLY BANK or) Pp PI Zh y People of the Mount Joy area are using the service that Congressman Edwin D. Eshleman is offering. In fact, more people in this section are taking the opportunity to talk with its representative than in any of the other three sections he has formed for serving the citizens of Lancaster county. ‘Several months ago Eshleman ar- ranged that his office representative R. Ronald Reedy would sit at four widely separated post ocices about once every four weeks and offer his constituants an opportunity to talk, to ask questions, to seek advise and to express their concern. Stops have been scheduled at Gap, Denver and Quarryville in addition to Mount Joy. “And, at the first two or three vis- its, Reedy has had a number of visit- ors who had various things on their minds. At Gap he has had one person. At Denver and Quarryville only two or three. But, in Mount Joy, on his first 1f You Would Write - - " Would you like to write to your state or federal representatives in Har- risburg or Washington? Here are their addresses: = FEDERAL ~ Sen.

What did they have on their minds? What were their concerns? The Marietta-Maytown sewer project, employment problems, state and fed- eral scholarship availabilities, veter- an’s pensions and always the ques- tion, “When will the war in Vietnam be over?” Reery reported. These visits around the county were set up so that almost no one had to drive more than 10 or 12 miles to talk with someone directly associ- ated with the Congressman, someone who would communicate directly with him about their problems and their concerns. The plan has great merit and we are glad that the people of Mount Joy area have taken advantage of the opportunity. How. better can the representa- tives of the people know what the people are thinking wh,at they need. what they want from their govern- ment? While the time allocation at Mt. Joy and the arrangements have been firmly set for the rest of this year, there appears to be no reason why additional time can not be arranged if the people in the Mt Joy end of the county want to talw pr with Eshleman’s representative. Mr. Reedy will be at the Mt. Joy post office between 11 and 12 o'clock Saturday morning, Oc- tober 11. Thought of the Week -- Appreciation All human beings have failings, all human beings have needs and temptations and stresses. Men and women who live together through long years get to know one another's failings; but they also come to know what is worthy of respect and admir- ation in those they live with and in themselves. If at the end one can say, “This man used to the limit the powers that God granted him; he was worthy of love and respect and of the sacrifices of many people, made in order that he might achieve what he deemed to be bis task.” then that life has been lived well and there are no regrets. —Eleanor Roosevelt The Mount Joy BULLE IN MOUNT JOY, PENNA. 17552 Published Weekly on Wednesdays Except Fourth of July Week and Christmas Week (50 Issues Per Year) 11 EAST MAIN STREET, MOUNT JOY, PENNA. 17552 In the heart of fabulous Lancaster County Richard A.

Eshleman 16th District—Pennsylvania President Nixon deserves better than to face demon- strations and other activities which demand that he undo in nine months all the mis- takes that the Johnson Ad- ministration created in Viet- nam over five years. The fact is that remarkable progress has been made in 9 months. A reversal in policy has tak- en place. We talk now of when the fighting will end rather than when we will be- gin to see an end to the fight ing. American troops have come home and more are on the way. The South Vietna- mese government finally has been made to see that it must assume the principal burden of the war. These are ach- ievements. They deserve rec- ognition as credible attempts to end the. conflict in Viet- nam. Naturally, the Nixon achievements in regard to Vietnam do not satisfy those who wish only to see the United States unilaterally and unconditionally withdraw its troops from Vietnam. Two groups talk in such terms, the Communist negotiators in Paris and certain reckless war critics here at home. The similar position of these groups serves to give our en- emy hope that the United States does not have a com- mon resolve. Therefore, the Communists are encouraged to prolong the negotiating and the fighting. No better way exists to stall meaningful peace nego- tiations than to provide the Communists with the assur- ance of American withdraw- al by a set future time. Noth- ing is less helpful to the na- tional interest, let alone the national security, than to en- courage our enemies through- out the world to believe that irresponsible political pres- sure on our -home front can prevent our military from fighting to stop aggression or from protecting our men in combat. Nothing can doom our role as world leader of free nations faster than to run out on our obligations in a wholesale fashion. . Those Americans, who are seeking to fan the smolder- ing public discontent over the war into a fire, are doing the country no service. The individual Congressmen who are trying to enlist the Con- gress into making an uncon- ditional legislative . surrender are compounding the Viet- namese tragedy by making it far more difficult for the President to negotiate a finai cettlement. Those people who are seeking to turn the war into a partisan issue should be roundly condemned for their attempt to buy votes with the painful dilemma of Vietnam. No one questions the de- sire of all Americans for peace in Vietnam. But per- haps some pointed questions should be leveled at those, who, in the name of peace, undermine the President's program for attaining a war settlement.
