“Hey---Wait for Me!” a» atime 5 2 EDITORIALS --- Something keeps telling me that we could win if we had Lou Gehrig in the lineup! We need him and the stuff of which he was made. We need the image of working, plugging, suffering. We need even more his success and his winning ways. But, what we need most of all is to have a hero like Lou! Se, if we could just get Lou Geh- rig, the hero, on our team, maybe we could de better. In~fact, if we could get all the heroes, wherever they are, back on the team, things would be going along more smoothly. One of our problems is that not many youngsters probably know who (Gehrig is (or, should we say was?) The late Gehrig was so much a per- son and is so much a hero that it is hard to think of him as was. He ac- tually, in the minds of middle aged Americans, still IS!)

Haven't we filled the hero places on our team with a bunch of second raters? Haven't we done about every- thing we can to cut down, chew up and spit out our heroes? Wouldn't it be better if we would cling to some of our heroes—especial- ly our national ones—and try again to fill the all-star teams in the minds of our boys and girls with honest, American heroes who had things to say like, “Don’t give up the ship,” “I regret that 1 have only one life to give for my country” and “I'd rather be right than president”? Sounds “corny,” you say? But it sure beats the declarations of long- haired Joe who seems to think that if he is buddy buddy with question- able characters the world should ap- plaud. Perhaps America these days is reaping the harvest of its “cut down the heros” era of a few years ago. It is just possible that the now disturb- ed and militant section of our socie- ty is the very group which had its heros cut away from it in its impres- sionable, growing up years. Maybe we need again to put the heros back on our team, to trot out the all-stars who believe in playing hard, playing fair, working hard and achieved, even if it is not easy. We need Gehrig back on the team. P.S. —Dad, tell the boy about old Lou. You'll be a better man because you thought about that indomitable Yankee again and your son will be a better boy if you can get him thinking about winning — like Fs Lou Gehrig.) Thought of the Week -- FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS No man is an island entire of it- self. Every man is a piece of the con- tinent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were. Any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. Therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee. : —Jaohn Donne 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.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1969 x Letters to the Editor Monday, Nov 10 Editor Mount Joy Bulletin Sir: On Monday, Nov. 10th, I had the distinct pleasure of being a chaperone to accom- pany the Senior Class of Donegal high school, to the Buck’s County theatre, to see a performance of ‘“Mac- beth”. What a delightful day it proved to be! The comportment of these young people on the bus, in the restaurant where we stop- ped for a meal, and in the theatre was impeccable. They were a warm and receptive audience. This is a senior class of ladies and gentlemen! Their instructors and parents can be justifiably proud of them. I too felt a great pride in them and a renewed confidence in these young adults, as I feel they are representative of the youth of our nation. Sincerely, Elizabeth Chunko November 9, '69 Editor, Mount Joy Bulletin Dear Sir: Our class has recently dis- cussed the Vietnam war mor- atorium which was held in October and will be held again this month. After pro- longed discussion we have come to the decision that we are opposed to the morator- ium idea and favor a com- plete and immediate military victory in South Vietnam.
