shop was virtually destroyed

crete block building, located
on Donegal Springs Road.
The blaze broke out follow-
ing an explosion, believed to
have been an acetylene tank.

nearby home and heard the
explosion and felt the shock.
He then saw smoke rolling
from the shop and immedi-
ate sounded an alarm, called

the Florin firemen, he had an
electronic alarm device for

. led, was destroyed as was
much of the welding shop

An unused chicken house
nearby was saved.

Early spring is a good time
for a barn safety check, re-
mind Extension agricultural
engineers at Penn State nniv-

lighting dangerous corners,
and keeping stairways unclut-
tered reduces the chances of

Friends Help
A brother fireman had
friends when he needed them
Saturday!
On Friday, following fire
at his place of business, John
Henry Lutz picked out what
small tools he could from the
debris of his welding shop on
Donegal Springs Road.
Saturday some 50 firemen
and friends descended upon
his property and with load-
ers, trucks, muscle and good
humor, cleared away the
charred and ruined remains,
including badly damaged ce-
ment block walls. The rub-
bish was hauled away and
this week Lutz was pondering
exactly how to approach his
problem.
He said Tuesday that he
‘expects’ that he will rebuild.
Lutz, as chief of the Florin
fire company, has friends
throughout the county.
Saturday’s helpers came to
Mount Joy as representatives
of the Silver Spring, Florin,
Mount Joy, Marietta and the
Rheems fire companies, from
the Forest Fire Crew and
from a number of friends.

Prayer Of The Week - - -
The prayer this week is by Isaac Ashe:
“O Lord our God, as Thou hast in mercy preserved
us to the beginning of another day, enable us by Thy
grace to live to Thee, and to set our affections on things
above, not on things upon earth. Pour into our minds
the light of Thy Truth and cause us to rejoice in Thy
Word. Shed abroad Thy love in our hearts, and bestow
upon us abundantly the peace and comfort of Thy
Holy Spirit.
Graciously increase in us that faith which
works by love, which purifies the heart, and overcomes
the world, that we may have the victory over every
sin, and according to Thy promise, do Thou bruise Sa-
tan under our feet shortly, and deliver us from all his
soul destroying power. Make us watchful against all
the evil of our hearts, for the sake of Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.”

One tool that should be in
every home is a plumber’s
plunger — a bell-shaped rub-
ber cup mounted on a wood-
en handle. In the case of a
stopped-np sink drain, place
the open plunger over the
drain opening, with enough
water to cover the edge of
the plunger so it makes a
seal all around. Work the
plunger up and down. The
alternate compression and
suction of the plunger will
generally dislodge any ob-
struction in the drain.

out of his work should be

Councilman Al Kleiner,
chairman of the finance com-
mittee, pointed out that the
council had tentatively decid-
ed to face up the fact that ex-
penses may be heavy this
year but that repairs - would
be more acceptable this year

approach could be found next
year. New trucks, Groff said,
might cost $18,000.
An employee of the bor-
ough who works the garbage
truck complained that people
of the borough are not adher-
ing to the ordinance govern-
ing how garbage and trash
are to be made available for
collection.
Council reread its ordin-
ance. Garbage is to be wrap-
ped and placed in 20-gallon
appropriate containers. Each
household is allowed. without
extra charge, two such con-
tainers and an additional
three with trash.
Council said that if gar-
bage and trash are not in the
proper containers that the
borough crew is to let the ma-
terial sit and is not to collect
it.
Council accepted the resig-
nation of Warren Hayman
from the board of health.
Borough Treasurer Robert
Kline reported that the new
occupation tax already has
paid into the borough $1,275
Councilman Simeon Horton
said that work is scheduled
to begin shortly on the new
Ziegler street storm drain and
on resurfacing of Richland &
School Lane.
He said that 150 tons of de-
bris was cleaned from the

sweeping program last
month.
Council ordered that bids
be taken for the painting of
Friendship Fire Hall and for
repair or replacement of the
heating system in the bor-
ough building.

therman agreed to accept

tion on the property of Lan-
caster Leaf Tobacco ware-
