We're growing a little weary! Yes, a little tired and wea- ry of the negative approach to so many of our problems expressed by the rampaging, self-appointed sounders of al- arm which have sprung up a- mong the 17 to 25 year-old segment of the population. For instance, the pollution problem is not something new which has been dreamed up by this new breed of Am- ericans. Man has been work- ing on that problem for years and years. Truth of the mat- ter is that pollution has only become so very much worse in the past few years that all mankind has become frighten- ed., The youngsters have simply latched onto the situation and are using it as an excuse for their antics. Mount Joy installed sewer lines and a sewage plant ten years or more ago. The young So What's New? ALS militants did not cause it to be done or even call atten- tion to its need. Marietta is doing the same thing. It was not because of agitation or dramatization by the kids. Bachman Chocolate Mfg. Company several years ago installed a pollution eradicat- or on its huge chimney. It cost a lot of money but no song-singing, guitar picking gang of kids was responsib- le, in any way shape or form. The State of Pennsylvania has for many years been working long and hard to im- prove the methods used for disposal of trash and refuse. Land fills are almost univer- sal, these days. But not be- cause the young segment of our society was sounding off. It’s completely true that a few days ago youngsters turn- ed out in numbers and did a good job of cleaning up some streams, roadsides, etc. They If You Would Write - - Would you like to write to your state or federal representatives in Har- risburg or Washington?

The most damaging points in Judge Boyle's reasoning we:i>: Ken- nedy told no one when the couple left that he was retir- ing to his motel. Miss Ko- pechne told none of the girls she was going to hers and did not ask Lr roommate for the only key to their room. In addition, Miss Kopeche left her pocketbook at the party cottage. In addition, it was known by all that the ferry ceased operation at midnight and when Kennedy took his Oldsmobil> that left only a small Valiant for the ten people remaining at the party cottage. On the basis of th e se points, and others, Judge Boyle concluded that Kennedy and Kopechr# did not intend to return to Edgar- town when they left the cot- tage, that Kennedy did not in- tend to drive to the ferry, and that his now-famous wrong turn was not a wrong turn but intentional. Further, the Judge pointed out that Kennedy had driven over the bridge road three times .earlier .that day, and The Mount Joy BULLE MOUNT JOY, PENNA. 1 N 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.
