1 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1970 THE BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, PA. e Rimples - 4 Components of Planning Over In previous articles con- cerning community planning, a review of “Why Does a Community Need to Plan, and “Aspects of a Communi- ty Study” were undertaken. Now the picture will shift to thle components of the Community Plan. In the Donegal Area Plan, three major divisions were in- dicated with a separate plan developed for each. These di- visons of the Comprehensive are: 1. Future Land Use Plan, 2. Transportation Plan and 3. Community Facilities Plan. A brief indication of the purpose and function for each of the Plans is as follows: 1. Future Land Use Plan — This plan serves to designate areas within thie Donegal Area that are best suited for development into residential commercial, industrial, agri- cultural and public uses of land as determined from an- alysis of ‘past growth. The purpose of the Plan is to show thie general distribution and general location and extent of future land use develop- ment in a manner consistent with sound planning princi- ples, existing land uses, land suitability and local popula- tion and economic factors. 2. Transportation Plan A vital adjunct of communi- ty development is an ‘2fficient transportation system for mo- ving people and goods from one type and location of acti- vity to another. In order to achieve this, a community- wide plan for streets, high- ways and other transportation modes, based upon a function- al relationship to land uses, must be developed. This is im- perative since the location and character of the transpor- tation system often deter- mines the location and struc- ture of urban development. 3. Community Facilities Planning for community fa- cilities involves the recom- mendations for and the estab- lishment of public responsi- bilities in development. The leviel of facilities offered within the community creates an amenity value which has its greatest impact in attract- ing new residents and busi- ness developments, as well as retaining existing gleople and economic activities. The facili- ties to be provided by the communty nclude schools and public buildings (such as a municipal building, fire sta- tions, police facilities, library and administrative services), sewer and water systems and parks and recreation facili- ties. vw New Tax (From page 1) receipt which the employee is given for the payment of SWEETIE PIE “It's his blood pressure! | got the think it's gone up since | kitten1” ITS TIME You GET SOME AMBITION AND A GOAL! LOTS OF AMBITION AND A DIFFICLLT GOAL! TIM PLANNING ON BECOMING THE WORLD'S VERY BEST LOAFER! The Back Fence By Max Smith I FEAR that too many property owners are using weed control chemicals with- out sufficient care and infor- mation. Any of the materials containing 2,4-D are danger- ous to many crops and plants and can do considerable dam- age in the area in careless hands. This material may drift to other plants at the time of the spraying, or the vapors from the chemical may move to susceptible crops within the few days following application. “The use of weed control bot- tles or can fastened to the end of a high pressure water hose is quite dangerous. In the first place thle rate of ap- plication may not be very -ac- curate and secondly, there will be too much pressure and the fine particles *(mist) will blow over the entire neighborhood. Also, 2.4-D will stick to sprayers and contain- ers for years unless it is re- moved by other chemicals such as ammonia. All users of weed killers are urged to rec- ognize the dangers of thie ma- terial and follow all direc- tions carefully. THE ALFALFA crop is being cut and we hope that weath- er conditions will favor the proper drying and curing of the crop for either hay or sil- age. Growers are reminded of the need to spray the stubble after the removal of the first crop for the control of alfalfa weevil; we have received many reports of moderately heavy infestation on the first his tax and the other is an employer’s recapitulation sheet upon which he sum- marizes the taxes he is pay- ing over to the treasurer. Each employer is assigned an account number which is used in accounting for col- lections and for the giving of credit. The treasurer said this week that it is important that this employer’s number be used by those filing returns. Supplemental reports arc to be made to the’ “treasurer by employers as of August 15 and December 15. Payments must be made by September 15 and December 31. The latter two reports apply to collection of taxes from peo- ple who may be added to pay- rolls after the May 15 date. Persons under the age of 16 are exonerated from pay- ment. Young Musicians In 200 Club In the last marking period of the school year there were three students who, by reason of the number of points they earned, became members of the very exclusive 200 Club growth with some growers spraying. If the first crop is removed without a spray, then thle stubble should be sprayed in order to keep the weevil from feeding on the new sprouts. Also, it is im- portant to top-dress the alfal- fa with a phosphorus-potash fertilizer (0-20-20 or 0-15-30) immediately after taking the first crop, if fertilizer has not. been applied in 1970. Good al- falfa management is very im- portant. TOBACCO planting will soon be getting underway through- out the county. Growers have been inquiring about materi- als to be used for soil insect control in the tobacco field. (No longer permitted to use chlordane, dieldrin, or hep- tachlor). For the control of cut worms or wireworms, Dia- zinon is suggested by our Plann State entomologists. At the rate of 3 quarts per acre of the AG500 emulsion spray- ed over the field and worked into the top 2 inches 5 to 10 days before planting, the cut- worms should be controlled. For wireworms growers may want to use 2 ounces of the 50% wettable Diazinon pow- der in 50 gallons of trans plant water and use at least 1% pint per plant. Weed con- trol in tobacco fields may be obtained by spraying the field just befor'z or following transplanting with materials such as diphenamid (Enide 50W), Tillam 6E, or Balan 1- 15E. At the Penn State Re- search. Farm in 1969 the dip- henamid gave excellent weed control at thle rate of 4 lbs. per acre worked into the soil just prior to transplant- ing. THE SEVERE wind storms of last week remind me of the danger to livestock producers who have livestock on pas- ture including wild cherry trees. As many farmers have learned the hard way, wilting or dried wild cherry leaves are poisonous to all livestock; however fresh cherry leaves are not toxic. Therefore, if it is known that wild cherry trees are in the area owners should check for fallen limbs or trees immediately after each wind storm. Animals will crave these leaves and clean them up even though the regular pasture is lush and abundant. The elimina- tion of the wild cherry trees from the pasture area is sug- gested in the long-term pas- ture management program. PAGE FIVF Elementary Music of the Donegal Schools Instrumental program. The highest number of points, 207, were scored by Melody Mumma of Grand- view, who twice before has been a member of the 100 Club and once before a mem- ber of the 200 Club. Jamie Robinson, also of Grandview, scored 200 points and became a member of the 200 Club. Debbie Hay of Maytown also scored 200 points and be- came a member of the 200 Club for the fourth consecu- tive marking period. This rec- ord has not been equalled. Twenty three other elemen- tary students were honored by becoming members of the 100 Club: Larry Gillespie 157, time member, Maytown. Phil Wolgemuth 152, four time member, Grandview.

DHS Club Gives Radio to Staley Just to make sure that “he was there”, the Donegal high school Varsity Club last week presented D.H.S. baseball coach Don Staley with a re- chargeable portable radio! A patient at General hospit- al, Staley was denied the sat- isfaction of taking one of the best teams of his career thru the final games of the sched- ule. The finale, on Friday night, the 29th, however, he was able to listen in person if not present in person on the gift from kids of D.H.S. who “really care.” —_— SAVE MONEY BY READING THE ADS
