The Jaycees would like for Mount Joy to known as “Flag Town, U.S.A.” and we believe it is well on the way! There were hundreds of flags flying” from private homes, public buildings and along Main street. It was an inspiring sight! We even noticed a red. white and blue flower bed at a private home, with a little flag flying in the middle of it, a patriotic, heart - warming evidence of love for our country. Memorial Day, Flag Day and The Fourth of July come in quick succéssion. The flags really get a work-out this time of the year! *® * *® Each season brings its own special joys, as we have said many times. One of June's particular blessings is the arrival of the strawberry season. We have been feasting this week on strawberry short cake. straw- berry sundaes, strawberries by the editor's wife with sugar and cream, and just plain strawberries! It seems to us that they are the largest, sweetest, ripest berries we have ever tasted. We consulted with an old- timer, to see if this is really true or whether we might be imaging things! Not so! He concurred with us that this year’s crop, thus far this season, is the best he has ever seen. The berries are huge, some as large as small eggs, and all are unbelievably tasty! * *® ® Another of June's blessings is . the spectacular display of roses all over town. The Blaze. and Dorothy Perkins ramb- lers,, the tea roses of all kinds and the multiflora bushes have been at their loveliest for about two weeks. We hate to see them pass their peak. * » * Early June mornings are also a time for enjoying the birds. They “talk” and ‘‘chat- ter” in friendly fashion a- round, the bird bath; they flutter hither and yon among the many trees in the back (Turn to page 4) serving as master in '36 Lancaster County Shrine club, Lancaster Lodge of Perfection Harrisburg Consistory and Zembo Temple.
