on anand It's Mine!---It's Mine!” EDITORIALS --- One of the reasons Mount Joy is a good town in which to live is be- cause the citizens of this community believe that this ic a good place to live and are willing to keep everlastingly picking at the details to see that it stays that way. In the public press this past week, wide attention was called to weeds, bugs and signs — all represented to be detrimental to the best image of Mount Joy. Not any one complaint was big and at least one has been eliminated already this week. But, if a commu- nity is satisfied to sit back and let the little things pile up and pile up, it is not long before the entire community begins to suffer. Mount Joy is a community of home owners who have a pride in their properties. They take personal satis- faction in keeping their buildings painted up, fixed up and shaped up. The town this summer is a veri- table kaleidoscope of color, with flow- ers of all kinds making virtually every home a special spot which blooms un- der the loving care of someone. One of the things which makes Mt. Joy a special place is the fact that there are very very few homes which are of “slum” description. If by some magical wave of a wand as many as a dozen specific houses could be eliminated, the community would be practically free of sub-mar- ginal housing. Mount Joy and its residents are proud of their town and by constant- ly chipping away at the minor prob- lems of the community are ab- le to maintain a high level of wn appearance and excellence.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 1970 of the community — not only those who sincerely want to see their city progress but of- ten those who are the out- spoken advocates of free en- terprise. It is a sorry picture when the leading citizens, norri-ally a sound individual- istic-thinkinge hampion °F freedom, falls for the federal grant scheme. He is corrupt- ed quite effectively and his usefulness to the cause of free enterprise is not only lost to his ball team in the one case involved, but in all future opportunities to speak up for freedom. Can a man be an ef- fective leader for honesty if he has dipped his hand into the cash till of his company? Can a man attract followers to the cause of fidelity if he is known to have been un- faithful to his wife? And so it is with the civic leader, the spokesman on behalf of free enterprise and limited gov- ernment, who is never as ef- fective in his support of the freedom cause after he has been seduced by ‘‘gifts” from Washington. It undermines self-reliance. There is no better way to bring about failure of a third-grade arithmetic student than by doing his homework for him. There is no better way to lose the strength of healthy legs than by the con- itnual use of crutches. To learn how to conquer advers- ity, one must meet it. Local pride of community accom- plishment surely does not follow in the wake of a suc- cessful begging jaunt to Wash- ington. We lose faith in ourselves to do what must be done by ourselves. Instead, we begin to believe there is an endless treasur- in W ashir.’ta the political magician makes us see what he wants us to see. Fhere is no such thing as Federal Funds — the only moriey the Federal Govern- ment has is money which it has t-xen from — v u — out of your pocket. —Six County Topics Bloomington, Indiana By Max SmitF FARM and Home Safety Week is set for July 19 to 23; this should be a time when we review the many hazards about the home and the farm and attempt to remove them before they cause an injury. There are so many causes of accidents that it is not prac- tical to cover them all; how- ever, farm machinery is con- nected with many accidents; it's not the fault of the mach- inery in most cases but the fault of the man operating the equipment. Haste & careless- ness are often responsible. Parents and farm operators are urged to review safety measures and practices with their children and employees during Safety Week in order to prevent possible injury. It will be much more worth- while if this is done before a serious accident, rather than afterwards. ALL SWINE producers have a responsibility of promptly reporting any sick hogs to the local veterinarian. Due to the presence of this deadly dis- ease in a neighboring county, the local swine industry faces a serious threat and it will take the support of everyone to keep this infection out of Pennsylvania. If infection is present, the quicker it is di- agnosed and eliminated the (From page 3) MEDY CORNEK SEE Others are saying --- The art of deception is en- tertaining when performed by magicians. A baseball pitcher throws his fastball, curve and change-up with the same mo- tion in order to deceive the batter. The T-quarterback pretends to hand off the foot- ball to each of several run- ning backs so as to confuse and mislead the defense. The basketball player fakes a shot hoping to draw the defensive player off balance so he can dribble around him. The ma- gician cleverly entices his audience into watching the wrong action while the coup de grace occurs unobserved. Unfortunately, the use of de- ception is not limited to the field of entertainment. {for there are despicable persons who often dupe unsuspecting victims out of their life sav- ings. Many examples could be cited every day from the na- tion's newspapers. There is a far more dan- gerous game of deception go- ing on in our country, how- ever, which not only threat- ens our life savings but our freedom as well. One of the cleverest decep- tive temptations ever devel- oped is the federal grant-in- aid matching funds scheme, whereby the federal govern- ment encourages a perfectly normal and nealthy commun- ity to desire an improvement would rather not pay. For ex- ample, an expressway, a rec- reation, a new water system, an addition to the hospital, urban renewal — the list is endless. and the community is enticed to ask for federal money to pay a large part of the cost of the project. The civic leaders are urged to get their share for their commu- nity or others will consume it instead. The federal - air modus op- erandi is skillfully deceptive in covering up its true objec- tives. It corrupts the opposition. How can one develop a bet- ter bit of strategy than to trick the star pitcher of the opposing team into pitching against his teammates. This scheme does just that, for it is directed at the civic leaders . “It's the Jones twins—they’re lawyers and always carry a tandem briefcase!” TE (I ee pe A ANC IA d le PA OD 7 erp oe
