dae SAR SRNR By R.A.R. If you are interested in an astonishing piece of develop- ment, drive to the intersec- tion of state Roads 141 and 441 just north of Marietta. There, within Jess than 10 years, a highly attractive area has taken shape. And if still is growing. dA Si ® © ® Donegal Mutual Insurance building was first, on the southeast corner. With its classic design and wide, sweeping lawns, it has set a pattern of sorts which has ex- tended east to the Congrega- tional Mennonite church, which rather closely follows the archetictual design of the first building. Then comes the new River- | view elementary school. Al- though it deviates from the styles of the other two, the design was taken into consid- eration and selection of the brick was similar. The three fine structures form a strik- ing expanse of development. Now — across the highway and west of the intersection, another somewhat similar construction pattern is tak- ing shape. ® o o The new Blue Note Motel is situated well back from Road 441 against a hillock and it too picks up the brick- work which suggests that it ‘belongs with the other three. Although not of the same ar- chitectural family, the motel definitely is complimentary and as construction prdgress- es and the grounds take shape it will be a definite part of the development area. ® © © Yet another sizable struc- ture also is arising in the im- mediate wicinity. The Zion Evangelical Lutheran church is building a new home only a few hundred feet farther west. While the design is along medern lines, it too _is brick and is not a harsh de- parture from the influence of the area. ® © eo The area is an interesting example of what can and does happen when new de- velopments invade a neigh- borhood. ® © @ What conscious effort was made to keep the area har- monious we can not say. Yet, we do know that the River- view school architect did give consideration to the pos- sibilities. ® © ° Each building has its own individuality, projecting its own image and representing the wants and needs of its owners and builders. Yet a certain aura of ‘“‘community” and “family” overhangs the area. ®e oo o The insurance building and the church, which have been in use for several years, are beautifully kept and have a “well established” and ‘‘well- loved” look. The new school only now is beginning to blossom from the rubble of construction but there is ev- ery reason to expect that it too will project the feeling of pride. ee Oo © The motel and the church still are very much in the depths of construction mess, but, again, there is expecta- tion that they too will be well kept and present the same atmosphere of neigh- borhood and community pride. ”. o 57% ec. = pg THE or MoysY SRE (2) “ - ho 5 v Mount Joy's ONLY Newspaper — Devoted to the Best Interest and Welfare of Mount Joy * " VOL. 7.

But, it’s not really a secret, for wherever she goes — and she is on the go a great deal these days — she is a gilt edged asset for the lieutenant governor of the Common- wealth who aspires to move up in politics. Crisp, immaculdtely groom- ed and fortified with a warm and charming smile, Mrs. Broderick made a brief visit to Mount Joy on Thursday morning of last week, stop- ping between an engagement in Lancaster and a luncheon date in Elizabethtown. As a one-time newspaper- woman who worked in the advertising department, she found the Mount Joy Bullet- in a natural magnet and the smells of ink and paper and the ~click and hum of print- ing activity recalled to her days before she was even the wife of one of Pennsylvania's prominent political figures. Blonde, dressed in summer vellow, equipped with a warm handshawe and in- tense hazel eyes which spark led with an innate interest in people, she made a brief walking tour, meeting people Sky Diver Falls to Death Funeral services for Sam- uel A. Williams, Jr., 28-year- old sky diver, were held on Sunday * afternoon, Aug. .16, in Marietta from the Smed- ley funeral home. Burial was made in the Mt, Joy cemetery. Williams, a 1960 graduate of Donegal high school and a member of the wellknown “flying Dutchman” Skydiving club, died Thursday evening, August 13, when his para- chute failed to open while he was making a dive at the Eli- zabethtown- Marietta airport, formerly known as the Done- gal airport, Using a parachute of an unusual design which he had owned for only about two weeks, he fell to his death from about 3,250 feet alti- tude. Although he was a vet- eran diver of more than 500 jumps, he had used the new paraplane only 15 or 20 times. With three other divers, Williams went aloft in a small plane piloted by David L. Garber of Mount Joy at about 6:30 p.m. The other jumpers landed safely but the lines of Wil- liams equipment apparently ‘become entangled in such a way that neither it nor his reserve, emergency chute de- ployed. He landed about a half mile west of the airport in a cornfield on the farm of Jac- ob S. Kreider, Williams is survived by his parents, Samuel A. and Roymayne Williams Sr., with whom he lived at 566 Ter- race Avenue, Mount Joy; a brother, Ralph, New York City, and a paternal grand- mother, Mrs. Ethel Newcom- er, Lewisburg. He attended Millersville State College and. prior to his death, had enrolled at F&M. He was born in Lewisburg. Williams served in the U. S. Army for three years, and was a missle instructor at Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Alabama. He was active in scouting and was a neighborhood com- missioner of the Lancaster Boy Scout Council. He also was an Eagle Scout and as- sistant scoutmaster of May- town Troop 53. He was a member and a Sunday school teacher at the United Methodist church in Marietta. He was an employe of J.C. Snavely & Sons, Inc., Landis- ville, Dr. Schlosser Named Chairman Dr. David E. Schlosser, 304 East Main street, has been el- ected chairman of the advis- ory board of the Mount Joy office of the Lancaster Coun- ty Farmers National Bank. He was elected by the board Thursday morning, August 13, to succeed John M. Booth, who by virtue of his August 14th birthday, re- tired from the post he had held since October 9, 1969. Dr. Schlosser, a practicing physician in Mount Joy since Nov. 23, 1946. was appointed to the board in July, 1964. Booth ~ senior member of the board, joined the bank- ing firm January 11, 1944, when it was the First Nation- al Bank. Retirement was mandatory, but because of his long asso- ciation with the bank and his experience, he was invit- ed to remain an honorary member of the board and to attend board meetings. Booth joins Daniel M. Wol- gemuth as an honorary mem- ber of the committee. Other members of the Mt. Joy advisory committee are: James M. Garber, Arthur H. Hostetter, John E. Melhorn, Richard A. Rainbolt, John N. Weidman and Franklin B. Zink, Scenery may be interesting but it’s the people that count. about the power of women at the polls, “For this year’s primary election, there were 222,000 more women than men registered to vote in The strength of women, Mrs. Broderick observed, “is the single most decisive fact- or at the polls in Pennsyl- vania today.” Second Tax Report Due Second of three tax returns are now due, Robert Kline, Occupational Privilege Tax collector and Mount Joy treasurer, remind- ed the public this week. The tax, levied by the bor- ough earlier this year, calls for three reports zach twelve months. The first was due on May 15. The second is' due as of August 15. Taxpayers, however, have until Sept. 15th deadline to make their reports to the col- lector. Kline said last week that although an employer has no new employees or has no col- lections to transmit, a report is necessary. The report is to be made on the tax form designated as OPT 3 and OPT 4. Employers who have no new employees or who have no tax money to report indi- cate on line 1 of the form— None. The third and final report is due as of Dec. 15 and is de- linquent as of Dec. 31. The borough treasurer said that the first payments made earlier this year netted the borough a little more than $20,000. The next two re- borough ports, however, are not ex- pected to be more than $1,- 000. Originally the borough had guessed that perhaps the oec- cupation privilege tax would add maybe $15,000.
