Bank Merger Proposal Would Sell Florin Branch The boards of directors of caster and it would operate the Lancaster County Farm- ers National Bank, Lancaster, the Reading Trust Company,, Reading, and the National Bank and Trust Company of Central Pennsylvania, York, have approved a basis for a proposed settlement of the anti-trust suit filed last De- cember by the U. S. Justice Department to prevent con- solidation of the three banks. Spokesmen for the three banks stated that “we have an agreement in principle with the government but cer- tain details remain to be worked out by the lawyers on final language.” The proposed terms would require sale, after the con- solidation of the three banks, all other present offices of the three banks in Dauphin, York, Lancaster and Berks Counties. Terms of the pro- posed settlement have also been discussed with the U.S. Comgitroller of the Currency, whose office originally ap- proved the consolidation on Nov. 14, 1969, and intervened on the side of the banks in the anti-trust suit filed by the Justice Department. Class of 1945 Holds Reunion Seventy-five people, includ- ing members of the Mount Joy class of 1945, husbands, wives and guests attended a silver anniversary party on Saturday, Sept. 19, at the Overlook Country Club.

Citizens of the community who have had questions a- bout their local laws now can make their own personal in- vestigation into the matter by reading the ordinances. For instance— At times the question of air rifles arises. The index of the new book distinctly cites the chapter & section which applies. Section 3 of Chapiter V distinctly says that it is un- lawful to “discharge” an air gun. Another section of the same chapter sets out for one and all to read exactly what the Mount Joy law says con- cerning bows and arrows. o Spread This week, the Mount Joy Bulletin is launching a new project — one which we Cheer To Someone © take.

To be known as the ‘Cheer Club,” the project involves the spreading of just plain good old-fashioned cheer to people who need cheering up. Each weck the Bulletin will publish the name of some person either in or of the community who is a shut- in, an elderly bed patient, a chronically ill person or someone who has had an ex- tremely difficult cross to bear. That name, plus address and a brief sentence or two about the situation, will ap- pear in such a way that rea- card—even a postal card — someone in our community will be given a ray of sun- shine and will be cheered — not for the minute, not even for the day but probably for many days.
