WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, By Max Smith IF THE lights flicker when the refrigerator motor starts, or the TV picture wabbles when the furnace goes on, or any other electrical motor cuts in, you may have the problem of an overloaded el- ectrical wiring system. Our Penn State Safety Committee reminds us that many folks keep additional pieces of el- ectrical equipment without thinking. of the need of heav- ier wiring in their home or in the building. Cooler wea- ther is arriving and may call for additional heaters, lights, and a greater need for elect- ricity. It is advised to have the wiring system checked by a power company official or a local electrician. Overload- ed circuits may be a fire haz- ard. GOOD FARM management requires the proper 1970 of farm the winter months. It is dis- couraging to see equipment left out in the barnyard or out in the field during the winter months. This equip- ment is a big investment to any farmer and should be housed in order to keep it from rusting out rather than wearing out. Machinery sheds separated from the main barn are the safest be- cause of less loss in case of fire. The important thing is to provide cover to keep out the snow and rain. Working parts should be greased in order to prevent rusting. Good machinery care goes a- long with good management and greatest return on the in- vestment. equipment STRIKING colors of autumn are expected to be beautiful in most areas of the state this fall; we need bright sun- ny days with moderately cool nights for the best coloring to develop. If many of the days are overcast and rainy, then the yellow and brown colors, not the intense reds & purples, will be the dominant colors. Frost has little to do with promoting fall colors. Other factors affect fall col- ors such as the kind of a tree or bush, the location, and soil conditions. When we storage see a brilliant crimson it is For during probably a red maple; bright to brilliant scarlet would be- long to a scarlet oak or a sour gum tree; red oak pro- duces dark red to russet foli- age, dogwood is crimson, and the sugar maple is a bright orange to yellow color. Fall coloring makes the country- side very attractive at this time of the year. COLD weather is coming and before the ground freezes home owners should be sure their ornamental shrubs and trees have plenty of mois- ture; this is very true with the broadleaf evergreens that are most likely to winter-kill; such as azaleas, rhododen- drons, and hollies. If these trees are short of moisture when the - ground freezes, leaf losses of moisture causes dehydration during the cold weather and the branches will show winter killing next summer. A good soaking ev- ery 10 days until the ground freezes is needed if we do not get heavy, soaking rains. The newly-planted trees & shrubs should also get this extra wa- ter until cold weather arrives Fall is the time when you get the spring lawnmower sharpening done. Advertising Doesn’t Cost — It Pays!

PAGE SEVEN THE Prayer of the Week The prayer this week is from the Book of Common Prayer: “O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, our" only Saviour, the Prince of Peace; give us grace seri- ously to lay to heart the great dangers we are in by our unhappy divisions. Take away all hatred and prej- udice, and whatsoever else may hinder us from godly union and concord; that as there is but one body and one Spirit, and one hope of our calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of us all, so we may be all of one heart and of one soul, united in one holy bond of truth and peace, of faith and charity, and may with one mind and one mouth glorify Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” SPECIAL SERVICES AT FLORIN CHURCH Special evangelistic services are being held each night of this week in Florin Church of Brethren with Rev. Robert L. Sherfy, pastor of Bridge- water (Va.)

There were end tables. lamp bases, a whole bedroom set, a flour chest, a Grandfa- ther’s clock, and dozens of other interesting and beauti- ful pieces. Mrs. Bachman’'s handiwork was much in evi- dence, too, in the lampshades, in the many examples of de- coupage, the needlepoint, the cane-seated chairs and many other items. One thing that particularly interested us was a little ta- ble, made from the four drawers of an old treadlc sewing machine, mounted on an appropriate base. This house had a view, too. of rolling green flelds with blue hills in the background. Visitors to both the Stein- metz and Bachman homes were lavish in their praise of the owners’ ability to make a home that literaly “oozed” charm and beauty! x * % Two visitors came to the Mount Joy Bulletin office on Tuesday afternoon, directed there by Mr. and Mrs. Adan Greer. Their name? Mr. and Mrs. Edward C. Mountjoy! The Mountjoys were charm- ing people, residents of Pitts- burgh, where Mr. Mountjoy is in the executive depari- ment of the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad. They had be=n on a visit to Lititz, noticed our town on the map, and thought they should drive through. . They stopped at the Grears’, who gave them some Mount Joy souvenirs. We talked to them about their family. Mr. Mountjoy’s famiy was originally Irish, he believes. They have a son, but he is only recently marrizd and has no children. But the Mountjoys are hoping for a grandson before too long, to carry on their famiy name and our town’s! Mountjoys, welcome to Mount Joy!
