Authority authorized its engineers to begin investiga- tion of the local situation as it is related to the discharge of sewage into Little Chiques creek. There have been no prob- lems which have caused the Authority to take the step, but because of the growing seriousness of the ecology picture, Authority members do not want to be caught uni- formed if, and when, the state makes a move toward requiring municipalities to upgrade their sewer plants. By present standards, Mt. Joy's sewer plant, apparent- }¥, is meeting requirements. However; at least 2 chem- ical entities — phosphates & nitrates — are not being re- moved. These, with ammoni- um compounds, are a big Of This and That’ Take a. 25V2-pound turkey. Stuff it with chestnut filling. Roast it slowly for seven hours.

Thursday, eating too much, but loving every minute of it! _® * i In the middle of the after- noon on Thursday, while the. turkey roasted, we took a lit- tle drive.. It was amazing how few people were on the high- ways. There were hardly any eating places open. When we finally saw one, we stopped for a cup of coffee. - Only a handful of people were there. They seemed to be either eld- erly couples whose children lived at too great a distance to come “home for Thanks- giving,” ‘or travelers. by the editor's wife One young family was hav- ing a good meal, and we ov- erheard a’ conversation like this: “How many hours till we'll be there?” “Three or four.” “Will they wait for us, to eat?” : “Of course.” “How many miles?” “One hundred and fifty.” W* » x ‘Everyone doesn’t eat tur- key on Thanksgiving Day.

They feed the growth of water plants and begin ‘a chain of actions which stretch far and wide. In the past—and, in fact, to the present — no sewage disposal plants handle these materials. Removal is a skil- led process ‘and as the per- centage of removal increases, the cost and technical skills increase. The state has given no or- ders for any kind of move, but there is a growing feeling that such action may not be too far in the future. The Authority’s Tuesday night action focused on a tar: get date of three years for accumulating ifs needed in- formation. Authority recognized that the field of ecology (a branch of biology which deals with the relations between living organizisms and their en- vironment) is very: very new, In fact, one authority mem- ber suggested that a year ago practically no one knew what the word meant and if asked probably would have guessed that it is a skin disease. Recognition of the growing impact of ecology prompted Authority to take its forward- looking action. The Authority also asked its engineers to draw a pro- posal for including the Don- egal Heights area, south of the borough, in the Mount Joy sewage system.

George Nauman, who has headed the organization this year, was speaking to the Mount Joy Rotary Club as he pointed out that the council has been caught in the pinehes of apathy. and a lack of communication which threatens its existence. The talk was made at the club’s weekly luncheon meet- ing, held at Hostetters. Nauman said that only a few representatives of the council attend the meetings, that finances are a problem and that there is a doubt in his mind that one of the chief projects which the group has sponsored in recent years merits the amount of money it costs. He was referring to the annual Memorial Day parade and the attendant activities which spread over a three or four day period. Last year, he said, the par ade cost $3,200 and he esti mated that it will run $3,700 | He tossed out the that am- | ount of money could be spent better in the community for in 1971. idea that perhaps more vital projects. He reported that each of the more than 20 organiza tions which theoretically be- | long to the council are sup- | posed to have representatives ! at the meetings — normally held the first Wednesday nite of each month. However attendance in re cent months has been very low. That fact he attributes to apathy. In the past, organization dues to the council have been | $10 per year. Because of the urgent need for money to keep the organization going, he is hoping that the amount can be raised to $15. The president of the 13- year-old council reviewed the aims and objectives of the Community Council, which in general functions to coordin- ate the activities of the vari- ous other organizations in the community and to serve the community in various coop~ erative ways. In the past, the council has sponsored many many pro- jects — Memorial day, the building of Memorial park from a rubble pile, vaccina- tions, “Music in the Park” programs, etc etc etc. In 1964 the council was in- corporated. At about the same time, the council gave heavy support to the forma- tion of the Mt. Joy Library Center. Funds for operating the come from the community by do- nations which are solicited, annual Memorial Day activities.
