By R.A.R. The Mount Joy area will have considerable interest in the county office elections this year, according to the way things are now shaping up. At least three races appear to involve Republican candi- dates from this section — Dr, Newton Kendig of Mount Joy, Henry J. Rutherford of Mari- etta, and Wilson Bucher of Columbia, a native of Mariet- ta. : ®e © o Kendig, incumbent coron- er, has announced that he will seek re-election despite the party’s lack of endorse ment, Rutherford, a former member and president of the Donegal school board, has been given the approval of the party for District Attorn- ey, as has Bucher as candi- date for Judge of the County Court. oS 0» | a Candidates from the local area always give a certain ad- ded flavor to the election. Kendig, however, is probably the only one who will have opposition in the May prim- ary. ® © o Weather this week in Mt.

One of the beauty spots in Mount Joy is Park avenue, where dozens and dozens of pin oaks line the street from Main to Barbara, But, things are changing and the oaks are part of the picture, To begin at the beginning, some 23 years or so ago the Joy Development company took over the area and began the job of turning the land into one of the most attract- ive home and park sections in the entire district. One of the early projects was to plant many many oaks along what is now “Park ave- nue. The trees have thrived over the years and have been a delight to everyone. During all those years, the Joy company gave the oaks tremendous amounts of TLC (tender loving care) and the trees have responded, But, things are different now. Not many months ago the Joy company was dissolved and responsibility for the Park avenue area — princi- pally the oaks—has ended. During the years, Clayton (Jake) Aument, SICO’s park supervisor, . was responsible for the trees — for their feed- ing, pruning and spraying. And, under his care, they have become strong, sturdy (Turn to page 4) Donegal Juniors To Give Play March 19 and 20 The Class of 1972 of Done- gal high school announces production of the annual class play on Friday and Saturday evenings, March 19-20 at 8 p. m. in the high school auditor- ium, The play, “In Twenty-five Words or Death,” is a mys- rustic New England.

We weren't thinking about pussywillows, crocuses or any such things last Thursday ev- ening just before sundown, as we waited in the car for help to come and pull us out of a snowdrift! Neither were lots of other people in Lancaster County, we believe, for there were hundreds of motorists in snowdrifts Thursday night and Friday morning. It was a wild, cold time, with the strong winds blow- ing the snow across country so hard and fast that visibili- ty was absolutely zero at times. It was beautiful, if one were indoors looking out — but if one were out in it, try- ing to dig out a car or walk week a- WAS by the editor's wife for help, it was a cruel and treacherous time. Our. brief experience — which ended so luckily with the arrival of a huge tractor with two kind men inside the high, enclosed cab — could have been a tragic experience if we had been farther from help. We know now something of what it would be like to be travelers stranded on a drift- ed highway, and we can un- derstand how quickly the sit- uation could become desper- ate, with the cold wind and driving, blinding snow.

Kensel, Mount Joy dentist, has been an invalid .and con- high fined to her home for several - years. “Poverty is being conquer- ed in America. But, not by poverty programs or welfare. The answer is being found by the dynamics of American private enterprise.” So said State Senator Rich- ard A. Snyder of Lancaster, who was the guest speaker on Tuesday night, Mar, 9, at the annual dinner of the Mt. Joy Chamber of Commerce, held at Hostetters. Speaking principally upon the subject of welfare, he said that the overwhelming size and growth of the pro- gram is alarming people across the nation. But, Senator Snyder believes that there is an awakening a- mong the people, for the sake of America, Poverty and welfare are al- most inseparably intertwined, each apparently perpetuating the other, Long an opponent of the “welfare mess” Snyder feels that the most tragic part of the situation is that every dollar which is not well spent on welfare, is a dollar which can not be spent on education. And he cited the Chinese proverb which says that he who gives a man a fish, pro- vides only food for one meal but that he who takes time to teach his neighbor to fish, provides a means of provid- ing food for a lifetime, However, he pointed out, that there is no easy way to solve the welfare “mess.” One suggestion, he did make, was that the big cities and their problems be separated from the smaller communi- ties and rural areas and that handling the situations in the two be made to fit the local conditions. He scored heavily the prac- tice of encouraging welfare recipients to get off the aid by paying them to do so. Sny- der pointed to the inequity between the situation of two men working side by side at the same jobs when one individual earns the stated wage while the other is paid the same and also a welfare incentive, which may include money to pay taxes, transportation etc. “The real villian in the welfare system,” the senator charged, “is the social science, hierarchy,” which operates the system on an expanding principal of ‘need” as oppos- ed to the traditional ‘“Puritin Ethic” approach of productiv- ity. The speaker, who is the ranking minority member of the Public Health and Wel. fare committee in the Senate, discussed some of the findings of a state-wide survey made to unearth welfare discrep- encies.
