How such a facility might shape up for the Mount Joy and Elizabethtown area was discussed in open meeting at the Mount Joy Borough Buil- ding on Wednesday night, Ap- ril 7, for for a group of ap- proximately 30 interested civ- ic-minded citizens, Some of the “hows” and “whys” of a medical center to serve the two communities, as well as a wide segment of population in the western sec- tion of Lancaster county, were discussed by Glenn Ir- win of Elizabethtown, who has spent a great deal of time over the past several months investigating the possibilities and probabilities of establish- ing such a center, The meeting was sponsored by the Mount Joy Community Council with the president, George Nauman, presiding. The speaker was introduc- ed by Charles Ricedorf, chair- man of a Lions Club commit- tee which has been intensely interested in the problem of medical care in the future for people of this community. Ricedorf explained that the Lions have been interested in «ed 0 gopfug HW TEN CENTS the problem for some time and that a few weeks ago Ir- win talked to the entire club. At that time considerable en- thusiasm was generated and a committee formed. Ricedorf emphasized that such a facility necessarily would be a community-wide project—not a Lions club pro- gram.

This week the museum’s curator, Mrs. Blanche Reigle, said that an old wagon bed which has been sitting for many years in an old tobacco shed, is to be moved to the museum, where it ultimately will be mated with a set of _wheels and running gears to become one of the thousands Two or three years ago Mr. and Mrs. Joseph T. M. Brene- man sold their farm, just north of the borough, to the vo-tech schools. Part of the land was occupied by a farm- stead, including an old barn, corn crib, tobacco shed, etc. Recently the votech people sold the buildings—all except the house and garage — to a Manheim man for demolition, However, whatever property when he was a boy, there was an old wagon on the farm, used to haul corn to the mill to be ground. Apparently, sometime later the bed was set off its wheels and stored in the barn. The owner had nothing he wanted to do with the ancient ‘piece of equipment. He con- tacted the Landis Valley mus- elm and the maintenance man came to investigate. The wagon bed, Mrs. Reigle told the Bulletin this week, is not from a Conestoga wagon, but appears to be a (Turn to page 5) Cadet Teachers in Charge the honor bestowed is not and thousands of farm items was in the barn was not part lightly given. on display. of the sale. : a rma at ® o oo How the wagon bed hap- Thus, when an ol wagon y --pproximately 60 D.

In fact, some land fills are re- fusing to take plastic bags. The plastic is an innert ma- terial which does not deteri- orate and become part of the earth as does most matter which goes into the dumps. Thus, a landfill becomes filled with one tight plastic bag on top of another tight plastic bag, which finally chokes the earth and makes it fit for no other use.

The tragedy was discover- ed by Mrs. Harold Milligan, employee at the insurance ag- ency, when she arrived at the office shortly after 7 a.m. As she opened the drapes at the windows she saw the overturned tractor but could not see Wivell, who was un- der the machine. However, she did investigate and dis- covered his body, pinned face down in the ground. Part of the tractor was against the back of his head and later an autopsy indicated he suffered asphyxiation. Dr. Thomas O’- Connor, deputy coroner, who was called, pronounced Wiv- ell dead at the scene. Although there apparently were no witnesses, it is be- lieved that in some way the wheels of the tractor became unbalanced along the should- er of the macadam, flipping the machine, Because of the position of the body, there was belief that he may have attempted to jump clear of the tractor as it started to roll over. The tractor landed (Turn to page 5) P. O.
