Hershey Story is Told Kenny Bowers, a public relations representative of Hershey Foods Corp., was the speaker Tuesday noon, July 13, at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Mount Joy Ro- tary club, held at Hostetters. Taking the clubmen and their guests behind the scenes of the public relations depart- ment of the Hershey empire, he talked about how the com- pany presents its image to the public, Two means, traditionally, have been used—writing let- ters and offering tours of the plant. Only very recently has there been a turn to advertis- ing of the standard variety. Bowers said that in 1946 there were 37,000 people tak- en through the plant. Last year there were 899,000. “Of- ficials expect 11,000 on a typ- ical day this summer and up to 16,000 during Dutch Days. To handle the tourist visits, a new “Worlds Fair type Ride” is to be devised and will be used for entertain- ment and education in about two years #« The letter aspect of public relations, he said, includes answering letters by the hun- dreds from all sorts of peo- ple — consumers, beggars, complainers and kooks. But, all are designed to make friends for the corporation. Bowers was introduced by . program chairman and - vice- president Dr. Robert Brack- bill. Vo-Tech'ers.

Keef- er returned to Millersburg for a ten-week period, arriv- ing by air on June 25. They left Rhodseia on the 22nd of June and stopped on their way at Athens to visit with Mr, and Mrs. Kenneth Len- hert. Mrs. Lenhert was a stu- dent at Messiah college where she met and married her Am- erican husband. He is now studying to be a medical doc- tor in his wife's home city.

Keefer can serve as the evangelist at the church's Roxbury Camp Meeting from July 28 to August 8, Also, during this visit the Keefers will attend 2 other church % Co-op Program (From page 1) Mount Joy, it was pointed out, operates on a budget of $206,000, making the bor- ough’s portion of the antici- pated expense of the new of- fice something between 2 and 3 percent of the total. Likewise, the Borough Au- thority’s share of the Bor- ough Manager's salary will be about two percent of its op- erating revenue of $288,000. From a business standpoint, they expect that amount, or more, will be gained by the simple expediency of good management — through joint purchasing, efficient manage- ment and, hopefully, other employment practices. Borough councilmen authority members see and that streamlined coordinating by a full-time manager will vas- tly improve the part-time ad- ministration of the present type. Leisure Club The Mount Joy Leisure Club enjoyed a covered dish luncheon at the Sportsman’s Farm on Monday noon, July 12. Fifty-three members and four visitors were present, After a short meeting, priz- es were won. The club will sell peanut crunch again for the benefit of the club. A corn roast is planned in Au- gust. People who talk about re- ligion all the time often fail to understand its meaning. A look at the fire fighting capabilities of Mount Joy was taken Monday night, July 12, as Borough Council held its monthly meeting in the bor- ough building. And, there were indications that the council wants to have further conversations with both Friendship Fire company and Florin Fire Co. and possibly with the district fire marshall. Discussion was opened when Friendship Fire Chief Frank Good Jr. and Company Finance Officer Dennis Fack- ler appeared.to ask for a $1, 000 grant to be used to par- tially defray a $1,591 bill for equipment repairs. The work was done on the pump of the 1949 Dodge pumper truck. Originally, it had been antic- ipated that the bill would run between $800 and $1,200. The The firemen said that the gen- eral fund of the company has available only $1,205. Fighting a continually tightening budget, council in- dicated an interest in some kind of working arrange- ments and planning between the two companies of the borough and in promoting ad- ded financial participation by the townships adjoining the borough. Inspected for borough con- sideration, Councilmen learn- ed that the average cost of answering a fire call by New President Leads Lions Club Robert Greider, newly-in- stalled president of the Mount Joy Lions club, conducted his first meeting July 6 at Hostet- ter’s.

MR. MERCHANT You Can Rent An Ad Space Here In Our NEXT ISSUE WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 1971 Friendship company has been $120.88. Council feels that a com- parison of the financial costs and the number of calls into the rural areas are not com- patible with the contributions made, Council did, however, ad- vance the fire company’s $1,- 00 requested, to be charged against its year’s allocation of $3,000. In other business Monday night, Council ordered an in- vestigation into the writing of three new borough ordin- ances — Dog control; aband- oned car control, and anti littering. Mount Joy formerly had ordinances concerning dogs and abandoned cars but both were dropped when the laws were codified. Because of repeated .vandal- ism and because they now are in bad repair, stone pil- lars at the Borough Park en- trance were ordered remowv- ed. Looking to next winter. 120 heavy duty snow fence posts and 400 feet of snow fence were purchased at a price of between $375 and $400. The Hollinger Oil company was given a contract for fur- nishing oil to the borough properties on a bid of 15.9c per. gallon. Two other bids were offered, Council was informed that Wood street construction is progressing and that surfac- ing may be done this week. Six other new secitons of street will then be done as a part of the summer program. Police Patrolman Grabill was given a special merit raise of $137 for the balance of the year and the police de- partment, as of August 1, to go on a 44-hour week week schedule. is % Boro Manager (From page 1) candidate for the job and that “many years ago my fa ther taught me to ‘never vote against myself.” Ulrich has been in Mount Joy, including a house- ~hunting expedition, and will be here again July 26 to at tend an executive session of the Council, Council indicated that the next several weeks and prob- ably months will be a trans ition period” in the history ‘of the community, as the new system of government admin- istration is placed in action. One of the problems im- mediately facing the borough fathers is an office for the new manager: Another is the consolida- tion of borough records. At present many are in boxes at the home of Councilman Klei- ner, who in" recent months has been serving as assistant borough secretary. How to remodel the bor- ough office to accommodate the manager’s office, the pol- ice office and the authority office is undecided. Three dif- ferent proposals were made Monday night but all three were voted down. A decision will come later, apparently.
