Who's right and who's wrong — if there is a clear definition — is anyone’s guess. ® o ® But, we’d like to point out that most baseball players are not the tremendously high- super stars who earn the fabu- lous salaries. Most—and we do mean most — are on the low rung of the ladder and are just barely making ends meet like the rest of us. ®@ © o When someone talks about average salary of basebail players, he is using the fan- tastic wage paid to the super stars to help inflate the aver- age. © 6 © And, on the other hand, there are plenty of people who feel that anything a guy gets for “playing” baseball is more than he deserves. The idea that the men are playing a game doesn’t go down with some people at all. ® © eo Mount Joy’s current parti- cipant in professional baseball -— Bruce Sutter — had been having a good start in Spring Training at Scottsdale with the Chicago Cubs when the strike interrupted things. ® © o He had been doing some 2 or 3 inning hurling stints and had been getting along fine, friends and family here have learned. mount VOL. 71.

Someone called the Bulle- tin to report that they had seen sizeable flocks of swans and sea gulls out near Seiler school. A neighbor spent most of one day heavily pruning his apple trees. Another neighbor was roto- tilling a section of his front lawn, where the grass died last summer from a vicious disease. It seemed he was get- ting ready to ‘start all over!” As we drove along the Manheim road, a state crew was taking down and rolling up sections of snow fence! And we discovered many little blossoms on the peri- winkle that is planted along the south side of our house, among the evergreens. * * * The wind was chill, and the sky was leaden after a few minutes of sunrise sun- shine Sunday morning up on thre hill at the Florin Church of the Brethren.

Jec Summy gave the invoca- tion, Allen Secrest read the scripture, and Rodney Hersh- ey gave the benediction. Coffee, hot chocolate and doughnuts were served in a pleasant interlude in the church’s fellowship hall fol- lowing the service. * ® was an “Easter egg A few years ago it rare to see by the editor's wife tree.” but this year we saw many of them, both inside big front windows and outside on lawns. One of the prettiest was part of a “picture” we will never forget. It was inside a big front window in an older home. Flanking it on either side, to frame it, were potted philodendrons. In front of it, on a table, was a row of Af- rican violets in full bloom. It looked as if someone had gone to much trouble to give passersby a bit of pleasure.
