By R.A.R. Last week we told you a- bout the newcomer to Mount Joy who discovered that in this community you can’t be too sure when you may un- cover a tennis player. Scratch a little and you'll discover more talent than might be expected. Let me tell you about an- other relatively new arrival in Mount Joy. ® oOo oo He had been playing tennis here and one day recently was playing with Drew Hos- tetter, Donegal high school’s current number one boy. @® ® o The new man knew Drew is good and had been experi- encing the fact game after game. ® o o Finally Drew said, in effect, “Tell you what—just to make it interesting for you, I'll play left handed.” ® Oo o Mr. New thought, “Oh boy! This is my chance to beat Drew Hostetter—even if its his left hand.” e © o - So the game began again. ® Oo o But, what the recent arrival didn’t know is that Drew is by nature left handed and is not like most of us when we try to shift. Our friend who was doing .the discovering did win some games but for Drew, left hand is still pretty good. ® Oo o One of the old timer tennis players in Mount Joy heard the story and told how Elmer Brown years ago didn’t have a very good backhand stroke and when it became necessa- ry he quickly switched the racket from right to left hand and got along very well. ® oo eo While still on the subject of tennis, we're not really surprised that Drew Hostetter gets along well with tennis. There is a family tradition of sports winnings. ® @ » His father and grandfather —Jere Hostetter and Irvin Hostetter—both have been golf winners for many years. ® o eo A fact which: may not mean very much to you but which maybe should, is that last week the Mount Joy Bulletin began its 73rd year of continuous publication, ee © o That makes it among the oldest if not the oldest busi- ness in town. ®e 6 © The reason you should be interested is that a town the size and character of Mount Joy does not always have a newspaper. * * In many communities such as Mount Joy, the weekly pa- per has folded—is a thing of the past, and has left the community without its voice, its ears, its sense of touch within its own person. ® ® ® The newspaper: yes, the weekly: too, is one of the watchdogs, one of the hnlanc- es, one of the continuing for- ces which help to determine the orbit into which the com- munity moves. ® © o Seventy-two years is a long time and we're proud that there is a heritage of community service for the Bulletin far beyond the basic economic facts of life neces- sary for its existence. ® © o This is an item we've had (Turn to page 5) Mount Joy's ONLY VOL. 73.
