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.

the humblest householder had gone all out to have
Mount Joy looking its very best.
