At least, that is the way things are shaping up as of this week. However, at about the same time of the year, Mt. Joy will see what probably will be the biggest parade this parade-eager community ever has seen. Although there are a few ‘loose ends” to be tied up and final official details to be laid in place, it now appears that Mount Joy will be the site of the 1973 Lancaster County Fireman's Convention and Parade. Monday night, June 12, one of the principal approvals was granted by borough coun- cil; Councilmen approved ten- tative plans for the parade and placed handling of vend- ing licenses for the day in the hands of the firemen. Almost one of the biggest parades in the entire area, the 1972 event was held a few Continuation of programs sponsored by the Mount Joy Community Council are threatened, it was reveal ed this week, Projects are imperiled because the organization is running into a financial deficit following payment of bills incurred by the staging of the recent Memorial Day weekend. Total expenses for that community effort were $2,500.10, it is reported, and total contributions toward that amount have been only $1,877.00, leaving a deficit of $653.10.

Probably, the final approv- al needed before Mount Joy is named officially will be given at a meeting to be held soon by the county fire organ- ization. Mount Joy, including both the Friendship and Florin fire companies, already has ex- tended a bid for the conven- tion and there were no otaers asking to be the convention site. Tentatively, Community Council and the firemen have talked about holding the usu al Memorial Day weekend ac- tivities but substituting one parade for the other. As fortune has it, in 1873, the Memorial Day and fire ac- tivities will fall within a very few days of each other. May 30, next year is on a Wednes- day.

A month ago Mount Joy Jaycees presented and had approved a plan for installing tennis court lighting at the borough courts. Monday nite an altered plan was presented and approved. Jim Gingrich detailed the new proposal. A different lighting system has been ad- vised and will be supplied by the Joycees. Materials will cost about $300, Gingrich said. Lights will be activated through a coin box at a charge of $1 for an hour’s el- Music in the Park June 18 ectricity. It is hoped. the spokesman said, that the lights can be installed within the next two weeks. Action was taken Monday night which may add a sec- ond cruiser to the borough's police department equipment. By using a state/federal grant, it may be possible to buy the second police car on a 50-50 basis, or perhaps even more advantageously to the borough. The borough manager was gus authorized to investigate fur- ther into the possibilities. The subject of dogs erupted when a petition bearing 63 names was presented asking that borough council ‘do something’ to relieve an al- leged situation in the South Barbara, New, Walnut street area. A delegation of more than half dozen people was told that Mount Joy no longer has a “dog law” and that action must be taken by the people who feel that they have been offended. The ‘running at large” dog law is a state reg- ulation, Chief J. Bruce Kline said. On the strong plea of the delegation and based on the petition, Chief Kline and May- The Red Rose Chorus of the Lancaster Chapter of the SPEBSQSA, Inc.
