I. Schofleld. Weis Buys Sea Food Firm Sigfried Weis, president of Weis Markets, has announced that Weis has purchased the assets of the Sunbury Whole- sale Sea Food Co. in a cash transaction. Sunbury Wholesale Seafood company was established on March 1, 1947, as a partner. ship of Raymond L. Bowers and his son Michael L. Bow- ers. It’s primary purpose was the distribution of frozen fish and seafood throughout the Central Susquehanna Valley area. The company has expanded by the addition of frozen foods, meats and a complete line of grocery products and developed into a full line in- stitutional supply house and expanded its service area. It now covers a 75 mile radius around Sunbury. In the mid-sixties, after his father’s retirement, Michael Bowers, with the help of his wife, Ruth and his sons, Jer- ome and Stephen, continued to further enlarge the busi- ness and in 1969 moved from its small Sunbury location to a newly-constructed 16,000 square faat distribution cen- ter in Northumberland. Parade Fund Needs Help 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. Council officials point out that butions are needed from var‘ous the community. | additional contri- sources throughout WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 1972 EDITORIALS Several months ago a proposal was made to build a band “shell” in Mount Joy’s Memorial park. And, since that time the idea has been mulled around and, actually, very little done toward imple- menting the project. At this time there are no draw- ings, no cost estimates and no real details of any kind. In fact, it still is vague as to whether or not there should actually be a band shell or a simple stage, or some type structure which could be first a platform and then, at some later date serve as the base upon which the “shell” could be added. Memorial park and the programs presented there—especially the “Music in the Park” series al- ways has been one of our favorites. The park is a down-town beauty spot. With its memorial plaque, flag pole, benches, rose garden and trees and lawn, it is very attractive and very useful for various types of programs. However, and this question comes after soul searching over a long period, we do wonder about the advisability of spending money for a permanent stage or shell. Yes, such a facility would be nice. But, does the obvious cost — even without an estimate — justify the effort? One of the principal reasons for such a question rests upon the interest the community apparently has in programs in the park. Attendance at park programs has not been over- whelming. And — there are some indications that it is dwindling. The type program has :somethng to do with how many people turn out. Because it has been suggested that vo-tech stu- dents be asked to do the construction work, out-of- pocket costs probably could be held down. One com- munity minded citizen suggested that the same young builders construct the shell across the road, east, of the vo-tech building. We are of the opinion that actual use of the park for stage-type programs is sufficiently questionable and possibly to wait until there may be more to justify deeper consideration of the project » community interest in park programs. = ED ESHLEMAN’S WASHINGTON REPORT Can one man make a differ- ence in the modern world? I am asked that question often by people who for one reason or another have lost faith that an individual can bring about significant change in today’s society. In his travels to Peking and Moscow, President Nixon should have given new hope to those who have raised that question. While it cannot yet be said that the President has changed the world, it is ap- parent that he has brought the world to the brink of change. And for one man, even one as powerful as the President of the United States that is an accomplishment wofth noting. Anyone who remembers things as they soon on our globe when the Presdent took office can see the difference that he has made. In January 1969 the foreign policy of our country was in shambles, The Vietnam dilemma, the Middle East crisis and our deteriorating relationships with our allies had put us in the position of being a world power with little or no influ- ence in world events. Peace was an impossible dream be- cause we were unable to deal with the other great powers in the world, namely Russia and China, in an ef- fort to attain ‘it. But President Nixon chang- ed the situation. Slowly and sometimes with the handicap of uninformed criticism he did those things that needed to be done before he could successfully negotiate with the Russians and Chinese on the goal of peace. He began a withdrawal from Vietnam, but one that fulfills our com- mitments rather than ‘aban- doning them. He worked to- ward cooling the crisis in the Middle East so there was less chance of a shooting war that could produce a direct con- frontation between the U. S. and the Soviet Union. And, he traveled and talked to our allies in an effort to assure thém that the United States will continue its role in help. ing to keep the Free World free. Only then could he open the doors to China. President Nixon had no illusions that traveling would result in ma- king the Communist Chinese our friends. But ending our isolation of them meant that other nations could no longer think of the U. S. - China re- lationship as being non-exist- ent. From the President's trip on, the world had to con- sider the possibility that we could get together with the Chinese on matters of mutual concern. That fact increased the chances for success in Mos- cow. The rivalry between Moscow and Peking is well known, and the Soviet lead- ers were anxious to make certain that their ties to the United States were just as strong, or stronger, than those of the Chinese. Therefore, the President found a willingness to negotiate in Russia that no American President had found before, All of this means that we once again have a working foreign policy. It is not a policy that promises instant peace, but it does make peace a possible dream. Dang- er still lies ahead for there is always the chance that all of the negotiations and all the hopes produced by those negotiations will break down in a moment of madness The Mount Joy BULLETIN 11 EAST MAIN STREET MOUNT JOY, PA, 17552 Published Weekly on Wednesdays Ixcept Fourth of July Week and Christmas Week (50 Issues Per Year) Richard A.
