the distribution of frozen fish

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.

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
