*i By R.A. R. How much damage was done to Marietta’s street by the Agnes flood? An estimate has set the figure at $133,846. ® ® © To measure that amount, consider that Mount Joy an- nually spends about $25,000 on major street repair and improvement. In other words, at the rate Mount Joy norm- ally spznds money on its streets, it would take nearly six vaars to rebuild Marietta’s damage. ® © 6 And, all that damage was done within a few hours. ® ® eo It was well before the “heat of the day” on Thursday — the first after McGovern was nominated — that one of the town’s staunchest Democrats (a man who has been a candi- datz on the Democrat ticket) turned up at the Bulletin of- fice to have his say. ® ® ] What he said was that he's “going down to Lancaster” end change his registration to Republican. @ @® © “I'm not one of those hip- pies,” he explained. ® ® @ He’s above 60 years of age and he guessed that at his e222 he’s finished with the Democrat party and now will ke a Republican. ee oo & It just might be a long tough night at the Donegal school board meeting Thurs- day night (at Riverview school — 7:30 p.m.) e 6 e Aithough the decision, ap- parently, has bee made, there still is the outside pos- s bility that the hiring of a new football coach for the In- dians could be changed. ® ® @® And, it is that slimmest chance that a group of local fans of Henry “Al” Brooks hope to exploit. ® ee © A relatively small group of voung people, aided and sup- ported by some adults, has been plugging hard with a petition to have Brooks re- stored.

Weatherwise, the summer of 1972 has been a strange one, and one this area will not soon forget. The spring season: was uncomfortably cool, and then when summer actually arrived, there was rain rain rain .

Highlights of the trip were visits to the United States Mil- itary Academy at West Point, to Hyde Park, historic home of the Roosevelts, and to the fabulous Vanderbilt mansion, all three located not too far apart on the breathtakingly beautiful cliffs along the Hud- by the editor's wife son River. est Point amazed us with its size and the beauty of its grounds, buildings and homes. Jyde Park impressed us with its “personal” quality, its well-kept grounds, its exten- sive historical museum, and the loveliness and charm of its many ™®amily” room. A National Parks Ranger who was showing us through the house, expressed what we felt to be true: “President Roosevelt loved Hyde Park so much, and he liked so well to be here whenever he could that we sort of feel that his cpirit may be around here even yet!” It was definitely a home! We could sense how well it was loved, and its decor and furnishing spoke loudly of the personalities of these - who lived there. Most impressive of all was the beautiful Rose Garden, enclosed with tall evergreen hedg:s, and in its very center a plain white, rectangular monument and the graves of Franklin and Eleanor Roose- velt. It seemed such a per- fect, such a fitting place for (Turn to Back Page) Council Votes For “Back Up" Cruiser Meeting in special session Monday night,” July 17, Mt. Joy Borough Council: —Let a contract for fuel oil, and —Committed itself to a 2- car police dept. operation, A contract was awarded the Hollinger Oil company to provide oil for the borough building on a bid of 15.2 cents per gallon. However, delivery price will “float” with the es- tablished tank wagon post- ings. Three other bids were sub- mitted by SICQ company, Garber Oil company and C. T. Lutz. Last year the same com pany had the contract. Total cost was $2,200 for 14.332 gallons of No. 2 fuel oil. The borough has four other hoat- ing units to fuel. Although implementation of the program of the fuel program still is to be arrang- ed, the Council.committed it- self to add another cruiser to the borough’s police depart. ment. Plans are for the de Fariment to go into a car leasing arrangement. The present cruiser would be tra- ded in on the total package deal and replaced with a car which will be a 1972 model. A second car—referred to as the “back-up” cruiser — also will be furnished by the leasing company. Par{ of ths to!al arrange- ment is to equip the extra car with a new radio unit.

The leased cars maintained and the borough. would be insured by Plans to lease were follow- ed when it was discovered that of ten auto dealers con- tacted, not one was willing to submit a bid for selling a car. Nearness to delivery time for 1973 models and lack of in- formation on pricing were blamed for the failure of a single firm to offer a bid. Addition of the second car to the police department was prezipitated by the notification several months ago by police Chief J. Kline that in the future he will not use his personal. car for police and borough business.
