Sometime Saturday night,
all clocks in the area will be
moved backward one hour,
and thus abandoning daylight
time for another year.

So—you weren't ready for
snow on October 19th? You
thought, “It’s too soon!”

First thing Thursday morn-
ing last week Amanda Darr-
renkamp remembered,
® © eo
Not long ago she was look-
ing through some old snap
shots.
® © o
She backtracked and sure
enough, there was a picture
of her daughter, Jean (now,
Mrs. Dan Jury), standing out
in the back yard, dressed in
a snow suit and standing in
the snow.
@ # ®
On the back WAS-the date
—October 19, 1940.
® ® @®
Claude Reigle: matched it
with a snow scene taken in
his back yard and the note on
the back said—‘“Oct. 19, 1940
three inches of snow.”
® ® ®
This week is ‘“‘time turn-
back time”.
® ® ®
An interesting ‘letter to the
editor” was received by the
Mount Joy Bulletin this week.
But, we hasten to decline to
publish. It was signed by
“Richard P. Kelly.”
® oo ©O
You may recall that “Rich-
ard P. Kelly” had his facts
badly confused several weeks
ago in a letter to another edi-
tor as he took pot shots at the
borough council from behind
the shield of anonimity.
® © eo
But, the interesting fact is
that there does not seem to be
a “Richard P. Kelly” in the
immediate neighborhood. But,
the first chief of the Mount
Joy Friendship company prob-
ably was named Richard P.
Kelly.

Will the real Richard P.
Kelly please stand up and be
counted?

PATRICK INDUSTRIES DEAL IN PLYWOOD
Break Ground For Another New Industry
: With a minimum of advance notice and without exten-
sive fanfare, ground was broken at the east edge of Mount
Joy Tuesday afternoon, October 24, for another new indus-
trial plant.
Patrick Industries,
manufacturers and distributors of
plywood and plywood products, turned the first spadeful of
ground. The site is east of the Parkwood Homes plant, where
steel is rising now for a new plant. ;
The Patrick site includes Central railroad and the east
almost 13 acres which is
bounded by Route 230, the
Chiques-Eby road, the Penn
boundary of the Parkwood
property.
Planned for the site are two
buildings. One will be a ware-
house and the other a plant
which will manufacture ply-
wood kitchen cabinets for use
in mobile homes. Together
they will cover about 67,000
square feet.
When in full production, the
Patrick plant will employ
about 100 people, the Mount
Joy Borough Council was told
Monday night,
At a special meeting, held
SATURDAY AT 7 P.M., SHARP

in the Borough building, the
council Monday gave approval
of a sub-division plan which
paves the way for final prop-
erty and legal settlements,
which were carried out Tues-
day morning in Lancaster.

mony of ground breaking was
held.

‘Of This and That’
Craft Days at Landis Val-
ley are pretty wonderful, as
we have said many times.
They give people, twice each
year, an opportunity to see
first-hand an interesting way
of life that has vanished.
Broom making, caning, mak-
ing lard and apple butter,
threshing wheat, weaving,
spinning, etc., are re-created
in a beautiful rural setting
that makes them very convin-
cing.
We have attended many
times, taking our own child-
ren, our grandchildren, our
parents, and other guests.
We regretted not to be able
to go there this past weekend
—but the truth of the matter
is, there just wasn’t time! We
were too busy getting ready
for “Pioneer Night at the
Rainbolts’!”
A “mini” Craft Days took
place in our basement Mon-
day night, staged by our
youngest daughter, who is a
senior at Elizabethtown Col-
lege, and two of her friends.
Other members of their Cre-
ative Expression class were
“guests”. For two hours, these
18 young people went back-
ward in time about 120 years
and thoroughly enjoyed the
“feel” of a pioneer household!

Transported instantly from
the 20th century to the 19th
by an ingenious ‘time mach-
ine” complete with psychede-
lic 1'ghts and weird music, the
young people and their profes-
sor “churned” butter in a pint
mason jar, roasted chestnuts
and popped corn by an open
fire, played checkers on an
old hand-made checkerboard
with “corn cob” checkers,
ground corn with a heavy
stone, ground coffee beans in
an old-time coffee mill and
then brewed coffee in a simp-
le pot, listened to the story of
Johnny Appleseed, sang old-
time folk songs, peeled apples
with an old iron peeler, seas-
oned them with sugar and
freshgrated nutmeg, and bak-
ed them in the fire.
They made an d drank
“mulled” cider, mashed pota-
toes in an earthenware crock
with a big wooden ‘‘stomper,”
kneaded fresh whole wheat
bread dough, and then proce-
eded to eat three big loaves
of home made bread with
their freshly-made butter and
spicy apple butter!
It was a gala evening! Ev-
eryone participated enthusias-
tically, and seemed loathe to
leave when the “party” was

nedy said, “UNICEF has
caught the imagination of our
people — especially our child-

ions have become a symbol of
