MT. JOY, PA. 17552. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1972 TEN CENTS Council Wants to Hear from People People living in the area or people who use the area have been given an in- vitation! Mount Joy’s Borough Council has ex- pressed a definite interest in the “No Parking” situation on Marietta avenue and has given serious considerttion to the possibility of shifting the present restric- tion on puarking from the north side of the street to “No Parking” on the south side. Although council members, privately, are willing to admit that “maybe” a mis- take was made in allowing vehicles to park on the south side, the feelings and experiences of people most directly invol- ed are wanted. Thus, an invitation was issued this week through Manager George Ulrich for people who live on Marietta avenue, peo- ple living south of Marietta in the “South Market street - Poplar Street - Pinkerton road” general area (in other words, those themselves, nication with onto Marietta vital portions who know the prbolem best) to express Letters, phone calls, discussions with councilmen or any other form of commu- borough officials is wanted before any kind of action will be taken. The matter of visibility for drivers who are driving north on Market, Poplar or Pinkerton and attempt to cross or turn is the problem. Cars and other vehicles parked along the south side of Marietta are charged with blocking the view and create a hazard, The fact that Poplar and Marietta is an intersection and by vehicles going to and from nearby Beahm junior high school tending to used by school children is one of the of the ‘otal problem. Borough Council meets next Monday night, Nov. 13, at 7:30 o'clock and the matter doubtless will come up for some discussion that evening. ~~ Mount Joy Votes 5 to 1 For Nixon Mount Joy voted Tuesday that many members of the for Richard M.

Despite what appeared to be a big turnout at the polls here on Tuesday, the number was only slightly ahead of four years ago. This year, 1877 voted. In 1968 there were 1857. In 1864 there were 1773. With the lowering of voting age, the number who did cast ballots was relatively lower. However, as measured against the national turnout, the participation in Mount Joy was well above average. The three voting precincts in Mt, Joy had 2249 people register- ed to vote. Thus, about 81 rer cent of the eligible voters used their franchise. Kenneth E. Brandt, Repub- lican candidate for State Rep- resentative polled 1413 against Harry Raymond, Democrat, who had 424. Locally, in the race for State Treasurer, Republican Glenn E.

Stevenson of Harrisburg. Dr. Schlosser, during his 27 years as a practicing family physician in Mount Joy, has been a staunch churchman, working in many capacities as well as serving as organist. As on Sunday when he presented his concert, includ- ing works of some of his fav- orite composers, he has de- lighted his friends and fellow townspeople with his music on many many occasions.
