A Mount Joy man who has seen three presidential inaug- ruations in Washington—each 20 years apart—wanted to go down this Saturday for the 1973 festivities. e oo © But, he has a cold and has not been feeling quite up to par. So, he has decided to stay home and break his rec- ord. His wife, however, had a suggestion, “I'll turn up the television, bring in a nail keg for you to sit on, open the front door and windows and you can have the same envir- onment as if you were in Washington. “Then,” she added “If you beg.n to sniffle, I'll put you to bed and give you a hot tod- dy.” ® ©® oo And, as a final practical sug- gestion, she added, ‘Besides, you can save $16.” w w & An interesting bit of trivia to think about.

Joy Borough Authority along Union School road, not a single one of the persons listed appeared Tuesday night, Jan. 16, at a public meeting called to discuss the project. Held in the Mount Joy Bor- ough building, the meeting was attended by only six citi- zens of the area. Not a one opposed the carilling operation. While there were numerous questions asked of the Bor- ough Authority and its legal engineering aids, no one op- posed the project. After a recent lengthy study by the Authority, a few weeks ago a contract was let to a Harrisburg firm to drill a well on a lot along the east side of Union School road, a short distance north of Wayn- esboro road. The well driller set up his rig and worked for about a day and a half. But he sus- pended operations when he was threatened with legal ac- tion by the East Donegal Twp. building permit officer. The officer's action, appar- ently, followed action by resi- dents of the area, who circul- ated and collected 28 names —representing 14 properties— opposing the drilling. The pe- tition had been addressed to the East Donegal Township Supervisors. Tuesday night's meeting, which lasted 75 minutes, had been called, by the authority for the purpose of giving the petitioners, the supervisors and everyone concerned and interested, a full and accurate picture of the “whys and wherefores” of the project. The petitioners against the drilling and officials of the township has been mailed per- sonal invitations to attend the meeting, Borough Manager George Ulrich said. The engineers displayed pic- tures of buildings his firm re- cently has erected at Gettys- burg for a similar purpose. They are located, he said, ad- jacent to the Eisenhauer land, Library in Financial Bind Mount Joy’s library is in a financial bind and needs as- sistance — badly! That is the sum and substance of reports made Monday night, Jan. 15, at the annual open meeting of the Board of Directors, held at the library. As of Tuesday, the organization shows a total cash bal- ance of all assets of $877.08 with accounts payable in amounts sufficient to reduce that amount to about $90. The board took immediate steps to issue a letter of ap- peal for money from individuals, businesses and organizatons. Plans also were made to begin a concerted effort to explain the situation to various organizations of the community to seek substantial assistance. Directors felt that ‘““if the public knows the need there will be a response.” President Al Newlin said, “We’re in trouble.” Treasurer Ronald Hawthorne said that between July of 1971 and June 30, 1972, the library spent $1,900 more money than it received in support. During the meeting, the board authorized the closing on Saturdays of the library, beginning the first Saturday in Feb- ruary. The library has been open each Saturday (except dur- ing the summer months) from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. Other annual meeting business included the election of officers for the year. ’ To serve as “honorary president” is Al Newlin. George Fitzkee was named vice-president; Mrs, Richard Schwartz, secretary, and Ronald Hawthorne, treasurer. The nominating committee, with the Rev, Clair L. Wag- ner, Jr., as chairman was instructed to continue to seek can- didates for the presidency and to fill two vice-president offices. Five directors were elected—Mrs. W. Richard Kohler, Mrs. Warren Foley, Mrs. Benjamin H. Horst; Mrs, James Rob- erts, and Miss Jean Musser, Other directors are: Henry G. Carpenter, Mrs. James Heilig, Mrs. Richard Schwartz, Rev. Clair [L. Wagner Jr.; Rev. Donald M. White- sel, Mrs. W, Richard Kohler and M. George Fitzkee. Nine of 11 directors eligible, attended the Monday night meeting, laid, the seams taped and then laid over the edge of a small retaining wall, forming a huge, shallow container.

But, no one knows his name Friday morning, about 10:30 o'clock, Earl R. Walton of Mil- lersville, a coin machine route manager who is in the com- munity regularly, stopped at the southwest corner of Main and Barbara streets. He had his wallet—contain- ing $85 in cash—out and on the shelf. But, when he left he failed to pick up the valuable piece of property. However, a person, describ- ed as a “young man” found the wallet, took it to the Mt. Joy police station, from which identification was made, a call placed to Millersville and Mrs. Walton contacted. All this was before the own- er even knew he had lost the pocketbook. Walton returned later in the day to Mount Joy and identi- fied and claimed his property. _ But, the finder who ‘popped’ into the borough building, “seemed to be in a hurry” and was gone before anyone learned his name. Walton would like to talk to the finder. In the meantime he says “thank you.” REPORT CARDS Elementary schools in Don- egal district will issue report cards on Friday, Jan. 26.
