And, speaking of the fast rise in food prices.... +++ Plans for the annual Men's Communion Breakfast, held recently in this community, were made several weeks in advance and the price of the breakfast was set at $1. bb Based on past experience and coupled with the fact that the affair is not a money making event, it was felt that the break- fast could be served for that . amount.

Filling the pews and sitting on chairs in the choir left and in the aisles, Mount Joy townspeople and out-of-town visitors were warm and responsive in the reception of the organ and voice recital. The program was varied, and ranged from Bach, Handel and Mendelssohn to negro spirituals. Dr. Schlosser, organist at St. Luke's, played the prelude, the offertory, two solos, and ac- companied the soloists in his capable fashion. Mr. Merritt, from the Education department at Elizabethtown college, pleased his audience greatly with his warm and expressive baritone voice in several groups of numbers. Mrs. Bridgett, long a favorite with Mount Joy audiences, sang beautifully, her modulation, tone, depth and expression thrilling" her listeners again and again. She and Mr. Merritt joined their voices in three very lovely songs. It was an afternoon to be long- remembered! We heard an interesting story this week end that we think is worth sharing: A Hershey man, his wife and (Continued on Page 11) security and clean-up. For these services, each stand will pay a fee.

Boro Council to Protest PP&L's Rate Hike Notice POLICE PATROLMAN NESTLERODE RESIGNS Playgrounds, police, photos, property and protest were some of the features Monday night, April 9, as Mount Joy Borough Council held its April meeting at the Borough building. And, it all took four hours! A protest, in the name of the taxpayers of the community, is to be registered against the P.P. & L.’s proposed electric rates in- crease of 12 percent. Boro Receives $8,053 Check Another fat check for Mount Joy! Monday morning, April 9, the borough received its third ‘revenue sharing’ payment from the federal government. It was for $8,053. The funds were to be deposited directly into a special fund from which selected items may be paid as authorized by the borough council. Previously, there have been two other checks, one in the amount of $14,167, representing a payment for the first two quar- ters of 1972, and the second for $13,595, as a third and fourth quarter amount. The check received this week is for the first quarter of 1973. Borough council has been exceedingly frugal in its spending of the revenue sharing monies. Care has been taken to allocate in such a way that additional, continuing expenses are not involved. Most expenditures have been in the class of capital expenses - for things which are additions to the borough’s facilities. One use made of the fund is to reduce the borough tax rate by one mill. Official forms are to be secured and a complaint filed, presumably to lead to some kind of a hearing at a later date. Police Patrolman Fred Nestlerode, who has been an local officer for four years, submitted his resignation to take a similar job in York County. William Roberts, presently serving as a part-time officer, for Mount Joy and as a full-time police in Columbia, was named as a replacement and was placed on a six-month probationary status. William G. Vogle, West Main Street, was named as a new part- time patrolman. The matter of police com- munications equipment and of plans for handling crowds and other security and safety matters during the Lancaster County Firemen’s convention on June 2 were discussed. Permission was granted to move 1973 playground operations to the Florin playground from Grandview school was given and a financial contribution of ap- proximately $400 was approved. Approval for making an aerial photo survey of the borough was given. Cost is estimated to be $600. Council denied variances requested by Frank Zink to allow the building of a town house unit near the corner of South Market avenue and Donegal Springs road. But, the denial sparked a vote to begin work on revising borough zoning regulations.
