Page 2 - Mount Joy Bulletin June 20, 1973 JUST ONE YEAR LATER ONE YEAR AGO, Little Chiques Creek ran rampant with the waters of Hurricane Agnes and hit an all-time high level. On the south side of the borough's sewage pumping station on East Main street, Baxter Wells, superintendent of the Mount Joy Borough Authority has erected a sign to mark ‘’high tide.” It reads, ‘Flood June 1972, High Water Mark, Mount Joy Borough Authority.” A similar marker has been installed at the water treatment plant north of the borough. Here, Borough Manager George Ulrich stands before the sewer pumping station, showing the height of the flood waters. Mount Joy’s SICO park, a disaster area since Hurricane Agnes, is returning to near normal. The “inner” parking lot has been resurfaced, where needed, tables which are available, have been returned to rebuilt shelters, toilets have been repaired, dykes repaired, grass mowed and the park is almost back to normal. Until now, those wishing to use the park have been ‘on their own” but reservations will be booked at the borough building for use after July 1. Near the confluence of Little and Big Chiques creek, near the Lancaster-Marietta road, workmen have begun to replace the Drager Road bridge. The covered bridge crossed Little Chiques. The new structure is to cost $69,563. — — TPN, Tas Tela Tous, We =\ . ‘SW # vy.’ Wr Ww. we Nf _. ~ = ee set s\ .? i. = Nie”, — / gs ’ I ™ 2 ga PE «aN -rTS — —-— “A forger is a fellow who writes things you can’t bank on.” (Walt Streightiff) NOTICE!

And Clean Up Your Properties NOW ! | BY AUTHORITY OF THE MOUNT JOY BOROUGH COUNCL CLARK BERRIER, MAYOR GETTING WIND OF BAGPIPES Long before bagpipes came to Scotland, they were music to the ears of Persians, Egyp- tians, Greeks and Romans. After originating in Persia, they reached Rome through Egypt and Greece, and were introduced into the British Isles in the [first century B.C. by Caesar’s legions. i 2X ; | i AN 0) I s \ 5; il In When the Roman occupa- tion forces, according to the Teacher’s Scotch Information Centre, were driven from Brit- ain some 400 years later, the instrument fell into disrepute and disuse except for a few wandering minstrels, who were left holding the bag. It wasn’t until the 13th century that the bagpipe e- merged as a popular instru- ment in Scotland. It has since grown to be closely associated with that country. So the next time you're tempted to think of the bag- pipe as native to Scotland, remember that it was at one time the “bag” of other cul- tures, all of which had their flings.
