It’s not ‘“fup’” to be in
business anymore!

There may be a few - here
and there - who would not
agree. But, a lot of people
who are dealing with the
public these days are
mentioning more and more
frequently about the bad
manners and the general
irritability of customers and
suppliers.
tf
There probably is not a
service station operator in
America these days who has
not had graphic demon-
strations of the tempers
American motorists can
display.

One service station operator in
the area revealed to the Bulletin
that an irate customer who
wanted ‘“more’’ gasoline refused
to move his car off the drive and
he and his children occupied the
car for an hour.

Finally, he left in high
dudgeon. And, we might add,
just ahead of the police, who
had been called as a last
resort by the operator.

One manager said that
even though he gets to the
station early - long before
daylight - there are people in
line and ready to give him a
bad time even “before I can
get the lights turned on.”

Personal Development Theme
Used For B.P.W. Meeting
“Personal development”
was the theme of the
February meeting of the
Mount Joy Business and
Professional Women’s Club
meeting, held recently.
Members had been asked
to take something which
each had made or con-
structed or done as a hobby.
Each item was identified and
an explanation of the project
was given.
The personal development
committee was in charge.
Mrs. James Heilig is
chairman and other mem-
bers of the committee in-
clude Mrs. Richard Divet,
Mrs. Barry Etsell, Mrs.
Edward Grimsey, Miss
Peggy Keller, Mrs. Henry
Lenhart and Mrs. Wilmer
Shoop.
Mrs. Gerald Sheetz,
president, conducted the
business meeting and was
presented an apron which
had been autographed by
each member of the club.
Mrs. Donald Drenner,
chairman of the BPW
Foundation committee, had
then embroidered each
name to fashion the apron in
green and gold, the BPW
colors.
Miss Gloria Longenecker,
a senior at Donegal high
school, presented several
vocal selections and was
accompanied by Miss
Sharon Zimmerman. Julie
Mezaros, Marietta, girl-of-
the month from Donegal
high school, and her mother,
Mrs. Frank Mezaros was
introduced by Mrs. Barry
Etsell.
Members contributed $112
to the Foundation, $25 of
which was in memory of a

‘Ob This and That’
by the editor's wife
How quickly one forgets!
Or does one ever really
forget?
Both of these thoughts
went through our minds this
week end as we kept our
youngest grandson for two
days.
Seven-months-old Tommy
is a charmer! His reddish
hair, blue, blue eyes, in-
fectious grin, and his
curiosity about, and interest
in, everything in his world,
makes him a constant joy to
have around!
It had been 22 years since
there had been a baby that
age living at our house, so we
had really forgotten all the
things that taking care of a
baby entails. One does forget
the bottles, the cereal, the
fruits, the little suits, shirts,
socks, shoes, blankets,
sweaters and caps.
One forgets how many
things it takes to keep a baby
occupied during his waking
hours — stuffed toys, rubber
toys, plastic rattles, teething
rings, and a host of everyday
items from the household,
like plastic vitamin bottles
with little red pills dancing
around inside and making a
wonderful noise!
Then there were brushes
from the cutlery drawer,
flowered fiberglass popcorn
bowls, bright-colored
shampoo bottles, talcum
powder cans, etc., etc., etc.

Offer $400 Regard For Lead
To Arrest Of Deer Slaying
A large, 66-year-old,
whitetail buck deer, which
was a feature attraction of
the roadside menagerie at
the Ridge Run Camp Sites,
located at Elizabethtown,
RD 1, was slain -- and the
carcass stolen -- sometime
during the night of February
10 & 11, according to the
owner and manager, James
Hostetter.
Many local sportsmen, as
well as other citizens, were
aroused and angered by this
senseless act, and as a
result: the Conewago Rod &
Gun Club, the Milton Grove
Sportsmen’s Club, the Mount
Joy Sportsmen’s Club and
the Trop Gun Shop, all of the
Elizabethtown-Mount Joy
area, each have pledged a
sum of $100 — a total of $400
as a reward for information
leading to the arrest and
conviction of the guilty
persons.
Any persons having such
information are requested to
