Page 2 - Mount Joy Bulletin July 31, 1974 WHEAT BY THE TRUCKLOAD is coming to harvest. Here, Ralph Yeagley, Manheim R4, gives a quick inspection of a handful of grain as it spills out of a 750-bushel truckload at Spangler’s Mill. The load came from near Quakertown. Price the day of delivery was a little below $4, down from the top of $4.02, paid by the local mill this season, to date. Propose New Roads In E. Donegal Twp. Three stretches of high- way — two arterial in nature — are proposed for East Donegal Township sometime in the future, according to a proposed comprehensive planning report to be made public Tuesday, Aug. 13. Two — one major and the other secondary — are in the Mount Joy area. One is the renewal of the previous proposal which would provide a bypass to the east of Mount Joy bet- ween Marietta and Road 230. Ultimately, the road would connect to the new four-lane expressway, Road 283. In general, the highway as one traveled from the south, would head northeasterly at a point between Donegal high school and the north end of Long Lane.

It would cross Little Chiques creek about a mile south of Mount Joy and follow along the east bluff of the creek to Road 230. Total new construction of this major roadway would be approximately 21, miles. The other local through- fare, of a secondary nature, would be between South Angle Street (Union School road) eastward to the Marietta Pike. It would intersect Angle Street near the Red Rose Dairy Bar and Marietta near, or at, School Lane, which recently has been rough graded from Marietta to Pinkerton. That distance would be a little more than 3000 feet. The third road building - proposal is in the Western part of the township. Another secondary road, it would run north from the Vinegar Ferry road to a point nearly .a mile north of Maytown on the Maytown- Elizabethtown road. The township Planning Commission, composed of Jefferson S. Hertzler, Graver T. Mackinson, Dale C. White, John H. Brown, Lester P. Eshelman, Francis L. Ferguson, Wilbur H. Fuhrman, David M. Garber and John G. Hart, will present its comprehensive plan officially at a public meeting to be held at 8 P.M., Tuesday, August 13, at Donegal high school. The roadway proposals are only part of the plan, which is tied with a proposed . new zoning ordinance. For And About Teenagers THIS WEEK’S LETTER: I am | a young lady who is nearly 17 years old. I have been going with this one guy for nearly eight months. When we went out on our first date we started going’ steady. I cared a lot about him, and I still do. I work on week- ends, all except Sunday, and sometimes on week nights. I caught him out with another girl after I got out of work one night. That's when we started fighting. After a while he begged me to take him back, so I did. After I took him back, he started treat- ing me like a dog. I could only take so much of this, now I'm trying to forget him. I did love him, though, and that’s the only reason I went “all the way” with him right before all our fighting and troubles began. He is seven- teen. OUR REPLY: We think that deep down you really realize that this boy just used you. What you thought of as love, he thought of just as sex. Now that he has finished using you, he’s out looking for someone new. You fell for one of the oldest tricks when he told you, “If you really love me, you'll . . .” You now know how false his love was for you, Don’t make the same mistake again. a | Price Of Gold At London's Rothschild bank- ing house, agents of five British banking concerns meet to assess daily supply and demand and to set the free-market price of gold. A wave of a little Union Jack signals fresh orders affecting prices. Decimal Currency Several nations have adopted decimal currency systems and now issue dollars, but Liberia is the only one to use exactly the same coin denominations as the United States. Founded by freed American slaves in 1882, Liberia has many of its coins struck by the U.S. Mint, and United States currency circulates freely in the African country. ; Over The Back Fence by Max Smith The 1974 Ag Progress Days will be held at the Bloom- sburg Fair Grounds on August 28 and 29; many local folks will recall the ’73 event was held at Hershey Farms during last summer’s hottest weather. This year’s event will not only feature various crop variety plots and harvesting demonstrations but will have some special evening programs for non- farm people. A brochure is available at our Extension Office giving full details. These events have special programs for all members of the family and local folks are urged to spend a day at Bloomsburg to keep current with modern farming and home-making practices. Many phone calls in the past week reflect a heavy infestation of bagworms now working on all kinds of trees. These worms will grow in size and their appetites will also increase. The old bags from last year are the source of eggs for the current crop of worms; these eggs hatch during June and soon develop into small worms inside of a small bag; as the summer goes along the worms feed upon foliage and get larger. The best time to kill them with chemicals is mid to late June when they are small; however, at this time property owners are urged to spray with two applications a week apart with either Sevin, Diazinon, or Cygon; thorough soaking of the bags and nearby foliage is important. Also, it is strongly advised for the owners to pick all of the bags from the twigs this summer and burn them or bury them 8 to 12 inches into the earth. By destroying the present bag in which there is a small worm, there should be fewer adults this winter to lay eggs for next year. Proper timing of spraying and the destruction of the maximum number of bags should give control. During the hot summer months the farm pond becomes a very popular spot to beat the heat. Proper pond safety is needed if we are to prevent serious accidents in the pond. Owners should provide some supervision among swimmers to be sure safety measures are recognized. Rescue equip- ment such as a wooden ladder, an inflated inner- tube, a wooden raft, or anything that can be used to help a person in trouble in . deep water should be on the pond bank. No one should be permitted to swim along because of the danger of sudden cramps or illness. The pond owner should see that this equipment is handy and ‘that swimmers know how to use it. Insurance coverage should be carried by the pond owners against any liability claims. We are aware of the in- creasing number of pleasure horses in the county. Hor- seback riders should be careful about damaging crops or riding on the property of others without permission. Hoofprints in a lawn or in a field crop could be a sore point with the landowners. In the urban or the sub-urban areas, riders should keep their horses from stepping on lawns or other well-groomed property. We have heard of riders who take the liberty of riding over parts of a farm without any permission; this ic more true during the fall and winter months than during the summer; however, riders are trespassing unless they obtain permission. During snow cover in the winter, we get complaints about snowmobiles running over the countryside without permission; horseback riders do not have the right to ride on the land of others without permission. When riding use good common sense and be courteous to the rights and property of others. IMPORTANT PHONE NUMBER Effective August 1, the telephone number for ob- taining ambulance service from the Friendship Fire Company will be 653-2001. The announcement, made last week by the fire company’s Ambulance Committee, is of special im- portance to doctors, industries and schools. Whenever possible, the Ambulance Committee has asked that routine transports be scheduled 24 hours in advance. : National Central's Free Checking is better.
