About 40 percent of the

Schock initiated many years

BULLETIN
MOUNT JOY'S ONLY NEWSPAPER
BOBBY AND ROSE GIBBS, internationally-known elephant trainers, present one of the
big acts with the Lewis Brothers circus, coming to Mount Joy on Friday, Sept. 6, with
performances at 6 and 8 p.m., at the Borough Park. The circus is sponsored by the Mount
Joy Rotary Club.
Circus Popularity
Part of Nostalgic Mood
Just as there is no ex-
plaining America’s taste in
entertainment, there is,
apparently, no explaining
the mounting popularity of
circuses!
Some attribute the
reviving interest in the
circus to the nostalgic mood
of the country as they look
for good things of the past to
bring meaning to their lives
and to their country.
The circus, always, has
had universal appeal, from
the time of the Romans to the
present day. It is one form of
entertainment that never
has been censored but has
been a family entertainment
for Pop, Mom and all the
kids and grandchildren.
Cecil B. DeMille, famed
Hollywood producer, said
that ‘‘One need only to ob-
serve a circus audience ...
Nothing perhaps so much as
the circus evokes a fun-
damental simplicity in
human nature. There is no
age for a circus spectator.
Boys of 7 to 70, young men
with open shirts and sleeves
rolled up, little boys and girls
— all with the same rapt
fascination, all caught up in
the magic of the circus world
of bands, clowns and
aerialists.”
Lewis Brothers circus is
coming to Mount Joy,
Friday, Sept. 6, sponsored by
the Mount Joy Rotary club.
Performances at the
Borough Park will be at 6
and 8 p.m.

Deshler’s third season as

while he is not vibrating with

A year ago the club won

But, Deshler will have
considerable experience

A strong plea to motorists to be especially careful
