Page 4 — SUSQUEHANNA BULLETIN Five candidates for Marietta Boro Council state their positions Tames Howell JAMES HOWELL Biographical Information Three years ago James Howell, and family, came to Marietta after a 30 year career in the U. S. Air Force. During that career he served in a variety of responsible positions, from B-17 Squadron leader dur- ing WWII to Command and Senior Staff Colonel in Per- sonnel, Administration and Manpower fields through- out the world. He also at- tended the Air University in Montgomery, Ala. Howell (better known as Jay) was the last Director of Personnel and Base Com- mander at Olmsted A.F.B. Cut this sheet out. Take it with yeu to the polls. Paul A. Mueller, Jr. A native Lancastrian, Paul is an attorney and a partner in the firm of Barley, Snyder, Cooper & Mueller. His back- ground of wide professional experience will be a great advantage to the Court of Common Pleas. His involvement in com munity affairs goes back over 16 years. Presently he's on the Board of Directors of the Lancaster General Hospital, The United Way, and The E aster Seal Society, as well as being Vice-President of the Lan caster Symphony Orchestra. Paul is a member of Trinity Lutheran Church Middletown, and it was there that the Howells, mid- westerners by birth, decided to retire in this area. Their decision had the unanimous approval of their children, too. Daughter Jacqueline is a senior at Donegal High School and will attend Clar- ion State College this fall. Daughter Jennifer is a senior at Michigan State Univer- sity. Another daughter, Jill, will graduate this fall from Weber State College in Ogden, Utah, and their son Jim is working for his master’s degree in geology at the University of Utah. Upon their arrival in Mari- etta, the Howells opened the White Swan Tavern An- tique Shop and entered into community affairs. Jay serv- ed briefly as Borough Hous- ing officer before being ap- pointed to a vacant position on the Borough Council in November, 1974. Howell's Statement - Of the many problems facing our borough during the next few years, the pri- mary one is financial. In this period of increasing costs and shrinking reven- ues, many hard, and often unpopular decisions must be made if we are to survive as a Borough. These de- cisions will require Coun- cilmen who can see tomor- row’s problems as well as There's a long, honorable tradition at stake this May cared enough to cast your ballot . . . cared enough to 20 . . . the tradition of good government for Lancaster County. Because over the years you the voter have shenanigans that have plagued other areas. To vote for Paul, write “Mueller” in slot number 4. Raymond G. Herr Ray has been Chairman of the Lancaster County Commissioners for the past three years and has behind him a record of note worthy service in a wide variety of political posts. Presently he serves on the Gover nor’s Justice Commission, the Lancaster Area Transportation Study, and the Mental Health/Mental Retardation Board He is also a charter member of the Willow Street Lions Club. Ray was graduated from West Lampeter High School and is a member of the Lititz Moravian Church today’s, and can differenti- ate between critical needs and those which might be deserving, but ones the Bor- ough simply cannot afford. I believe that the Restor- ation and reservation acti- vities that began in the mid- 60’s in Marietta are positive assets for the Borough. Re- storation has brought many fine, new citizens to Mari- etta as well as much needed “new money,” but most importantly, it has changed slum and potential slum = dwellings into nice homes. This, in turn, has increased the Borough tax base, with- out raising taxes, and has Za made Marietta a finer place in which to work and live. The preservation of our fine old buildings which are a tangible reminder of our proud heritage, should be continued. Lastly, your Borough Council meets the second Tuesday of each month. It needs your participation, both as an observer and active contributor. OLIVER C. OVERLANDER, II Biographical Information Mr. Overlander, 27, was born in York, Pa.

Through the years he has become a well-known and highly respected member of the local governmental body Active in many com munity organizations such as the Lititz Chamber of Commerce, the American Legion, B P.O. Elks, Masons, Shriners, he still finds time to serve as Director of Heritage Center of Lancaster County Director of Soil Conservation, and Director of Office of Aging.

He was also very active in the Borough’s behalf during Jacob L. Brown A familiar figure in his native Lancaster County, Jake has spent 23 years working on political committees and campaigns. Presently he volunteers his services as a Committeeman and an Area Chairman. He has always been extremely active in com- munity organizations, and now serves on the Board of Directors of the Manheim Lions Club. Jake belongs to the Zion Lutheran Church.

His hobbies include fishing, camping, gardening, and var- ious outdoor sports. Overlander’s Statement - I have learned a great deal about local government since my appointment to Borough Council. I believe many of Marietta’s problems are a result of poor plann- ing in past years. Marietta has improved a great deal since the sewage system was installed and the collection of trash was es- tablished, thus eliminating burning within the Borough limits. Our present zoning ordinance was a big move in the right direction as far as planning ahead. But Marietta can only improve if its leaders are capable of dealing with each problem with an open mind. People have moved into town and preserved many of Marietta’s old homes dat- ing back to the eighteen hundreds, and others have constructed new homes within the Borough. Both these movements are good because the old homes are |. preserved and | being well our limited building lots are being utilized with new construction. I feel tax payers deserve more than they are getting at the present time from their elected officials. We Kenneth L. Reighard College Ken's experience as Mayor of Elizabeth- town, as well as his work as Committeeman and as a member of the Advisory Com- mittee, gives him an exceedingly relevant background for the office of Sheriff. He has been closely associated with many community organizations over the past 15 years, including the Elizabethtown Chamber of Commerce, Loyal Order of Moose, American Legion, Elizabethtown Lodge #682 F & AM, Lancaster Lodge of Perfection. Ken is a graduate of Eliza- bethtown High School and Elizabethtown have a good police force, but there is still room for improvement. Ordinances that we now have should be enforced more often to help clean up the town. Many of our streets leave something to be desired. If re-elected I can only promise that I would con- tinue to work for a better community for each and every citizen within the various other locations throughout the community. ii Robert E.
