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.

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 |.

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.
