Joy off Rt. 230 By-Pass) SAT., MAY 17 THE VARITONES Sunaay Dinnérs § 12NOONto9 P.M. { Reservation Ph. 898-8451 Forno He sees this recent change as having a great impact on the town, requiring some control of the new development. The zoning ordinance of the borough was rewritten and recently adopted to regulate the use of undeve- loped land. Groff feels that the new ordinance will ‘insure that future develop- ment will come in an orderly fashion and will not be a burden to the people who ..have lived here all their lives.’ Groff thinks that Mount’ Joy is perhaps maintaining fire and police organizations which are overly large. Certainly, he feels that the fire companies should be compensated for their ser- vice to areas outside the borough. As an alternative to maintaining a large police force the borough should consider participating in forming - a regional police force. : Mr. Groff is a supporter of the Council of Government (COG), which is a getting-to- gether of the officials of Marietta, Mount Joy, East Donegal, and Mount. Joy townships. He says, ‘They all have their impact on us, and we have our impact on them.’ ) ; Harold K. Keller HAROLD K.

Recreation facilities are important not only for the youth but also adults. Parks, swimming pool, new tennis Brilliant Headlight and New 6-WAY DIAL-A-NAP® $109.95 Model 2042 in Marietta courts are things that every town should have. There is no reason why Marietta can not have a public park with the facilities we can all enjoy. Because of my athletic interest and ability 1 would be able to organize such recreational activities. Building developments should be discouraged. There enough ultra suburbs. Marietta’s location is excel- lent in a way that all comforts of modern living are close enough without it being in the boro itself. We should continue working with the existing structures rather than developing new ones which take away the unique quality of the borough. Council isn’t based on one’s individual ideas, but "to bring it every person involved on council and in the town itself. The people in the town and members of Council should work together. If a person feels something should be changed or has a new idea that could help the borough, it is his or her responsibility to Council’s attention, instead of con- stantly complaining about it. It is most important that everyone involved in Mariet- ta should work together. YOUNDT’S MEAT MARKET 119 E. Market St., Marietta — 426-1245 OPEN Mon.
