within the borough he has

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.’ )

Madsen’s Statement
My main interest in
running for Council is the
‘future of Marietta, to keep
the borough basically as it is,
historic. 1 feel that I am
qualified to accept this
responsibility because of the
existing and previous posi-
Mr. Keller stated that
Mount Joy has been a safe
and comfortable place in
which to raise a family, but
emphasized that the leaders
of the Borough will have to
work to keep the crime rate
low, prserve trafffice safety,
and see that the railroad
bridges are reconstructed.
Keller would like to see
pride in home ownership
maintained at a high level in
Mount Joy and belives. this
can best be accomplished by
not overtaxing the owners of
property.
He see the police depart-
ment playing an important
role in public relations for the
borough. He is for a
continuation of a policy of
kindness and helpfulness on
the part of the police, rather
than an emphasis on appre-
hending citizens in minor
violations. The police can
perform a useful service by
their courtesy and kindnes to
travellers passing through
Mount Joy. To travellers
they are representatives of
the borough.

Mount Joy as a friendly
town.
Mr. Keller favors a prgram
of beautification of the town,
including planting of trees
and shrubs.
He believes that in go-
verning, personalities should
be lost sight of in a common
pursuit of the good of the
town. By concentrating on
that common goal ‘we can
assure that Mount Joy will be
a better place in which future
generations can live.

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.
