Still Burning
Midnight Oil
Hello again, friends. This little
informative news item we've made
a practice of bringing you lately
'has returned us so much favorable
comment lately that we're still at
it. We like to know you see our ad
and our story. We're not complain-ing,
but of course this little extra
effort requires burning the midnight
oil. It requires a little endeavor
when your mind's on the beach.
But then, while Lebanon Valley is
only 1.9§ yer case at A-Deal and
"Coke" .is only 25^ per six bottles,
there's always a little cool comfort
•to make things easier.
Bringing you the peak of quality
at the lowest of costs requires burn-ing
a little midnight oil, too. It's
watching for large volume quality
buying; it's keeping an eye on the
future food market to determine
where your food dollar will travel
the fartherest; it's knowing what
crops are tops, what dairy foods are
farm fresh and rich, what nation-wide
food distributors will give the
consumer the best price breaks in
return for quantity purchases. And
there's where we shine, to say so
ourselves. We've been many years
at it, and when Mrs. Housewife
takes a can down from the shelf
in our complete super mart, she can
rely on that item having been
bought from a dependable source
of quality known to all at a price
that can not be bettered anywhere
in the country... Note the values in
the ad on this" pnge and you'll see
what we mean.
Mrs. Thwack whistle just called
and asked if we'd deliver her order,
which we're glad to do. Her hus-band's
a real worker. In fact, while
she was calling he was out in the
yard pruning a forget-me-not -for
the button-hole of his coveralls.
A model husband, that guy. Holds
the door for his wife when she
carries out the ashes, holds her
gloves when she changes- a tire on
the" old Locomobile, brings her her
pipe and slippers when she comes
home from the quarry. Got to hand
it to Sid Thwackwhistle. Some
judge probably will. Good cus-tomers,
though; hope she keeps her
job.
Say, I didn't notice how verbose
I was getting. The lamp of the
midnight oil is going dim and I
need another ice cube. See you next
week, huh? • —Adv.

$100,000 Bond Issue To Be Floated
For Water Mains in Southern Area
At the Bonrd mooting Tuesday
night, the following report was re-reived
from Village Counsel Martin,
II. Weynuu'lu.
"Iii respon.se to your inquiry as to
whether it Is possible for the Village
to eliminate truck t r a f f i c from any
of its streets, in my opinion a new
type of street would have to be
created such as perhaps a boulevard
with special rules of traffic- applic- '
able to boulevards.
"The elimination of traffic from
streets which have been dedicated
to the village, nnd have no distinc-tive
characteristic would be discrim-inatory
and the law. in my opinion,
restrictions thereon would be unen-forceable."
Mayor Robert L. Doxsee there-upon
announced the matter would
be dropped.
In conjunction with the report.,
Police Chief Peter Elar gave the
results of a survey conducted over
| the Fourth of July week-end con-cerning
