Bicentennial Ball in Mount Joy
Ignoring traffic signs, Paul Revere Gingrich makes his historic ride through Mount Joy.
Ringing his Bell, he alerted the citizenry to coming bicentennial activities. The people of
Mount Joy responded by donning their knee breeches and bustles in time for the
Bicentennial and Anniversary Ball. See photos of the Ball on pages 10 and 11.
Mount Joy Council approves developments,
grants Graybill lease, plans basin, parking lot
Mount Joy Boro Council
met for five hours Monday
night.
They approved the Wit-
mer-McCoy plan for deve-
lopment near the Cross-
roads Church, specifying
what types of businesses
will be permitted.
Mrs. Kenneth Depoe
spoke for residents object-
ing to the plan. Neither the
builders nor the residents
were completely satisfied
with the approved compro-
mise.
Council also approved a
plan for David G. Heisey to
build six housing units on a
plot along Donegal Springs
Road. Originally, Heisey
had received permission to
build ten units.
Councilman Ammon
Smith showed preliminary
plans for the Crossroads
Darinage Basin, which could
be ready for bids in 90 days.
It might cost $ 90,000.
A moratorium on building
in the basin area was lifted,
but developers must send a
letter of intent and provide a
bond for their share of cost
of the basin, before receiv-
ing a building permit.
Council voted to lease the
house on Manheim Street to
the Graybills who live there,
after agreements on upkeep
have been reached. The
boro will install a bathroom,
water heater, and septic
system. The Graybills have
themselves already installed
central heating.
Approval was granted for
laying out a parking lot on
Apple Tree Alley. Cost will
be $5000, to be paid for
eventually by parking fees.
Council filed their intent
on guaranteeing the Boro
Authority’s water revenue
bonds, in the amount of
$2,800,000.
Mayor Gingrich asked
- that citizens report to police
any information they have
on vandalism to the barri-
cades at Terrace Avenue
and Angle Street. The
barricades were erected to
protect children sledding.
He pointed out that inform-
ation might save a child’s
life.

Eugene Funk carries on winning
tradition of Donegal wrestling
When wrestling coach
Eugene Funk took over the
Donegal High wrestling
team this fall, nobody was
predicting a winning sea-
son.
Of last year’s champion-
ship team, only 3 starters
were still at Donegal. The
sudden resignation of head
coach Walt Price had
created a leadership vacuum
that would be hard to fill.
In spite of those hand-
icaps, the wrestlers have
been undefeated in their
section all season.
Their only competition for
the title is unbeaten Ann-
ville-Cleona.
As we go to press Tues-
day night, the decisive
match between Indians and
Dutchmen is getting under-
way.
Whether or not the
Indians win that match, the
Donegal wrestlers have had
a great year.
Coach Funk is quick to
thank the man he replaced
for the wrestler’s success.
‘“We’ve worked hard for 8
years,”” coach Funk says.
*“‘Coach Price put in so much
time and effort, and it’s just
starting to pay off.”
For years, the varsity
wrestling coaches have
spent their Saturday after-
noons teaching grade-school
boys to wrestle.
The emphasis at those
Saturday sessions is on
calesthenics and practice.
Coach Funk says, ‘‘We
don’t like to compete too
much. Competition destroys
that little kid, especially if
Coach Gene Funk
IN
he gets put on his back too
much.”’
When the kids are ready
to compete, they win. Last
week, for example, the Jr.
High Team upset Manheim
Township 49-12.
Varsity wrestlers like Joe
Meszaros and George Mohr
have been involved in the
Donegal wrestling program

Open House at Mt. Joy Vo-Tech
welcomes large throng of visitors
Parents and prospective students crowded into Mt. Joy Vo-tech on Open House night last
weekend. The size of the crowd emphasized vo-tech education’s growing popularity.
The narrow hallways looked like Times Square sidewalks. There was more breathing room
in the big classrooms, where visitors got inside views of everything from truck engines to
greenhouses.
