Donegal High School has
again taken a large number
of the prizes at the senior
high school division of the
Lancaster Science and En-
gineering Fair, held at
McCaskey High School last
week.
Donegal students won the
top three places in biology,
second and third place in
chemistry, and first and
second place in earth
science.
Three Donegal girls took
the first three prizes in
biology at the fair. Cheryl
Felty won first place with

mental factors could cause
dormancy in seeds. Cheryl

daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Wilbur Fuhrman, Marietta,
R.D. 1.
The second place prize
went to Donegal sophomore
Becky Ruhl, daughter of
Mrs. Charles Ruhl, Pinker-
ton Road, Mount Joy. Her
experiment was called
‘‘Mineral-Pigment Relation-
ships in Coleus.’’ The third
place prize in biology went
to yet another Donegal girl,
Eileen Penyak. Her project
was ‘‘Effects of Ultra-violet
Radiation on Bacteria-Anti-
biotic Relationships.” Ei-
leen is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John Penyak, 153
Fairview Ave., Marietta.
In the earth science
section Donegal’s Jeff Zim-
merman won first place with
his project entitled ‘‘Ethy-
lene: An Air Pollutant.’ Jeff
was the first student to win
in this new science fair
category. He pointed out
that air pollution, especially
ethylene pollution is very
harmful to plants, causing
such things as inhibited
stem growth, increased
stem diameter, and other
losses of normal growth. He
found that these toxic
substances have a greater
impact in darkness than in
light. Jeff is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Earl Zimmerman
Mount Joy, R.D. 2 and is a
senior.
Steve Shope, a Donegal
senior took second place in
the earth science division.
His project was called

MJ boro auth. to use value engr.
Mount Joy Boro Authority
has decided to use value
engineering to help cut costs
on their sewer treatment
plant project.
The cost will be approxi-
mately $16,000.00 and is
75% refundable from feder-
al funding. Vartan Associ-
ates, Harrisburg, were
awarded the contract.
The authority expects no
delay in the project will be
caused by value engineer-
ing.
In other business at the
April 6 meeting, the author-
ity gave permission to the
borough manager, Joseph
Bateman, to send a letter to
the National Standard Co.
advising that company to
not discharge untreated
chemicals into the sewerage
system. rhe authority has
found a high content of the
chemicals recently and said
the amount is not allowable.
The National Standard has
been told before the chem-
icals should not be dis-
charged into the system,
The borough manager fears
an overdose of the chemicals
into the system could shut
down the treatment plant for
some time.
Bids for construction of an
earth lagoon and related
work were received and the
contract was awarded to
B.R. Krieder and Son,
Manheim. The firm’s bid of
$9,390.00 was the lowest bid
received. There were six
bidders.
Investment banker Gor-
don Walker, of Butcher-
Singer of Philadelphia, in-
formed the authority on
bond issues for the water
and sewer projects planned
by the borough, gave the
authority an update on their
project and asked for in-
formation from the engin-
eers on timing schedules.
