Wanted: Young men to
work 20 or more hours a
week in hot sun. We
gaurantee you will be
totally exhausted when you
go home. Job-related in-
juries are common. Super-
visers shout insults at
anyone who tries to relax.
No pay. Only enthusiastic
volunteers will be accepted.
Head coach Gayne Deshler keeps the team hustling
every minute during practice.
Long, sweaty struggle
Football
In fact, plenty of young
men are happy to accept
those working conditions.
They are members of the
Donegal High School foot-
ball team, and they are
hard at work training for
the fall season.
‘We've got
group of guys this year,
head coach Gayne Deshler
says. ‘‘All of them are
really motivated.’

for gridiron glory
It takes a lot of motiva-
tion for an athlete to get
through the rigorous
summer training program.
The fans who fill the
bleachers on October Sat-
urday afternoons never see
the biggest sacrifice the
football players make on
their behalf: hours and
days of drills and calis-
thenics.
What keep them going?
““Games and girls,” one
athlete said. °‘'l guess
we're all thinking about
Saturday afternoons, and
the way girls look at a guy
who’s on the football
team.”’
There are more immedi-
ate rewards. Linemen like
to hit and backs like to run.
But public recognition is
also important.
Not every school in Lan-
caster County gives its
team a chance to bask in
glory. At a party, one
county coach recently com-
plained, “A lot of kids
don’t want to do the work
anymore. They say, ‘Why
bother?” Being an athlete
isn’t a big deal anymore.”
Donegal is a small school
and the football team has
suffered through some
losing seasons. but the
team doesn’t feel any lack
of support.
Whether they win or
lose, the Donegal football
squad will enjoy the res-
pect of their friends and
the admiration of their
girlfriends. After all the
work they've done, they
deserve it.
Betty Ford joins local
citizens’ band social
Betty ‘‘First Mama’
Ford couldn’t come to the
Try-County Citizen's Band
Social banquet at the Mari-
etta Boat Club last Satur-
day, but she sent a
personal letter from the
White House.
The letter read:
10-20
The White House
July 23, 1976
Dear Mr. Bailey:
That’s a big 10-4. How
much 1 appreciated your
wonderful letter extending
to me an honorary mem-
bership in the Try-County
C.B. Social, Incorporated.
Although 1 am unable to
have an active role, it is a
pleasure to have my name
listed in this way, and I am
grateful for this generous
expression of friendship. I
have very much enjoyed
this special area of com-
munication and am proud
to be associated with the
fine group of Americans
banded together in a com-
mon network of mutual
support and assistance.
To all of your members
this is ‘‘First Mama’
transmitting my gratitude
and my hopes for a good
day today and a better day
tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Betty Ford
First, Mama missed a
good party. There were 30
dozen ears of corn, a keg of
beer, and about 150
C.B.’ers and their families
down by the rivershore
Saturday afternoon.
After everyone was in-
troduced ( ‘‘This is River
Maytown Fire
Rat. Meet Cinderella.
Etc.”’) the members got
down to serious business,
like playing catch with raw
eggs. A more relaxed,
friendly— and talkative—
group of people would be
hard to find. Even 18
month-old ‘Enough’ (thats
her C.B. handle) babbled
happily at everyone in
sight.
‘““You’re never lonely
when you’ve got a C.B.
set,”” one member said.
Another added, ‘“‘If you
fell like having a beer, all
you have to do is say,
‘Breaker, I'm thirsty.’
Pretty soon five people are
inviting you over to their
place for some brown
bottles.’
For one young man, the
‘““mutual support and
assistance’’ First Mama
Ford mentioned - meant
more than help if his car
breaks down on the high-
way. ‘‘1 was in a lot of
trouble before I joined the
CB Social,” he said. ‘‘After
I joined, there was so much
to do, I was too busy to get
in trouble. One day 1
mentioned to one of the
guys that I hadn’t worked
for 18 months. The next
day, he got me a job.”
The CB Social will hold a
banquet September 11 at
the Forester’s Lodge,
Columbia. Guests will be
State Representative Ken
Brandt, and Marietta Police
Chief Jim Millar. The
theme of the banquet will
be ‘““C.B.’s and the law.”’

The ladies were there
with plenty of items
arranged for sale. The
auctioneer was ready. No
crowds gathered and the
sales was called off.
What went wrong?
Several errors: no need
to point the finger at
anyone, but the Ladies of
Maytown’s Fire Co. Auxili-

donated for sale were taken
to the old Supervisors’
Building on Coffee Goss
Road and stored.

date is set for the sale,
September 2. The ladies
are confident of a success-
ful one for some very good
items will be up for bids.
