Marietta Boro to pay off debt
Marietta Borough Coun-
cil voted Tuesday night to
finish paying off its debt on
a trunk sewer line on the
eastern end of the borough
by cashing in approximate-
ly $15,000 in certificates of
deposit.
The sewer line was
aquired from East Donegal
Township when Marietta
annexed a parcel of land
south of Route 441, east of
the borough.
Council also voted three
to three, with mayor Ber-
nard McDevitt breaking the
tie, to close Hazel Avenue,
from Bridge to Jones
Streets, for a 90-day trial
period.
The avenue borders U.S.
Aluminum Corp., now
owned by American Can
Co.
The street is currently
closed from 8 a.m. to 4
p.m. daily, but during the
trial period it will be closed
entirely.
At the end of the trial
period, if there are no
resident complaints, the
road will be closed per-
manantly.
Council also approved
the lease for Rev. and Mrs.
Walter Ellis, 242 W. Wal-
nut Street, Marietta, to
occupy Zion Church on
Waterford Avenue, for six
months as a church sanctu-
ary.
After six months, a lease
will be signed with the
Marietta Restoration Asso-
ciates to use the building
for 10 years at a rate of
$1.00 per year. All main-
tenance will be assumed by
the association, according
to council.
The resignation of Tho-
mas Spangler, housing of-
ficer, was accepted. Coun-
Shields will present
music demonstration
H. Morrell Shields, dir-
ector of Elementary Instru-
mental Music at Donegal.
announced he will conduct
an instrumental music
demonstration for the bene-
fit of the fourth and fifth
grade students ard their
parents.
The purpose of the dem-
onstration is to gain know-
ledge of the student’s
interest in musical instru-
ments and give the parents
an opportunity to discuss
that interest.
The program will be
conducted at the Riverview
School, Monday, Septem-
ber 27, at 7:30 p.m., and
will include students and
parents of the entire Done-
gal district.
Letter to editor;
Maytown Civic Association
is taken for granted
Dear editor;
Isn’t Maytown Square
pretty? With its geraniums,
new mown lawn and trim-
med bushes— everything
neat, clean and just well
taken care of appearance.
Did you ever wonder who
was responsible for taking
care of it. Someone has to
be. Most people are quick
to notice if it’s been ne-
glected. Even at Christmas
time, we take it for granted
that the lights and nativity
scene will be in place. I
even feel personally let-
down if I notice a bulb
burnt out or one of the
figures blown over.
It’s funny how no one
seems aware of anything
until its gone. This year
Maytown did not have a
summer playground and it
was sorely missed.
Since 1944 there has
been a group of concerned
people who not only take
care of our square, but
were responsible for raising
money for the Legion
building (1946), putting up
street lights in Maytown,
planting trees on Arbor
Day and always supporting
summer playground.
The Maytown Civic
Association has been taken
for granted for a long time.
At one time it had upwards
of 250 members— at the
last meeting prior to this
summer— five people at-
tended.
Now the feeling seems to
be growing that the Civic
Association should be re-
vitilized.
There is much to be done
in Maytown. Not only the
square, which is a bigger
project than many realize.
.Some of us would like to
see a Maytown swimming
pool, possibly at the Legion
Park grounds. How about
all the elm trees at the
elementary school, will we
lose them to Dutch Elm
disease? Why not start
planting some new trees
now. Why should Maytown
be the only ‘“‘town’’ without
a summer playground pro-
gram?
These are just some of
the areas that were dis-
cussed at a meeting of the
Civic Association on Sep-
tember 14. Approximately
40 interested citizens came
to that meeting.
Maytown is a lovely
community. Let’s all help
to keep it that way. Join
the Maytown Civic Associ-
ation NOW and be willing
to share the responsibility
as well as the enjoyment of
living in Maytown. Dues
are $1 a year. Call Hazel
Crankshaw (secretary) 426-
3867) for more information.

the borough secretary.
In other action, the

the lack of a plan to
dispose of surface water.
