by Sharon Funk The 1977 Mount Joy Sweetheart King & Queen were crowned on Saturday, February 12, at the St. Mark’s Methodist Church fellowship hall. The King, Chad Ober, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ken Ober, 621 Water Street, Mount Joy and the Queen, Tina Winsett, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Winsett, 114 East Main Street, Mount Joy. Tina and Chad each received a $25 savings bond and flowers, compliments of the Mount Joy Joycee-ettes. First runner-up to the King was Travis Rinehart, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray- mond Rinehart, 130 North High Street, Mount Joy. Second runner-up, Kyle McCarty, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard McCarty, Jr., 129 New Haven Street, Mount Joy. First runner-up to the Queen was Shannon Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Smith, 31 New Haven Street, Mount Joy. Second runner-up, Eliza- beth Nagle, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Nagle, 1 South Market Street, Mount Joy. Each runner-up was presented a congratulatory gift. Mrs. Dorcas Knorr, Donegal School nurse, was present to accept a check for $365 to be donated to the Donegal Dental Clinic. The money was raised when 30 pictures of local children were placed in Mount Joy businesses to elect the 1977 Sweetheart Baby King and Queen by penny-a-vote. The Dental Clinic treated 76 patients and made 104 visits last year, Mrs. Knorr said. The Joycee-ettes are the largest contributors to the clinic. They have given $2,790 since 1968. The Mount Joy Joycee- ettes, sponsors of the con- test, wish to thank the candidates, their parents, and those who helped to make this year’s contest a success. Chairmen for this event were Sharon Funk and Deb Newcomer. Assisting them were Harriet Ney and LaVon Harnish.

James Miley grew up in Marietta, but he now makes his home in Denver. To keep in touch with events back home, he sub- scribes to the Susquehanna Times. A couple weeks ago, his paper was hand- delivered by an old neigh- bor, Norman Ney. Mr. Ney, it seems, had also moved to Denver, and he also subscribes to our newspaper. A couple of weeks ago, Norman Ney got two newspapers in the mail. (As we mentioned already, they were a bit sticky that week.) When he pried the two newspapers apart, Mr. Ney was sur- prised to see that the extra Susquehanna Times was addressed to James Miley. That is how Norman Ney discovered that James Miley was still his neigh- bor. Norman and his wife, the former Nan Sargen, delivered the paper to James Miley’s door, and the three of them enjoyed a long chat about the good old days in Marietta. We learned this story from James Miley’s aunt, Bess Miley.
