Mrs. Dorcas Knorr,

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.

DID YOU HEAR...
The Susquehanna Times
was too sticky last week.
As a result, two men from
Marietta met in Denver,
Colorado.
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.
