Madge Linton poses in front of her prize-winning = placemats.
Madge Linton’s placemats
Mrs. Norman Linton, Sr.,
of 204 Birchland Avenue,
Mount Joy, could set an
interesting table for up to
174 guests if she wanted
to. Each guests would have
his own conversation piece
in the form of a place mat.
And each place mat would
be different.
Madge Linton’s 174
place mats have been col-
lected over the last five
years from all over the U.S.
and from eight foreign
countries. Since they are
the paper kind, from res-
taurants, it is unlikely that
she will use them for a
dinner. She did use them
to win a prize, however.
Madge won a blue rib-
bon at the Optimist 27th
Annual Hobby Show held
at McCaskey High in Lan-
caster last week. Besides
place mats, there were vast
collections of furs, frogs,
salt and pepper shakers,
old tobacco tins, and other
collectibles. One man
brought a grandfather clock
made from a dead tree in
his yard. Madge had the
best place mats.
Her 13-year-old grand-
daughter, Jill, of Landis-
ville, talked Madge into
entering the contest. Jill
herself won a second prize
for her collection of 103
dolls.
Madge also collects pen-
cils.
Sandy Meckley heads Joycee-ettes
by Jacquie McCurdy
The Mount Joy Joycee-
ettes held the March mem-
bership meeting, March 15,
at the Mount Joy Boro
Hall. Guests for the even-

Jean Barninger were wel-
comed into the club as new
members.
The annual installation
banquet will be held April
2, 1977, at the Sherwood
Knoll. Cheryll Hallgren and
Sharon Funk are finalizing
plans for the Club women’s
Tea to be held May 15,
1977, at Hostetter’s Ban-
quet Hall. The Mount Joy
Joycee-ettes will be collect-
ing for the Cancer Drive in
the Mount Joy area March
25 through April 18.
A most rewarding club
project is the 75 plus
banquet to be held June 9,
1977, at Hostetter’'s Ban-
quet Hall. The Joycee-ettes
donated $50.00 to the
Mount Joy Library.
After the business meet-
ing, elections were held for
officers for 1977-78. The
following people were
elected officers for the
1977-78 term: President -
Sandy Meckley; Vice Pres-
ident - Donna Wetzel;
Secretary Jacquie Mc-
Curdy; Treasurer - Kathy
Bower; Director - Sharon

fer; Messiah Home Chair-

der Cleaners, G.C. Mur-
phy’s, Root’s Distributors,
Stehman’s IGA or the
Mount Joy Library, and
deposit them in the ‘‘drop
boxes’’ there for the Used
Book Drive.
If you have a large
quanity of books, or are
unable to come to town,
phone Judy Novinger 653-
2657 or Sharon Roberts
653-103 and arrangements
will be made for a club

and will be put to good
use.
