Re-Usit Shop opens in Mount J oy
Mrs. Mildred Steffy is shown unpacking gift items (from the Phillipines and Taiwan) in the
newly-opened ‘‘Re-Usit Shop’’ at SO E. Main Street, Mount Joy. The shop, run by volunteer
women for the Mennonite Central Committee, sells hand-made gift items from all over the
world, and also thrift items such as clothing, which are obtained by donation. Proceeds go
to the M.C.C. If you have any used clothing or household utensils you don’t want, bring
them to the Re-Usit Shop. The store was ‘‘a real mess,’’ according to Mrs. Steffy, when the
volunteers began fixing it up for business. They contracted with a retired carpenter who
worked for low wages and charged cost for materials. Work included repairing plaster,
painting, and putting in shelves, counters, and panelling. It looks quite nice now, and you
might find a pair of good shorts for S0 cents, as the Times reporter did (incidentally, we
were the first customer). Hours are from 9 to S Monday thru Saturday, except Friday, when
the Re-Usit Shop stays open till 9 at night.

Edgar is handing Mimi a check for the $44.02 which he collected in a jar in his store in
Marietta. The money will go to help pay the expenses of Stan’s trips around the
country to the various track meets he attended, which were financed in part by the
DHS Booster Club. Mimi is the president of the Booster Club.
Stan Curry is retired for summer
Stan Curry, the Donegal
Runner who made head-
lines for five weeks
straight, is done running
for the summer. His coach
at DHS, Rudy Milovanovic,
advised him to ‘take it
easy’ for the rest of the
summer, according to Stan.
Stan was scheduled to go
to Gettysburg for a meet
this last weekend, but
canceled it.
He will begin running
again next year when he
goes to Hagerstown Col-
lege.
. Stan has been
the country in the last
month, has been in the
news, and has had the rapt
attention of the community
—he received an ovation at
his graduation, and the
DHS bulletin board - along
Rt. 141 wishes him good
all over
luck. Have success and
fame influenced him?
Apparently not. When
the Times asked him ‘‘how
it feels to be a big star,”
Stan quickly replied, “I'm
not a big star, I'm just an
ordinary guy.”’
“When I started out this
year, | wanted to be State
champ,’”’ Stan said. ‘‘I’
didn’t really expect to go
as far as I did.”
Stan attributes much of
his running prowess to two
men: coach Milovanovic,
and his father. ‘‘Rudy
Milovanovic was the big-
gest physical influence on
my running,”’ says Stan,

Ted Hershey
—Is accepted at prestigious schoo
Ted Hershey, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Amos D. Her-
shey, 43 Springville Road,
Mount Joy, has been ac-
cepted for a Summer Pro-
gram at the School of
Pennsylvania Ballet in
Philadelphia, starting Jul
H, :
Hershey also has been
accepted to study with the
Toronto Summer School in
Dance, Toronto, Canada,
under the direction of
Diana Jablokova-Vorps,
from July 4-8.
A 1976 graduate of
Donegal High School, Her-
shey is currently a student
of the Eleanor Hildebrandt
Dance Studio, Mount Joy.
‘and my father was the
greatest mental influence.”
Stan says of coach Mil-
ovanovic, ‘‘Rudy has the
ability to teach top runners
—he knows alot—but I
guess he’s happy teaching
high school.”
Of the many places he
travelled to, Stan liked
California the best. “‘It’s
nice and sunny and hot out
there,” he told us. The
Sacramento meet was very
well organized, and the
runners there got free
transportation and enter-
tainment; in particular, a
visit to San Francisco. They
also were given free travel
bags and t-shirts to com-
memorate their stay. Atlan-
ta was ‘‘O.K.”” and Knox-
ville was not so O.K. with
Stan. He found the Tenne-
see meet disorganized, and
had trouble finding his way
around the city.
Stan is continuing to
work out over the summer,
under Rudy’s direction,
and has a summer job at
New Standard in Mount
Joy.
