D-Lites delight coaches
—out of 128, only 3 fail: “Better than Catholic High!”
Football Boosters on hand for the Switching were, left to right, (front) Marlin Ney,
Bob Smith, Ben Gainer, and Mike Ross; back row, Ron Cless, Gerald Ney, John
Farmer, and president Edgar Jones. Available light was used for the photo.
Last Wednesday the new
football lights at DHS were
turned on for the first time,
and the untried system
worked rather well: out of
128 lights, only 3 didn’t
work.
Donegal High coaches
who were on hand for the
switch-throwing were uni-
formly pleased with the
results of the last year’s
volunteer work. ‘‘This is
better than Catholic High!”’
exclaimed one, while others
remarked on the lack of
shadows: ‘‘I thought the
lights weren’t aligned at
first, but it’s only the
colors in the grass.”
The new lights are not
only well-aimed but very
bright. (The accompanying
photo was taken without a
flash unit.) Each of the 128
wide-angle flood lights
draws 1500 watts.
Project D-Lites, conduct-
ed by the Donegal Football
Booster Club, got started a
year ago when the School
Board gave the go-ahead.
About twenty-five members
of the Booster Club worked
on the light system, on a
volunteer basis. They de-
signed and built every part
of it. Working in cold,
heat, and darkness, they
saved about $55,000 in
labor costs, spending only
$14,000 on poles, bulbs,
wiring, and a switch box.
Electrical work was made
easier by the fact that some
members of the Football
Booster Club are PP&L
linemen.
“The guys did a really
outstanding job,” said
head coach Gayne Deshler.
He noted that all the wiring
is buried, unlike some
other school fields that
resemble the result of a
tornado at a kite party.
Coach Gene Funk stated,
“It’s hard to say anything
commendable enough
about these lights.”
Project D-Lites has yet to
turn on the tennis court,
baseball, and track lights.
When that’s done, they
don’t plan to sit back and
relax. Instead, they hope to
build rest rooms and stor-
age facilities at the field.
Bruce Sutter
selected for All-Star game
Bruce Sutter of Mount
Joy, the star relief pitcher
with the Chicago Cubs,
played in the All-Star game
at Yankee Stadium last
night.
Bruce was picked last
week by Cubs manager
Sparky Anderson.
To date Bruce has won
five, and lost one, and
saved 23 games. He has
the top ERA (1.15) in the
combined leagues, and has

Cubs games.

Those who can, do
Want to preserve those
succulent rutabagas? How
about your bumper crop of
cumgquats?
Vegetables you harvest
or buy now need not be
stuffed into your gullet lest
they rot: you can can them.
You don’t have the facili-
ties and expertise? No
matter, now that Marietta
has one of the two canning
centers in the State.
Last week the spacious
and well-appointed center
opened in, the basement of
the Marietta Borough
building, after a year and a
half of construction. It’s
filled with stainless steel
equipment, work space,
and charming helpers,
all courtesy of the Federal
CETA program.
The Marietta site was
chosen because the town
officials were eager to help,
and because the building,
at Market and New Haven
Streets, already had the
necessary three-phase elec-
trical hookups.
To change the basement
into a food preparation
center, the CETA workers
had to build two walls, as
well as clean, paint, and
install equipment.
Although not officially
opened, you can make
appointments to can by
calling 426-2623 two days
in advance. Hours are 9:00
to 5:00 Monday, Wednes-
day, and Friday, and 9:00
to 6:45 on Tuesday and
Thursday. Fees are S cents
per pint, 10 cents per
quart, and 7 cents for two
jelly jars. Sixteen quarts is
the maximum amount you
may process at one time.
There are two shifts of
helpers, each consisting of
three people. They can
answer questions and assist
in canning.
FIFTEEN CENTS
Karen DeVitry helps the first canner at the center, right. The staff is on page 3.
—can, that is, at the new Marietta centei
Like a restaurant, the
center doesn’t allow bare
feet or lack of shirt.
Children under 12 should
not be brought, but day
care is available. If you are
below the U.S. Poverty
Level, you may can for
free.
Come October, canning
will cease and classes will
be held instead.
The person in charge is
Maxine Kress, who has a
degree in Nutrition from
Penn State. Christine
Beaston is the assistant
supervisor.
Other organisations and
persons responsible for the
center are:Community Ac-
tion Program, the Man-
power Consortium, Dept. of
Agriculture (PA), Dept. of
Community Affairs, Repre-
sentative Ken Brandt,
Ashara Lodge #398 F and
AM, and Phyllis Mowrer.
