It was built in 1860 by Henry Watts, founder of the Watts Furnace Co. The stone of its walls was imported from Austria, to which Watts was ambassa- dor under President Andrew Johnson. The ivy which climbs the walls was brought from Kenilworth Castle, England, by Watts’ son Ethelbert. The grounds contain flower beds and exotic trees in variety, a swim- ming pool, and tennis courts. The contents of the house will be auctioned also. April 26, 1978 Mount Joy feminist Carol Eveschild wins award for writing radio spots on women Carol Eveschild in her Mving room at 537 Martin Avenue, Mount Joy Carol Eveschild, of S37 Martin Avenue in Mount Joy, is a dedicated feminist and a would-be profession- al radio broadcaster. She has already bten a radio spot writer, and recently won a prize for her work at WDDL last year. She was one of 37 women in the state, and five in the county, who won awards from the Central Pennsylvania chapter of WICI, Women In Commun- ications, Inc. (Formerly Theta Sigma Phi). Carol got an honorable mention for the ‘‘Herstory’’ series of 60 and 90-second spots about women. The spots were dis- continued early this year because the announcer who had been reading them quit at WDDL. Carol may be writing more next fall for WNCE, which is WDDL’s sister station on the FM band. ‘““‘Herstory’’ is of course a pun on ‘‘history,” a title Carol did not invent. Not all the women she wrote about were historical, how- ever: ‘‘l started off writing about local women,’’ Carol explains. ‘‘Many of them were my friends at first. Most of my friends are feminists, and feminists tend to be interesting people.” Carol picked women from a wide range of occupations and ages. She once wrote about Becky Ruhl when Becky was Girl of the Month at Donegal High School. Carol is a relative new- comer to Mount Joy. She has lived all over the country: Connecticut, State College, New York, South Carolina. She has been in Mount Joy since last August. Carol is a friend of most local feminists, and was part of the controversial group that forced the ¢sale of WGAL last year, the Feminist Media Rights coalition. Joyce Reimherr-Perry of Marietta was also a member. Unlike Joyce, who chose to combine her last name and her husband’s when she married, Carol is what she calls a ‘‘Lucy Stoner,” after the first woman to keep her own name after marriage. The description isn’t quite accurate, though: Carol changed her own birth name to Eves- child. ‘‘My mother’s name was Evelyn, so 1 picked Eveschild for my last name,’ she explains. Carol is married to John Fornicola. They have a son, Joshua Israel Fornicola, aged S. ‘“If Joshua had been a girl, we would have given him my last name,” Carol says. She hopes to attend Penn State at Middletown and study broadcasting.
