The Susquehanna Times hasn’t given out many
news prizes lately, because we keep forgetting to
give them out as we rush to the printer. This week
we remembered, and this week’s prize goes to Mary
Jane Demmy for tipping us off to the story about
the blessing of the animals.

Solar heated house
in Mount Joy
In the adjoining photo,
Tom Kahler and his father
Richard can be seen atop
the roof of Tom’s new
house, going up on Ha-
becker Road near Baker’s
Cafe.
Tom, an engineer, is
building an unusual home
in that it will be mostly
heated by the sun.
Tom and Cindy Kahler’s
new home, however is the
not ordinary solar heated
dwelling with collectors on
the roof.
The Kahler’s new house
will employ ‘‘passive’’
heating of air in the house
by sunlight coming through
windows facing due south,
east, and west.
The warm air is blown by
fans from the second floor
ceiling to the first floor,
and then into a concrete
storage system under the
first floor, from where it
can warm the house during
the night. Thermo-shutters
on the inside of the
windows reduce heat loss
during the night.
summer the
storage system is used to
hold cold air from the
preceding night to cool the
house during the day.
The system is more
effective than the compli-
cated mechanical systems
which utilize roof collectors
filled with liquid.
Tom says a similar house
to his near Gettysburg was
heated in last year’s cold
winter, 75 per cent by the
sun, a cord of wood burned
in a stove, and a few
gallons of oil.
Tom and his father
started working the house
in August. Tom and his
wife Cindy expect to move
in, in Noveimber.
Tom, an engineer, is not
just an amateur in the field
of solar heating, but a
professional. Anyone inter-
ested in solar heating, may
call him at 426-2259.
P.S. Tom’s style of house
is not only economical to
heat; it is also good to look
at—and economical to
build.

Cindy Hirneisen
‘‘Handicapped people
aren’t very well under-
stood,’”’ explains Cindy
Hirneisen a new teacher at
Kraybill Mennonite School
who came up with a new
idea for better understand-
ing of the problems of
blind people.
Mimi Ginder, last year’s homecoming queen, passes
her crown to Cheri Ney.
Homecoming Queen
Cheri Ney was crowned Homecoming Queen last
Friday night at Donegal High. The crowd seemed to
approve of Cheri's election; she got as much applause
as the football team, who crushed Garden Spot 42-0.
Cheri, the daughter of Mr.
Mount Joy,
Water Street,
and Mrs. Jay Ney, of
was escorted by Cliff
Sweigart. The maid of honor was Sheri Smith, who was
escorted by Sam Zuch.
For more on Homecoming, see page 8.
Members of the court (and their escorts) were; Amy
Landis (Craig Zink),
Diane Hess (Terry Frey),
Neiss),
Kreider (Craig Johnson).
Cindy asked her kids to
volunteer to be blindfolded
for one entire day after her
class had read a story
about deaf and blind
people. The kids were
enthusiastic, thinking it
it would be fun. However,
Nancy Boulton (Shawn Long),
The Susquehanna Times
incorrectly stated in a
recent issue that Nancy
Ettaro, in a letter to the
Donegal School Board, ask-
ed for a raise. Actually, she
requested that a year of
graduate work be counted
as a year of service.
We apologize for our
error.

not so much fun after all.
They could not play at
recesses, and children from
other classes teased them.
The assailants could not be
seen, which made it worse.
The guides, also, soon
found that taking care of a
blindfolded classmate was
a tiring job.

good discussion,”” Cindy
says. She feels her class
