FIFTEEN CENTS
Hours for
Trickin’ or
Treatin’
—and careful
driving
Halloween is coming,
and many children will be
out Trick or Treating. The
local officials have set
hours for this. They ask
that motorists drive very
carefully while our kids are
i out wandering around the
streets. Here are the Trick
or Treat hours:
Maytown and East Donegal
Township— October 30th,
from 6:00 to 9:00 PM.
Marietta—OQctober 30, 7:00
to 9:00 PM.
Mount Joy—October 31st,
6:00 to 9:00 PM.
Drive carefully.
The Marietta Jaycees
have been hard at work in
the old school, getting
ready for the scariest
‘“‘Scream in the Dark’ to
date.
Here are some of the
scarifying things that are
in store for anyone brave
enough to go:
—a giant spider (and a BIG
spider web!);
—a public hanging;
a pyschedelic, mind-blow-
ing, strobe-lit, and dis-
orienting checker board
room;
—a creaky, swaying bridge
over a black pit;
—a silver room, with shiny
walls, floor, and ceiling;
—the Maze, in which
screaming youngsters have
been lost for up to an hour
at a time (help will be at
hand if anyone really wants
to get out, however);
—an indoor graveyard;
—a severed head, suspend-
ed in space (one of the
Jaycees);
—and eerie, spooky, horri-
fying, alarming, dreadful,
awful, creepy sound
effects in each room.
The only lighting will be
candlelight and black light.
“*Scream in the Dark”
starts October 21st, and
continues on most nights
(there won’t be any on the
night of the parade) till
October 31st. Tickets will
be available at the door.
The 24th annual Jaycees
Halloween Parade will be
held on October 23rd this
year. There will be prizes,
floats, goblins, witches,
and real live—er, dead—
ghosts. So don’t miss it.
The parade starts at 6:00
PM at Riverview School.
Be there.
Mount Joy Jaycees inspect the water pump in preparation for the rally. In the
driver’s seat is Todd Shank; clockwise, the others are Ralph Spayd, Tom Safko and
Keith Smith.
Jaycees to hold road rally
The Mount Joy Jaycees
will be holding their annual
Road Rally on Sunday,
October 29, at the Mount
Joy Vo-Tech School.
Registration will start at
1:30 p.m., and the first car
will leave at 2:30.
The 432 mile course will
cover some of the most
scenic roads in northern
Lancaster and southern
Lebanon counties. Cars
will be inspected before the
race and demerits will be
given for inadequacies in
lights, signals, tires, etc.
Participants will be given
clues to follow the course
through assigned check-
points.
There will be a $5.00
donation which will include
refreshments at the end of
the Rally. First and second
winners wil receive tro-
phies. There is a limit of 4
adults or one family per
car.
The Road Rally is a good
way to enjoy some friendly
competition and have the
fun with your family and
neighbors on a Sunday
afternoon while you watch
the beautiful autumn scen-
ery. You may even win a
trophy!

Supervisors and police
on good terms again
in East Donegal Township
The East Donegal Police
and the Supervisors have
made up.
The atmosphere in the
meeting room during the
supervisors’ meeting last
week was very relaxed,
in contrast to the tensions
which filled the air during
last month’s meeting. At
that time, the police had
threatened to quit if the
supervisors ignored their
needs any longer.
Both president John H.
Brubaker and chief of
police George Shirk read
statements expressing their
satisfaction with the way
things had been resolved.
Few citizens attended the
meeting, as is usual. Chief
Shirk was in uniform, not
dressed as he was at the
last meeting in civilian
clothes.
Before reading the sup-
ervisors’ statement, presi-
dent Brubaker made some
remarks. ‘“‘l think we live
in a negative world,”” he
said philosophically. He
was glad, he said, that
something positive had
come out of the meeting
between the police and
supervisors.
The statement read:
“The Supervisors of East
Donegal Township met
with the three members of
the Township Police De-
partment on Tuesday, Sep-
tember 26, 1978, at 7:30
P.M.
“By unanimous decision
the Supervisors voted to
have the members of the
force continue in their
current capacities.
“The matter of necessary
equipment and supplies
was discussed to the
satisfaction of both parties.
Establishing a line of
communication was recog-
nized as a necessary factor
to operate smoothly in the
future.
‘““The past is behind
us—we look to the future
with a desire to have East
Donegal Township a pleas-
ant and safe place to live
and work.”’
The statement was sign-
ed by all three supervisors.
Chief Shirk read the
police statement next. It
read:
“On September 26th, a
lengthy meeting was held
with our three supervisors
to discuss the various
problems encountered by
the East Donegal Township
Police Department. Each
problem was thoroughly
reviewed in a most orderly
fashion.
“The attitude of each
supervisor was one of
genuine interest and a
willingness to understand
and remedy the problems
within reasonable limits. I
have consulted the officers
and it is our unanimous
feeling that very fai
consideration was shown by
each. of the three super-
visors.
“I am quite confident
that we will not experience
any difficulties of this sort
in the future. It is a
pleasure for me to be able
to make this statement.”
The five citizens and two
reporters in the audience
applauded after the state-
ments had been read.
The supervisors then
went on to other business.
Parks commissioner Leas
asked if the kitchen in the
park will get built this
year. Llyod Fuhrman said
that this is up to the
Authority. Bids will be let
out for the work, but
contractors are very busy,
and no offers may be
made.
The Maytown Youth Or-
ganization asked for per-
mission to use a room in
the township building for
meetings. They were given
the go-ahead on condition
that they not let children
run unsupervised through
the building. The meetings
will take place on the 4th
Monday of each month at
7:30 PM.
A tract of land south of
Route 441, near Wyeth
Labs, was rezoned from
industrial to highway com-
mercial. The vote was
unanimous.
The ordinance against
disorderly conduct will be
used against loiterers who
cause trouble. This was
brought up in regard to the
