The program is furnished by St. Joseph Hospital, Lancaster, in conjunction with the Red Cross. Registration for this course is filled, but addi- tional courses will be offered in the near future. CPR is a life-saving technique used to restore breathing and the circula- tion of blood to the victim of choking, electric shock, trauma, drug overdose, smoke inhalation, or other life-threatening situation. This technique can be used on adults and children and is the most effective way of assuring family members and neighbors that life can be sustained until emergency medical personnel are able to respond with the necessary equipment, drugs, and techniques to continue to support life. CPR programs at Done- gal-Conoy are open to the public. No special training is required to take the course. Keith Gillespie and Scott Bidding, certified CPR instructors and EMT- paramedics at St. Joseph Hospital, will instruct the sixteen participants.

In 25 years, Donegal has had only one championship team, and that was a co-championship. There are two games left in the season. If Donegal wins this one, they will be assured of at least a co-championship. The weekend might even esta- blish the Indians as sole champions, if Elco and Lebanon Catholic, the only other contenders, tie when they clash on the same weekend. On the other hand, if the Indians lose, they could end the season in second place. The game promises to be a tough contest. A-C is a winning (6-3) football team, and the Indians have been jinxed for two weeks in a row. Last week's game with Cocalico was not encour- aging. ‘“‘It was the worst game we've played in two years,”” coach Deshler ad- mitted. The Indians won -14-0 but they were playing one of the weakest teams in the county. In fact, the Indians looked worse against Coca- lico than they had looked against Norlebco two weeks ago. Part of the problem may have been the eerie silence for the Donegal side of the Attention field. Even at home games, the fans have been sparce recently. Maybe the over- whelming victories the In- dians piled up early in the season were too boring for the fans, who started staying home in record numbers, after breaking attendance records at the first five games. Lots of things went wrong last week. The offense was stopped twice within five yards of the goal. The defense started strong, but sagged as soon as the offense caught fire. Pete Splain, back in action for the first time, led the offense with 100 yards on 16 carries and one touchdown. Scott Jones ran well in spite of the punishment he had ab- sorbed a week earlier, grabbing 35 yards in only 3 carries. Arlen Mummau was held to 23 yards on his 9 plays. The scouts had marked him well, and the Cocalico defense knew just where he was going to be. Meszaros ran 6 times and was held to 13 yards. Brian Ney hit 6 of his 10 passes for 78 yards and avoided being intercepted, as usual. He scored one touchdown on a quarter- back sneak. Defensively, the Indians were tough in their own territory, but weak until serious threats developed. “We're going to have some real practices this week,’ says coach Deshler. “If we play next week like we did last week, we're going to lose.’ Pinochle playe.s Attention pinochle play- ers—the Maytown Civic Association’s annual Turkey Card Party will be held on Friday, November 3rd, starting at 8:00 PM in the township municipal building.
