| December 15, 1976 Mount Joy flags now available The Horizons Committee of the Mount Joy Bi- centennial Commission sponsored a flag contest in November and Decem- ber of 1975. The contest was open to all residents of the Mount Joy area. All designs submitted had to meet the following specifications: 1. Size—8'2"’ X 11” 2. Color—a red design on a white background 3. The name, Mount Joy, would be included in the design. Also, the corpora- tion date of 1851 to be included in the design. The winner of the contest received $25.00 and the honor of dedicating the flag to the community. On January 14, 1976 a panel of five judges chose the winning entry. The judges were: Paul Gin- grich, co-chairman of the Mount Joy Bicentennial Commission; Mrs. Sally Roberts, local historian; Mrs. Vera Cox, local his- torian; Warren Foley, local artist; and James Gingrich, Mayor of Mount Joy. Joseph Shaeffer of Mount Joy, was the winner of the flag contest. His design pictured a red ship on a white background. Why a ship? Many of the early set- tlers of Mount Joy, PA and Letter to editor During the Marietta Candlelight Tour, a group of young people came into the Marietta United Meth- odist Church, filed up into the choir loft and pro- ceeded to give us a concert of music appropriate to the season. They came un- expectedly and unan- nounced, sang beautifully and then left. As they were leaving 1 asked who they were and was told that they were the Donegal Chorus from high school. I would like to publicly thank these young people for their concert and com- mend them for their thoughtfulness in planning this surprise. Young people think of the nicest things to do. Sincerely, Rhobie M. Grove Maytown PTP plans bake sale in Maytown Square Parents and Teachers in Partnership will hold a bake sale, Saturday, De- cember 18 from 8 a.m. to at the Square in Maytown.

This siege was termin- ated by the arrival of two provision ships; the Mount Joy of Londonderry and the Dartmouth of Coleraine. The siege frought ex- treme hardship, pestilence and famine upon the citi- zens of Londonderry and the timely arrival of pro- visions by these ships left a lasting impression on the grateful survivors. When their descendants settled in America they named both the township and later the town after the ship Mountjoy that came to the aid of their forefathers. Mount Joy feels that the good ship Mountjoy may thus appropriately be dis- played on its flag. The Horizons Committee is happy to announce a limited number of flags in Size 12’. X18" and of white and red nylon mater- ial are now available to the public. The design is in perfect detail on the smaller flags and will probably be ap- preciated as a collector's item, and Christmas gift. Chairman of Horizons is Mrs. Gloria Straub and Chairman of Flag Project is Miss Ella Gainer. For further details call 653-2355 or 653-5481.
