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?

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

vicinity came from a county
in Ireland, known as Lon-
donderry, which was de-
sieged in 1689 by the
armies of King James II for
a period of nearly five
months.
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.
