given to all those in

was encouraged for the

Bill and Mary Gilbert retire
After 20 years of
business in Maytown, Bill
and Mary Gilbert have
retired.
Last Saturday they turn-
ed their garage over to
Marlin Miller, and from
"now on will work at only
one job—managing their
East Park Development just
down the road from the
garage.
Bill started out in
Maytown with a welding
shop in 1958. He and Mary
have lived here since 1951.
In 1962 he gave up welding
for auto repair. -
Mary says she won't
miss the ‘‘long, hard
hours’’ she has put in at
the business, but she will
miss some parts of it. “I've
enjoyed meeting and talk-
ing to the people,” she
says.
Bill echoes her senti-
ments: ‘‘Our customers
were also our friends,”’ he
says. ‘“We’ve been on a
first-name basis with most
of them. It's not like the
Turnpike, where people
never come back.”
The new business in the
Gilbert's shop will be
called ‘‘Miller’s Tire and
Service.”
When the Gilberts open-
ed their garage, Bill and
Mary were the only
employees. As more and
more customers came, they
eventually had three men
working for them.
The Gilberts were marri-
ed in 1943. They have two
daughters, Lorraine and
Gwen. (Each daughter has
a street named after her in
the development—Bill and
sales leaders.
Pinewood Derby kits
were distributed to cubs by
Den 1 leader (Darlene.
Williams), Den 2 leader
(Jeanette Ruth), and
Webelo leader (Bernie
Donley), for January's
project.
The next pack meeting
will be held on January
29th at 7:00 PM in the East
Donegal Township Muni-
cipal Building.
Mary live at 21 Lorraine
Avenue.) Lorraine is now
Mrs. Ronald Singer, of
RD1 Marietta, and has two
daughters of her own;
Gwen is Mrs. Thomas Long
and lives in Mercury Court,
Harrisburg. She has two
sons.
The Gilberts are active in
local organizations. They
belong to the fire company,
the Legion, the Moose
Lodge of Elizabethtown,
the Maytown Civic Associa-
tion, and Reich’s Evangel-
ical Church between the
two of them.
January 3, 1979
Wrestlers, girls place
2d in holiday tourneys
Donegal sent eight
wrestlers to the semi-finals
of the Donegal wrestling
tournament, bu E-town
captured the team trophy
with 165 points. Donegal
followed with 152%, and
Lancaster Catholic finished
third with 120. Nine teams
competed.
Donegal wrestlers who
won in the finals were;
Mike Greiner (by default);
Jeff Bell; and Arlen
Mummau.
The most valuable wrest-
ler was John Risser of
E-town.
Meanwhile, at the
Ephrata girls’ tournament,
the Donegal girls’ basket-
ball team was demolished
in the final game by Sam
Bowie's sister, Shelly, of
the Lebanon Cedars.
Miss Bowie, who is only
about a foot shorter than
her seven-foot-plus brother,
scored eighteen points in
a contest which ended in a
68-39 victory for Lebanon.
With Bowie grabbing all
the rebounds, the re-
maining Cedars were free
to concentrate on setting
up their fast break. The
combination worked quite
nicely for them, and they
ran to an early and
unsurmountable lead.
A cold shooting game
added to Donegal’s woes.
Alice Musser did most of
the scoring for Donegal,
but totaled only ten points.
Beth Keffer was fouled
out early in the game, and
nobody else was doing
much scoring for the
Indians.
The Indian girls have an
excellent chance to win
their section title this year.
If they do, they may find
themselves confronting
Miss Bowie & Co. again.
If that happens, they
won't be able to feel too
sorry for themselves, be-
cause the boys’ team may
have to face her big
brother at about the same
time.
