Page 12—SUSQUEHANNA TIMES Sally, Timmy and Iggy the Piggy Sally, 14, and Timmy, 3, Lookenbill, Sagerville, have an unusual pet. Six weeks ago their uncle, who raises prize pigs, gave them a baby pig, because Timmy always wanted one of his own. The pig their uncle gave them was too small to ever win prizes. They both help to raise the pig, which they named Iggy the Piggy. They feed him grain and water. Iggy also does a lot of rooting in the ground. Iggy gets bathed in the family bathtub, with sham- poo, to make his/her coat lustrous. (Timmy and Sally don’t know whether Iggy is a he or a she). He or she is undoubtedly, though, the best-smelling pig in Lancas- ter County, if not the world. Sally says Iggy is smart. He comes when she calls his/her name; also, Iggy follows Timmy and Sally down the road to Sagerville, without a leash. Asked what they are going to do with Iggy after he/she is grown, Timmy says, ‘‘Eat him!”’ but Sally says she could never eat him or her. Sally, Timmy, Iggy the Piggy Biggest 4th of July ever planned by J aycees The Marietta Jaycees announced last night that the 22nd annual 1979 4th of July celebration will be bigger and better than any to date. The celebration and carnival attracts a lot more people to Marietta than any other single event spon- sored by local organizations. This year’s celebration will be the weekend before the 4th at War Memorial Park, June 29, 30, and July 1. Chuck Loucks, co-chair- man for the Jaycee project, said, ‘“We will shoot off a thousand dollars worth of fireworks during the one minute finale. The total retail value of the 1979 display is worth $7,000.’ According to the fireworks supplier, the Marietta Jay- cees have one of the largest and most beautiful aerial - and ground displays in the entire state and have had it for years. The display and festivities draw thousands from near and far, reported- ly from as far away as Washington, D.C. on a regular basis. This year the Jaycees are planning for many thou- sands more people by extending public invitations to other Marietta and surrounding area organiza- tions which can set up and operate new and interesting game and prize stands at a negotiable rate. Applica- tions for stands may be obtained until June 13 from Chuck Loucks, 426-3001, Dave Morris, 285-3645, or any Marietta Jaycee. Parents and children will be pleased to know that a new company, Rolling Regal Shows, had been contracted to bring an adult Ferris Wheel and Chairplane ride as well as other smaller kiddie rides. Music lovers will be tapping their feet to live entertainment each evening from 7 to 11 PM. Scheduled for Friday night, June 29th, is a Harrisburg group, “Music Generation,’’ play- ing S0’s hits; Saturday brings ‘‘Silver Streak’ a rock band; and Possum Revue for a Sunday night bluegrass hoedown. Plagued by floods one year, and rainy weather for the past two years, the Jaycees and the community are hoping for better weather this year. Proceeds from the project go toward continued development and restoration of the Marietta Community Recreation Center.
