Page 12—SUSQUEHANNA TIMES Chris and Jane in the Shoppe - Marietta Candy Shoppe under new management —Chris and Jane Schran A bit of nostalgia has been recaptured by Chris and Jane Schran in their reopening the Marietta Candy Shoppe, Inc., 132 West Market Street, Mari- etta, next door to the Marietta Theater. The Candy Shoppe was originally opened in 1934 by Charles G. Stephanis. It was known around Marietta as Charlie’s Luncheonette or just ‘‘Charlie’s’’ and was popular with people of all ages. When Mr. and Mrs. Stephanis decided to retire, and put their store up for sale, it took the new owners only a month to acquire the place; they liked it and knew this was what they wanted ‘“‘upon sight.” Just as the Stephanises, the Schrans are living in the apartment above the candy shop. The new owners are also preserving the original decor of the shop but have added some interesting stenciling. The Stephanises’ home- made candy, however, has been replaced with old-fash- ioned penny candies: licor- ice sticks, jaw breakers, tootsie rolls, Mary Jane's wafers, Red Hot Dollars, jelly candy, wetem and wearem, and bubble gum.

The Schrans, from the Philadelphia area, like the small town atmosphere of Marietta. Chris, an experi- enced chef, met Jane in the Lancaster area. At first she told him, “It’s a shame you're not my type,”’ but Chris was patient, moved to Washington, * D.C., from where he proposed to Jane Donsco to on the telephone, and was, naturally, accepted. At her wedding Jane wore an antique ivory satin gown which she bought from Goodwill for $50. An expert seamstress, she made the dress over into a ‘‘band box’’ look. Jane, a twin, is a graduate of Penn State, where she majored in home ec and family studies. The Schrans have plans to revive the Rendezvous Club in the rear of the candy shop, where people will be able to dance to live banjo music, family singalongs, disco, or juke box. rebuild foundry Donsco, Inc., recently broke ground for their new foundry in Mount Joy. The new foundry will be constructed on the site of the old Grey Iron Casting Co., which was destroyed last February in a fire. The new building will cost about the same as the old one— $2,000,000. About 60 people should be working at the new foundry by the end of the year. Donegal Society reunion Mark C. Ebersole, presi- dent of Elizabethtown Col- lege, spoke to the 66th annual reunion of the Donegal Society last Thurs day at Donegal Presbyteriar Church. Ebersole told the group of about SO people that liberal arts college education is being overshadowed by technology, and said that the humanities are in danger. Earlier in the day the Rev. William Hudnut, interim pastor of the First Presby- terian Church of Glenn Falls, New York, spoke to the Donegal Society on ““The Sources of Lincoln’s Power.”’ Letters June 27, 1979 All about MYAA Agrees with Mrs. Shultz To the Editor: I would just like to agree with Mrs. Shultz in regard to her letter stating how the M.Y.A.A. is run and also in regard to the travelling team. My son had a similar experience with the travel- ling team last year. She stated things very accurately and 1 say congratulations Mrs. Shultz for saying something that should have been said much sooner! Nancy Oberholtzer Let’s hold a meeting on it To the editor: As we know there is a feud between Mrs. Shultz and the ‘‘clique.”” Mrs. Shultz did right by expres- sing her feelings. Same with Bump. But why are they doing this in the paper? Why not discuss this problem in an orderly manner. Have a meeting where everybody in the whole MYAA can express their feelings. After they hear everybody’s side try to change this organization. (You'll find it will make all the difference.) My son plays ball. He doesn’t play regularly and this makes me hot. But believe me, if a meeting is held for MYAA, 1 trust in the Lord, He’ll help us out and make this organization work like a major league ball team. The Lord probably does not think much of this feud. I have faith in the MYAA League to pull itself back to a rough and sturdy ball team. Thanks to all who read my letter. Signed, Mother of Player P.S. Please just remember this: if it wasn’t for the Lord the Father we wouldn’t be here. May God bless you! More from Mrs. Shultz Letter to the Editor: Because of Mr. Yohe's stupidity in not reading my. letter correctly, I feel 1 owe the people from the Donegal Braves Midget Football program an apology. My letter stated that this same clique HELPS run (not runs) this program. 1 was referring to the coaches. I am well aware of the people who attended the parent meetings during the football season because the same handful of people were the only ones who ever came. | know this to be true because I was among this handful. Where was Mrs. Yohe? There were a few parents who did all the work to make the 1978 season a success. To these people I humbly apologize. I would also like to make a few comments on Mr. Yohe’s letter since he had a bad case of the (I forgot to mention). He did say my husband was a football coach. He forgot to mention this was only during the 1978 season. He couldn’t attend all the practices because he worked swing shift and he missed quite a few of the games because he was getting extra schooling. I would like to thank Mr. Yohe for giving Mike the chance to play in most of the games. Those 1 or 2 plays a game (about 3 minutes of playing time) were really big of you Mr. Yohe! He did not, however, play in every game. If you have forgotten Mr. Yohe, let me refresh your memory on the Hemp- field game. There was a coach on the Hempfield B team which you were not too fond of. During that game you asked for, a show of hands vote, on how many boys would be willing to sit the bench so you could win this one. Well, Mr. Yohe, if you were not so eager for revenge, you would have noticed that Mike didn’t raise his hand but was made to sit the bench anyway. What a show of sportsman- ship! Pat yourself on back Bump Yohe because not many coaches can top this play. As to the allegation as to who’s decision it was for Mike to quit, why not ask him yourself or are you afraid of the truth? You state you have been with MYAA since the early 1960's, and intend to be there in the year 2000. You know Mr. Yohe, it isn’t the quantity of time spent with children but the quality of the time that counts. Last of all I want you to know that I believe your story about the MYAA and what a fair coach Mr. «Don Neal is—1 also believe in the Tooth Fairy and The Easter Bunny. Jane Shultz P.S. Thank you to the Susquehanna Times for the space you have given to me now, and in the past, to air my problem.
