Page 12—SUSQUEHANNA TIMES Long-time organist Anne Milanof stands before the Presentation BVM Church in Marietta, where the Mount Joy parish held a reception for her. Those who attended the reception stand in the rear. Anne is holding one of their presents to her, a pair of brass bookends shaped like G-clefs. Anne Milanof honored by her parish Anne Milanof was honor- ed on Sunday, July 1st, at a surprise reception given by the parish. She has been the organist at Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish, Mount Joy, for the rast 23 years, serving faithfully for both Saturday and Sunday masses as well as special services. Miss Milanof has been an active member of the church, serving in the following capacities: mem- ber of the Altar and Rosary Society; past president of the Parish Council of Catholic Women and the Lancaster Deanery, past president of the Parish Advisory Board, and chair- man of the Liturgy Commit- Marietta Zoning Hearing Board Three requests for special exceptions were heard by the Marietta Zoning Hearing Board Wednesday night in the Council Chambers. Jerry Martin was granted permission to install his forge and tin smithing equipment in a former body shop in the 100 block of W. Apple Alley. He stated he works alone, mostly by appointment and has no interest in having a larger operation. Parking would be to the side of the building for a limited amount of customers. Granted also was the application of John Dom- bach, 227 Clay St, Lancaster, to alter a structure at Market and Bank Sts., Marietta, (known as the Linden House) into eight-one bedroom apart- ment units which would rent at approximately $250 per month with 600 square feet of space (each). The basement area, according to the proposal, would have coin operated washers & dryers for the tenants use with additional space for other activities. The living area for approxi- mately 16 persons would have 3 apartments on the first and second stories and 2 on the third level. The parking area will be all weather-proofed. Joel Sater, a resident, reminded those present of the ‘‘classic construction of the structure with a spiral staircase.’ Ron Perry, chairman of the zoning hearing board, stated, ‘‘the house has been on the market for 2 years and is in a deteriorated status.” Dombach stated the staircase would have to be removed because of its sagging supports but he hopes to make little change to the exterior. The application of Sylvia Swank to have a special exception to open an in home shop at 217 W. Market St., Marietta, was denied by the same board. In stating her case, Sylvia stated operations would be on appointment basis selling some old-some new items and fabrics. The volume of the sales, she said, ‘‘would perhaps be just meeting expenses. Since a prior board had previously rezoned this same area to R-100 the current board explained it would be creating a precedent by altering that decision. Perry moved the application be granted but the motion died for want of a second. The Linden House, of Federal Architecture, occu- pied by the ironmasters Henry Miller Watts, Henry tee. The parish gratefully acknowledges her dedicated services. Miss Milanof also con- tributes much of her time to the Mount Joy Library.

So called for a row of linden trees skirting the alley the house shows signs of elegance both in construc- tion and the suggested mode of living that characterized those days. July 4, 1979 Note to letter writers Last week we received another letter concerning the MYAA dispute, signed “Two Teenagers.”’ Unfor- tunately, we cannot publish such a letter without a signature or signatures. This paper will be happy to withhold the names of those who write letters to the editor, but we must have Heads Up! a signed letter in our files to protect ourselves. We invite the Two Teenagers to come to our office and sign the letter, after which we will publish it with the signature, ‘‘Two Teenagers.”” Anyone else who wishes to write, and have his or her name withheld, is invited to do so. — Editor Do you recognize the building in the drawing above? [Hint: it’s in Marietta.] If you do, don’t delay! Send a letter or postcard with your guess of its location and your name, address and telephone number, and send it to the Marietta Restoration As- sociates, P.0. Box 3, Marietta PA 17547. You might win five dollars if you do this, because the Associates will give a prize to the first person to guess it right. Two previous mystery drawings for the Heads Up contest have run in this paper, but no one guessed either. Apparently they were too difficult. The Restorationists hope this one will be easier. The previous Heads Up drawing showed a house on Clay Street. Maytown Playground The Maytown Playground has completed its successful first week. Eighty-five children registered.
