Page 12—SUSQUEHANNA TIMES i WPSX director Keith Schneider explains filming procedures to the kids. [They perked up for the shooting. ] TV spot filmed here in Marietta Last week a 30-second spot TV message was filmed in Marietta’s Community House. Three men from WPSX, the Pennsylvania State Extension TV station, filmed members of local cub and: girl scout troops singing “*God Bless America.’’ Next spring, TV stations will broadcast the tapes, edited to 30 seconds and with a narration dubbed over, as a public service message promoting restoration. Keith Schneider, the producer and director (the other two men worked the camera and tape recorder), explained that the State Historical and Museum Commission is paying for the spots. About ten are being filmed around the state. One was filmed in Lancaster. People from the PSU art department first scoped Marietta as a set last year. Mr. Schneider came last April and talked to Margie Landis of the Restoration Associates, and made ar- rangements. (Margie played piano to accompany the kids’ singing, by the way.) Mr. Schneider explained the equipment to the scouts beforehand, and told them not to look into the camera if they wanted to make it into the spot. (Many of the kids couldn’t resist, though, when the cameraman poked it right in their faces.) The filming for the 30- second spot message took about an hour and a half. The scouts were lined up by Mrs. Harold McKain, who also posed for the camera. Mount Joy residents turn out to oppose rezoning North Angle Street. A 4.7 acre lot on Wood About 80 Mount Joy people showed up at last week's zoning hearing to oppose two requests, one for rezoning on Wood Street, and another for rezoning on street, being bought by Cherie Dillow becomes Mount Joy correspondent for the Times Cherie Dillow has joined the staff of the Susquehanna Times as correspondent for the Mount Joy area.

Cherie Dillow Orchard View Farms, would have been changed from medium residential to cam- pus industrial if the motion had been approved. The change was requested so that Wolgemuth’s Feed Mill’s offices could relocate there with the blessings of the borough government. The request was with- drawn, apparently as a result of public pressure. However, the offices will probably be moved anyway. Since the area is already being used in nonconformity with the zoning plan, the approval of the council was not legally needed. The other request came from Nevin L. Horst. He had asked that a property along North Angle Street be changed form low- to medium-density residential. Horst wants to build a development consisting of about 20 multi-family dwellings. Residents of the area said that more people would cause traffic and other problems. The request, which is inconsistent with Mount Joy’s comprehensive plan according to the borough planning commission, will be decided by the council on August 13th. i , Wi aah Last week’s earliest cor- rect entry was again Cindy Beaston’s. She correctly identified the ‘gingerbread’ on the roofline at 283 W. Market Street, near the Mobil station. Summer is the time when front porches in this area look so old fashioned and appealing with hanging baskets of flowers and window boxes. While you're enjoying the variety of ‘gingerbread’ and plants on area porches you may spot this week’s Head's Up. Please send your guess in writing to P.O.

Mueller of Union City, N.J. asked me to write a letter to the Susquehanna Times to publicly thank the Marietta Jaycees for the wonderful Fourth of July celebration which was held at the Marietta War Memorial Park. He stated that the grand display of fireworks was equal to anything he had seen in the city. I never got around to writing that letter. This year, my two sisters and I decided to plan a family reunion to coincide with the Jaycees celebra- tion. Living close to the park we had hoped that the reunion would be topped off by a display of fireworks. On July 1 this year, there were 63 people at my home, including guests from Ok., Florida, Maryland and New Jersey with many persons attending from near by towns. Even though the fireworks were canceled we had a very successful reunion with many cousins getting reacquainted after not having seen each other for years. Even though the fire- works were set off a week late, guests came back for the display. The response was— ‘Terrific!’ and 1 thought the finale was out- standing and beyond desrip- tion. I now want to say to the Marietta Jaycees ‘‘Bravo for a job well done!”’ And now that the biggest activity of the summer is over for Marietta isn’t it possible for some organiza- tion or group to plan something for Labor Day? With the gas shortage many people will be staying home over the last summer holiday of the year and it would be nice if Mariettians could have something to celebrate before going into Autumn. The activites need not be anything other than perhaps a community picnic or band concert with games for young and old. Labor Day would be an ideal time to bring people out to the park and 1 surely would hope that someone will give some thought to the idea. Thanks again Jaycees! Sincerely Yours, Martha I. Fuhrman Letter to the Editor To the Editor; Since our request for a contribution to help reduce the indebtedness of $15,000 for the purchase of a new ambulance, the debt has been reduced to $7,100. The reduction of the indebted- ness was accomplished through the efforts of your fellow businessmen and through the efforts of the drivers, attendants, mem- bers of the Board of Directors and local citizens who are supporting our money raising efforts. The ambulance provides an essential service and is available for round the clock service. The ambulance is manned by trained person- nel. Enclosed is a statement of Cash Receipts and Dis- bursements for the year 1978. The amount in the Certificate of Deposit will be used to purchase radio equipment. We again urge you to support this worthy cause. Albert J. Dettinger President, Marietta Area Ambulance Association, Inc.
