E. Donegal permissive
on buildings, not booze
The East Donegal Town-

The amendment allows

of the total usable floor
space of a building subject
to the zoning yard require-
ments. It also prohibits
alcoholic beverages in retail
stores and places that sell
food, and in shopping
centers, unless the store or
restaurant holds a license
from the PLCB.
In other action, the
supervisors gave a contract
to John C. Martin to build a
salt shed behind the munici-
received $1000 from the
borough for maintenance
and repairs and $500 as a

J-Cs plan
Mt. Joy
center
Bob Behling, president of
the Mount Joy Jaycees
appeared at the monthly
meeting of the Mount Joy

converted into a community

take the renovation of the
historic building.
Behling appeared before
council to obtain a letter
from them, stating that they
were not opposed to the
Jaycees’ plans for restoring
the the building and making
it into a needed facility for
the community. Behling
needed this statement of
non-disapproval in order to
apply for for Community
Development Funds to
underwrite the project. The
funds must be applied for by
Nov. 16 to be available by
next September.
Council voted to grant
Behling’s request for the
necessary letter.

Parent of the Week
Mrs. Judy Funk
Several weeks ago Gene
Funk, coach of the Donegal
wrestling team and phys.
ed. teacher at Beahm Junior
HIgh School was teacher of
the week. We asked him to
recommend a Parent of the
Week for us. He said he'd
give it some thought.
A week or two later we
called Gene back and asked
him whether he had thought
of any good parents he could
recommend to us. He said,
“You know, a half hour after
you interviewed me, it
suddenly hit me: the best
parent I know is my wife."
When we called on Mrs.
Funk and told her who had
recommended her, she said,
‘“‘He’s trying to get on my
good side.”
When we called on Mrs.
Tunk she was making mints
for the reception after the
installation of Father Seville
at St. Luke's Episcopal
Church in Mount Joy.
seems she is always busy
doing something for her
family or the community, or
both.
Because her husband
Gene is busy not only as
wrestling coach but also as
assistant football coaci. and
swimming instructor, he
often gets home late, and
Judy Funk has her hands
full running the Funk
household which includes
the Funk children, Kim, 12,
and Michael, 8. The family
waits for Gene to get home
to eat, because supper time
is family time when they all
can get together at last and
discuss the day’s events for
all of them.
Judy Funk has a lot more
activiics than the usual wife
and mother. Five days a
week from 9 in the morning
till 3 in the afternoon she is
cleaning other people's
houses. A lot of the people
she cleans for are old or are
convalescing from recent
operations. Even in her
work, Judy Funk manages
to be doing good for people.
