Friendship Fire Co.
receives free ambulance!
The Mount Joy Friend-
ship Fire Company received
an unexpected gift recently.
An anonymous supporter of
the company donated a 1969
Superior Cadillac ambu-
lance to the crew. The
ambulance comes from the
Washingtown Boro depart-
ment, which quit operating
earlier this year.
The ambulance is, at
present, being housed in the
Florin Fire Company firehall
until the new building of
Friendship’s is complete.
The new ambulance re-
quires some minor work,
and is expected to be in
operation in about two
weeks.
The ambulance will be
used in the future for
routine transports and as a
back-up unit to the com-
pany’s 1974 Horton modular
unit. One of the ambulance
crewmen remarked, ‘‘You
can’t beat someone giving
you a free ambulance!’’
Ground work laid
for bargaining between
teachers / school board
The Donegal School
Board met last Thursday
night with new committees
having been selected. The
chairmen of the committees
are as follows: Policy-
Finance, Mrs. Patricia J.
Eicherly; Education-Person-
nel, Mr. Donald Kugle:
Building, Maintenance and
Supply, Mr. Ronald N.
Melleby; Public Realtions,
Dr. Jefferson S. Hartzler;
Extra Curricular, Mr. Edgar
T. Jones; Vo-Tech Joint,
Mr. Donald Kugle; Lan-
caster County Tax Collection
Bureau, Mrs. Patricia J.
Eicherly; Legislative Coun-
cil of P.S.B.A., Dr. Robert
F. Eshleman; and the newly
formed Teachers’ Negotia-
tions & Welfare committee,
Mr. Dale Arnold.
It was reported by Mr.
Arnold that two bargaining
sessions have been held,
‘laying the ground work’’
for future negotiations. DEA
has presented several pro-
posals for the coming
negotiations.
Head negotiator for the
teachers in the negotiations
for a new 1980-81 contract is
Woodrow
board
Tom Greider.
Sites heads the
negotiating team.
In other committee re-
ports, Mr. Jones congratu-
lated all of the winter sports
teams, especially the girls,
for their season thus far.
Dr. Eshleman reported
that he will be traveling to
Washington as a delegate
from Pennsylvania to a
forum of the National School
Board Association.
In business conducted
during the evening it was
decided to increase the
admission prices to athletic
events, beginning in 1980-
81. The price for adults will
go from $1.50 to $2.00 and a
student ticket will go from
$.75 to $1.00.
The board agreed to
conducting one of the
sectional wrestling tourna-
ments for District 3, Class
AA in the high school gym,
Friday and Saturday, Feb-
ruary 22 and 23. This has
been done in past years.
In further board action,
the possibilites for a girls’
junior high basketball team
was discussed. The project
will be entered into next
year’s budget. In the
meantime, the board would
like to examine the possibil-
ity further. They are
interested in the support
offered by students, and the
feelings of the community.
It was mentioned that
because the district already
has a boys’ junior high
basketball team, they may
soon be required to have the
girls’ team as well. This
would mean having both or
none at all.
The projected cost of a
new team is about $1600.
A tax exemption request
was made by the Marietta
Congregational Bible
Church for the old Rich
Insurance building on West
Market Street. They plan to

Lamar Stutzman, pharmacist at Sloan’s Pharmacy, Mount Joy, explains
details of last weeks robbery to our reporter.
Amateur thief robs Sloan’s
Pharmacy, $800 in narcotics
“He definitely didn’t
steal for a living,”” said
Lamar Stutzman about the
bandit who held up Sloan’s
Pharmacy in Mount Joy last
Wednesday. ‘‘No question
about it, he was an
amateur.”’
Amateur or no, the fact
remains, the man had a gun.
The robbery took place at
about 1:45 pm on Wednes-
day, with a store full of
people. Although there was
a considerable amount of
money in the cash register,
the bandit had no interest in
anything but narcotics. He
got about $800 worth of
amphetamines, sedatives
and hypnotics. ‘‘He knew
exactly what he wanted,”
said Lamar. ““As far as I
>ould tell, they were for his
ywn use.’’
The bandit, who wore
nothing over his face, was in
the store for several minutes
before the robbery took
place. ‘‘I knew he was going
to rob us,” said Lamar,
“but there was nothing I

could do to prevent it.”’
“I asked him if I could
help him,” said clerk Mary
Stark. ‘“Then I saw the gun.
I did what he said.”’
‘‘He must have needed
the drugs right away,”’ said
Stutzman, ‘‘to come into a
store in the broad daylight.
We had two salesmen come
into the store while the
robbery was taking place. I
told everyone I could to get
to a back room. Some of the
customers at the front of the
store continued with their
shopping.”
The robber fled by way of
a side door. “I ran to the
door after he left, but he
disappeared.”
Stutzman believes the
bandit had an accomplice
waiting in a car.
‘““We got a phone call
from Kline’s Store, saying a
man fitting the description
of the thief had entered the
store shortly before he came
down to us. He asked them
if they carried a full line of
drugs. People think he may
have gotten into an old, red
Chevy Nova. We don’t
know.”
We talked to Ben
Piersol, the other pharm-
acist at Sloan’s, before
going to press. There are no
new leads in the case. “‘It
looks as if he made a
successful get-away,” said
Piersol.
‘‘I only have one thing to
say,’’ said Lamar Stutzman.
‘‘If that guy robs too many
more stores, he is going to
get killed. He just did not
know what he was doing.”
