Township continues The 4'2 year old con- troversy concerning sewers in the Mount Joy Township continues. A group of citizens is concerned that the proposed Multi-million dollar sewer will use up too much land. They wish to have the project scaled down. The citizens faced an unfavorable federal court decision recently, but they plan to file an appeal before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, Philadelphia, sometime in early March. The project has been bogged down with legal debate and litigation for several years now. The project was due to get Wendy Pekarek, left, and Pete Rose, behind, share Valentine gifts with Pete’s grandmother, Romaine ~ Cooper, seated on the February 20, 1980 left, and Wendy's ‘‘grandperson’’, Joan Harbour, on the right. 4th graders hold grandparent/grandperson Day to kick off ‘International Year of the Family’ Mrs. Vera Cox’s fourth grade classroom was the center of much excitement last Wednesday. The stu- dents at the Grandview Elementary School, Mount Joy were celebrating grand- parents and grandpersons day. : Grandparent / grandper- son day was this class’s way of beginning 1980’s ‘‘Inter- national Year of the Fam- ily’’. The students were not the only ones excited by the day’s activities. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Bitner, who came from Safe Harbor to see their grand- child Christa Bitner, were very pleased with the program. ‘‘Grandparents do not get to visit in the classroom very often,”’ said Mrs. Bitner. ‘‘Now when she tells us about school, we will have a better idea of what it is really like.”’ The children in the class who did not have a grandparent to ask, invited an older friend or neighbor to share in the day's festivities. There were 35 ‘“‘grandpersons’’ in attend- ance. The day began when the grandparents ate lunch with their grandchildren in the cafeteria. After lunch, the grandparents and grandper- sewer controversy on into fifth year under way in 1976 when the cost was estimated at $5.1 million. The next authority meet- ing is scheduled for Tues- day, February 26, where updated costs will be presented. No annual horse show in Marietta this year The annual horse show, sponsored by the Marietta Lion's Club, will be post- poned until 1981, it was decided at a recent meeting. [he reason for the post- ponement was due to the current economic situation. Robert Spangler, pres- ident, conducted the meet- ing where it was announced that a membership cam- paign is in progress. The group will meet at the Colonial Inn for its regular February meeting on the 28th at 6:30 pm. sons were entertained with a Little Theater production, a Valentine filmstrip and various craft demonstra- tions. These activities were all planned and performed by the students. After a trip to music class, the guests were presented with books prepared by the children. What is a Grand- parent? was a collection of stories and drawings by the children. Wendy Pekarek, in her contribution to the book, wrote: ‘‘My grandma is like pizza—so good to me.” The children then pre- sented their Cupid Play Assembly program with seven skits created by seven different students. The day ended with a reception for grandparents and grandpersons, includ- ing refreshments. Tammy Edye and Connie Emenheiser, who were giv- ing a demonstration on making heart-shaped bas- kets, told wus that they thought the entire day had been ““lots of fun!”’ We had to agree that this unique method of celebrat- ing “The International Year of the Family” certainly served a purpose.
