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

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.
