Tobacco farmers take advantage of the Labor Day
holiday by harvesting part of their crop before students
return to school.

MARIETTA & MOUNT JOY, PA.
Eric Strickler, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Chris Strickler,
R.D.#1 Bainbridge, spent the day fishing in a
neighborhood pond. When we asked if we could take his
picture, he said: ‘‘Sure! Let me catch a fish first.”’ No
sooner said then done. He threw in his line and pulled it
back out with a small fish attached.
Labor Day activities
According to the calen-
dar, summer will be with us
for another two and one
half weeks, but for many
Donegal area residents, last
Monday, Labor Day,
marked the end of the
‘‘fun-in-the-sun’’ season.
The Susquehanna Times
photographer visited many
people celebrating the holi-
day in a wide variety of
ways. Some families en-
joyed picnicing and swim-
ming together while others
took advantage of the day
by harvesting tobacco.
Children anticipated the
beginning of a new school
year and mothers dreamed
of the quiet days to come.
And almost everyone agreed
on one point. They were
ready for fall and relief from
the summer heat.

It looked as if all of Mount Joy had turned out for the final day of swimming at the
Mount Joy Lions’ pool.
Donegal football team
defeats Crimson Tide
The Donegal Indians
football team proved the
odds wrong by defeating
Columbia soundly in the
first non-league game of the
scholastic season. Donegal
defeated the Crimson Tide
by a 21 to 6 score.
Darrel Risberg, Donegal’s
sophomore quarterback,
had an excellent offensive
game, and the Donegal
defense held Columbia to
just three first downs.
Although only a sopho-
more, Risberg already has
ten games of varsity ex-
perience to his credit,
having played as a freshman
last season.
Donegal started things in
the second quarter when
Indian Scott Snyder partially
blocked a Columbia punt.
Donegal offense was now at
its own 46-yard line.
Following this, Risberg
tossed a pass to tight-end
Fred Straub who caught the
ball and ran 15 yards for the
first touchdown of the game.
The Tide fumbled on their
next series of plays and
Donegal had the ball at the
Columbia 28-yard line. Ris-
berg once again threw a
pass, after several running
plays, and connected with
Joe Althof for a 25-yard
touchdown. The two-point
conversion toss from Ris-
berg to Althof worked, and
Donegal led 14 to 0 going
into halftime.
Late in the third quarter
Ron Kennedy scored the
final Donegal touchdown.
The Columbia touchdown
cam with only seconds
remaining in the game.
The Donegal defense held
the Columbia team to just 88
yards rushing; a strong
performance. :
The Indians will play their
first home game this Friday,
September S, against the
Elizabethtown Bears. The
game will start at 8 pm at
the Donegal High School. If
last week’s game with
Columbia is any indication
of the Indians playing ability
this year, Friday’s game
may prove to be quite a
contest.
