Vol. 80, No. 41, October 15, 1980
After a public hearing,
which nobody attended,
Mount Joy Borough Council
voted Monday night to
advertise the re-zoning of
the tract of land in the
Borough Park where a house
is located along the road to
Manheim. The tract will be
re-zoned from open ground
to R-2, the classification for
low density housing.
The re-zoning precedes
eventual sale of the proper-
ty.
The council meeting was
well attended by residents
of the area near the car wash
on West Main Street, where
John Melhorn is planning
to build a garage in which he
can wash trucks used for
hauling poultry. The nearby
residents were fearful that
the truck washing facility
would give off offensive
odors. They submitted a
petition
residents of the area,
signed by 160
Mount Joy council
expressing concern about
having the poultry truck
washing facility in their
neighborhood.
Since last month’s meet-

Melhorn had originally re-
quested permission to build,
various council members
had invesigated other places
where poultry trucks are
washed and had observed
the condition of the trucks.
All the council members
who had checked the trucks
and the washing of the
trucks reported unanimous-

voted to permit Melhorn to
build his facility with the

Maria Vaca Deiz, YES exchange student
One of the first things
Maria Elena Vaca Deiz, a
Bolivian exchange student,
did upon arriving in the
United States was to go
shopping for blue jeans.
‘“Maria could really pay
her way to the U.S. with
jeans,”’ jokes her host,
Brian Reiter of West Market
Street, Marietta. ‘‘Jeans
cost more than $60 in
Bolivia.”
Maria is staying with
Brian and his wife Penny for
one year under the Youth
Exchange Service (YES).
While in the area she
attends Donegal High
School where she has a full
load of classes, despite her
early difficulties with the
English language.
Maria lives in Santa Cruz,
a fairly large city in the
south american country of
Bolivia. She has three
sisters and admits that she
misses her sisters a great
deal. ‘“We are very close,’’
she tells us.
A Bolivian high school
graduate, Maria came to the
U.S. to improve her English.

She plans to work as a
bilingual secretary upon
returning to her home.
Before coming to Marietta,
she worked as a teacher’s
aide in her mother’s kinder-
garten class.

many friends and relatives
in the United States, and
Penny laughs, saying,

A very likeable yeung
