Old-fashioned lumberjack competition .
i
at Susquehanna Developers, Cola .
Saturday, November 15,
Susquehanna Developers
will host an old-fashioned
lumberjack competition be-
tween two volunteer fire
companies in Columbia.
Members of Vigilant Fire
Company and Fire Company
#1 will test their strength
and agility in wood splitting,
log throwing, rope climbing,
log walking and a tug of
war.
Susquehanna Developers
will contribute $200 to the
building fund of the winning
fire company, and $50 to the
“loser.”
Fire company food stands
will supply refreshments at
half price to spectators.
They will be able to offer
food bargains at the compe-
tition courtesy of Susque-
hanna Developers, who will
pick up the tab for S0% of all
food sales.
In addition to the lumber-
jack competition there will
be talks and demonstrations
on safe use and installation
of wood stoves, and fire-
fighting equipment from
Vigilant Fire Company will
be on display.
Everyone attending the
demonstrations will receive
a free gift, a pen, from
Susquehanna
Some of the pens will have
ink in special colors; the
lucky people who sign in
with special colors will also
receive door prizes of wood
stove accessories.
The lumberjack com-
petition will take place from
10 am to 2 pm at
Susquehanna Developers on
Route 462 in Columbia,
across from the Columbia
Plaza Shopping Center.
Plenty of free parking, and
the public is invited.

heated water into the
regular heater. This cuts
down on the Rileys’ hot
water costs.
The hot water system is a
black tank which contains 80
gallons of water. Sunlight
brings the temperature to
100 degrees.
The greenhouse also
heats the house directly.
The greenhouse and the
water heater have cut the
Rileys’ fuel costs by one
third.
There is one other
advantage to having the
solar greenhouse. Mrs.
Riley keeps her tomatoes,
some other garden vege-
tables and some house
plants in the greenhouse.
We at Susquehanna have
had the pleasure of tasting
some of her greenhouse-
started vegetables, and
must confess that they are
delicious.
Donegal Cheerleaders!
“No one ever takes our photograph,’’ moaned the
Donegal High School cheerleaders recently. Our
photographer, not wishing to see the lovely young ladies

The Schock Presbyterian Home, 37 East Main Street, Mount Joy, was the scene of
an annual Harvest Home open house and tea last Sunday. Residents had a chance to
show off their many crafts and projects to the many guests who filtered through the
home between 2 and 4 in the afternoon. On display was a huge map of the United
States, tracing with yam the travels of all Schock residents. Cookies, tea, funnel
cakes and popcorn were also served to guests and residents.
