‘“‘Rome Mill’ by Donegal student Jon Horst
Donegal’s J. Horst honored as artist
Jon Horst, a senior art
major at Donegal High
School, was recently hon-
ored as one of 12 county art
students who had their work
chosen for the 1981 Com-
monwealth National Bank
Calendar.
The calendar features pen
and ‘ink drawings with
Lancaster County themes.
Jon’s work depicts the
historic Rome Mill in Lititz.
Jon and his teacher, Mrs.
Linda Ross, were guests of
the bank at a luncheon held
at the Hamilton Club. The
Letter to the Editor:
Reflection on fall election
Letter to the Editor:
Discretion being the bet-
ter part of valor, I'm ready
to accept the ‘‘Debacle of
the Democrats’’ known as
Election Day 1980. Follow-
is my dish of crow:
It’s been three weeks
since election day and no
one has yet showed up to
hear my concession speech.
I listened to President
Carter’s, Mr. Mondale’s,
Pete Flaherty’s and others,
so I figured people would
want to hear mine. I waited
and waited but no one
showed up. Maybe in all the
excitement 1 was simply
overlooked. I won’t make a
fuss about it, but since it’s
already prepared I hate to
let it go to waste.
First, to the non-winners.
So we picked a loser. . . .so
what? We gave it our best
shot and anyway, crow
doesn’t taste so bad. Have
no regrets and don’t be
ashamed about losing. No
one can say that winning
isn’t important, but equally
important is the fact that we
took a stand. We must now
pick up the pieces, examine
our premises, and start over
again. We must determine
how our convictions can be
useful to the country, then
get about the business of
getting involved again.
Now to the winners.
Congratulations! To the
victor go the spoils. Enjoy
your success. Savor the
sweet taste of victory. When
this euphoric feeling thins
out, take a deep breath and
get your act on the road. I
will heartily support you
when you're right and just
as heartily fight you when
you're wrong.
To the indifferent, I say
you are living dangerously.
You are depending on
others to do your thinking
for you, to vote for you.
Contrary to some experts,
indifference is not an
acceptable choice. Doing
nothing is not a positive act.
calendar was unveiled at the
luncheon, in the presence of
many Lancaster officials,
including Mayor Morris.
The calendar can be
purchased at any branch
office of Commonwealth
Bank for $1.50.
It would be interesting to
know how many of you who
refused to vote because
‘‘the choices were bad’’ also
chose not to vote in the
primaries. If there are any
losers in this election, it is
you.
Finally, to all of us, the
winners, the non-winners,
the indifferent. There are no
losers in our system. . . .we
are all winners. How can
anyone be a loser who lives
in a country where even the
poor are rich, where every-
one can do or not do, be or
not be, however he chooses?
There are no losers in a
country where freedom is a
sacred trust and political
parties are only custodians
of that trust, where the rich
and powerful are still known
only as mister of Mrs., not
as ‘‘your majesty.”’ If we're
all winners we must be
doing something right, so
let’s count our blessings and
keep moving ahead.
Peace,
Ben Thompson
