The Advantages of
A Larger Local
High School
This is the last of a series of
essays written by Ninth Graders
at East Donegal High School.
By Avis Shetter
Lately, there has been much dis-
cussion of a larger high school
which would involve Mount Joy,
Marietta and East Donegal. When
we think of a larger high school
the first thought that comes to our
minds is that of consolidation. By
consolidation we mean combining
the high schools of our surround-
ing communities into one building
which would be centrally located.
This would mean more students
which in turn would mean more
competition among the students, |
hence, better students.
The building would be a larger,
more modern building. More space
would be provided for a bigger
auditorium, and stage, as cur pres-

CLARENCE E. GOLDEN ADMITS
TAKING $2,112 FROM WORKER
Clarence E. Golden, eighteen,
Elizabethtown R1, was committed
to County Prison Saturday after-
noon, following his arrest by Cpl.
Mark Morgan of the State Police on
a charge of larceny.
Golden confessed that he had sto-
len $2,112 from a fellow-worker,
Calvin C. TLompson, Quarryville
R2. Both men worked and lived on
the farm of Jay R. Lefever, Quar-
ryville R2, who reported the theft
to State Police after Thompson in-
formed him Saturday morning that
the money had disappeared during
the night.
At first Golden denied the theft
but later led police to a small radio
where he had hidden 20 bills of
$100 denomination and four $20
bills. The additional $32 cash was
found in his pockets.
Thompson missed the
from his trousers pocket when he
arose Saturday morning.
Union SS Picnic
At Hershey Park
Tuesday, Aug. 1st
Next Tuesday, August 1st, is an-
nual Union Sunday School picnic
day at Hershey Park, for residents
of Mount Joy, Florin, Newtown
and community.
Busses will be furnished by the
Penn Highway Transit Co., and will
leave Mt. Joy at 8:30, 9:00 and 10:00
a.m., and will leave Hershey at 7:00,
8:00, 9:00 and 10:00 in the evening.
Busses will take on passengers at
the following stops, Union National
Mt. Joy Bank, First National Bank
and Trust Co. all in Mt. Joy and
the former bank building in Florin.
The same stops will be made on the
return trip.
All persons going to the picnic,

An automobile operated by Wil-

gasoline at Ralph Walter's service
station and was driving away when
his bumper caught onto the pump
and pulled it over. Broken electric
wiring in the pump caused a shart

The pump, which was destroyed
by the blaze, fell directly over a
