Action On Joint
School Building
Importance of speeding comple=
tion of a new school building
planned by the newly formed
Donegal Joint High School Board,
was emphasized by Dr. Edwin W,
Cruttenden, educational consultant
of an Engineering Corporation,
York, at a meeting with the board.
Dr. Cruttenden pointed out that
the elementary school buildings in
Mount Joy Borough and East Don-
egal Township should ke abandoned
as soon as humanly possible be-
cause they are antiquated and in a
state of disrepair. With completion
of a new building, he said, these
elementary pupils could be trans-
ferred to more modern buildings
now being used for high school
purposes.
The new joint school board, or=-
ganized at a meeting Tuesday night!
comprises Mount Joy and Marietta
boroughs and East Donegal Twp.

Two Women Get
Damages From a
Native of Mt. Joy
Two Georgia women asked dam-
ages for injuries sustained in an
airplane crash at Common Pleas
Court “opened at Lancaster on
Monday.
Mrs. Myrtle Williams and Mrs.
Wanna B. Erion, hoth of Sea Is-
land, Ga., asked the damages from
John L. Brandt, formerly of this
borough, now living in Merion, O.
The two women charged that
they hired Brandt to take them
for a plane ride at a fee of $3 each
at Sea Island Feb. 1, 1949. The
plane, an amphibious craft, hit a
mud bank and crashed into a
marsh, they charged. They said
they each sustained a broken back.
John W. Beyer, attorney for the
women, charged in his address to
the jury, that Brandt was negligent
because he tried to take off in too
short a space with too heavy a
load. John A. Yingst, Coatesville,
was among those testifying. Eu-
gene E. Schubeth represented
Brandt.
Court attaches said it was the
first case involving airplane acci-
dent injuries ever
the county court.
The jury awarded the two wo-
men $6,600 damages.

17 Head of Cattle
3 Pigs Are Starving
Near Mount Joy
Many of you, at some time or
other, while traveling thru isolated
sections, saw horses, cattle or hogs
that looked as though they were
underfed. You could actually
“count their ribs” as the saying
goes,
But how many of you ever re-
alized that right here in good old
Lancaster county —the land of
plenty — and within two miles of
Mount Joy, all the live stock on a
farm is half starved. The facts are
best described in the following art-
icle taken from the Lancaster New
Era.
Warren E. Broome, special agent
for the Lancaster County Humane
League, labeled the conditions on
the farm of Raymond Davis, near
Salunga, “the most deplorable I
have ever seen in the two years I
have had this job.”
Broome, accompanied by Con-
stable Anthony Madonna, was
greeted by 17 half-starved cattle,
three vicious, starving pigs and an
emaciated dog when he threw open
the door of the stable.
A dead heifer was found in a ma-
nure pile outside, and nearby was
a half-eaten dead dog.
Broome was told that several of
the pigs and calves had tried to de-

Developments On
New Joint School
In an article relative to a meet-
ing of the newly-formed Done-
gal Joint High School Board, else-
the Bulletin, it will be
seen that Dr. Edwin Cruttenden,
educational consultant of an En-
| gineering corporaticn, called atten-
tion to the poor condition of the
Grade School buidings here and at
Maytown.
We have reason to believe that
the building needs repairs and im-
provements and in calling atten-
tion to several directors of our lo-
cal School Board, they were of the
same opinion and here's the reason.
If and when a new school build-
ing is erected somewhere in the
district, all the pupils in our High
School building would be trans-
ferred. After that all the Grade
school pupils would be transferred
to our present High school building.
Spending much money on our
Grade building with the aforemen-
tioned possibility staring them in
the face, the Directors seem to
think is not good house-keeping.
If nothing develops, the Board
where in
contemplates making important
changes and improvements to the
building.
