The Refinishing
Of Furniture Is
Beahm’s Hobby
Comparatively few men can
keep plugging at their regular
vacation day after day and week
after week. Matters are bound
to get monotonous sooner or
later, so naturally one seeks a
change- something different, be
it fishing, hunting, golfing or
what have you?
For our high school principal,
Mr, Wilbur I. Beahm its refinish-
furniture, a hobby he acquired
back in 1937 when he decided that
an’ old “pie-crus” takle of his
needed refinishing. A shop
teacher classified the table as a
valuable antique and encouraged
Mr. Beahm to refinish it himself.
The result was that Mr.” Beahm
produced a brilliant new walnut
finish on the 200 year old table.
Six hickory chairs which had

Mt. Joy Lost State
Class C PIAA
Championship
Mount Joy High School basket-
ball aggregation, Eastern Regional
champions in Class C lost the State
Championship to Fredonia, Western
Champions, at Lebanon Tuesday
night by the narrow margin of six
points—but they went down fight-
in’,
Craig, Fredonia’s six-foot, five-
inch center, gave the winners such
a commanding lead in the first
quarter, 17 to 5, that it could not
be overcome. Mount Joy, however,
did get within one point of tieing
the score. But for the first quarter
the locals completely outplayed the
winners.
During the next three periods of
the game Mount Joy was never
outscored. They had a 13-10 advan-
tage in the second period, held even
11-all in the third and were on top
again in the fourth period, 14-11.
