An enthusiastic crowd esti-
mated at between 1,000 and 1,-
500, gathered at the Mount Joy
fire house Saturday night to
write success to the Retail Mer-
chants promotion which was
initiated during Community
Exhibit week and carried for-
ward through last week.
Thirty-one gifts were award-
ed to the holders of the more
than 19,000 tickets distributed.
Contrary to the fears of sponsor-
ing merchants that the drawing
might take a considerable time,
all of the prizes had been claim-
ed after one hour and five min-
utes.
Only 53 tickets were
for the 31 gifts, which
ed an exceptionally good
of public participation.
Numerous comments were
heard regarding the efficiency
which Earl Koser as master of
ceremonies and Miller Wolge-
muth as assistant handled the
event. Miss Joanne Demmy,
Miss Donegal of 1954, drew the
numbered tickets.
One of the evenings high-
lights was the presentation of a
check for $100 to the Donegal
high school band for its band
uniforms. The check was pre-
sented by Adam H. Greer, co-
chairman with Samuel Bals-
baugh of the Retail Merchants
division of the Chamber of Com-
merce. ’
