P.P.&L.
Again Offers
Scholarships |
Pennsylvania Power & Light |
Company will again offer a ser- |
ies of six scholarships to deserv- |
ing young people within its ser- |
vice area, Chas E. Oakes, PP&L
president, announced today.
In announcing continuation |
of the scholarship program, Mr. |
Oakes pointed out that it has a- |
gain been designed to achieve a |
twofold purpose—to provide
educational opportunity for loc- |
al young people and to give fi- |
nancial assistance to Central |
Eastern Pennsylvania’s indepen- |
dent colleges and universities.
The dual-purpose scholarship,
Mr. Oakes said, is gaining im-
mensely in popularity as more
and more of the nation’s busi-
nesses and industries come to
realize that ‘‘the contributions
education has made to every as-
pect of our culture instill in
each member of our society,
whether individual or corporate, |
a definite responsibility for its
continuous development.”
Pennsylvania Power & Light
Company, Mr. Oakes added,
was highly pleased with the re-
sponse to its initial scholarship
offering and attributed its popu-
larity to three factors—first,
competition was open to young
men and young women; second, '
scholarship winners were given
a choice of 16 colleges and uni-
versities within the PP&L ser- |
vice area; and third, scholarship
recipients were free to pursue
any course of study they desired |
so long as it led to a baccalaur- |
eate ‘degree. All three provisions
are retained in this year’s pro-
gram.
Each scholarship will again
provide $500 per year toward:
the tuition of the scholarship
winner, while an additional
$500 will be paid to the college
or university he or she attends]
for use ‘‘toward realization of
the institution’s educational ob-
jectives.” At least one scholar- |
| this week. He was
ship will again be reserved for
the son or daughter of an em- |
ployee of PP&L or its subsidi- |
aries
The selection of the grantees
for the new series of scholar- |
ships is in the hands of an inde-
pendent Scholarship Awards
Committee composed of Mr. Ni-
chol H. Memory, Director of
Admissions, Stevens Institute of
Tcchnology, Dr. Kenneth H.
Condit, former dean of the en-
gineering school at Princeton
University and Dr. Charles C.
Tillinghas, principal - emeritus,
Horace Mann School. This is the
second year of service for this
same. committee.
Seven area young people are
currently studying at Central
Eastern Pennsylvania institutios
of higher learning under terms
of last year's PP&L scholarship
program. The number of 1954 a-
wards, Mr. Qakes pointed out,
was increased to seven last year

A newly formed basketball
team has been organized to rep-
| resent Mount Joy in the Indus-

ding player at Manheim, Donald
Geib, Earl Shuman, Harry Her-

team also gained Hen Klugh,
captain of last year’s Mt. Joy
Eastern Regional Champions;
Also Ben Clinger and Bill Zim-
merman star players on the

have been or will be spent on
new schools here within, the

township in Lancaster County
where nothing has been done
about the one-room school situ-
ation.
He stressed the need for ele-
mentary teachers and quoted a
New York columnist as saying
there is a need for 63,000 addi-
tional teachers. He also said
that Lancaster County needs a
means for educating the below-
normal intelligent child.

Helps Catch Forger
A York County resident is be-
ing held for investigation by the
Lancaster state police after he
was caught in Elizabethtown
following the opening of a bank
account in the Florin branch of
the Mount Joy First National
Bank and Trust Company with
a worthless check.
According to Warren Bentzel,
manager of the bank, the Delta
R2, York County man, said that
he wished to transfer his ac-
count from the Barnett National
Bank of Jacksonville, Florida
and asked for a blank check to
be made out in the amount of
$628.00 and drawn on the Flori-
da bank. Bentzel checked with a
Florin family whom he said he
knew and the members inform-
ed him he had served jail sen-
tences for forging checks. Bent-
zel immediately called the Lan-
caster State Police for help and
also called the Florida bank on-
lv to learn that there was no ac-
count here for the man.
