Mount Joy community de-
serves to be congratulated on
the way it observed Hallo-
ween this year!

Although there were a-few
rough places during the pre-
Halloween season, generally
speaking the vandalism was
at a minimum. The prank
players kept within bounds
and property damage was at
a minimum.

Let's assume that there
were two reasons — the boys
and girls were being a little
more considerate and their
parents were keeping their
youngsters under control and
secondly, the police depart-
ment had a good, stout force
of officers on the streets.

To discuss how the officers
worked would be to reveal a
trade secret. Suffice it to say
that the officers, both uni-
formed and plain clothes,
were well organized.

The “trick or treat” crowd,
meaning the little ones, with
few exceptions held their ac-
tivities to the single night
decreed by Mayor Walter. It
was an improvement over
the week or 10-day siege of
other years.

Then on Thursday night,
despite the threatening wea-
ther, the+Lions club staged
Mount Joy’s biggest and best
Halloween parade.

It toek 50 minutes for the
eight-band parade to pass a
given point and from the
beautifully-matched Penna.
State Police horses to the
Zembo Drum & Bugle Corps,
the parade was a dandy.

In connection with the dis-

D.H.S. Shares Grid Crown
This Is The Step Which Gave ’Em The Pep
A scoring champ takes off! Roger Grove, Donegal high school's ace halfback, leaves
a Columbia would-be tackler empty handed and frustrated as he tucks the ball under his
arm and looks upfield—seeking the best path toward the goal.
He scored two of Done-
gal’s touchdowns and tossed another touchdown pass Saturday, as the Indians won, 20-0,
over the Tide. In a way, the above picture tells the story of the 1963 Donegal grid season.
A fast, shifty runner with an uncanny eye for picking his way through a broken field,
Grove has stacked up the 1963 Conference of Roses scoring title and has led the Indians
to their best season in football history—a third share of the championship

Council Meets In Private With Lawyer
Mount Joy Borough Coun-
cil meeting was a two-part
affair Monday night as mem-
bers held an hour and a half
November meeting and then
followed with an hour's exe-
cutive, closed-door parley
with its solicitor.
In neither session was sig-
nificant business transacted,
Action was taken to buy
900 feet of snow fence, at a
price of $8.30 per 50 foot
roll, to place along Pinkerton
road in an effort to cut
down drifting snow prob-
lems in that area.
To provide figures for qua-
lifying for state and county
aid for street repairs, a cen-
sus must be taken of the
Mount Joy area which was
recently annexed, President
George Groff said.
The council voted to pay
10 cents per name. It was es-
timated that there will be ap-
proximately 1,500 people lis-
ted. The enumeration is to
be completed before the end
of the year.
Elmer Forwood, south
Market ave., was named to
take the census.
Approval was given for a
$5,000 tax anticipation loan,
needed to meet current ex-
penses until other revenue
becomes available.
A matter of police working
hours was brought to the at-
tention of the council by
Mayor Frank Walter. He
pointed out that the two
members of the police force
are now working approxi-
mately 60 hours on regular
schedule and are on call ev-
en longer.
To eliminate the problem,
he said that it will be neces-
sary to add another man to
the force. He added that he
believes that the borough can
have more service without
an increase of taxes.
He pointed out that there
is more area and that there
are more people for whom
the borough must provide
safety and protection since
the annexation. It was point-
ed out that a three-man force
automatically becomes civil
service regulated.
The matter was directed to

1963 Conference of Roses
championship.
It was a wonderful climax
to the eight-game league
schedule and the fact that
Manheim Township and Red
Lion share top billing takes
little of the lustre from the
glory.
With still one game remain-
ing—Saturday at Manheim
Central—Donegal has eight
triumphs and a single loss
for the season. Only Red
Lion can match that record.
So many years has Donegal
finished so far down the list
that recitation of the record
is too painful to mention.
But 1963 was different —

‘Of This and That’

This week's column will
be a “potpourri”’— a collect-
ion of completely unrelated
items of interest.
“Unrelated,” that ex-
cept that the first two do con-
cern the famed Donegal In-
dians’ football team, which is
sharing the Conference of
Roses championship this
year with Red Lion and Man-
heim Twp.!
It seems that at the Eliza-
bethtown game in October
there was a young married
couple in the large crowd.
The boy was an E-town grad-
uate, the .girl a graduate of
Donegal.
The outcome of the game
put a severe ‘strain on the
family tie” — to the extent
that the young man said,

more!”
