. by RH. A. R. In this month’s ‘“Reader’s Digest” appears a story en- titled, “The Lord Loves Char- ly, and Vice Versa.” ® © eo It deals with the fabulous, and faithful, growth of the Farm School at Glenlock, Pa., on Route 30. Many have seen the school as they come and go to Philadelphia, but probably few know that Dr. Charles W. Shreiner, an Epis- copalian minister, was born in Mount Joy. ®e o ® Charly, as he prefers to call himself, was born here but moved to Lancaster when six or seven years of age. He attended Yeates school and was an altar boy at St. James Episcapal church. $ @ é The school, which now has about 150 boys, is the realiza- tion of a dream — a school for boys from broken homes. The school truly is a faith project and a growing testi- mony to the goodness and greatness of an Almighty God to a dedicated man. : oe o ° Dr. Charly—now 8l1—is in the West Chester County hos- pital at West Chester and not in good health. He has at least one relative living in Mount Joy and an 85-year- old brother in Washington, D. C. A son is now head of the school. ® ® @ One day last week Henry G.. Carpenter brought into the Bulletin a bound file of the ‘“Anti-Masonic Herald” which covered parts of the years 1828 and 1829. An in- teresting, ancient and musty piece of journalism, it was a fascinating piece of history. : ® © % For instance, an advertise- ment indicated that one could board the stage in Lan- caster at 4 am., and for $3, be in Philadelphia that same night. ® © o Jean Darrenkamp Jury discovered a one paragraph item in the July 24, 1829 pa- per saying that on ‘“‘the 15th of August, next’ there would be a laying of the corner- stone of the “new Lutheran church in “Mountjoy.” ® © # There was to be preaching in both English and German by several visiting ministers. ® © & That would have been the cornerstone for the Lutheran church which stood on south Barbara street. ® oo © Maybe we should note that the Elizabethtown fire, a week ago last Thursday, which destroyed Leedpak’s plant, is believed to have started in part of a machine built in Mount Joy.

Troop Two local Boy Scouts, both members of the ‘“Rambunc- tious Raven Patrol” at the sixth National Boy Scout Na- tional Jamboree in Valley Forge returned to Mount Joy Friday. William Sprecher, patrol leader, Mitchell Albert, and six other Lancaster county scouts took third place na- tional honors among the 52,- 000 Scouts encamped in Val- ley Forge in the physical fit- ness competition. Medals were presented to the eight for first winning the area competition. The patrol went on to capture national hon- ors. The national medals were presented personally to the eight by Joseph A. Brun- ton, Jr., National Scout Exe- cutive. To Bill and Mitch, this was a highlight of their eight days. Other highlights of the Jamboree for the boys: seeing President Lyndon Johnson, taking part in the scheduled activities, and meeting Scouts from other states and coun- tries. The boys were mem- bers of Troop 58 which was composed of all boys from Lancaster county. Their troop leader was I. Diller Miller, Quarryville. (Mr. Miller had 58 was located across the road from the general head- quarters. Their Conestoga wagon laden with free pretz- els and folders about the county, their hex sign design- ed fence and gateway, and their hex signed painted tents were visited by count- less numbers of visitors and were the subjects for count- less numbers of photographs. Another feature of the Jamboree in which the boys took part was the customary swapping. In place of the Amish hats, patches symbolic of the county, kerchief slides and other items that the boys took, they now have cowboy hats and representative pat- ches and slides from other parts of the country and world. Both boys are members of local troop No. 39 with Har- old Etsell as the Scoutleader. Mr. Etsell as well as some of the Scouts of the troop visit- ed the Jamboree last week. If we treat our friends as if they already are what they are capable of becoming we help them make the vision into an actuality.
