Main street, Mount Joy
has lost three businesses
within the past few weeks.
Ordinarly business closings
are not top billing in the
news but the fact that there
are several within a short
time is worthy of mention.
Wolf Ford Sales and Ser-
vice, successor to Clarence
Herr, virtually closed its
doors several weeks ago
but on January 1 discontin-
ued business altogether,. con-
solidating the operation in
Mount Joy with its Lancast-
er business.
John Way closed his Main
street store January 1.
Last Saturday was the fin-
al day for the Mount Joy A
& P. store.

only one access to the new

It’s a rather small thing
but a recent routine mainten-

Railroad has eliminated a
very serious traffic hazard.

At the intersection of Hen-

hedge grows at the southeast
corner. Every couple of years
the hedge gets so high and
so thick that motorists ap-
proaching from the east
along Henry street can not
see other cars come north on
Market over the bridge until
there is danger of a collision.

: ‘Of This and That’
Is January the month of
“winter doldrums’ for you?
Does life seem suddenly
dull and uninteresting, and
you begin to count the days
until spring activities can be
started?
If that’s the way January
seems to you, stale and unin-
viting, here are a few sug-
gestions for putting zest back
into life! Take your choice—
one or two probably would
be sufficient to give you a
completely fresh outlook on
the world!
Have the winter tv pro-
grams all begun to look
alike? Don’t turn the set on
at all for a whole week —
and in the interim, read
“from cover to cover’ the
January issues of all the ma-
gazines to which you sub-
scribe !
Have you cooked and bak-
: ed all your favorite recipes,
and still find yourself with a
“winter jaded” appetite?
Break your pattern of groc-
ery shopping—go to a differ-
ent store, just for a change—-
and you'll get new ideas for
meal planning and cooking.
Or, call a friend and say,
“What are you fixing for
dinner tonight?” And what-
ever she says, cook the same
thing, regardless’
Have you read every maga-
zine and book in the house?
Then spend a couple of after-
noons this week at the Mt.
Joy Library, browsing among
by the editor's wife
the many fascinating books
and periodicals there.
Do your clothes all have a
much “too familiar” look a-
bout them? Go on a shopping
spree, even if it’s only for
material for a demin jumper,
a new pair of nylons, or may-
be a pair of fresh white
gloves!
Does the house look some-
what ‘beat’”’ after all the
holiday activity? (It isn’t dir-
ty, you KNOW, for it got a
good pre-Christmas cleaning.)
But it looks forlorn, just the
same, with the Christmas
tree gone and the decorations
all packed away. Wash the
throw rugs, polish the win-
dows, wax a few of the big-
ger picces of furniture. And
lo! The doldrums are gone!
Pamper yourself -a bit.
Feed your hobby, whatever it
is! If it’s music, buy a new
album for the hi-fi; if it's
sewing, make something
PRETTIER than it is PRAC-
TICAL: if it’s painting, get a
new canvas board and put a
January snow scene on it—or
even better, paint from mem-
ory the roses of June! If it’s
woodworking, “antiquing”,
reading, collecting stamps or
coins, building model cars,
boats or miniature railroads
—whatever your interest, in-
dulge yourself by giving your
hobby a little extra time.
Or, if you have been pam-
pering yourself right along,

Just Too Much Beaston!
Too much Beaston!
That is the complete story
of how Donegal high’s unde-
feated record went down the
drain Tuesday night at Col-
umbia.
One could not
say that Columbia defeated
the Indians. One more cor-
rectly would be obliged to
say that big Chip Beaston
was the responsible character.
He blasted the nets for a
huge 36-point total, pushing
’em through with such regul-
arity and at psychological
times to crush the Tribe. On
defense, he had things his
own way holding Donegal’s
rightfully
John Brown to a disappoint-
ing 12 points.
Not only did Chip turn out
to be a giant Tuesday in oi-
fensive and defensive action.
He was a spark which jump-
ed the Tide into an early
and undeniable victory.
The final count was 79 to
42,
Rice topped the Donegal
scoring with 13 points.
The Indians now show 9
and 1 for the season with 5 -
1 in league play.
Friday nigth the Tribe
plays host to Manheim Twp.
and next Tuesday goes to
Northeastern.
