Someone asked the other
day, ‘‘What’s this new
mechanical garbage truck
the borough is buying?”
® @ oe
That's a good question and
deserves an answer. Maybe
there are others who do not
know,
® oe o
The new garbage truck
is far more than a ‘‘truck”.
In fact, what makes the
truck something special is
the equipment mounted on a
big stout truck. The borough
council was informed that
the special bed, which is
expensive, will outlast sev-
eral trucks and can be re-
moved and remounted from
old to new.

The special body is a
huge tank-type piece of ma-
chinery with a hopper at
tached on the back. Work-
men pick up the garbage,
trash or what have you,
dump it in the hopper and
then pull a lever.

Hydraulic power takes ov-
er and the hopper is dump-
ed into the big inside com-
partment and then (inside
out of sight) more automatic
power pieces compress the
material into the smallest
possible space. -

Later, at the land fill, when
the truck is ready to be

tire load.

The arrangement will
make possible faster pickups,
and thus cut down man
hours. Each load will include
more garbage and waste than
at’ present. Fewer hours will
be involved in driving to
and from the landfill and

About Interchanges
The battle of the inter-
changes was joined Monday
night, March 22, at the
Friendship Fire Hall!
Although a somewhat pas-
sive, non-explosive battle,
the matter of where to lo-
cate the interchanges along
the proposed, new bypass
saw first action as the Cham-
ber of Commerce sponsored
a public meeting to discuss
the new highway project.
At present, state highway
engineers locate three inter-
changes in the immediate vi-
cinity.
One is drawn immediately

‘Of This and
That’
by the editor's wife
March is a month of many
moods! In its first 23 days
we have had rain, fog, snow,
frequent winds, balmy days,
and bitter cold.
It would almost seem as
+ if March were trying our
winter-weary patience to the
utmost, to determine if we
are worthy of the glorious
springtime that is certain to
be “just around the corner”
in April!
March, as always, has had
its days of note, too. First
came the ‘Ides of March,”
on the 15th, that day which
in ancient times was ill-
omened, when dire things
could happen and often did.
On March 17th, the Irish
paraded in New York; sons
of Erin wore something
green, and Irish jokes were
the order of St. Patrick’s
Day. ,
March 20 was the official
“first day of spring,” when
the days and nights were of
equal length, and the sun
rose squarely in the. east and
set squarely in the west.
On a personal basis, March
has its significance, too.
March 19 would have been

where the new bypass would
leave present Route 230; a
second is marked on Cedar
Tree road, just north of the
Henry Garber farm, and a
third is plotted on the Her-
shey - Elizabethtown road,
where that highway is cross-
ed by a big power line.
Various alternatives were
mentioned, including the
possibility of a partial or
complete interchange at the
bypass intersection with the
Mount Joy - Manheim road.
Manheim people
present at the meeting.
Lester Hostetter, retiring
president of the Mount Joy
Chamber of Commerce, was
in charge of the meeting.
Using maps, Edward Dan-
iels, highway planner for the
Lancaster County Planning
commission, explained the
project, indicated what has
been done on the project and
predicted some of the
things which will follow the
hearing this week in Eliza-
bethtown (Thursday, March
25, 10 a.m. at the Elizabeth-
town high school).
He said that the planning
commission at the hearing
will endorse the bypass plan
but will not recommend spe-
cific interchanges. The en-
dorsement will cover the
were
ding ceurridor” through which
the highway will pass but
will recommend further stu-
dy as to number, locations
and spacing of interchanges.
He indicated the need for
traffic counts on highways in
the area. It was his personal
opinion that the corridor will
not shift much from its pres-
ent plotted course.
Approximately 100 people
attended the meeting and
were very interested in see-
ing the proposed routing.
The state, finally will mark a
260-ft. right of way for the
4-lane highway, which will
include a 60-ft. medial strip.
The highway will be 50 per-
cent financed by federal
funds.
It was pointed out that
some Elizabethtown people
are interested in having the
Cedar Tree road interchang-
ed moved to the Colebrook
road.
SEVEN CENTS
D.H.S. Students
In Regional
Four Donegal high school
vocalists participated last
weekend in the regional
high school Choral Festival,
held March 18 to 20 at Ab-
ington, Pa. A fifth student
was eligible but was unable
to take part.
Nearly 200 boys and girls
participated in the event,
which featured concerts both
Friday and Saturday nights.
At the first one, Caralyne
Blantz, a senior, singing a
soprano number from ‘“Mad-
am Butterfly,” was one of
the featured vocalists.
~ Others at Abington in-
cluded: Kathleen Brown,
senior, soprano; Lucy Eshel-
man, junior, soprano, and
Harold Smith, senior, bass.
Ted Fellenbaum, also bass,
was eligible to participate
but had a part in the Junior
class play.
All participated in the
27th district contest on Feb.
25 - 27 at Wrightsville. A
sixth D.H.S. student at that
event was Dale Heisey.
On Sunday, March 21,
Smith, Miss Blantz and Jo-
anne Gish, also a Donegal
mugician, were invited as
outstanding senior music stu-
dents to attend the annual
honor meeting of the Lan-
caster County Music Educa-

Plan Vesper Service
For Memorial Day
A new program is being
added this year to the annual
Mount Joy Memorial Day
celebration.
George Albert, co-chair-
man of the long week-end of
activities, announced this
week that on Sunday night,
May 30, vesper services will
be held in Memorial park.
Arrangements are in the
hands of the local ministerial
association.
“There are two ways of
spreading light—to be the
candle, or the mirror that
reflects it.”
Some of the greatest boun-
ces are the result of the fall
that pride went before.

Picked For All-County
Donegal high school bask
etball fans have known it
all along. But, now it is of-
ficial that Jack Rice is all-
county.
For those who saw the 5-
foot 2-inch senior in action
there was no doubt but that
he deserved to be named to
the select list of ball players
in the county for the past
season.
Last week 15 coaches
named the mythical team
and Rice was named by 13
of the men balloting.
He tied with Chip Beaston
of Columbia, who was num-
one reason Donegal during
its entire 1964-65 season
bowed only to the boys from
along the river.
Rice was an outstanding
all-around player, scoring
368 points for an average of
19.6 per game and setting a
hot defensive pace.
While Rice was one of the
top five men in the county
in the coaches’ balloting an-
other Donegal strong man,
John Brown—Ilanded a place
on the second five.
Big John was well liked
by the men who directed the
school boy players this past
season.
A 6 foot, 4-inch senior, he
has played some tremendous
basketball for the Indians
and teamed well with Rice
throughout the season to give
the Green a one-two scoring
punch which was hard (lo
stop.
In fact, Donegal’s 17 wing
against the two Columbia de-
feats were more likely to be
whopping, one-sided victor-
ies. Only against their own
Alumni were they forced to
a one-point win.
Other victories ranged
from five to 35 points and
more.
There were games in which
the scoring blasts of the two
totaled considerably more
than the entire opposition
team was able to count. And
that’s not to overlook = the
