Will Give
NY Concert
One hundred and six Don-
egal high school bandsmen,
including majorettes, will
participate next Tuesday,
May 11, in an hour's concert
at the New York World's
Fair,
The group will perform
from the famous Tiparillo
band stand between 10:45 a.
m. and 11:45 a.m., playing a
concert presented last Satur-
day night at the high school
auditorium.
Director Morrell Shields
said this week that the con-
cert will be amplified thru-
out the fairgrounds as desir-
ed by the Fair people next
Tuesday.
There will be three busses
of musicians and other band
personnel, accompanied by a
fourth bus which will trans-
port members of the Band
Parents Club, who are spon-
soring the trip.
All will leave early Tues-
day morning and return to
Mount Joy late Tuesday
night.
An invitation to play a
concert in New York was re-
ceived last fall directly from
Robert Moses, head of the
fair organization.
The program which will
be a varied one, includes a
flute and clarinet duet by
JoAnn Gish and Jill Schatz,
and a trumpet trio by James
Metzler, Gray Greiner and
Terry Hamilton, accompanied
by George Broske.

Runnerup Champ
In Spelling Bee
Patricia Charles, 14-year-
old eighth grader at Donegal
Annex, is runnerup champ-
ion in the county spelling
bee, held Friday night, April
30, at Abraham Lincoln Jun-
ior high school.
She is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Wilbur Charles, of
822 Bruce Avenue.
Patricia stubbed her toe
on the word ‘‘cardiac”, spel
ling it “cartiac.”
As second best in a field
of 35 from all parts of the
county, Patricia was winner
of several nice prizes, includ-
ing a portable transistor ra-
dio and a two-volume set of
Encyclopedia Brittannica
World Language Dictionar-
ies.
Also, if for some reason
the champion, Margaret Hall,
a 12-year-old at Penn Manor,
cannot fulfill her opportunity
to participate in an all-ex-
pense trip to Washington,
D.C., for the national Spell-
ing Bee, Patricia will be of-
fered the chance.
Walter Rolfs placed 18th
out of 36 contestants. It is
interesting to note that in
the past three years of this
competition, Donegal has fur-
nished a champion, Marianne
Waters, and now a runner-
up.
‘Of This and
That’
by the editor's wife
May is a month of many
activities in Mount Joy. Al-
ready the calendar is almost
full !
Beginning with the Done-
gal May day program Thurs-
day evening, and closing
with the extensive Memorial
Day celebrations, it looks as
if this would be a busy time!
Donegal high school has
many activities scheduled be-
sides the May Day program
-—the band trip to the New
York World's Fair on May
11, the Prom, the Honor
Banquet May 14, to mention
just three!
Sunday will be ‘“Mother’s
Day” in churches and homes
in Mount Joy. There are pia-
no recitals scheduled that we
know of . . . Flea Markets
and Antiques Shows and
sales nearby.
And in between times, ev-
eryone will be working on
lawns and gardens, to have
them at their prettiest and
best when the year reaches
its ‘high tide” in June.
Housecleaning will hit a fren-
zied peak, and hundreds of
gallons of paint will be
spread by both amateurs and
professionals, in the next
few weeks.
Yes, May is a busy time,
but one of the nicest months
of the whole year, we think!

A group of about 100
eighth grade pupils from the
Donegal Annex thought May
was a pretty nice month,
when they left books behind
them on Tuesday of this
week to take a field trip to
the mountains to gather fos-
sils!

ers, and filling three buses,

Plan To Join
Water Systems
A study to determine the
best way of- tying the Mount
Joy and Florin water systems
together is to be undertaken
at once, it was decided Tues-
day night by the Mount Joy
Borough Auhority, holding
its May meeting in the fire
hall.
The Authority’s consult-
ing engineers, Gannett, Flem
ing, Corddry & Carpenter of
Harrisburg, was authorized
to seek the best methods to:
—Lay a connecting line
from the Florin water sys-
tem’s spring to some point on
the Mount Joy system. A 12-
inch pipe is planned.
—Make necessary changes
in the pumping station to
serve the combined systems.
The two phases of the
project are part of the plan
to acquire the Florin Water
system. Financing of both
purchase and construction
are expected to be handled
through the same fiscal ac-
tions.
Reports of progress of in-
stalling sewers in the Florin
area indicate that laying of
pipe is 99 percent completed.
Resurfacing of ditches is
progressing and that con-
struction of a pumping sta-
tion on Donegal Springs road
is about half done.
The Authority is taking
another look at the possibili-
ty of building a sewer line
on west Wood street to serve
about twenty homes. Origin-
ally the Authority was
told that the price of con-
struction would be about
$39,000. Study of the prob-
lem from an entirely new
angle will begin next weck-
end.
A delegation of more than
30 people, residents of East
Donegal and Rapho town-
ships, appeared before the
Authority to question condi-
tions at the sewer disposal
plant and to ask what steps
will be taken and when to
remove sludge now lying in
a lagoon east of the build-
ings.

Many Tons
Tons and tons of dirt,
trash and small stones were
swept from Mount Joy's
streets this week as a rented
piece of equipment toured
the city on Monday and
Tuesday.
The sweeper, accompanied
by a borough truck to haul
the dirt away and a police
officer to keep the streets
cleared of autos, worked
very late Monday night.
This is the second spring
that the borough has taken
part in a “housecleaning” op-
eration, using a rented
sweeper.
The sweeper worked 2014
nours, removing 48 tons of
material from Main street
and a total of 65 tons from
other streets.
Street Committee Chair-
man Simeon Horton said on
Wednesday that almost all
streets in the borough were
swept and he expressed deep
appreciation to the people of
the community for their co-
operation in keeping the
streets clear during the time
the sweeper was working.
