And—the Slowly but feeling of satisfaction is al- most universal, ® © ° We note that many of the people who were not too en- thusiastic about the Florin annexation and sewer pro- jects have already ‘hooked up” and are reported to be happy about the improve- ments. ® © ° Any number of people have told their friends and neighbors how happy they are to have showers and at least partial bathrooms in their basements. ® oo 6 They mention the feeling of security they now have after eliminating sumps in their basements and they are proud of the convenience of having basement drains which allow them to use the hose to scrub down their cel- lars. ® Oo © The convenience and satis- faction, plus the feeling that they now have freelom from sewer problems, has been ex- pressed time after time, ® oo @ Some grumble about the money and some perhaps have been hard hit financial- ly to meet the bills.

Agriculture as a course of study at Donegal high school is no more! The ag rooms and ag shop are closed and being disman- tled and the surplus equip- ment is being offered for sale. Closing of the course came after a long and serious con- sideration of the local situa- tion and after much commu- nity participation in the deci- sion. In the past, enrollment in the ag course has been some- thing near 20 boys and has remained at that figure over a number of years. Last year there were 18 or 19. However, this year, only one boy in the entire school district has indicated that he wants to continue agricul- ture as a high school course of study. He has been transferred to Elizabethtown on a ‘tuition paid” basis by Donegal. Ar- rangements were made with Elizabethtown school officials several weeks ago.

No action on Poplar St. Holds Picnic The spacious lawn of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Heisey, 107 Poplar St., Mount Joy, was the scene of a picnic Sunday afternoon, Sept. 19, for the Poplar street residents.

The following were pres- ent: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ruhl and children Becky, Johnny and Mary Kathleen; Mrs. Raymond Keller, Joe & Andy; Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Miller, Cindy and Keven; Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Eshelman; Mr. and Mrs. Richard Divet; ‘Of This and That’ “The goldenrod is yellow— The corn is turning brown, The trees in apple orchard With fruit are bending down” And beautiful Lancaster County is busy gathering in one of its most bountiful har- vests in several years! Leaves of the tobacco plants are almost unbeliev- ably broad and thick! The corn crop looks unusually tall. Hay is stored away into every nook and cranny of the barns. Tomatoes, peaches, plums, potatoes, apples — all are of superior quality and generous quantity! Truly, “the garden spot” is living up to its reputation this year! * * * In spite of the record breaking heat wave, autumn sneaked into our midst on Tuesday. Green grass and blossoming flowers to the contrary, the season of frost and colored leaves is just a- round the corner! * * *® As we sat-on the cool hill- side of a beautiful farm on Donegal Springs Road Sun- by the editor's wife day afternoon, admiring the horse and the horsemanship of our youngest daughter, we rejoiced that at last she was having the opportunity to en- joy a hobby which she had previously only watched “from afar!” Suddenly it occurred to us that other hobbyists were al- so busy in our vicinity! From our chair, at one and the same time, we could see two boys pedaling their bicycles along Donegal Springs road, a “Honda” rider zipping up and down the hills alongside the farm, and an airplane circling the airport! As we watched, two “sky divers” jumped from the plane and began their graceful journey back to earth! And the master of the farm walked down to the stream with a bucket, to feed the fish which he knew were there! * * * Some time ago we wrote of some of the remarkable “senior citizens” in our midst. This week we want to men- (Turn to page 2) Mr. and Mrs. Elam Brubaker, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hoover Stephen, Cindy and Scott; Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Bridg- ett, Sydney, Romaine and Jonathan; Mr. and Mrs. Dan- iel Brubaker; Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Hawthorne; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lenox, Becky and Billy; Miss Anna Wolgemuth; Miss Eunice Herr; Miss Betty Allison; Bernell Heisey; and Mr. and Mrs. Warren Heisey. The group hopes to make the picnic an annual event. Plan Road Rally The Elegants Car Club of Mount Joy is planning to hold a road rally Sunday, October 3. The rally. will form at approximately 1 p. m. at the Red Rose Dairy Bar, and starting time will be given to each contestant. The rally is open to all driv- ers with valid drivers’ licens- es. An entry fee of $3 per car will be required. This will cover both the driver's and co-pilot’s admission. Tro- phies will be awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place drivers and their co-pilots. A road rally is a contest designed to test a driver’s skill and ability to follow di- rections explicitly, and his ability to recognize signs and clues that will enable him to complete a course in a giv- en time. Each driver is given a map and a series of instruc- tions at the starter’s table. From there he and his co-pil- ot are on their own. They must follow the map and in- structions exactly as they are given to the end of the course A race of this type is design- ed for drivers both young and old and for cars both old and new. Each driver ‘is rac- ing the clock, not all other drivers. The driver that com- pletes the course closest to the time given, wins the race. Rain date is October 10. Board Mountthat matter was taken. Heisey represented Mount Joy township on the board, had been a school director of Mount Joy township and la- ter was a representative of the township in the Dcnegal jointure and now in the Un- ion district. He had served a total of 24 years. No other present member of the board has served as long. Dr. David Schlosser has been a director for 18 years. Heisey has been serving as chairman of the public rela- tions and transportation committees of the beard and was a member of the Lan- caster County School Board. He resigned from the latter post earlier last week. In tendering his resigna- tion, he said that other res- ponsibilities are taking a great deal of his time and en- ergy and that it has been necessary to discontinue some activities. The Board of Education last week awarded a contract to Roy Ressler of Mountville to do certain ventilating ren- ovations in the Annex build- ing at a cost of $1,671, which was the low bid of three sub- mitted. Another repair contract was ordered to be rebid when it was discovered that speci- fications were inadequate. Supervising Principal Wil- bur 1. Beahm said that the district is now transporting several children to the Kray- bill school. They are being picked up along Route 141 by Donegal buses which also pass the Kraybill school without rerouting. To accom- odate the children additional stops are necessary but no mileage is added, he said. Some time ago the board expressed the opinion that perhaps its policy on class trips should be re-evaluated The matter was placed last week into the hands of the committee for study. Two bus shelters, at a cost of approximately $170 each, were ordered built. ENLISTS Brady David Hess, son of Mrs. M. D. Hess, 215 Mariet- ta Ave., has enlisted into the U. S. Army for a period of three years. He enlisted into the Army for schooling in Auto Maintenance and will receive his basic training at Fort Jackson, S. C. Prior to enlisting, Hess was employed by Stehman & Herr’s Service Station. He had attended the Donegal high school. ¢ Lof un } Pe Te! e 100 AUS” Wn us Bs
