Ge SA by R. A. R. Mount Joy has just gone through the difficulties of having many telephone num- ber changed. And-—the entire community has become very conscious that now anyone can call direct to Lancaster, Manheim and a number of other nearby places. ® @ ® It is interesting then to note that by 1968—or at least early in the 1970's — tele- phone service will have de- veloped to such an extent that we can sit in our own homes in Mount Joy and dial directly to almost any tele- phone anywhere in the world © ® @® And, no operator will be necessary to handle the de- tails. It will be as simple as calling Harrisburg or Read- ing. Probably it will be nec- essary to dial 12 digits to complete the call. ® @ @ One of the advantages will be that there will then be no language barrier {o give the operators difficulty. o ® @ How much is a call to Lon- don? Presently it is $12 for the first three. minutes and $4 for each additional min- ute. Elected President Richard W. Sloan, 129 S. Market Street, son of Mr. and Mrs. G.

Tennis Courts Progress Slowly Although slowly, work on six new tennis courts at Donegal high school is pro- gressing and this week the second of several bitumin- ous coatings was being spread. Bids for the work were opened in June and work dragged during the summer. This fall the first coating of blacktopping was laid. After the layer now be- ing applied is finished, it is probable that any similar work will not be continued until in the spring. Accepts Call To New Pulpit The Rev. Donald H. Feick, for four and one-half years rector of the Saint Luke's Episcopal church of Mount Joy, has accepted a call to Smyrna, Delaware.

The Smyra church was founded in 1740 and is am- ong the early congregations in this country. ‘Of This and That’ We had a dream the other night, “when everything was still” We dreamed that the love- lv old pieces of furniture, china, glass and iron, which we have collected during the past two years, began to talk! Such a chatter and such a clatter! “Imagine to do but pair of well-scrubbed irons said. “It’s much more comfort- able here in the living room than it was in the cold ‘par- lor’ where I used to be kept,” mused a rose-carved rose- wood Victorian side chair, which came from a Balti- more sea captain's mansion. “I feel wanted and needed once again,” said the tall, burled-walnut -secretary, as it opened and closed a tiny drawer with a small white china knob. “These folks have me filled with all sorts of interesting things—paper- weights, china and glass. And one of my drawers is stuffed with family pictures!” “It’s a relief to be clean once more!” the corner cup- board sighed. “I had begun to think I would never be fit to hold dishes again—but having nothing be bookends!” a sad THIS ISSUE -- Two Sections 24 PAGES by the editor's wife now look at my pretty, clean glass” doors, gleaming wood, and spotless blue shelves! And they're full of old china, too, so that I'm quite a guy!” But the biggest “fuss” of all came from the chairs — and that’s not surprising, since there are more of them than anything else— “I'm the prettiest,” said a dainty little walnut rose-carv- ed, cane-seated one. “Oh, no, you're not!” con- tradicted a light maple chair with gracefully turned spin- dles and also a seat of cane. “I'm the largest,”” said our favorite rocker, with high ack and comfortable arms. “I'm the smallest!” said a little cane-seated bedroom chair. “I'm the rush-seated, rocker with posts and legs. “I'm the most valuable,” piped up a beautifully re- finished plank bottom, arrow- back chair. And so it went! And then we woke up! But we continued to think about these old pieces, to which we have become so at- tached. Who made them? In whose some or homes did they spend the first hundred years or so of their lives? What kind of people used them?

Per Pupil Costs At About $650 Donegal school district spends about $650 per pupil to educate boys and girls! This is the figure released this week by Supervising Principal R. F. Hallgren. That amount is reacher by dividing $1,894,000, which is the school: budget for this year, by 2900, approximately the total number of young- sters in school this year. Hallgren, pointed out that this figure includes the costs of debt service, which repre- sent payments for capital in- vestment in buildings and other physical assets. The $650 is a matter of in- terest to local people in view of a recent newspaper ifea- ture article which laid some emphasis upon the quality of schools, measured by the cost per pupil. Donegal Band Uniforms Arrive Donegal high school’s iong- awaited new, band uniforms have arrived! However, when they will make their first appearance in public has not been deter- mined. The green and white out- fits, complete with all the extras, may not appear for some time yet. The very first opportunity would be at the Manheim Township footiall game Saturday, but as one schoolman put if, “Who wears his brand new suit on a day that could very easily be bad and rainy?” Besides, at mid-week it seemed that it would be a tough ich to try to check, is- sue, fit and alter all the many pieces of the uniform before the game.
