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.

How much is a call to Lon-
don? Presently it is $12 for
the first three. minutes and
$4 for each additional min-
ute.

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.
He has notified the Vestry
of the local church that he
will be assuming his new du-
ties about Dec. 15.
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

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?
An old poplar wood box

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.
