Indians Fade
As Bears Win
The last half again proved
the undoing of Donegal high
school’s Indians as the Eliza-
bethtown Bears rallied Fri-
day night to take a 44-41
basketball victory.
The first quarter: was Don-
egals’, 14-6 and thc half end-
ed for the Tribe, 25 to 18.
It was ihe third, actually,
that the game slipped away
from the Indians, - as Eliza-
bethtown counted 12 and
Donegal 4, to set the count at
30-29 for the Bears. E-town
outscored DHS in the final
period, 14 - 12.
Both McCowan and Berry
hill counted 14 points for the
locals while Fitzwater had
20 for the winners.
In the preliminary, the
Bear Cubs won, 43 to 33.
Donegal was slated to
meet Conestoga Valley on
the Indian floor on Tuesday
night, Jan. 24, and to enter-
tain Manheim Township on
Friday, the 27th. The next
Tuesday, the Tribe wiil go to
Columbia.
‘Of This and That’
The weather is almost the
top news story this week.
January 23rd—the warmest
one in more than 60 years!
Convertibles were much in
evidence, and shirt sleeves
and light sweaters were the
“order of the day’ on Mon-
aay!
What is more, it has been
more than a week now since
our “sleuth” up on PBruce
Avenue spotted crocuses
coming through the ground
on his front lawn! We should
not be surprised to hear of
geese heading northward, li-
lacs budded, or forsythia in
bloom if this warm weather
continues!
However, we hope that
we don’t hear of these harb-
ingers of spring, for it's at
least 60 days yet before they
would be safe from heavy
snows, wind and frost!

We understand that Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Heaps DID
get to see their son Charles
“on Christmas Day in Viet
Nam via TV!”
As the TV cameras record-
by the editor's wife
ed Bob Hope's “Christmas
Special” program in Saigon,
they caught young Charles on
the front row, where he was
easily visible to ‘the folks
back home” when the show
was shown on a network pro-
gram last Thursday night,
And in color, too! Mr. and
Mrs. Heaps ‘saw’ their son
on a color TV set at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Jay
Barnhart.
“You can’t keep a good
man down,’ they say. Or, a
good woman, either, we
might add!
Miss Grace Henderson, the
Bulletin’s Maytown corres-
pondent, underwent major
surgery in St. Joseph’s hos-
pital last week. We presum-
ed we would not receive the
Maytown news for at least a
week or two.
But no! It arrived - on
schedule Monday morning,
delivered in person by a
friend, who told us:
“People came to see her
in the hospital, and mention-
ed items of news—so she fig-
ured she might as well write
a column!”
Mrs. Wolgemuth is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
John H. Engle of Palmyra.
She received a bachelor’s de-
gree in education from Mil
lersville State College and
was previously employed with
the Ardmore Public Library.
The Wolgemuths are mem-
bers of the Palmyra Breth-
ren in Christ Church.

An Editorion
Several months ago, after a number of voices were
rdised seeking some kind of relief from a dangerous
traffic condition on Route 230, west of Mount Joy, the
state highway department
painted yellow lines which
indicate definite instructions to motorists.
That was a improvement over the lack of contrel
which had existed, but a mistake was made.
At the intersection of Route 230 and the township
road which leads north past the Robert Brown and Dr.
Robert Eshleman homes, a great traffic hazard still ex-
ists.
At that point, the three-lane wide highway is divid-
ed by yellow lines in such a way that one lane of traffic
may move eastward and two may travel west.
The danger possibilities
traveling east approaches the intersection, wishing
turn left onto the country
motorist
to
arise when a
road.
On that stretch of highway, all traffic is high speed
and the traveler intent upon turning finds he has ve-
hicles following him closely, bearing down menacingly.
At the same time, he may be meeting traffic which
also is moving at high speed, either in single or double
line.
The turning driver finds himself in a dllemma.
Even with turn signals indicating his intentions, autos
from the rear may crowd
and crash him as he slows
down. As he attempts to turn, he may find himself in
the “passing lane” of westbound traffic, vulnerable if
someone suddenly decides to take to center.
There the turner sits, threatened from both direca-
ions, quaking in his boots, oftimes stopped in the cen-
ter of the highway with virtually no protection.
We know of one family in that area who have dis-
cussed the problem together and the standing order of
