APRIL 12, 1967 SEVEN CENTS Chas. Heaps Dies In Viet Nam Combat The grief, the futility and the tragedy of war came to Mount Joy Monday when word arrived that Charles W. Heaps, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. Heaps, 351 South Delta street, was dead in Viet Nam. Word spread rapidly and the community was deeply touched by the news of the death of a Mount Joy young man in the Viet Nam conflict. Charles, a '64 graduate of Donegal high school, and wellknown to the people of Mount Joy, had been in Viet Nam since August of 1966. He was 21 years old and a private first class. A machine gunner on a helicopter with the First Air Cavalry, he was wounded fatally Saturday, April 8, ac- cording to information re- ceived Monday by the family from the U. S. Army. First word of the fatality came to Mount Joy when two U. S. Army master serg- eants contacted the Reverend Menno Good, pastor of Chi- ques Methodist church. They then went to Seiler school, where the young sol- dier’s father is principal. Charles was born in Mount Joy and lived all his life here until he entered the Marvin Foltz Marvin R. Foltz is dead! But the day of horror will continue in Maytown for many years -— as long as there are those who can re- call the nightmarish details of the Friday evening bank holdup. There actually are two stories about the events of Friday. One was the point- service. Before being sent to Viet Nam, Heaps was stationed at Fort Carson, Colo., and last June his parents spent a week there as his guest. Just before being sent overseas in August, he spent a 10-day leave at home. Pfc. Heaps was employed at Auto Litho, Inc., before entering the Army in Nov- (Turn tc page 8) Fatally Shot At Maytown Bank Holdup blank shooting of Foltz and the other about the hcldup itself. But, because of the “it can't happen here” placid feeling of security enjoyed by us all, the death of the faithful lawman is the one which will continue to be told in the Maytown commu- nity. At County Science Fair Donegal Sweeps Honors Donegal high school vir- tually monopolized the 1967 Lancaster County Science Fair, held last week at War- wick high school. The D. H. S. young scien- tists took many honors, in- cluding the two top awards — championship and reserve championship. Kathlene Zimmerman, sen- ior, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Zimmerman, S. Barbara street, became the only two-time winner in the Science Fair, the county in history of the having won 1965. The reserve champion is Mitchell Albert, also a sen- ior, son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Albert, New Haven street. Both young people, Kath- lene’s mother, a science teach- er and a newspaperman will be on the coast by May 8. The champion did her work in testing of the effect of heavy ingestion of vita- min A on pregnant mice. Al- Friday evening about 6 p. m., three bank employees— Gerald Lindemuth, assistant cashier and branch manager; Robert Hiestand, teller, and Mrs. Verna Wetzel, part-time teller—were on duty in the Maytown branch bank of the Union National Mount Joy bank. Two strangers entered and bert called his project, “Al- kaloidal Identification, Ex- traction and Concentration.” The two this week are dis- manteling their displays, packing them and making ready for shipment of the exhibits so that they will be in San Francisco in time to be set up again for the na- tional show. Kathlene also won the county dental award and Al- bert won the U. S. Army medical award and Space Ag- announced that “This is a holdup.” One tossed a bag to Mrs. Wenizel and said, “Fill it up.” About this time, a custemer, Raymond Burris of Marietta R1, entered. The holdup men ordered Burris and Heistand into the bank vault as Mrs. Wetzel continued filling the impro- (Turn te page 4) ee ee Pe ———eem eee eet —— ency Award.

Albert won an honorable mention. Thomas B. Spangler won a U. S. Air Force certificate in electronics and Barry emberling won a similar honor in nuclear science. Library Workers Set To A corps of approximately 100 workers this week is ready to launch the 1967 Mount Joy Library Center fund drive, which is being coordinated with National Library week. Workers attended a drive meeting Tuesday evening, April 11th, at the E. U. B, church, which was addressed by Harold Jenkins, librarian of the Lancaster Free Public Library. Two movies were shown, materials were explained and arrangements for the cam- ’ An Editorion The “why” which explains Donegal high school’s science fair winnings is one of the most elusive questions which can be posed to local peo- ple. So many ingredients go into the making of any champion that no one can sift out the exact single answers. Every reason for success is re- lated to another until the exact reason why, in past years, D.H.S. students have been top winners and this year swept away honors at the county fair is even more complex. Dedicated teachers, enthusiastic students, co- operative parents, an encouraging faculty, etc, etc., all play a tremendous part. How all these things combine and what caused all of them to develop in Donegal district is anyone's guess. One of the best single facors going for the lo- cal youngsters these days is the factor of competi- tion. Nothing — and we repeat it, nothing — pro- motes success like competition. ; {Turn *- paign were discussed. This is the first campaign for funds since the library was organized and the initial capitalization effort was made. Since the Mount Joy lib- rary opened at Thanksgiving time in 1964, it has circulat- ed approximately 50,000 books, records & film strips, Mrs. Gloria Straub, library board president said this week. The immediate acceptance of the library as an impor- tant part of the community rests in the fact its use has been growing month by month over a period of near- ly 25 years. To date, 35,000 fiction books have been issued to avid readers and nearly 13- 500 non-fiction books have been loaned. In addition, the record library has loaned music to almost 1,500 people. A newer service is the avail- ability of film strips. In a matter of months, 500 loans have been made. Circulation figures show that during five weeks of ’'64, HONOR STUDENT : Joyce Beamenderfer, 210 Birchland avenue, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Asher Bea- menderfer, is among those listed as honor students at the University of Pittsburgh for the fall term, 1966-67. She is enrolled in the School of Liberal Arts. Hon- or students must have cumu- lative quality point averag- es of 3.25 or better. Launch Fund Campaign 1,626 books were circulated. In 1965 there were 19,787 books and records issued to eager borrowers. The year 1966 saw 21,976 books, rec- ords and a few film strips is- sued. During the first three months of ’67, 6,535 books, records and film strips were loaned. Projecting the three months figure to a full year there appears that circulation could easily reach to 25,000 before Jan. 1, 1968. Library people point out that these circulation increas- es reflect a tremendous inter- est and genuine enthusiasm by the users of the Mount Joy center. Wiley Elected to Office Ray N.
