Team Splits
Donegal’s baseball Tribe di-
vided a win and a loss this
past week as the young sea-
son kept rolling along. The
record for D.H.S. now stands
a pair of losses (both by one
run) against one win.
Tuesday afternoon at Col-
umbia, the Indians were do-
ing a good job, leading 5-0,
until the sixth, when the
Tide exploded six runs to go
in front, That was the game
for neither scored in the sev-
enth.
Hay, Sutter and Caswell
did the Donegal hurling,
combining to give 6 hits. Cas-
well, however, was charged
with the loss. Hay had two
for three at the plate, includ-
ing a pair of doubles. Reuter
also had two for three.
Thursday afternoon, April
6, on the home field, Donegal
turned in a top-heavy victory
as Manheim Central was
ciobbered, 11 to 5.
Duayne Casswell was hit
eight times but fanned sev-
en and gave four walks. Bill
Reuter, veteran backstop,
completed the Donegal bat
tery.
The Tribe, after being edg-
ed 2-1 in its opener a couple
of days earlierfi came back to
score in five of the six inn-
ings at the bat. The visitors’
best frame was the third
when they pushed three runs
across.
Shortstop Bill Stohler had
a triple.
Thursday afternoon of this
week Penn Manor comes to
Indian territory and next
Tuesday the Tribe goes to
Manheim Township.

MOUNT JOY, PENNA., WEDNESDAY. APRIL 12, 1967

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 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-

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-

In physics, Robert B, Gray-
bill, won third; in chemistry,
William A. Sprecher won
second; in biology, Alice M.
Kleiner, won second; in the
junior high division, Craig
Greiner was third and Scott
E. 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.
