All were charged. Some
have paid, some have posted
bond and some have done
this and that.

Included in the list of
drivers are several Mount
Joy people—now poorer but
wiser. One of their added
jolts will come when they're
notified by their insurance
companies that their rates
will jump as a result of their
experience.
One person nabbed was a
minister (not from Mt. Joy
or even from Lancaster Co.)
He asked if there would be
any considerations for the
clergy. The police officer an-
swered the question with a
question of his own, “When I
get to the gates and want in

will they ask me if I'm a

One of the finest pieces of
“new” business handled by
the Donegal schools in a
long time begun a few days
before classes began last
week.
®@ oO eo
All teachers who are new
in the Donegal district this
year were invited to partici-
pate in an all-day orienta-
tion session. And, it turned
out to be something which
doubtless will become an an-
nual agair.

We might add that most
every school district could
have a good hard look at
what happened here and
then begin a similar program

Aboard a bus, the new-
comers were given a better-
than Cook’s tour with none
other than the supervising
principal as the guide. A
man with an intimate know-
ledge of his community and
school area, he talked steadi-
ly for more than an hour
and a half as the bus drove
over the entire district.
® ® ®
When later in the course
of school routine Milton
Grove (for instance) is men-
tioned, the new teacher is not
left without knowledge. The
same goes for Poseyville,
Irishtown and a lot of other
places.

The people who may have
been strange to this area
learned at least a little about
tobacco — one of the big
crops which keeps this com-
munity running. Later the
group had lunch together and
superintendents and princi-
pals held small-group orien-
taticn sessions.
These who will teach our
children were given the “red
carpet” treatment by the top
layer of administration and
we have a feeling that it will
pay mighty big dividends.

Many noted with interest
that Miss Pennsylvania ap-
peared at Atlantic City in
the Miss America pageant
wearing hair styling done by
Jack Madara of Harrisburg.
Readers in Marietta and May-
town were quick to jump on
the band wagon and to point
out that he is a native of the
former and at one time a
r--'*=nt of the latter.

Donegal Bus
Hit By Auto
Approximately 20 boys
and girls riding a Donegal
district school bus escaped in-
jury Monday afternoon, Sept.
11, on Road 23, east of Mari-
etta, but the driver of the
convertible which rammed
their vehicle is in the Saint
Joseph’s hospital.
The accident occurred a-
bout 2:15 Monday afternoon
as the bus was returning pu-
pils home from school.
Walter A. Nau, 65, driver
of the bus, had stopped at
the Samuel Getz home to al-
low 77-year-old Kathleen Getz,-
Maytown pupil to alight. -
As the bus stopped, a car
also {traveling east, came to a
halt behind. Kathleen started
up the driveway to her home.
At that moment the convert-
ible, also moving east, and
driven by Robert C. Carna-
than, Columbia R1, came ov-
er a slight rise in the road.
The driver, apparently failed
to realize the situation until
too late.

Love is the state of mind
in which a man can pay the
bills without a frown.
ates the spring and its con-
necting facilities, had asked
the state department of for-
ests and water for 86< 000
gallons per day.
When the spring was vart
of the privately-owned Florin
system, heid by General Wa-
terworks corporation, it had
an allocation from the Com-
monwealth of 200,000 gallons
per day. However, the water
assignment does not rove
forward automatically from
one owner to the next and
Mount Joy has been obliged
to enter its own request.
When allocation petition
was entered an objection ras
made in the name of the
Donegal Fish and Conser-
vation Association, which
is interested in preserving a-
quatic recreation along Char-
les Run and Donegal creek,
which carry water from
Charles spring.
Resolution of the problem
has been hanging for a mat-
ter of menths. Thursday, An-
thony M. Lunetta, chief of
the division of dams and en-
croachments of the Depart-
ment of Forests and Waters,
held a hearing. Also in atten-
dance were members of the
authority and its legal and
engineering counsel, Kenneth
Depoe to speak for the Done-
gal Fish and Game Conseiva-
tion Association, and Sarnuel
W. Hall, district fish warden.
After hearing all who had
information to give, Luunetta
proposed the half-million gal-
lon per day figure and all
concerned agreed, subject to
official sanctions, where
necessary, to accept the com-
promise.
The agreement includes the
provision that the 500,000
figure is the limit which is to
be drawn now or within the
future. The only exception
would be in times of ‘‘wet
weather cycles” when there
is an emergency situation.
The agreement further set
out that the authority shall
begin at once to explore the
sources for additional water
supply for Mount Joy and
that within five years it shall
have a plan and be ready to
place it in operation. He fur-
ther said that his information
indicates that the 500,000
allocation should take care
of local needs for that period.
The hearing had brought
out that there is a very strong
indication that before toe
many years, a county authori-
ty will be formed to furnish
water from the Susquehanna
to communities over a wide
area—Maytown, Rheems, Xli-
zabethtown, Mount Joy, Lan-
caster, Lititz, Manheim, New
Holland and perhaps others
along the proposed 60 to 72
inch line. As proposed, that
authority would operate a
purification system at the
river and pipe water for
wholesale distribution to the
presently organized water
system. It was pointed out
that the water problem is
becoming one which must be
faced on a big, broad basis.
In detailing his compro-
mise, Lunetta said that his
investigation shows that the
allocation will leave at ‘east
ing in Charles Run and add-
