Eshleman 16th Districi—Pennsylvania At this time of year, many of our problems and troub- les, even governmental ones, do not seem nearly as bother- some as they did just a few weeks ago. There is an old wish, but nevertheless a very pertinent one, that the holi- day season and its good wishes should extend through- out the entire year. In that spirit, I would like to extend my best wishes to each of you for a Happy New Year. * * ¥ Every year there are a lim- ited number of opportunities for summer jobs with Feder- al agencies. With most of our students in the district home for the holidays, I thought that the possibilities of ob- taining such a position may be of interest to them. The number of Jobs avail-! able is relatively small and the chances of appointment depend upon the number and kind of summer jobs in the area where you apply, the number of applicants in that area, and the individual's qualifications. The work wvar- ies from office employment to Park Rangers. Last year over three-fourths of the peo- ple were hired in typist and stenographer jobs, engineer- ing and science aid jobs and seasonal assistant jobs with the Post Office Department. Other opportunities were as office machine operators, li- brary assistants, clerks, and medical and editorial assist- ants. It is expected that the hiring for the summer of ’68 will be much the same. The jobs are filled on a merit basis. Most require el- gibility in a Civil Service ex- amination. A few of the em- ployment possibilities do not require qualification in the written test but are filled through merit selection plans administered by agencies ac- cepting applications for sum- mer employment. Any young person who is interested in one federal pos- ition should begin immediat- ely to get his or her applica- tion ready. The first step is 10 obtain a copy of the pam- phlet “Summer Jobs in Fed- eral Agencies.” This booklet is available at high school counseling offices, college placement offices, U.S. Ser- vice Commission offices, and many post offices. I have a few copies available in my district office too. The next step would be io file an application to take the eligibility examination. That test will be given on January 13, February 10 and .March 9. The test will be ad- ministered at a variety of places in and around the 16th District as well as across the country. These locations are listed in the above mentioned brochure. T would encourage students io check into this type of work and, if interested, to apply early. The Federal ag- encies will begin the process of making their selections af- ter the results of the January test have been processed. 1 am assured that an equal chance will be given to all applicants to compete for one of these short-term non-carecr jobs. 5% * * A few weeks ago I offered to give Viet Nam maps to the immediate families of men serving in Viet Nam. Since 1 still have a few of these maps left, I would like fo extend that offer to any close relatives of our 16th District soldiers in Viet Nam. The re- maining maps will be distri- buted on a first come, first { serve basis to persons request- {ing them. Donegal Band Parents Meet The Donegal Band Parents met on Monday evening, Jan. 8, at the high school. President Lester Hostetter was in charge of the meeting. He asked the membership chairman for a report on the prograss of dues being collec- ted from parents of junior & senior high school members. Band director Glenn Leib re- ported that all Donegal band sweatshirts have been sold, as have all the candy bars. He stated that he still has band decals which may be purchased from him at any time. Leib reported dates of Jan. 27 for county chorus at 8 p.m. at Garden Spot high school, Feb. 17 as the date for County Orchestra and on March 16 for County Band, at Manheim Township high school with Paul Fisher, the guest conductor. District Band dates are on Feb. 22, 23, and 24 at West York high school, the conduc- tor will be Dr. Dunlap of Penn State university. Leib has mentioned to all band members that he feels all should try to attend the Friday evening concert of district band, which would cost 50c for a ticket for bus fare. The starting time of this program will be 8 p.m. Mention was made of the part William Earhart played at Donegal’s home football games as the band announcer and the band organization’s appreciation was expressed to him for his services.

We saw her play the lead- ing role in “Hello, Dolly,” Saturday afternoon at Her- shey, and she was tremend- ous! She danced, she sang, she acted—all with the well-re- membered Ginger Rogers vi- vacity and charm, and the audience loved her! When the show ended and she took a curtain call, they gave her a standing ovation! She responded with warmth, sincerity and graciousness. The show was extremely well done. The costumes were rich and colorful, the stag- ing outstanding, and the dancing unusually interesting and well executed. It was a bright interlude in a cold, snowy January day! Rotarians Hear Brent Shunk Brent Shunk, assistant op- erating manager of the Lan- caster division of P.P.&L. was the speaker Tuesday noon at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Mount Joy Rotary club, held at Hostet- fers. He told about the growing program which his organiza- tion is conducting along the Susquehanna river to create recreational facilities. P.P. & L. has under its control some 5,000 acres of land, including tracts along both banks of the river and islands in the area generally below Columbia. Open to the public on lim- ited restrictions, there are facilities for boat launching, camping, trailer parking and many other out-door sports. Development of the areas, he said are part of the over- all programs which the com- pany promotes in addition to its actual generation and dis- tribution of power. Others, he mentioned briefly, are ed- ucational assistance and in- dustrial development. As the area in which the company operates either grows or deteriorates, so fol- lows the rise or fall of the electrical businesses, he ob- served. During the meeting Tues- day, two new members were inducted into Rotary. Charles O. Groff introduced Elmer Z. Ginder and Jay Risser intro- duced Elmer K. Cope. TO SPEAK AT ELIZABETHTOWN The Rev.

Operation Pretzel has now come to Mount Joy. » TE TEE WEDNESDAP, JANUARY 10, 1968 She could see outward only in peeks, Dead wiper blades causing the streaks That she had to look through— .
