R. A. R. There has ‘been consider- able in the news recently a- bout the cost of milk sold in schools. ® oo oo It’s interesting to note that the Donegal School district last year sold 557,000 half pints of milk. That's nearly 35,000 gallons. ® o oo While the high winds of last week did not do violent damage to the community, it did blow down tree and a few shingles off roofs. ® © © Probably the worst piece of damage was to the new Weis Market, on West Main street. The store’s huge sign above the front door was blown down, crashing into - the roof over the entrance, No one was injured and the damaged sign was removed Monday. ® oo o Firemen of the community, however, have been very very busy the past few days. After an extended period of inactivity, there has been a rash of field and grass fires. ® © o None has done more than the minimum damage. ® 0 © Dry weather is blamed.

Joy probably don’t realize is that quite a few NCR 'em- ployees have already moved into our town and are being integrated into the commu- nity. Several have bought homes, others have found apartments and rooms. Their children are now attending school in Mt. Joy. Many of these people do not come to our community completely unfamiliar with it. Almost a year ago, some of those who knew they were to be moved to Mount Joy when the plant was finished, began subscribing to the Mt. -THIS ISSUE -- Two Sections 24 PAGES by the editor's wife Joy Bulletin. Through its pages, they learned of real estate prices. What sort of houses were available, what sort of school activities we had, and many other things. Names of peo- ple and places became fam- iliar to them. So, when they moved here, they had a head- start on learning about our town. What’s more, they would come into the Bulletin office occasionally when they came here on business and pleas- ure, and we have become ac- quainted with some of them. They seem to be fine young people who will be a real as- set to our community. One, who has bought a new home in Donegal Heights dropped in on “moving day” about two weeks ago to have the address on his Bulletin changed from “Trumansburg, (Turn to page 8) — Devoted to the Best Interest and Welfare of Mount Joy MOUNT JOY, PA.,, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1968 U LD SEVEN CENTS Authority Retires "74 Sewer Bond Series Mt. Joy Borough Authority saved itsclf and tle public approximately $7,000 last week when it was able to purchase $20,000 worth of bonds which would not have been due until 1974. At a special meeting last week of ithe Authority, memn- bers, advised by engineers and by trustees (Union Na- tional Mount Joy bank) took advantage of a fortunate sit- uation which became avail- able unexpectedly. A Philadelphia bank which had owned the bonds was seeking to shift its holdings and happened to own all the bonds which the Authority would have been obliged to meet in an entire year. They all pertain to the fi- nancing of the sewer lines in the Florin area of Mount Joy, B.. Titus Rutt, Authority chairman said. Lester Hostetter, trust offic- er of the bank, said that the Authority was able to buy at a little more than 82, which represented an unusual price and saving on the principal. In addition to saving on the principal, even larger dollar gains were made on the interest, which would have been paid had the bonds run their full term. Payment was made from the Authority’s bond redemp- tion and improvement funds. Later in the spring the bonds will be cremated. No School In Donegal District March 4 There will be no school in Donegal District on Monday, Mrs. Ethel March 4! That day will be a “professional holiday,” granted to teachers without pay, to permit them to participate in a state-wide “Action for Education Day.” However, the day will be “made up”’ April 10th, which originally had been allocated as on Wednesday, part of the school district's Easter vacation. Action to alter the school calendar was taken Thurs- day night, Feb. 15, as the School Board held its monthly meeting in the high school library. Board members voted 6 - abstained from voting. Decision came following the presentation 9:45 p. m. of the request by Mrs. Mary Martin, Seiler element- ary school teacher. She is president of the Donegal Ed ucation Association, which is at Crown King KING Gregory daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donegal street, wear their crowns as King and Queen.” Grove (left), 2 to make the change.

Appearing with her and participating in the presen- tation seeking change in the calendar were Henry Hack- man, D.H.S. science teacher; - rr” son of Mr. and Mrs. Den- nis Grove, 320 North Market street, and Trudy Rafferty, Ronald Rafferty, 333 West “Sweetheart Baby RUNNERSUPS in the contest included: Heather Farm- er, Jeffory Way, Stacy Gingrich and Shawn Maxwell. Gregory Grove, age 14 months, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Grove, 320 North Market Ave. and Trudy Raf- ferty, 3-year-old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Raffer- ty, 333 West Donegal street, were crowned King and Queen of the Joycee-ettes “Sweetheart” Baby Contest. The crowning took place (Turn to page 8) let them down on Broske, district vocal music supervisor, and Morrell Shields, district in- strumental music supervisor. In one of the fullest de- bates the board has made on any subject in recent months —every member of the board taking some part—the board voted at 11:40 p.m. to honor the D.E.A. request. Motion to grant the pro- fessional holiday by chang- ing its schedule was made by Donald Kugle of Marietta, who himself is a classroom teacher of social studies in the Elko District in Eastern Lebanon county. The motion was seconded by Tony Albano, also of Marietta. The two negative votes were cast by. J. Edw. Char- les, also of Marietta, who in- structed that the secretary write into the minutes his reason for voting against the action, and Lewis Bixler, of Maytown. Charles explained that he is not opposed to the “holi- day’ as requested by the Donegal Education Associa- tion but that he cast his vote in opposition because “of the mandate from the Pennsyl- vania State Education associ- ation to the local group.” Request to the board came as the most recent in a series of teacher actions directed toward increased salaries. On Saturday, Feb. 10th, Pennsylvanit teachers met in Harrisburg and in a noisy mil- itant session voted to organ-- ize a “march” upon the capi- tol to impress the governor and the legislature with their demands for wage considera- tions. Teachers, it was pointed out Thursday night at Done- gal school board meeting, feel that the state (and speci- fically the governor) have campaign promises. The state meeting of the Pennsylvania State Educa- tion association instructed its local units to seek releas- ed time from class rooms to allow opportunity for the “march”. Monday afternoon, Feb. 12, the Donegal unit held a meet- ing and by standing count of 65 - 25, Mrs. Martin said, vot- ed to ask the Board of educa- tion for the ‘“professionai holiday.” Following is the official announcement of the action of the board, as issued Fri day morning from the office of the supervising principal to the district teachers: “The Donegal School Board at its regular meeting last night voted to grant the re- quest of the Donegal Educa- tion Association for the ‘“pro- fessional holiday” on Mon- day, March 4, 1968.
