I grew up in Mount Joy, many of my fam- ily ties are there, and I've never stopped appreciating my lovely home town. I am happy to read of the fine progress you are making, but 1 hope you never grow so large that you lose the small town friendliness that is so marked in Mount Joy. I ran across a news item in our morning paper, ‘The Commercial Appeal’ that I thought you might find in- teresting, as I did. This was clipped from a section called ‘News of Bygone Days’ from the Comm. Appeal files, and has news from 25, 50, 75, 100 and 125 years ago on the current day. If you ever have a mom- ent, or perhaps an afternoon, find out what happened to Mr. Wise’s balloon. May you continue ‘The Bulletin’ in good health, Mr. Rainbolt, and thank you for your news from home. Mary C. Preslar Mrs. James S. Preslar 3415 Range Line #2 Memphis, Tenn. 38127 P. S. I am the former Mary Habecker, and graduated a- bout this time in 1941 from Mount Joy high school. The clipping follows: 125 YEARS AGO May 22, 1843 Notices to all publishers of newspapers in the world: It is my intention to cross the Atlantic in a balloon during the summer of 1844. As bal- loons often cause alarm a- mong inhabitants of all coun- tries, I hereby give notice. The balloon will be 100 feet in diameter and will have a net ascending power of 25, 000 pounds. A sea-worthy to spare, it might be fun toboat is to be used instead of { out further notice. Failure to comply with this NOTICE and the Borough Weed Ordinance will require the borough to have the work done for which COSTS plus 10 percent will be billed to the property owners. | Your Cooperation Is Requested Be a Good Neighbor Now!

DHS Band Club Elects Officers The Donegal Band Parents club met on Monday even- ing; June 3, in the high school cafeteria. The Board of Directors met at 7 p.m. with president, Lester Hos- tetter, in charge, and chose the following officers for the 1968-69 school year: President, Donald Waser; vice pres., Mrs. Charles Shoe- maker; secretary, Mrs. S. Maurice Crowl, and treasur- er, Mrs. Harold Ney. The general meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by President Hostetter. Band Master Glenn Leib thanked the club for the gift present- ed him at the spring concert He stated that the concert was a big success, and that he felt all who heard the U. S. Army Field Band, en- joyed this fine group of mu- sicians. He mentioned that letters of appreciation could be written the head man of this group, telling him of this appreciation, and asking if they might return in the near future and give a con- cert in our park. Leib stated: Color guard and majorette trials are com- pleted and five .girls have been chosen for this next a basket, in case the balloon should fail. John Wise, Lan- caster, Pa. year; Donegal is considering an exchange program of band personnel with another group to be discussed furth- er when more is known. The French Horn that was pur- chased by the club is in use. A recording session of con- cert has been dropped due to failure in the speaker needed to make the record. Band camp letters, which will be forthcoming to mem- bers of both bands, was read by Leib to the group, stating dates for camp August 26 (o 30, incl. Two more color guard flags will ‘be ordered. Leig wants all present mem- bers of the club to encourage more people to come out to WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 1968 club meetings. . Morrell Shields will be giving lessons at paygrounds this summer. It was pointed out that private lessons are needed by students of both bands, as some younger stu- dents now taking lessons, are advanced so far, that there is a possibility they might be given the place of an older student not so far advanced, or who shows no desire to advance. Leib was given OK to check with Oswald Uniform Co. on cost, delivery date, ete., for uniforms for color guards, and to report back as soon as this information is known.
