We arrived at the gate to purchase our tick- ets just as the Donegal team was coming, chanting as they ran. The band started to play the National Anthem, before the players were near the field and these young men stopped and removed their helmets. It was very impres- sive and made us feel very proud.” ® oo o If you noticed that Dick Schweiker, U. S. Senator- Elect, who was named last week to succeed Joseph Clark made a good showing in Mt. Joy, you might be interested to know that he has a num- ber of friends in the area. ® ® ® In the not too distant past he came to Mount Joy a num- bers of times on business with the State Junior Cham- ber of Commerce. ® ® © Some of the fellows who have now passed the age of active participation in the Jaycees know him well. = : 2 vo a THE RE MOUNT 5 I oY ” .

Geraniums peeping through a blanket of white! Yellow leaves falling on top of two or three inches of heavy, wet snow! It was certainly an unusual day, Tuesday, and one we will not soon forget! It was beautiful, and we saw cam- era enthusiasts recording the amazing sight of snow on fall flowers. But to the small fry, the snow wasn’t nice. One little boy said, “It’s an ugly snow —my mother won't let me go out and play in it because it’s too wet!” So you see, beauty is a matter of view- point! 5 * * * To paraphrase a popular slogan: of other days: “As the Marietta elementary school 12? goes, so goes the nation! : At least that’s the way it worked out last Tuesday, el- ection day — Richard Nixon _ got 169 votes, Hubert Hum- phrey, 103, and George Wal. lace, TT The ‘election’ was organ- ized by the fifth grade pupils and their teacher, Gene New. comer, with all 349 students at the school taking part by voting!

There were committees for each part of the project, and the children worked enthusiastically. One of the pupils, Becky Ratledge, expressed the satis- faction of all the children when she wrote in her report about the project: “I learned how the election works!” Another, Jackie Frrey, said, “We had lots of fun doing it . . and most everybody in the class was happy, because so many voted for Nixon.” So it really was prophetic about the national election, after all! .
