This note from a Donegal
football fan, labeled “I think
this is worth mentioning:
Friday evening my hus-
band and I attended the foot-
ball game between Donegal
and Ephrata. 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.”

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.

‘Of This and That’
Snow-covered petunias and
roses! 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!

at the school taking part by

It was an interesting pro-

children took two big card-

painted them gray, and then

installed ‘“‘door knobs’ and
“levers” to give them an of-
ficial look!
Inside were the pictures of
the three candidates above
the “levers,” and behind the
boxes sat children to tally
how many times each lever
was pushed down
Preliminary work before
election day included putting
up political posters in the
halls of the school, and ‘‘reg-
istering”’ the children of all
other rooms, to make them
eligible to vote! 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! .
