The Keenies were “up” for Columbia, . honed to a fine edge- and for the - first half played - the’ Big Red to a 33 : 33 tie. In the third, _ the Tribe » nicked its blade and was getting no where while Col- umbia went ahead 11 points. It was a black brief inter- lude, but the Indians came roaring back and with less than a minute remaining to play had the count even at In -a- crucial moment, Du- arte had an‘ opportunity to send the Tribe ahead but he blew a one and one.

Eshleman 16th District~Pennsylvania Most people hear a good deal about the leadership of each of the political parties in the House of Representa- tives, sincé the leaders are those men who ordinarily speak for their Party mem- bership on matters of nation- al signifiiance, What many citizens may not realize is that the Partly leaders are elected by their fellow Rep- resentatives of the same pol- itical faith. Also, the leader. ship of each Party is made up of more than just one or two men. We Republicans . have had some contests for the top jobs in recent weeks, and I was rather involved in those ‘family’ battles. My participation, and the subse- quent results of these con- tests, should be of interest in the 16th District. : First of all, it might be well to give you a rundown of the posts which make up the Republican leadership and the names of the men who now occupy these posi- tions. The number one man is the Minority Leader, Ger- ald R. Ford, of Michigan. Leslie C. Arends, of Illinois, is the Assistant Minority Leader, or in more common terms, the Minority Whip. The Chairman of the Repub. lican Conference, the man who directs the meetings when House Republicans get together, is John B. Ander- son, of Illinois. Wm. C. Cra- mer, of Florida, is Vice-Chair. man of the Conference, and its Secretary is Richard H. Poff, of Virginia. The leader- ship team also includes the Chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Com- mittee who is Bob Wilson, of California. The Chairman of the Republican Policy Com- mittee is John J. Rhodes, of Arizona and Robert Taft, Jr., of Ohio, is Chairman of the Research and Planning Com- fittee. The final position in the Republican leadership belongs to the Republican member of the House Rules Committee with the most seniority, H. Allen Smith, of California. While all of these jobs were filled by elections at the opening of the 91st Congress, only two positions involved contests. Both were posts va- cated by men who had left or were leaving the House for other Government service. The Chairman of the Repub- lican Conference has been Melvin Laird who, of course, is our new Secretary of De- fense, = Charles Goodell, of New York, had been Chair- man of ‘Research and Plan- ning, but he was appointed to the Senate last year. Thereafter, several men lined up as challengers for the va- cated slots, all of whom were capable and deserving of the job they were seeking. How- ever, a choice had to be made and I chose to support and work for two men who are familiar to many people in the 16th District. The man I backed for Chairman of the Republican Conference was John Ander- son. As you can see from the previous listing, he was the eventual victor. Congressman Anderson visited the 16th District twice during the last two years when he spoke in Lebanon and New Holland. He is generally acknowledg- ed as one of thle hardest- working men in the House, and I thing his rather lop- sided victory against Jackson Betts, of Ohio, and Albert Quie, of Minnesota, is a tri- bute to his fine reputation. The final tally showed An- derson with 116 votes. Betts with 43 and Quie with 18. The results of the Research and Planning Chairmanship contest were a good deal closer, with Robert Taft, Jr. getting 76 votes to win and Donald Rumsfeld, of Illinois, receiving 74 votes. I support. led the successful candidate and, in fact, worked quite actively for his election. Congressman Taft asked me to contact the rest of the Republicans from Pennsylva- nia on his behalf and, also, to talk to some of the men who entered the Congress at the same time I did. I would like to think that I was in- fluential in swinging some of the needed votes to Bob Taft, although I have a feel- ing that the caliber of the candidate was the chief fac- tor that brought a victory Since the Ohio Congressman had, also, visited the 16th District twice during the 90th Congress, once in Lancaster, and once in Elizabethtown, his advancement to the lead- ership means that some of the people in our area are acquainted with another of the chief Republican spokes. men. I'HE BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, Columbia pressed harder than ever and Duarte got an- other chance at the free line. He sank a pair and the icing was on the cake for Done- gal. Columbia scored a sink- er but too late. Time ran out within four seconds. Co- lumbia committed another personal but no one bother- ed to take the tries for Don. egal. The ball game was over and one of the high hurdles. on the victory highway was cleared, While the Indians were winning, the Knights of Hempfield were losing a two-pointer to Ephrata. The combination set the two tied at the top of the loop 9 . 2— with what now appears may- be a tremendous season's fin- ale on the night of Feb. 14. Ephrata stands third with 8 - 3. Tuesday night McCowin a- gain led the scoring bul he was followed closely by Sload, who had 16. Duarte had 14. Tucker was held to 8 and Sutter to 6. Coach Keener played an “iron man” team, going the route without a substitution. In the preliminary, Done- gal’s JV’s won, 44 to 41. Manheim Township ran out of steam at the end of the first quarter Friday nite, January 31, and the Indians romped off to a big 77 to 47 victory. The Tribe let loose in the second and tnird periods with 22 and 23 barrages which ac- tually settled the outcome. " Then Coach Ken Keener used in varying finish out all his reserves combinations to the evening. Bob McCowin was hot as ‘he sniped in 23 points, sink- ing 11 fielders and a free toss, Sload banged 16 and Tucker had 14. Reserves also had a chance at the scoring. Engle had 2, Hess 1, Shrum 6 and Shank 1. This week, the hardwood campaign roils on, headed down hill, as the Tribe goes to E-town on Friday and to Manheim Central Tuesday, Feb. 11. Following that pair the only game remaining on the schedule is the crucial Hemp- field affair, Friday, Feb. 14. ® o- ® ® - 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 PA. i Hi Hi PAGE FIVE - Weddings lv | HH BRIGGS — MUSSER The wedding of Miss Sus- an Ann Musser, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jay C.

We also have to share a closet. Ridi- culous. I mean really, she re- fuses to keep her things on her side of the closet. Our closet could be declared a disaster area! What do- other girls do? A. You're right. Closet shar ing can create a disaster scene. Have you ever thought of liter. ally staking out your own ter- ritory in the closet? Each of you can select a different pat. tern of Marvalon adhesive cov- ering for your half of the closet ~— including the floor, ceiling and door! Then paint your share of hangers, clothes hooks, and the clothes rod in a com- plimentary color. Wow! Not only can you keep things straight without squabbles, but when you go to pick out an outfit in the morning there's in- stant gaiety gazing back at you! Q. I get “shook” about having to shake hands at teachers’ teas, interviews and introductions. I feel especially strange about shaking hands with another girl, but I read somewhere that a guest should offer her hand to her hostess. A. These four tips should straighten out your “shakiness”! 1. Never refuse to shake some- o + + QRSWers questions about Junior Miss etiquette, grooming and interests, one’s hand if he or she offers it. 2. A lady may offer her hand to a man, but it is not required. 3. When being introduced to a girl your own' age, a cordial “hello” can properly replace a hand- shake. 4. A lady should offer her hand to her host and hos tess after a party. Naturally, this doesn’t mean you'd shake hands with Joanie after a record session in the basement, but the rules do apply at more formal, adult gatherings. Re- member also, a lady’s hand- shake is quick and only lightly firm — not a masculine grip and pump action! Q. Mom just scheduled our chores for the school year. I ended up with the job of keep- ing the bathrooms clean and Mom insists on having the mir- rors and faucets sparkling all the time! Help! I'm going to have a million rags to wash on top of it. A. Surprise your Mom — and save time — by using new Kleen-Ups disposable window cleaners. They're fabulous for sparkling mirrors and bathroom fixtures. Simply wet one with water, wipe it over the surface and dry with a Kleenex paper towel. Throw both away, and you're done! 0000000000000000000000000000000000000RPRRR00ORRRORRIRRRRRIORRNINNY, Miss Janet Ann Musser, her sister’s honor attendant, wore a pale pink matte satin gown, princess style with a high neckline and short sleeves.
