And — in Lancaster county, this is the week. This is the show- down. Donegal, for the first time in more than 10 years, is in- volved. What happens Friday nite to the Indians is tremendous- ly important to the total success picture of hte 1968. ’69 campaign and is vital to what comes next — if there is a ‘next’. Actually, Donegal is on the trail of three prizes. One is the Section One county championship, which guaran- tees the second honor, which is a ticket to play on the night of Feb. 20 in the coun- ty playoffs at the Farm Show building. The third is a pass- port into Class B tourna- ment, which will get under- way the week of the 24th at Hershey. (Turn to page 3) ‘Of This and That’ It was a wonderful time for the children—the young in heart and the young in years! We finally had a nice snow! And it came on a Sat- urday night, when it could be most properly enjoyed. From the evidence around town, we believe that it gave much pleasure to hun. dreds of people. Christmas sleds came out of hibernation, and snowmen and forts were everywhere! On the broad, sloping lawn of the Messiah Home, there were two or three huge snowballs, four or five feet in diameter. Just across the road was a whole family of ‘snow peo- ple” — father, mother and some children. All were warmly dressed in hats, mit- tens and scarves! We saw snow men with broomsticks, snow men with baseball caps on, snow men with sticks for arms, and snow men with boots on! One of the cleverest and most realistic of the snow sculptures was in front of the home of Al Brooks, Don- egal high school’s football coach, on Donegal Springs Road. It was a huge white rabbit, - sitting upright, with tall ears, and dark whiskers. And it was “eating” a big yellow carrot! The only oth- er white rabbit that size that we ever saw was named “Harvey”! Mishaps in this area were at a minimum, but we did hear of a family of seven, who went for a drive Sun- day afternoon in their sta- tion wagon, and slid into a deep snowdrift.

Pokal? 4 3 by the editor's wife that came to pull them out also got stuck, and the sta- tion wagon ‘‘blew” a tire from spinning its wheels so much. But no one got panicky, and no one got hurt. It was just an ‘adventure’ in the snow! x = % We often mention the building and the improve- ments that have come to Mit. Joy. They are an indication that our town keeps busy and keeps growing. As we think about this, we realize that there have been at least five businesses come to Mount Joy in the past year. Four of them have already held an ‘open house’, and another will probably do so before long. We are speaking of Mar- tin’s Apparel shop, at Mari- etta and Main; National Cash Register, on Route 230 East; (Turn to page 3) FIVE DAY Weather Forecast From The Harrisburg Weather Bureau Thursday through Monday Feb. 13 . 17 Temperatures for the 3- day period from Thursday through Monday are expec- ted to average below nor- mal.

No More Tickets: Watch Cable TV; Invite a Friend * * The word, straight from the chief school administra- tors at Donegal, is that there are no more tickets available for THE basket- ball game! THE basketball game, of course, is the Donegal-Hemp- field battle Friday night, Feb. 14, on the Indians’ home floor. Tickets were all sold Monday and unless you have made your plans al- ready, you'll just have to make some other arrange- ments. One “other” arrangement is to watch the games on ca- ble television. But, there are some catches even to that. The plan was as fololws: The game will be broadcast live from the D.H.S. gym by the United Transmission com- pany, which serves the local area with television cable service. However, the cable will feed the game only to the Mount Joy area. To best serve fans, Done- gal district has made arrange- ments to take the game off the cable in the Beahm Jun- ior high school auditorium (which actually is a gym) and show it on several class- room size television sets. at mid-week Admission there will be $1 for adults, 50c for stu- dents. But, that does not solve the problem completely. Hempfield schoolmen told Donegal Tuesday that “We can easily sell 700 tickets for that television showing.” Therefore, Donegal officials are beginning to worry that even facilities at the junior high school will be overtax- ed. Remember — this is ‘the game of the year” for both teams.
