snow, but at least one of its
sons was inconvenienced.

Tom Stoner, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Stoner, a
student at the American Cul-
linary Institute at New Hav-
en, Conn., had been at home
over the weekend and start-
ed back to school.

He got as far as the: area
of the Tappen Zee bridge,
north of New York, and there
was trapped with thousands
of other cars.
® Oo o
He made his way to a mo-
tel, which already was over
crowded. The management,
did, however, give him a
blanket and let him sleep on
the floor.

The next day (Monday) he
was able to get his car un-
scrambled and turned back
toward home. So, he return-
ed to Mount Joy and Tues-
day was waiting for things
to improve in the northeast
area.

Actually, Donegal is on

is the Section One county

is a ticket to play on the

‘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. Two jeeps

But no one got panicky,
and no one got hurt. It was
just an ‘adventure’ in the
snow!

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.

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. The honor of every
