That's what it is! It’s a seasonal disease which has taken hold of the community and turned us all into a yelling, screaming bunch of basketball nuts. The fans go crazy, the players go wild and Coach Ken Keener keeps twisting the towel! That's how the Section III tournament works out for Donegal fans! Thursday night, March 6, was another step in a long, long series of exciting nights which has brought the Indians from obscurity to the searing spotlight of hardwood hysteria, Donegal, of course, play- ing its third and final game of the Class B Sectional championships, whammed the Scarlet Susquehannock Warriors, 65 - 50, and went on a ‘happy binge’ which had to be seen to be believ- ed. It was deliriously satisfy- ‘The One to Remember’ ing to win the game, it was exeruciating happiness to grab the championship and the beautiful gold trophy. But, to the basketball fans, it was something even great- er to see five school boys play with such perfection. Susquehannock had the Indians outsized man for man and so obviously that had the Tribe been defeated, no one could have truly felt too badly. But, that was not the way it went!

Byf, it was a longer ride, a faster ride, a more exciting ride, a better ride and a more—fun ride than anyone had anticipated in their wildest dreams! Original tickets did not call for a big. long wor- derful ride into the month of March. In fact, the train ran for nearly a month past the original schedule. And—if possible, the last Plant Time Capsule in Boro Bldg. Another time capsule has been planted in Mount Joy! This time it has been en- closed in the walls of the new Mount Joy Borough of- fice building on Main street. A wide-mouthed glass jar was filled with interesting material — a borough map, Pennsylvania map, Mount Joy pages from a telephone book, Chamber of Commerce information, a list of all el- ected and appointive officers of the borough, a brief sketch of the ownership of the building and its site, several new coins, a -stick of chew- ing gum, several business cards of local people who happened to be around when the capsult was being as- sembled, names of builders and workers on the job, a copy of the Bulletin, a typic- ‘al sale bill, a few' odds and Jaycees Launch 'Keep God Project “Keep God in America’ is the theme of a drive now in progress as a project of the Mount Joy Jaycees! The local organizalion is cooperating with the Fenna. Jaycees to secure signers to a petition to legislators, urg- ing that God be kept ‘In our public schools, in our armed forces, in our curren- cy, in our Pledge of Allegi- ance and in our American way of life” Jaycees are not convinced that the majority of Ameri- cans want God removed from America and have initiated a project to show govern- ment officials that America does care about the future. The project is called ‘‘Op- eration God and Country.” The Mount Joy Jaycees last week placed in business houses throughout the bor- ough copies of the petition and they are urging that eli- gible voters sign. In addition to protesting the prohibition of prayer & Bible reading in schools, the petition protests against any legislation which would pos- sibly remove chaplains from the armed forces, remove “In God We Trust” from the currency and remove God’s name from the pledges of allegiance.

Included was nothing of any great monetary value, but perhaps sometime within the years ahead, someone will find the capsule, open it and have an interesting time combing through the con- tents. The cover was closed with sealing wax and the entire top and neck was coated and recoated with a piteiv-like substance “guaranteed to keep out the moisture for a hundred years.” The jar was placed in the wall about noon on Thurs- day, March 6, in a “dead” spot between the west mas- onry woll and the wall of the front door vestibule. — Boro Suggests ‘Do-It-Yourself’ Until the borough gets its spring street cleaning pro- gram under way, a ‘‘do-it- yourself’ project is suggest- ed, At its March meeting, held Monday night, Mar. 3, borough council discussed its sweeping program for 1969 and it was indicated that it probably will be the first of April before the annual cleanup gets under way. In the meantime, it was suggested that more people follow an example already set by a number of citizens who have taken the initia- tive and been sweeping the streets in front of their prop- erties. Mount Joy streets this sea- son are unusually littered with fine stone used to cut the slickness during the bad weather intervals this. win- ter. miles of the 1968-69 {rip were the very best, The end came at Muhlen- berg fieldhouse — Tuesday night, March 18, as the In- dians bowed out of tourna- ment competition, 69 to 48, to rampaging Panther Vai- ley. There were two which went wrong to side- track the valiant Donegal Indians — too much Pan- thers and a big fat lid on the Donegal bucket. The Green things was battling ‘A. Wonderful Trip’ overpowering size on both ends of the court and at the same time just could not make the basketball slide through the hoops. One of the phantoms which has haunted the Tribe before came back to bedevil the Indians of Ken Keener. Before the half, the team was in trouble with fouls. Both Tucker and McCowin had been tagged hard. Things went from bad to worse and both men soon were holding down the bench. McCowin, especially, has spent rela- tively little time out of ac- tion this season. He has been a rip-snorting, hard-driving ball player who has gone the route night af- ter night, The Tuesday night inter- district game sends Panther Valley to Hershey for a Fri- day night game against Ox- ford and a try at another step upward toward the state Class B championship. Donegal was in trouble from the first jump Tuesday night and at only one time was able to make a strike toward catching up. That point was just as the second quarter closed. Trailing 33 to 18, the In- dians exploded. Engle rang the bell close in; McCowin banged one through and add- (Turn to page 8) ® An Editorial Eighteen year olds, just because they are 18 years of age, are not old enough to vote! There possibly are some 18-year-olds who are old enough. But, on the other hand, there are 21-year-olds who" are not. The 21st birthday is an arbitrary milestone set because society has observed that sometimes, general- ly, in that age period, young people are ready to as- sume the responsibility of casting a ballot. Age 21 is an arbitrary figure. The same can be said, of age 65 for retirement, So is age six for enter- ing school. Likewise, age 16 is an arbitrary age set for being eligible for receiving a driver's license. (Turn to page 7)
