Original puppet skits were
presented to the Grandview
Elementary School last
Thursday by the creative
workshop students. This was
a six week project headed
by Mrs. Myers and Mrs.
Woodie.
The students involved are
gifted children from the
Donegal district in grades 4,
9, and 6. They composed
the scripts, constructed the
scenery and designed their
own puppets for the show.
‘Of This and That’
When we were small, our
grandmother had a plant
growing in her garden which
was called ‘snow on the
mount” because it had a
sort of “frosty” look to its
thick green leaves.
We saw another kind of
‘snow on the mount” this
past week end as we rode
the ‘Spirit of St. Louis’ back
to the state of Indiana again.
It was the locust trees, in
full bloom, on all the hill-
sides along the 650-mile pan-
orama spread out between
Lancaster and Indianapolis.
The fragrant white blos-
soms practically covered the
mountains in some places,
and it was a sight to behold
“The glory of the locusts,”
we called it to ourselves, be-
cause it was so beautiful.
The tulip poplars were in
bloom, too, and we saw one
occasionally. The yellow of
the wild mustard was every-
where, as was the white of
the blackberry blossoms and
the lavendar and white of
the wild sweet williams.
Two yellow wild flowers
we saw we couldn't name
until we got to our destina-
tion and a botanically-mind-
ed member of- the family
told us they had been ‘goats’
beard’ and ‘golden alexand-
er” (Such interesting names!)
*® ® ®
It is a beautiful route the
train follows — up the Sus-
quehanna to Lewistown, ac-
ross to Altoona, then over
through the mountains to
Pittsburgh, After that it
crosses the rolling Ohio hills
to Columbus, then speeds
through the flat, level farm-
land between Dayton and
Indianapolis. There are doz-

He paid no attention what-
ever to the train—just kept
on investigating the lush
grass to see what he could
find!
Indianapolis was all agog
over the BIG RACE — the
500-mile Memorial Day clas-
sic at the Indianapolis Speed-
way on Friday. An evening
newspaper which was given
us to read on the train com-
ing home had big front page
pictures of some of the driv-
ers and their cars. Inside
were pictures and intérviews
with race drivers’ pretty
wives. One editorial caution-
ed those attending to use
extreme care. in arriving at
the Speedway and in mov-
ing about on the “infield”
during the day-long race.
* * J
We attended the qualify-
ing trials once. Once was
enough. We edged our way
in bumper - to - bumper
traffic all the way from
downtown Indianapolis out
to the Speedway, which
is at the western edge of
the city. It was a hot, mug-
gy day, the engine became
overheated, and the experi-
ence was a very frustrating
one! This was 30 years ago.
We can only imagine what

Sunday morning, as we ate
our breakfast on the diner,
we looked out the big win-
dow and saw a wiry red
fox! He was nosing around
in a big, wild meadow be-
tween Dayton and Rich-
mond. At first we thought
it was a dog, and wondered
why he was so far from any
visible human habitation,
We looked quickly again,
and realized it was a fox!

Vietnam War Vets Share
Disabled Veterans of the
Vietnam War are now shar-
ing in the benefits of the
annual sale of V.F.W. Buddy
Poppies, according to Com-
mander Lloyd Shank of Mt.
Joy Post 5752 of the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars.
“The casualty rate of the
Vietnam war has already
surpassed that of the Korean
war and combat disabilities
have been suffered by tens
of thousands more,” Com-
mander Shank said. “These
men and their families are
being aided by the Veterans
of Foreign Wars along with
those from previous wars.”

Mount Joy has its share
of locust trees. We first be-
came aware of them when
Roy Lehman, Wood street,
told us to be sure to see the
blossom laden
trees. They are truly lovely.
These, and all the locust
trees we saw this past week-
end should insure against a
dearth of locust fence posts
and railroad cross ties for
many years to come!
of the proceeds of the sale
of VFW Buddy Poppies will
be used to augment money
raised by dues of members
of the overseas veteranh
group = to provide claims
rounseling and -assistanre to
disabled veterans.
The balance of the funds
contributed by - the public
during the Poppy Sale are
used for direct relief to lo-
cal disabled and needy veter-
ans and their families, for
the support of the Veterans
of Foreign Wars National
Home for orphans of deceas-
ed veterans, and for pro-
grams in the various veteran
hospitals and facilities.
According to Shank, the
need for claims counseling is
especially great at the pres-
ent time. “Proof of service-
connection of disabilities suf-
fered by discharged service-
men is required before they
can qualify for compensa-
tion,” he said. “The Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars operates
claims service offices in ev-
ery state of the Union and
in the state of Washington,
D.C, to assist in gathering
and presenting the neces-
sary evidence.”
