Then there was the Mount
Joy man who returned home
Sunday evenng with a roar-
ing headache ready to watch
the moon walk. His head
hurt so badly he thought
that he'd take a couple of as-
pirins. ’

He reached into the medi-
cine cabinet for the pills,
got his hand on the wrong
bottle and inadvertently
took a couple of sleeping
pills. Yes sir, he dropped off
to the land of nod and for
all practical purposes slept
through the entire show.

Reminds us of the child
we knew who was going to
take a train ride. It was a
big deal. The anticipaton had
been long and intense. But,
because he usually suffered
from car sickness, mother
gave him a couple of pills
so he could feel well and en-
joy the train ride.

The little fellow climbed
aboard the train, settled
down and promptly went to
sleep. He missed the entire
train ride.

Did you consider that tele-
vision the past few days —-
Sunday particularly, we
thought, pulled off the big-
gest mass educational pro-
gram in science that this
country has ever known.
And, the way they did it the
entire country, and the
world, too, we suspect, was
spoon fed knowledge in
terms and words which it
could understand. It was tre-
mendous.

One Mount Joy woman felt

Two rookie officers of the
Mount Joy police force were

‘Of This and That’
Some thirty years ago,
Wendell L. Willkie had a
dream. He made a book out
of it, and called: it “One
World”.
We would like to suggest
Sunday after-
noon Mr. Willkie’s dream be-
came a reality for a few
hours.
In spite of distances, in
spite of wars and rumors of
war, in spite of tension and
strife, all the peoples on our
earth became literally “one
world” as they watched two
men step down from the
“Eagle” and wolk around on
the moon!
They were ‘united’ in a
way that Wendell Willkie
did not envision. They were
“one world,’ rejoicing in a
fabulous accomplishment of
the “earthlings”. They were
sharing in a feat perform-
ed not just by Americans but
by mankind, using as it did
the knowledge accumulated
by men for countless cen-
turies.
Having “united” spontan-
eously and emotionally, for
a brief time, won’t the peo-
ple of the earth continue to
feel closer to each other than
ever before? Perhaps a by-
product of man’s trip to the

One of the interesting
that happened during our
Fourth of July week’s vaca-
tion was a brief visit to the
ton Ohio at Wright-Patterson
Air Force Base.
We first heard glowing re-
marks about the museum
several years ago from the
Rev. Donald Feick, former
pastor of St. Luke's Episco-
pal church here in Mount
Joy, and now living in Sym-
rna, Del. y
Rev. Feick spent a few
weeks in Dayton, serving as
a chaplain for the Air Force
during a period of summer
“activity duty” in the Air
Force Reserves.
He recommended the Mu-
seum highly, and we had
been eager to see it. It lived
up to our expectations!
It is huge, and embraces a
coliection of hurdreds of air-
planes of all szes, shapes,
ages and designs. In the
building itself, the story is
told of the history of aviation
in our country, with special
emphasis on planes that have
been used by the Air Force.
The story begins even be-
fore the Wright brothers,
and continues right down to
the space age.

plain, using their hands.
That’s what Jean, who is
from Nice, France, is doing
this week as he begins a six-
weeks stay in the United
States as a guest of the Mit.
Joy Lions Club.
Fifteen years old, son of a
member of a Lions club,
Jean arrived Sunday night
in Lancaster and was met
by Jay Barnhart. He'll di-
vide his time with five other
Lions families — Lewis Bix-
ler, Gerald Sheetz, Charles
Hershey, Paul Gingrich and
Kenneth Grove.
But. as a starter to coni-
munications, one of Jean's
best words is OK. And, on
the part of his host, Jay
Barnhart this week commu-
nicates best by saying ‘tres
bien,” which is a good
equivalent.
When it’s necessary, an
English-French dictionary is
a good help and the friend
ship, as early as Monday,
was flourishing.
At the Bulletin office, there
were problems as an inter-
view began but mutual un-
derstanding is not, apparent-
ly, built entirely on words.
It is not necessary to undei-
stand all the words. News-
print is paper and ink is ink
and any 15-year-year-oid
youngster can watch a Linc-
type machine operate and
see more than he has words
to describe.
Jean has two brothers, both
younger, we were able to
France about 10 or 15 miles
from the tiny but famous
country of Monaco on the
French Riviera.
He’s never seen the form-
er president of France—De-
Gaulle—and it is hard to
translate his schooling into
terms of American grade
levels. ‘However, his letter
of introduction would indi-
cate that he is what might
well be a freshman in high
school. And, of course, he is
age 15, which all adds to a
common total.
Jean is quick, alert and
catches onto the trend of the
conversation. A pencil and a
piece of paper help with the
conversation — a drawing. a
map, a name (frequently it
is the pronunciation, not the
spelling, whch is the prob-
lem) or a number. Numbers?
But, his figure 1’s look more
like inverted V’s. Sevens

stem of the number.

School Takes Long Range Look at Position
ding additions are forseen— years (until 1977-78). That
Donegal schools — “where
they have been, where they
are and where they hope to
go’’—is the scope of a her-
culean work produced and
issued this summer, entitled
“Long Range Development
Plan.”
Done by the school staff
as a result of a mandate
by the Commonwealth, the
267-page study is a compila-
tion of statistical and narra-
tive material pertaining to
the Donegal School District
area, its people, its land, its
history and extending
through a detailed descrip-
tion of school facilities, cur-
riculums and finances.
Although the work is en-
titled, “Long Range Devel-
opment Plan,” the pound,
634 ounce job emphasizes
the fact that the future, ev-
en when studied by those
closest to the problem, by
the best informed about the
problem and by the most
concerned with the problem
have no access to a crystal
ball in seeing or actually
looking very far into the
“long range’ picture.
Out of the entire mass of
material, emerge only a few
glimpses into the future.
For instance, it now ap-
pears that in the early 1970's
—1971 or ’'72—it probably
will be necessary to build a
“middle school”, probably
on the site of the now under
construction Riverview
school.
This fact, however, is not
new. It is something which
has been discussed many
many months prior to the
study’s beginning.
A middle school, roughly
a junior ‘high school, would
handle growth which would
tax the Beahm Junior high
school. :
Depending upon growth
patterns of population, buil-
‘dent,
possibly — at the three ele-
mentary schools Seiler,
Grandview and Maytown.
One of the shadowy fac-
tors in making a long-range
plan in any detail is the
unknown economic future
of the area. Industrial and
residential development,
conceivably, could make tre-
mendous changes, the study
points out.
But, on the basis of nor
mal, past growth, the study
forsees a gain of about 3822
pupils within the next ten

AN EDITORIAL
~ These Days in
Man’s greatest week
Which We Live!
in history!
These are the days we are living as mankind
achieves one of its longest sought goals—its old-
est dream—its least expected achievement.
Since man’s first quest for knowledge, since
he looked upward eons
explore his surroundings, he has pondered
ago, since he began to
the
moon and considered it to be one of the most un-
attainable.
Man has carved his language, his thinking,
his pattern of expressions
and his figures of
speech out of his wonderment about the moon and
its unattainability.~
