The news concerns the ac- tivities in Northern Ireland and Mount Joy, as many people know and under- stand, draws its name and a large part of its background from that very part of the world. In Ireland, during the past few days, there has been bloodshed and death as the citizenry battle for ideals and ideas they have cherish- ed for many years, actually centuries. One of the beginning points of the most recent trouble surrounded the 280th observance of the siege of Londonderry by King James II for a period of nearly five months. The siege was in 1689 and it brought hardship, pesti- lence and famine upon the citizens It was not until two ships—the Mountjoy and the Dartmouth — arrived that the people were relieved and saved. L.ater, when people of that area came to the New World., they ° remembered their joy on the occasion of the lifting of the siege and named both a township and the community Mount Joy. These are historic facts re- searchers found thru the state library, principally from a book entitled, “A History of the Siege of Londonderry and Defense of Enniskillen in 1688.” The present troubles even involve the area of Donegal (Turn to nage 4) ® James Zeller (From page 1) mulation of the state’s bud- get. : Zeller, who lives at 274 Orchard Road, Newark, has been a member of the cabin- et of Mayor Haskell.
