The weather was warm and ideal. This was their first experience with fly- ing and they report enjoying it very much. The weather conditions cooperated and the pilot kept them informed of their location during the entire flight across the United States, which was very inter- esting and beautiful. * * * Mr. and Mrs. Donald Straub entertained their son, Fred, with a birthday dinner at the Horse Inn in Lancaster for his seventh birthday Satur- day.

Clair W. and Mary (Sea- ber) Ginder, 221 School Lane, a son, Tuesday, Nov. 18, at home. Set for Basketball '69-'70 Ready or not, here they come! On Tuesday night, Dec. 2, in whatever early-season condition it finds itself, the Donegal basketball team will make its first stand. Scheduled for 8 p.m. on the home floor, the Indians of Coach Ken Keener will host the Lampeter-Strasburg five for a pre-league game. A J.V. contest will begin at 6:45 p.m. The Tuesday night game is the first of four non-league games which will serve to warm up the Indians for the 14. game County League sea- son, which will get under way on Friday, Dec. 19, and run through the remainder of the season, ending Feb. 13. The season’s schedule calls for two league games with Hempfield, Penn Manor, Eph- rata, Manheim Township, Manheim Central, Columbia and Elizabethtown. What lies after that lineup, only the season itself can tell. Whether there will be a post-season tourney trail for Marine Pvt. the Indians as there was a year ago, only time can tell. However, the outlook this season is not the same as a year ago. Coming into the varsity picture last season were Bob McCowen, Stanley Tucker, Al Duarte and Steve Sload, all red-hot ball players who are now gone and must be replaced with untested and unseasoned talent. Whether or not the Tribe can be whipped into a ‘“win- ning” combination is yet to be determined. But, Coach Keener, who is famous for the towel he carries, already has pointed out the size of the job ahead. One of catches to the crying towel approach is that few fans this time . last year would have guessed in their wildest dreams that the In- dians of 1968-69 would be champions and cover them- selves with repeated glory. The lone returnee from that roaring team is Bruce Sutter, ‘the only first-string- er who was a junior. 1—Seriously consider the installation of curbs on West Main street through the Florin ward. 2.—Continue improvements of Wood Street, re- constructing one or two of the sections re- maining after the 1968 project. 3.—Buy and regularly use a street sweeper. 4.—Press for borough ordinances. 5.—Enlarge the “Music 6.—Start now to provide more water for cooperating and participating community, completion of the borough-owned codification of in the Park” project. our with any agency which is interested in such a project. 7.—Improve the quality of water supplied by the municipal water system. 8.—Press for improvement on Manheim street between Mount Joy and the site of the new 230 Bypass interchange, including the drain- age problems in the area of the Little Chiques creek bridge. 9—Take steps to insure that property within the borough has fire plugs located within reason- able protection ranges. 10.—Encourage public and/or private capital to launch a’ tourist attraction which will put Mount Joy “on the map.” Chas. Derr Quits -- 51 Yrs. Charles Z. Derr, better known as “Here Comes Charlie,” will retire Decem- ber 24, 1969. On Nov. 24, he fulfilled a promise made 22 years ago when he first began working for New Standard. The word he gave was that he would give a 30 day notice when he wanted to quit. That no- tice he gave to Morton F. Zifferer, president of New Standard corporation early this week. Charlie started driving iruck on Oct. 16, 1918; for Clarence Schock of the old Richard Herr Wounded modern airport. The group went through a Constellation plane and each boy got to sit in the pilot's seat. Then they were taken on a flight simulator, which is a mock up of a Constellation plane’s cabin, complete with the en- tire instrument panel, all controlled electronically. To finish the tour they got to go up in the control tower and watch it operate. After eating a bag lunch at the base they returned home with the following parents: Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hollister, Mrs. Herb Weller, Mr. and Mrs. John Rogers, Leroy Ben- der, Mrs. Ron Gotwalt and Mr. and Mrs. Ray Bair.

BIRTHS William A. and Carol (Shaffner) Mihaliak, of 316 Chocolate Ave., a daughter, Sunday, Nov. 23, at General hospital. Marine Pvt. 1st Class, Richard Herr, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jay Herr, 561 West Main St., Mount Joy, was reported woudded in the abdomen from friendly small arms fire when mistaken for a hostile force while engaged in a squad-sized ambush in South Vietnam. Mr. and Mrs. Herr receiv- ed a letter from their son, from a hospital in Guam, saying that he had been wounded Oct. 19. Later, they received a telegram from Washington informing them of their son’s injuries while engaged in action in Quang Nam Province. He was treated aboard the U.S. Naval hospital ship USS Repose and then evacuated to the U. S. Naval hospital on Guam where his injuries were diagnosed as wounds of the abdomen, back and kid- neys. His condition is report- ed as good. In the letter to his parents, he said that his doctor hopes to have him home for Christ. mas. Herr attended Donegal H. S., and was employed by the Gerberich Payne Shoe Co. before entering the Marine Corps in July, 1968. He re- ceived his basic training at Parris Island and was sent to South Vietnam in March, of 1969. “Independent Oil Company’, now known as The Sico Co. At that time he drove a two- cylinder auto car truck at a salary of $20 per week. That was big money then and he worked 60 to 80 hours a week. But hours did not mean a thing, money was what talked because he had just been married. This past October 14 Char- lie completed 51 years of truck driving and traveled 2,400,000 miles. He had one slight accident in Wayne, Pa. on July 17, 1948. The dam. age was $170. The former Mount Joy man who now lives in Salun- ga went through 46 tough winters, of which only five were ‘open! winters. In 1917-18, Peter Zerphey, Sr. and Charlie drove a bob sled with four head of horses from Mount Joy to Colum- bia, then on to Washington Boro. The purpose was to serve the farmers with gaso- line and kerosene. They had to get the team in the field outside of Mount Joy and stay in the fields until they reached Mariefta. As there were no snow plows then, the roads were closed for weeks and everything had to be shoveled open, Charlie says, “He really shoveled a lot of snow in his time. When you get a snow blizzard now, the roads are all cleared in a matter of hours or a day.” Although he says he knows he will miss it a lot, because truck driving is what has been his job for so many years, he hears of so many accidents and wouldn want to be ‘“‘next.” He does feel that many ac- cidents are unnecessary. His driving advice is as follows: “Think! Be alert at all times. Be courteous, and give instead of take. When leaving for a destination, allow plenty of time; don't take late leaving out on the highways. Don’t cut others off short. Come in gradually. Most of all, become accus- tomed to your turn signals. You may sooner or later wish you had.” A dragonfly, “carrying its long body on wings thinner than fine | paper, can hit 40 miles an hour. ! —— 2 Ate
