By R.A.R. For whatever is is worth to those of you who some- times wonder if what you are thinking is in line with what other people are thinking, let us tell you that several people mentioned last week’s Bulle- tin editorial which dealt with the Pennsylvania scholarship grants. ® oO o In essence, the opinion ex- pressed by the editor was that - “we favor giving aid and help 40 these people who need it, but we do not approve of gifts of scholorship money.” We put it this way, ‘Loans, yes. Grants, no!” ®o oo © This appears to be the thinking of a lot of people ‘these days and it may be a help to those of you who have ‘wondered about how your own thinking stacks up with ‘that of others in the commun- ‘ity. One thinking man said, “I'll go along with no-inter- est loans.” He has put some children through college the hardest way. ® 6 eo We'll go along with long- term loans — 8 years, if nec- essary. ® © © The heart of the matter is that wunless youngsters or their families wants a college education badly enough to ob- ligate themselves for a cheap loan, they don’t want a col- lege education badly en- ongh to accept, as a gift, the money earned the hard way by the rest of the taxpayers. ® © o One evening last week planners working on the Mar- ietta - East Donegal Township - Mount Joy comprehensive study for the future held a meeting at the borough build- ing. ® Oo © Among the many ideas tos- sed out was one which merits special interest by the loeal community. : ® © o The planner indicate that perhaps within the next six years or so there will be a heavily increasing need for another bypass around Mount Joy! ® © © Sound like a round the bypass? ® © ® No, a bypass around Mount Joy from the Marietta-Colum- bia area toward the new 230 Expressway. ee © © The planners feel that there will be a need to take traffic out of Mount Joy and route it around the borough, rather than trying to handle Route 141 on the town streets. ® © @ They feel that a new road- way should begin somewhere south of Donegal high scheol and cut north and east a- round the borough, heading toward the Mount Joy—Man- heim interchange on the ex- pressway. bypass a- ® &® Why do planners try to look ahead for such things? It would be a shame for some one to open a development, build a factory, start a busi- ness or do some other impor- corridor, tant thing in the which this kind of bypass would use. Without advance thinking, someone could be hurt unnecessarily. & @& @® Another concern expressed by the planners relates to the traffic which will be generat- ed by the new votech school, when it opens in the fall. ® © © That concern already has been translated into an order for the Mount Joy mayor and (Turn to page 2) ® VOL. 69.

Currently a crew of state highway workers in charge of Louis Simenetti, a soil engin- eer, is taking core drillings to provide data for founda- tion design. They are finding in four of the six borings which they are making with their big, yellow machine, that solid bed rock is be- tween 20 and 25 feet below the surface at the points need- ed for foundations. TEN CENTS The design of the new bridge, which will replace the 50-year-old hump back struc- ture, is completely modern and will be tied in with new approaches on both ends that are designed to eliminate both water in times of flash floods and the unpleasant and dang- erous low swags at each end of the present bridge.

Indians Stretch Perfect String to Nine With a whopping 10-run first inning, Donegal swamped Columbia, 19 to 1, Tuesday afternoon and ran their seas- son’s record to 9-0! It was a whirlwind ball game for the Indians, who collected 10 hits and were charged with only one error. Bruce Sutter hurled a one- hitter, striking out 14 Tides- men and winning his sixth of the scason. He gave only two walks.. Musser had a double and a triple in four times at bat Approve Codification Unit Passed on first reading, Mount Joy's long-awaited ordin- ance codification program moved into its final stages Monday night, May 4, as Borough Council approved the work which has been done over a period of many many months. The codification, which includes a critical revision of all laws of the borough, will come up for second and final ‘reading on Monday night, June 8. Following that, the new ordinances will be published and will be available for pullic inspection. Codification has been a long, difficult job, beginning several years ago when Penns Valley Publishers, Inc., of State College took the borough's old ordinance books, going back into the 1850’s, and began an examination and study of the regulations which govern the city. Many recommendations were made, including deletions, additions, amendments=—all designed to bring the ordinances up to date and yet at the same time preserve the purpose and intent of the original. Some 300 or more ordinances into about 40 sections. have been compressed An official notice of the final reading will be published within the next week, advising the public of the council's action and notifying the public that the full text of the new ordinance codification may be examined. The date of June 8 was set when council voted to change its June meeting from the first Monday of the month to the second Monday of that month. Subsequent monthly meeting will be held on the first Monday as usual Since Penns Valley Publishers, Inc., began the study of the Mount Joy ordinances, the firm has been sold and is now owned by Better Government, Associates Inc., of Har- risburg. and McCurdy had a double. Two Columbia pitchers were worked for a dozen walks, Wolfgang charged with the loss after working one third inning. Coach Don Staley used 16 men, half of them hitting safe- ly. Thursday afternoon, May 7, Manheim Central comes to Donegal and Tuesday, May 12 the Tribe goes to Hempfield. Number Eight Hurling a three-hitter, Tom Houseal won his third game of the season and kept Done- gal’s season unblemished at 8 straight wins. The Indians nipped Man- heim Twp. 3 to 0, pushing single runs across in the first, third, and fifth innings as they claimed two hits off Har- ry Forrey. Penwell and Hay hit safe- ly, the former belting a triple in the fifth. A wild pitch gave the In- dians its first run, a squeeze play did it the second time and after Penwell had tripled he came home on a passed ball. All of which is the way Donegal plays baseball to win. It was the fourth game of a long week for the Indians, who had previously stopped Ephrata, 3-1, E-town, 2 to 0, and Pean Manor, 8 to 2, and sent the season in its second half. , Romping home five runs in the fourth inning, Donegal Wednesday afternoon, April 29, lengthened its Section I baseball lead and kept the season’s record a clean seven wins. Penn Manor, one of the strong threats to the Indians, was shut of, 8-2, for the af- ternoon, Bruce Sutter taking his fifth win of the season. Sutter, relieved by Houseal, had worked seven innings the afternoon before against Eli- zabethtown, making a total of 12 for the two days. He gave one hit, one walk and fanned eight. Houseal coming on from right field, gave four hits, a walk and struck out two. Donegal hit safely eight times, McCurdy getting two singles in twice at bat and Penwell rapping a double. Three P.M. pitchers were worked for seven walks while fanning only two. Donegal broke wide open in the fourth with Penwell’s double and three walks. Five runs scored and that would have handled the situation. In the home half of the sixth, the Tribe added three more—=Sutter getting a two-run single. the game On Tennis Team Sheri Landis. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Landis, of Mount Joy R1, is currently a member of the women’s ten- nis team at Millersville State College.
